>Star-Lord
>Superman is going to be cancelled...

  SUPERMAN is not going to be cancelled.  The title is going to be
  changed to something along the lines of 'The Adventures of SUPERMAN'.
  The numbering will continue.  Byrne's SUPERMAN Vol II, No I will 
  be called 'SUPERMAN'.

>What about Batman?

  Since Batman has already been given an updating (back in the 60s),
  I don't believe that anything radical will be done to him.  Batman
  is still a good character and the modifications made to him over the
  years have not been detrimental enough to warrant a complete revamping
 of the character.

>Wonder Woman's sales were falling, so why bring her back? 

  Wonder Woman will be brought back because she is still very valuable
  to DC and Warner Communications.  Her book didn't sell well, but
  she was a visible figurehead.

>Superman's sales were teriffic, so why tamper with a winner?

  Superman's sales were not teriffic.  Dazzler outsold Superman.
  Granted, the character is a winner, but his books have not been
  winners since the middle sixties, at least.
