Here are the main highlights which have been taken directly from Newsarama's live feed:

Johns is teasing surprise guests for the Green Lantern movie panel in Hall H tomorrow.

Johns says he's looking forward to incorporating all the comic characters we love to movies, television and toys.

The audience is now going to get a Blue Beetle test video. Jaime Reyes was woken from his sleep and fully transformed into his costume.

Johns surprised many of the audience by saying Parallax is in the GL film and now they want more.

Johns just announced they've started work on a Suicide Squad video game. Very violent.

The Blue Beetle show is still in development but Johns says he has plans for lots more characters getting the spotlight too.

The Green Lantern movie costume has come up. Johns said it will not have nipples. He says when you see it in motion and the final actual costume, he has faith that the purists will be very happy.

Cassandra Cain fans will be very happy to hear there are apparently plans for her outside of comics.

Johns says he knows something about development of a Wonder Woman movie in the months and years ahead but can't say anything other than that.

Johns says there's a lot of discussions about Shazam outside of comics.

Johns is having a hard time keeping a secret he is going to reveal this weekend.


Phew! Some pretty big bits of news in there, huh? It would appear that DC have a lot more projects lined up that they've previously talked about. Share your thoughts about these and speculate in the usual place!

Well, we already knew about Parallax, but I'm still pumped beyond belief for the GL panel on Saturday.

A Suicide Squad game sounds interesting. I wonder if it would be like Ultimate Alliance and X-Men Legends.

Guess the power lantern WAS fake then. :)

Shout out to InterestingJohn for spotting it too (first?) and providing the evidence. Good kill. ;)

This is all exceeding my expectations for DC. Cassandra Cain, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, and the Blue Beetle. Excellent :)

I think Shazam could work really well out of comics. Like Harry Potter, Shazam provides an excellent framework for "grounded" magic which allows it to not be hokey.

@Keith: It wasn't fake. It was a probably a concept picture, something to give the fans something to look for but not the final product.

greenhal@ your absolutely right. with all the comic movies slated for next summer and the other stuff going on in t.v. videos games etc....this has to be without a doubt the best comicon ever. im planning a trip next year which will probably suck cause nothing will be going on. a day late and a dollar short :)

Every comic book company needs a "Stan Lee" type who is a true believer. Sounds like DC finally found theirs.

Parallax will only be shown in a future vision of some sort but it will still be awesome.

As I'm sure you all know, I'm not the world's #1 DC fan, but even I've got goosebumps reading some of these teasers and announcements! Now let's just hope they get on with it and start making them a reality!!! :)

Hopefully he will explain Parallax's part in the first GL film cus it's a bit early for such a great villian but we will see.

I have a feelin for the Green lantern film, Parallax will be possesing a corps member for a majority of the film, and at the end he will leave the body of his host and reveal it's true space bug self.

I have high hopes in the green lantern film, I know DC is taking the business with respect to their fans and general audience to be introduced to their films.

I know GL will be a hit and looking forward to watch the trailer also expecting details on The Flash movie at SDCC.

Uhh...Parallax in the movie is not news. They confirmed that a while ago.

So yeah, thanks for getting me all excited for nothing.

he said he has a big secret to reveal this week-end...I'm excited, i am crossing my fingers and really hoping it's some solid news on SUPERMAN. Give us a teaser, a poster SOMETHING please.

Or maybe even, better yet a clear straight forward plan for how we're getting to the JLA movie and how it'll be executed.
