Hello
I read that

This sounds almost like the Timeline is rebooting ITSELF?

The people in charge just don't seem to care about continuity anymore and just let the writers do what they want without caring if it makes sense or night right now. Characters keep showing up with past history intact even if they have not been seen since before Flashpoint. It is just a giant mess right now. There is no big plan in place just a "screw it do what you want" mentality which is why DC is such a mess right now.

That laxed approach may be because they could be brewing up something next year.
I've seen rumors of a new Crisis next year, hopefully to sort out Doomsday Clock, Rebirth, the Source Wall, Heroes in Crisis and everything else.

The biggest thing that keeps me away from DC is its terrible continuity. I've stopped caring about character history and just read arcs. I pick up books from random points/issues and just read from there. If I did that with Marvel, I'd have yanked my hair out, but with DC it's just such a mess that I've been defeated.

I think your giving Didio/Lee way to much credit. I mean it looked like Johns had a plan all mapped out with Rebirth and then those two basically undercut everything he was planning which is why things are such a mess now.

Collectively, Johns, Didio, and Lee should be known as the Lords of Order (Johns) and Chaos (Didio and Lee).

They keep rebooting because they keep losing their soles.
It socks.

Blame WB and Tsujihara. Johns and Diane Nelson took the fall for that Snyder Justice League movie and Johns lost his Chief Creative Officer job and any influence he had over Didio/Lee/Harras.

The same goes for Marvel. Writers are more interested in using a version of a character they want rather than stick to what some previous writer established for the character. Part of that is laziness, but on the DC front, writers don't have the time to get a character (and then evolve him to a status quo they want) since most rank and file writers aren't expected to stay on a book for very long (due to a combination of factors including the current editorial regime at DC)
