My guesses which are most likely wrong
Baman will be Thomas Wayne Bruce's father.
Robin will be Chuck Grayson the former aid to the WW II Robotman.
Huntress will turn out to be former Tigress/Paula Brooks of the Young All-Stars.
Golden Age Mr. Miracle will be a young Thaddeus Brown. My second guess would be public domain Golden Age Mister Miracle from Holyoke wiki/Mr._Miracle
Golden Age Aquaman will be Atlan Aquaman's immortal father or Neptune Perkins under the name Aquaman now.
Golden Age Red Lantern will be the host to the Butcher Red Lantern entity.
Golden Age Legionnaire is most likely a time traveling member of the Legion of Super-Heroes however he could be connected to the Club of Heroes Legionary i suppose.
Ladybug is most likely tied to the Golden Age Blue Beetle i would think. But i thought he had a sidekick called Sparky.
The truth will probably be that they are all new characters though.
Another possibility would be the Young All-Stars. Originally, Iron Munro, Flying Fox, Fury, and Neptune Perkins were created to be replacements for the Golden Age Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman; but they were created in the 80s, with 80s sensibilities; so recasting them as (part of) the JSA of the 80s would be appropriate.
Neptune Perkins was actually a character from DC comics back in the 1940s.
The New Golden Age: Discussion Thread
Someone (D.Z) mentioned in the Flashpoint Beyond thread that we should start a New Golden Age thread to talk all things that are coming out of Flashpoint Beyond and the Stargirl spring break special. What do we have to talk about?
1. We have time travel
2. We have returning characters like Helena Wayne Huntress
3. We have 13 new characters who got sent to the 1940's and are being reintegrated into the timeline
4. We got missing golden age children captured by someone named the Childminder
5. Possibly the Legion of Superheroes
6. Definitely the new generation of Watchmen characters.
"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."
I’m hoping one of the unannounced projects will be a time masters miniseries, really want to more with them. Though with them having a supporting role in the first JSA arc(which is already a crowded title), I’m doubtful they get a book so soon.

This all sounds really cool! Johns planning to introduce new Golden Age characters and shake up continuity/DC history reminds me of what Roy Thomas did with All Star Squadron and Infinity Inc.
The Golden Age of comics seemed to introduce a new character every month (companies wanted to cash in on the Superman craze), so there is tons of story potential.
I’m liking the diversity too. Wing was the first Asian superhero. It’s about time they acknowledge that. Plus I’m really interested to see John Henry Jr. Glad it’s not the same guy from New Frontier but the design definitely looks inspired by Cooke.
This is one of the more interesting things DC has done in years. Nice to have Johns back. I’m hoping he just comes up with the stories and characters and then let’s other writers do the actual comic.

Jason Todd could maybe just buy a Dark Vader voice changer helmet and paint it red. Jason Todd could also buy a Darth Vader cape and paint it red.

Flash and Green Lantern are two characters I definitely expect to go back to a more traditional or classic look, or at least back to their original New 52 redesigns (which for the most part were never that different from their old looks).
It already looks like Flash is going back to his old look after the current Thawne arc, so we're finally done with the eyesore that was his DCYou costume, and if Hal is no longer a Renegade post-Rebirth we should see him back in his GL costume.
I'd be down for the classic Wonder Woman look coming back, but I would also be perfectly fine with the Fabok redesign sticking as Diana's main look post-Rebirth. It would also work as a bit of movie synergy without being that intrusive or unwelcome .
I hope if Dinah's in Birds of Prey that they give her a classic Black Canary look or something to that effect. I know they used her new rockstar direction as a way of justifying her wearing all those outfits with fishnets, but I hope she goes into Rebirth with a consistent Black Canary costume and it's not too different from the norm.
I'd like for Zatanna to just go back to her classic, magician look, especially when most of her current appearances seem to be using that look instead of the Reis costume or her initial Justice League Dark look.
Green Arorw...I doubt the classic Neal Adams look is coming back, but I'd be fine with something in the vein of Ollie's Young Justice look or the current Arrow costume, and would love it if they finally brought back the goatee (judging by the recent covers, it looks like it's already back?).
Cyborg is one character I expect to keep their DCYou look, or at least hope they do.
Martian Manhunter I would also be fine keeping his New 52 costume.
I don't think there's anything wrong with Vixen's New 52 look, but if she ends up being redesigned and in any book I would like something reminiscent of Bourassa's design for her web-series.
I'd be down for a Supergirl redesign bringing back her skirt, especially when the TV show costume has it .
I know a lot of people really like Batgirl's current costume, but while I like it enough I still don't view it as a proper Superhero costume, so I'd like it if they gave Batgirl a redesign that maybe combined aspects and sensibilities of both her original New 52 look and the Stewart/Tarr redesign. Maybe something that resembled The New Batman Adventures look but with a purple color scheme?
They're already giving Donna in the present day a new look for Titans Hunt, but I really like that Wonder Girl redesign they made for her for that book as well so I'd be be totally for a redesign for Donna that put her in something resembling that costume.
I think Roy's current design is decent, even if I have problems with the hat (though I get that it's kind of evoking his Speedy look), but I'd love it if they could do a redesign for him that incorporated elements from the Arrow Arsenal suit.

I personally hope they go with the more crustaceans concept for Aquaman:
2004323-aquaman_almost_
It just really pronounces his Atlantean heritage, you know? Plus, it's better, more practical body armor. Guess they're gonna go with the bearded look because of the new movie though

I love Red Arrow's new costume though. Less homeless junkie, more heroic Speedy
