There’s a lot of sites out there with transcripts (or approximations thereof) of the DC Nation panel, and the vast majority of it seems to be rehashing old knowledge and witty banter.  That said, there were at least a couple nuggets of knowledge worth gnawing on:

• New (?) Terra shows up in Supergirl #12 (issue to be drawn by Amanda Conner), and this will be the Terra on the Titans East team coming up in Teen Titans, which will be led by Deathstroke.
• A Terra miniseries is still coming, but after that Supergirl appearance
• Cassandra Cain (the recent Batgirl) will also be on Teen Titans East
• A General Zod more like the one from Superman II will be showing up somewhere, sometime
• Brave & The Bold will be a team-up book, with issue #1 starring Batman & Green Lantern, #2 with Supergirl, Green Lantern, Batman, & Blue Beetle, #3 will have all of them, plus a backup with Lobo & Adam Strange
• All 3 heroes in space in 52 will not be returning… so based on the previous bit, it seems that Adam Strange will probably still (unsurprisingly) remain in space
• The upcoming 5 issue extension of Manhunter will lead into an upcoming Wonder Woman story
• Diana Prince will show up in 52, somewhere, sometime
• Ambush Bug will be in issue #24 of 52, as will Checkmate, Suicide Squad, and Martian Manhunter
• There will be a Nightwing annual in early ’07
• Is Roy Harper becoming the Red Arrow, a la Kingdom Come?  “Not really.”
• Seven Soldiers will be coming out next month, they tell us yet again
• Meltzer is writing 14 issues of JLA total, including issue #0
• Despite the fact that we’re getting an All-Star Batgirl, and despite the fact that there’s nowhere to get Barry Allen stories, there are no plans for an All-Star Flash book

Big Barda, Martian Manhunter, and Deadshot, from the new wave of JLU figures
There are tiny figures of female characters all over this line. Supergirl literally looks like a small girl compared to the giganticly manly Superman. Stargirl wasn’t that big to begin with so being short is expected in the toy.
But not Barda. Barda should be a head taller than J’onn J’onzz instead of barely meeting his oversized green torso.
This is not that Barda lovingly honored by novelist Michael Chabon. This looks like a child in a Barda outfit.

Oh well. The rest of the wave has some pretty good figures, including Vigilante, Sinestro, and an appropriately sized Huntress.

Target will get a 6 pack with an exclusive Doomsday figure in additon to another Batman, Superman, and Wonderwoman. I’m as big a beleiver in the Trinity as anyone, but let them rest, Mattel.

I will be updating this post throughout the day with news and announcements as I find them. I will include coverage of last night’s previews as well.

Justice League animation writer Dwayne McDuffie has penned the story for the brand new Justice League Heroes video game. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Zatanna, Martian Manhunter, and Green Lantern are confirmed playable, though the promise of unlockable characters might double that. Come on Hawk Girl!
Also check out a Teaser trailer from TeamXbox.

The screen shots make it look like a total knock-off of X-Men Legends, but considering how well those games did, thats not bad. Snowblind Studio is developing, and they’ve got a fairly good track record on action-RPGs. JLH is coming to the Xbox, PS2, and PSP this fall.
