Wasn't sure where else to post this but it's about the Miles sale.

I grabbed Spider-man vol 2 and Champions vol 1 which I've been meaning to catch up on, but how are ANAD Avengers vol 1-3? I was...

Considering they seem to want to bring back the post-Crisis version of the JSA where they live on the main earth (I would prefer the original golden age characters living on Earth 2, but I'll take...

In Batman #21, Thawne disappeared with the button and reappeared dying/dead moments later. Barry simply caught him during the time he was gone via time travel. So he hasn't died yet.

He also says the world was kept on life support. It's probably just Manhattan or something keeping the dead characters alive so that they can keep fighting. I doubt the world of Flashpoint will be...

I would say they've rebooted (or will reboot) the legion, and it starts with a stranded Saturn Girl who's locked up because everyone thinks she's crazy for talking about the future.

Yeah, this. I mean look at Hal. Pre-Flashpoint his return requires you to overlook a fair amount of his rise and fall to make Parallax work, and post-Flashpoint half the things that happened in the...

Barry is always late, even with comic scheduling.

It would be pretty cool actually if they introduced both Conner and Bart in the future through Legion of Superheroes, then sent them back in time whenever Young Justice came about.

Morrison's AC is great! I don't think you should be too worried about continuity here since it's like 20 whole issues, so you can just read it as a self-contained run.

Some people say to read the Superman Convergence issues but I feel like Lois & Clark summarises them nicely enough, plus it seems to be retconned out of their history anyway.

To get a good idea of...

I agree with this 100%.

I think Superman's actually deceiving us here by making us think they're willing to retcon previous relationships in, but really what they were doing was just retconning...

Oh duh, I didn't think of that. Though I think a reboot might work just fine (meaning have him freshly cloned in the present), since they'll probably have to reboot Bart and some others anyway.

If Conner was 18 now, he'd be 8ish during the death of Superman saga wouldn't he? I thought he was older than that at the time.

I want to view everyone that way really. I know it's difficult when you have so many writers and characters, but if they can just try to make that one of their standards that would be amazing.

Hm. Do you think Conner was simply not part of death of Superman because it's explicitly 10 or more years ago? Kind of like how Supergirl only debuted a couple of years ago. Maybe they want the Young...

I already explained myself. Johns' love for the character probably influenced how he's being written (or not written) in Rebirth since he is the one writing it. I never said anything about him being...

I don't care how hard I have to squint at the continuity, I'm happy as long as I can believe that the comics from the silver age to present are all somehow about the same guy.

You can streamline...

If this timeline proves problematic, then they'll definitely do another event about it. But I wouldn't expect things to reset like the new 52 any time soon.

We all know that. No need to nitpick.

Change isn't always good. This change in particular comes at the expense of his entire TT family and history. Having him graduate from TT to JL is a much better move. He doesn't gain anything from...

Johns might not control whether or not Conner gets to be a part of the DCU, but he's clearly in control of the rebirth plot and will influence how he gets integrated in. Cutting him out of the death...

I'm quite happy for the universe to go the same way as Green Lantern after Flashpoint. How could Hal go crazy if Cyborg Superman doesn't exist? What about Blackest Night with half the characters...

To be honest I don't think everyone needs an entire timeline explained. Superman mostly needed one to explain Jon and fit the two split Supermen together.

What does Barry really need for...

The founders should honestly just be the people who were actually there when the JLA started in the silver age. Just recruit the other people into the modern JLA if you want to use them rather than...

He's one of Johns' favourite characters and he said he didn't like the new 52 version, so he probably just took that version out so they could make something better later. With Tim missing it...
