DC may be heading for a new CRISIS level event in 2020 according to BC

Why wouldn't they wait until this event ends to bring back Superman's red trunks? It would have made an awesome final splash page to showcase the return of the old DCU.

It's not really the old DCU unless it's Pre-COIE.

And if possible, fix the inflation caused by the oil price spike of the late 70's? That really caused some long term damage.

If only all of life's problems were so easy to reboot/wish away.

I would use the Dragon Balls or something to get rid of my student and car loans...

yeah, we haven't had the original DCU in decades.

Flashpoint just replaced another replacement.

Superhero comics are a kind of wish-fulfillment.

You're nicer than I am.

I'd wish for all credit information to be erased. All of it. Everywhere.

Because some villains just want to watch the world burn.

You haven't crossed the line until you start wishing that the people to whom you owe money owed you money instead.

Oh no!!!

Not the DC version of Super-Secret Wars (21st century version)!

I agree in that if this is a full New 52-style reboot, I am done...out. Now, if it's just a minor continuity fix like Zero Hour or Rebirth, I can deal with that, depending.
But since Dan Didio took over they have been needing to "fix" things more and more frequently: Infinite Crisis, Final Crisis, Flashpoint/New 52 and Rebirth (not counting Doomsday Clock yet). And it's getting ridiculous.
Stop making changes to your continuity ever couple years, please!

I would not say we've "needed" it.

Oh geez. Excuse me while I go bang my head against a wall.🤕

I am expecting the end of Rebirth and the Source Wall fix to be the event of 2020.
Likely not a reboot, per se, but more of a 'we're done cherry picking the characters and histories and have sealed the door shut again' type thing.

Rebirth is over internally, they have stopped branding comics rebirth and geoff johns isn't advising creators. That was the extent of rebirth. Just fans keep using the term, you can no writers/official social media accounts use rebirth when talking about the books currently anymore.

I wonder how poorly used and annoying he'll be this time around.

Technically, it won't be over until the threads from the Rebirth Special are finished.
If Rebirth is considered 'done', it's remarkably unfinished.
My understanding is that Rebirth would be completed with the end of Doomsday Clock, the restoration of the missing/stolen time and the returns of the JSA and Legion.

Labeling, bah! Phrasing it as "concluding the plots started in the Rebirth special might be a better way of putting it.
