Buzz Comics, le forum comics du monde d'après. - Superman: Leviathan Rising #1

The theory is that Leviathan is a resurrected Roy, who's doing this because of what happened in HIC, or something along those lines.

A lot of the characters involved in the series are related to Roy in some way. There's Ollie, obviously. His series was cancelled because of his involvement in events, which I'm guessing includes Event Leviathan. The fact that his series was cancelled makes me think he's gonna be affected in a major way here, something big enough that it wouldn't make sense for it not to be addressed in his own series. Roy being Leviathan would definitely be something that counts as that, I'd think.

It's just a theory so don't take anything I say here as true lol, but yeah. Whatever it is, I just hope we get Roy back to normal and being a father again by the end of it, if he is involved at all.

That's pretty much all I have. The "evidence" is mainly just the characters involved, Leviathan's look, and Checkmate's involvement, with the character teasers possibly showing more hints if we assume that it is Roy.

The Manhunter teaser says “Kate Spencer, you now carry the legacy. it is a heavy burden to bear. A woman will not fare any better than a man. Your hunt is destined to fail.” Roy's obviously a legacy hero and this could be something about being a legacy hero failed him because it led to his death or something along those lines.

The Lois teaser says “Your mission is to discover the truth. But you can’t see the lies in front of you. The heroes can’t save us all, Lois. It’s up to me to fix this broken world.”

The thing about heroes lying and the fact that “heroes can’t save us” could be connected to how heroes "lied" about Sanctuary's existence and no one knew about it until Lois wrote her article, and the thing about how heroes can't save us can be seen about how Roy died in Sanctuary even though it was designed to save heroes.

The Plastic Man teaser says “You and I were born into a broken world and it almost killed us. We both figured out we needed to start over. Before this world rolled over us. Steps towards me with an open mind.” The whole thing about being born into a broken world could be seen as Roy blaming the world for his addiction. Roy's always blamed himself rather than the world, but again, it's something to think about. The thing here is how Leviathan related to Plas by saying they both had to start over, which is obviously a big thing for Roy since he had to start over after his addiction.

The Green Arrow teaser says “You think you can save the world. With your bleeding heart. I hope you can see the truth in what we are doing. And how we are the same.” This implies that they’re the same somehow, which is pretty obvious for Roy and Ollie, and the line about Ollie thinking he can save the world with his bleeding heart would technically fit if you think about it as Roy and Ollie angst and how Ollie never "saved" Roy from drugs or death-- although it's important to note that Roy has never really thought this way before towards Ollie even after he recovered but it's still important to think of.

The Batman teaser says “Your war on crime accomplishes nothing. I’ve tried it your way.”– which implies Leviathan used to be a hero.

Leviathan wears a red suit with a red hood and has a red arrow necklace.

Right now, Leviathan's goal seems to be to take out all of the secret organizations in DC. Checkmate is one of these organizations. Roy has a history of being an agent of Checkmate, and he left them because he wasn't fond of their methods and the corruption within them, so if he is Leviathan, we can see where he might have motivation there. (Roy being a Checkmate agent is pre-Flashpoint-- it isn't explicitly confirmed whether he is one in this continuity but there's nothing to deny it either and it definitely fits in his timeline.)

We know that "Titans, past and present" are gonna be in this series, so Roy fits into that mold as well.

I guess there's also jason. He's in this event because he's being suspected as being Leviathan (as seen in 25 cent issues a few weeks ago), so again-- another character that's I guess related to Roy somehow.

Guardian aka Jim Harper, Roy's uncle, has appeared some Action Comics issues in the lead up to the comic, so I'm assuming he'll be in Event Leviathan as well.
