People think Crisis was a mess back in '86 because obviously they didn't know what would come after. Anyone who thinks this is even remotely comparable to what we had before Flashpoint is nuts.

Honestly they should just start writing the characters as if they were their Pre-Flashpoint versions and be done with it. It's the only way to fix this mess that will satisfy most people. Not even writers want to deal with New 52. It was a complete failure.
