Man of Steel- Superman’s Flashpoint

[Rod G]

Is the upcoming Man of Steel miniseries supposed to be for Superman what Flashpoint was to the Flash?

That would explain more than a lot . . .

Better not be. We don't need more of that nonsense.

We don't really know. At least based on what little information has been released so far. But if I had to guess, I'd say no. It seems like a more straightforward Superman story than that was a Flash story. It seems even less revolutionary than the original MOS was over 30 years ago. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say this is just to re-introduce the pre-Flashpoint history back as his official history more than anything else. Especially if the only controversial change they are making is this generic bad guy as the villain.

Crossing fingers you are right.

[Sacred Knight]

I don't think so. At the absolute most, I think this could give one or two of the "everything you knew is wrong" variety of twists. Which counts as changes, but in regards to the narrative, it would be secret reveals, not timeline changing.

[DragonPiece]

No, and titles like this will confuse people into thinking it is similar to flashpoint, which it's not. Best comparison is geoff johns green lantern rebirth apparently.

[Last Son of Krypton]

DiDio compared Bendis' MoS to Johns' GL: Rebirth and it'll apparently serve to move Superman's status-quo from A to B, whatever B is.

my best guess is jurgens/tomasi brought back superman to being what fans love again and Bendis will bring back the character actually operating in Metropolis and building up the city and also adding more dimensions to Lois and Jon and having them grow as characters, while also expanding the mythos of Superman's backstory.

I dunno... the GL: Rebirth comparison makes me think to an overhaul of the franchise.

Why?

Pre-Flashpoint was a mess.

[Green Goblin of Sector 2814]

Why?

Pre-Flashpont was a mess.

Because the fans want it...simple.

[Rod G]

That’s just your opinion.

[Green Goblin of Sector 2814]

Well, Rebirth has been showing that its not just my opinion.

[Rod G]

It IS just your opinion.

[Green Goblin of Sector 2814]

And apparently that of many others...
