DC Comics is going All In on new story arcs for its entire lineup including Batman and Superman this October, but stresses that it's "not a retcon or reboot"

In the same Youtube presentation that announced the launch of DC's new All In initiative and the founding of the Absolute Universe, Joshua Williamson and Scott Snyder also revealed some of the changes that will be coming to the main ongoing DCU titles.

All In is a new initiative that splits most of DC's superhero titles into two separate, but linked, strands. On one side will be the new Absolute Universe titles, starting with Absolute Batman, Absolute Wonder Woman, and Absolute Superman. On the other will be the core DCU comics which will continue on as normal, albeit with new arcs and jumping on points, and some with new creative teams. "Not a retcon or a reboot or something like that," as Scott Snyder puts it in the video. "It's a celebration and an expansion of the great storytelling that's been happening at DC. What it is is an invitation to jump in."
