Other one got locked at 30. I think I've figured out how Flashpoint ends, and we get the DCnU. {Spoiler}Flash is the only one who can remember what the real DCU was like. But he also hasn't been back for very long. We've seen that his memory is starting to get replaced with Flashpoint universe memories. I believe that when Flashpoint is over, the DCnU will be rebuilt from what the Flash remembers. Am I close? Whatchu think? |

Eh, I just think that {Spoiler}Flash figures out how to reverse time, he does it, but he send it back to 5 years after superheroes are mainstream, thus setting up the new DCU. |

Neither of those theories is convoluted and ridiculous enough for a Johns script.

Flash goes back in time, but it's revealed that he's really run forward in time and so when he skids to a halt from going at top speed, he turns the universe inside out. Then he tries to undo what he did so he gets Reverse Flash and they tie themselves together and run in a big circle which destroys the universe and drops Barry in the Flashpoint timeline. Thawne is really trying to help Barry but has a bout of explosive amnesia and tries to kill Barry. This results in their brief (but long lasting from their perspective) love affair. After the slashfic is over, then they hold hands and run forever until they have a baby and that baby is the new universe.

A wizard did it. Hey, someone had to say it. Well, since this is now the new Flashpoint/DCnU thread, here's a video about how the change of Superman being single in the new DCU: www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-big-picture/3830-Super-SingleIn summary: {Spoiler}
-It's not another version of You-Know-Who, actually better, as Superman's marriage had no impact on him, so it was a pointless stunt. It also goes against Superman's ideals to have him married, but not change his actions at all.
- Seems like another reason to get Superman and Wonder Woman together. Wonder Woman should just get out of the closet already. Don't see why many writers like to pair her and Supes together in various alternate continuities
-The red undies being gone is good, too.

It's been part of Superman's dynamic for almost 80 years. I really don't get how they can even have a character of Lois Lane within the Superman mythos if she isn't going to be in a relationship with him.

I preferred WW's relationship with Batman over her having a potential one with Superman

I'd love if like in two years, the 'New' DC is revealed to be a dream of the Psycho Pirate.
Is he back? I know Black Adam killed him at some point.. but eh.

God, I love a well written Black Adam. Me too. Right there under Supes as my second favorite DC character. Though in a way, as much as I love that he's gotten exposure in the last decade, I kinda miss him being a little obscure in that once upon a time, it seemed like me and a buddy of mine were the only Black Adam fans around, and then BOOM! they started putting him in everything, and he's awesome, but it's a lil less special. I guess it's a weird 'indy band' sorta mentality, only I still love him even having " sold out" lol |

Is is just me or is Flashpoint WAY too short for what it is, 5 issues is not enough, Hell even the tie ins are too short.
This should have been maybe 8 issues (Or Longer) so we can have more development.

I agree so much. Feels like I just started getting into it and it's finishing in like 2 weeks.

{Spoiler}Reverse Flash has revealed himself to be the cause of this new "Universe" and I feel this is where the story "Begins" (So to speak) but it's at the end now.
Issue 5 is gonna be cramped
- The How Reverse Flash caused Flashpoint
- Return Of Superman And his reason for returning (IF he makes a return)
- Grodd and his Primate army getting involved
- Wonder Woman vs Aquaman
- The War vs Atlanteans & Amazons
- Flash vs Thorne
- The Resolution (Whatever it is)
Also I'd have liked more about
- Flash reacting to the Flashpoint Universe NOT Just Gotham & Central City.
- The Furies - How & Why they got picked by WW
- The Captain Marvel crew - Not even a 1 Shot about an important character/s
- More Development of the Secret 7 - it felt like I was reading 27 - 30 rather than 1 - 3 They should have cut down "Brightest Day" (That should not have been 24 issues long) and dedicated more time to this AND it's tie ins. |

I'm just so scared of what Conner is going to be. I love the way he's been written for pretty much 10 years, and his friendship with Tim is one of my favorite friendships in all of comics. If they turn him into an iteration closer in personality to his Young Justice counterpart (I HATE THAT CHARACTERIZATION!!!!) I'll riot. I understand if they want to change things around, but some things should never change. |
