    Default Will DC reinstate all the Pre Flashpoint Marriages broken in the New 52

    Since Rebirth we've seen:
    Aquaman propose to Mera.
    Bruce propose to the Cat (Which is new....)
    And Superman's Marriage to Lois restored.

    However will we see all the others similarly brought back:
    Wally and Linda
    Jay and Joan
    Barry and Iris
    Oliver Queen and Dinah Lance
    Ralph and Sue Dibny
    Etc

    Most of them will probably return eventually. It will probably be a while before Ollie and Dinah wed again since IIRC their marriage was on the rocks pre-N52. You'd probably have to wait a bit for Wally/Linda because I imagine that once his past is reconciled Linda might want to take it slow.

    Honestly I thought that Barry and Iris would take ages, and that Wally and Linda would be restored by restoring the 10 Years. I agree about Ollie and Dinah though

    Jay and Joan have to be brought back for more than a few panels first.

    BOOM! Yep! If they don't that will be a travesty, they have been together since the 40s? I mean from Jay's first appearance as the Flash, Joan has been an integral part of the character and his stories.

    I had the thought that Joan might be Jay's Lightning Rod that brings him back, in the same way Wally had Linda until Flashpoint and how Barry brought him back

    IIRC, Ollie and Dinah had gotten divorced before Flashpoint rolled around.

    Also, I think Ralph and Sue are definitely married.

    But we don't know if Joan even exists or not in this continuity, or even if she would still be alive at this point (especially without Jay around to moderate her aging process).

    Yeah, I knew about Ollie and Dinah, but could they reintroduce their marriage.
    As for Ralph... I dont know if he is- Last I heard he was a Rogue Secret Six member

    I suspect Arthur and Mera are next, since the engagement has been getting a lot of play. (Maybe issue #50?)
    Barry and Iris seem like they are on a VERY slow build to get there.
    Wally and Linda could take virtually years to get there...won't happen until after Barry and Iris.
    Ollie and Dinah...my guess is unlikely because they're more fun as on-again off-again
    Ralph and Sue...ummm...have we even seen Ralph in Rebirth? Did we even see Sue in the nu52?

    The absence of Ralph in a regular ongoing is baffling considering he's getting major play on the Flash TV show this year. But I can't imagine Ralph without Sue in the picture.

    Well, that all depends on when you started reading DC comics.
    Back in the 1970s, Earth-2 Bruce had been married to Selina.
    (They even had a daughter, Helena Wayne, who became the Huntress.
    This was more than 10 years prior to the introduction of Helena Bertinelli.)

    I'm patiently waiting for Barry and Iris to remember everything -- their marriage, her death, her revival (please, someone give it a less corny explanation), etc.

    After all, no Barry/Iris marriage leads to no Tornado Twins, no Bart Allen, and so on.

    But wouldn't that also lead to "no dead Mommy" for Barry?!?

    (Would Geoff Johns let go of that retcon he introduced?!?)

    God I hate that retcon.
    Why does Barry Allen's mother need to be dead?
    I really loved the idea that Barry became the Flash simply because he wanted to help people. (Inspired by his favourite comic character Jay Garrick!)
    He didn't need the dead mum & persecuted dad bit to inspire him to be a hero. I think it diminishes the character somewhat.
    "My name is Wally West. I'm the fastest man alive!"
    I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
