And it looks like we’re still getting that at least for better or worse.
    I don't care for hard dates because it won't be possible but I sill want a timeline.

    You know I was personally fine not seeing the New 52 teen titans ever again. But I'll be serious for a bit, I am interested with what I am seeing here. Some thoughts

    -Nice to see the Wildstorm universe as I have some fond memories of some of the characters and teams involved with that imprint, not Jim Lee's 90's versions but still.
    -I like the acknowledgment of crises and zero hour, which is generally why I like this idea.
    -I 'm assuming the JSA and Legion moment is him seeing the aftermath of doomsday clock

    The Infected: Deathbringer already established that she remembers all of her origin stories. Her true one would probably now be her original one.

    spoilers:
    I'm interested in the implications for some other characters. Does this mean two Kon-Els are running around? And if so, why didn't Clark mistake pre-Flashpoint Conner (the one currently in Young Justice) for his New 52 counterpart in Action Comics this week? It appeared that New 52 Kon had been erased (in Superman Reborn, as that's where we first learned that Clark doesn't remember Conner), but now that's no longer the case.

    I guess when Impulse goes home he'll find his loved ones waiting for him now? In Flash Annual #2, he found that nobody was home - probably because both Jay Garrick and Max Mercury were still lost at the time. Apparently now they're not.

    It looks like DC is embracing how much of a mess their continuity is .

    Well they've been using it as an excuse to do whatever they want since 2016, so why not? Four years of them hand waving inconsistencies and changes with nothing more than "Dr. Manhattan stole forty years. He stole 40 years. That's four decades. And that's terrible."

    What else can they do at this point? It's not like they can pretend it never happened now. Continuity is too much of a mess and the fanbase is too divided. Who knows? Ten years from now we may get someone in charge who grew up on the DCAU and decides that's the new continuity and undoes everything else.

    Well...avoiding hard dates might be the best way to ignore the whole "is it 2020 or is it 1998 right now?" debate that Didio's timeline inspired.

    But it does beg the question. Will Diana and the JSA continue to be anchored in the WW2 era? In which case, how does that affect Bruce and Clark? Are they still on a sliding timescale (albeit, having started their career something like "40 years ago" rather than "15 years ago"?) Lucius and Alfred are apparently around during the G1 era...so how does that still work if Bruce's timeline is shifted further ahead?

    The gap between G1 and G2 is really the only major problem they need to fix. That apart, everything falls into place fairly smoothly. If you want to age Bruce up to his 60's, all you need to do is say that Bruce started his career around 40 years ago (maybe show some vague 80's inspired art in the flashbacks - should be easy enough since Year One was actually written that decade), as did the other JL founders, and stretch out the rest of the timeline a bit.

    So basically this is just Zero Hour again?

    Wally goes crazy, kills people, gets god-like powers and tries to re-set history to fix it, thus changing continuity. It's just Hal/Parallax again. Only Wally isn't being portrayed as a villain (yet).

    I think Wally just named the next Crisis, No Hour.
    The Gypsies had no home. The Doors had no bass.

    Does our reality determine our fiction or does our fiction determine our reality?

    Whenever the question comes up about who some mysterious person is or who is behind something the answer will always be Frank Stallone.

    Scott Lobdell specifically said it's NOT like Zero Hour and Wally isn't evil. We already have our villains for this story.

    Matter of perspective. Hal could have been viewed as a hero in Zero Hour as what he was doing was justified in a way. Not that it matters at this point anyway as his being a murderer was shrugged off later as "Evil Space Bug."

    I just feel like very few readers would agree that Hal was written as a hero there.
