    Actually, reading that article and the one it links to, don't count on it being anyone remotely prominent. They say they're about to "reintroduce" a character who wasn't gay before but will be now, which means it has to be someone who has thus far been absent from the post-reboot comics. And I'm pretty sure that all the prominent characters have been in already.

    ...wait. Wait no, actually, I can think of one that hasn't. While I don't read the comics myself (aside from trades of the Green Lantern series, and the first of the post-reboot ones haven't hit yet), I do have a friend who reads literally everything DC puts out, and occasionally have him tell me about the current goings-on in them, and this character's mysterious absence has come up more than once over the last year.

    Wally West, the second Flash. He's been missing since the reboot, with Barry Allen being the current Flash and Bart Allen being the current Kid Flash. My friend has remarked several times on how strange this is, given Barry Allen was just resurrected shortly before the reboot, after a twenty-plus year period of being dead with Wally being the Flash. This kind of stunt might just explain why such a major character hasn't yet been included in the post-reboot universe.
