From what DC said in the Q&A, it feels like Instagram is getting about 3x the number of votes as Twitter - Twitter is gonna need to be ridiculously one-sided to beat instagram. We saw instagram already beat twitter and the forums here with Zatanna vs. GL, with GL taking Instagram and winning the overall despite losing the other two polls.

Ok, now having seen the Robins preview page Iām not sure how I feel.
āWeāre going to talk about how we were all Batmanās sidekick, Robin. And decide once and for all, If that was a good thing or not.ā
What? I think I might be leaning to SS7 now.

It looks like I have to vote for books that I have not voted for in the first rounds. Well played, voters. Well played.

I think at least half of them are newly created, or new versions of characters. My speculation, based on the pitch and previews:
- āa millionaire adventurerā = El Dorado
- āa stage magicianā = Zachary Zatara
- "a sugar-obsessed serial killer = Dulce (the teen who looks like a brightly colored Black Alice)
- āa delusional former superheroā = El Gaucho
- āa drunk assassinā = presumably the one in the hood and mask, but not sure who it is. Thought it might be Jericho (as āmute metaā) from the b&w, but the colored and lettered page showed zim talking, so guessing thatās the drunk assassin ā¦ could that be Silencer? (Is she a drinker?) Or could it be Acrata? (Is she an assassin?)
- āa mute metahumanā = the scrawny one who looks like Scarecrow before we see zim hooded and blue faced. Iām leaning towards El Muerto, but ze could be a variant (Flashpoint-esque) version of Pied Piper, a version of Murmur, or even a deep dive revival of The Mute Minstel from The Brave & The Bold (pre-Suicide Squad Viking Prince arc)ā¦
- āand a child who becomes a monsterā = the monster thing, obviously. Iām sincerely hoping this is the offspring of Guts and Bueno Excellente.
I believe Dulce is a new creation for this series. Itās possible the last three could be all new characters, too, but given El Doradoās inclusion, Iām thinking that versions of Acrata and El Muerto make the most sense. (El Muerto, AFAIK, isnāt confirmed as mute, but we havenāt ever seen him speak. Though this character looks far scrawnier.)

Yeah thatās what team Zatanna said last time
Twitter has 4 million possible viewers to vote whereas Instagram has 11 million
Instagram so far always gets more votes and itās poll dominates the others

Iām prepared for the forum bloodsports to be more entertaining than the actual book that wins.

No way I want more Batfamily stuff. I donāt want Blue Beetle or Kyle Rainer. I would never be against some suicide squad though.

Fredric Wertham was right all along?

Definitely wanting Green Lantern to win, no offense to Robins, but there are way to many Bat-Fam books. Plus Kyle Rayner is starring and he is my favorite Lantern. Also would like to see Blue Beetle as well.

He was also a trailblazer in the field of using his āexpertā status to become a media figure causing a moral panic for profit though. A predecessor to the Pat Pullings, the Jack Thompsons, and other assorted busybody scammers.
Not a positive legacy.

Iām going to be soo pissed if Robins wins. We already have enough Batfamily related stuff. Lobo/Animal Man, Zatanna, Blue Beetle and Kyle Rayner titles are all long overdue!
