This article serves no real purpose. It is unmaintainable, and ends up being no more than WP:OR. A list of DC's characters already exists, and the characters are the same from previous continuity besides for minor alterations. &#124;&#124; Tako (talk) 04:01, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Arguably the New 52 are supposed to be "new" characters, but as given in this list, this aspect is not discussed at all, and the "new" aspect should likely be discussed on the individual character pages rather than here. Consider if there's any potential merging opportunities (if not already duplicated) at List of New 52 publications. --M ASEM (t) 13:46, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agreed that this is probably difficult to maintain, and given the lack of information already here there may not be interest in that. Already it's outdated.  I think that a page like this COULD be useful, but it would need to have more information - for example, a section on how each character is different in the new DCU.  But as it stands, it's not serving any purpose. Caseylf (talk) 21:04, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. With no written lead paragraph, it's hard to ascertain why this list is even important. It's more like a pull list of #1 issues than an actual encyclopedia article. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 22:35, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. With no context provided, this article appears to be claiming that Batman and Superman made their first appearances anywhere in 2011. I know that's not what the article creator meant, but I don't know what they did mean, nor why any of this is supposed to be notable. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:32, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
