    "There's been a lot of chatter, myself included, about our timeline," DiDio said in Facebook Q&A with retailers. "The purpose is to bring in a baseline of storytelling that brings a level of consistency and more uniformity in the interpretations of the characters. We are looking to build a series of books that will re-tell the history of the DC Universe. In some ways, that will become our bible for the DC Universe."

    "One of the first places you'll see this happening is in Wonder Woman #750," DiDio continued. "The change in numbering is purposeful in the sense that [Wonder Woman #750] is the first time that we're acknowledging the timeline, and establishing [Wonder Woman] as our first superhero, in a story by Scott Snyder and Bryan Hitch. Something similar is going to be happening in The Flash."

    I think they will restore Wally's Career in the past, just in that new realtime way.

    Wonder Woman as the first? Isn't Superman the first?
    Parental care is way exhausting. Gained insight into what my parents went through when I was a baby. Not fun, but what ya gonna do? (Read comics, obviously.)

    It could be shades of Walter West where Walter had to let go of the world he'd grown to love (ours) because his presence was killing it.

    Personally, I could do without the kids. Irey I learned to dislike on practically page one and Jai they were steering towards rotten realms.

    If they learned anything, they should. But I remain cautious.
    ConnEr Kent flies. ConnOr Hawke has a bow. Batman's kid is named DamiAn.

    To do spoiler tags, use [ spoil ] at the start of the sentence and [ /spoil ] at the end, without the spaces. You're welcome!

    The bowtie on Wally is kind of weird....unless now instead of being a Classic Star Trek fan its been time-forwarded to being a New Doctor Who fan (11th- "Bow ties are cool.")

    Wait....is Furrynuts bowing down to Professor X's chair? Is the Chair like his CEO?

    Chunk! I love the little bits of Messner-Loeb years. And Waid with Max and Impulse.
    (Don't love the reminder of the DiscoWing costume.)

    Read the dialogue and my mind inserted a line during Furrynut's monologue about Mr. D coming along to disasterous effect and his reacting with "Yes...wait...what?" hehehe

    Anyway, so far so good on my getting any trade of this after all is said and done if only because I still love Wally and so far he isn't horrible save for the ribbon hair and onion eyes. I can live with the art.
    Will probably do like I've done with a handful of previous trades and insert a blank page to cover sections that I Don't Care To Ever See Again! also known as the HIC reference bits.

    Actually they already retconned Wally's age and looks for the new timeline in Year One, he is supposed to be more modern.

    I suppose Booth didn't care about it.

    Word is that Wondy's getting retconned to starting in World War One, like in the movies. Superman wouldn't come along until the 1950s (his time as Superboy is back in canon).

    Doomsday Clock's ending showed them though. Jai becomes the Turtle and Irey becomes Kid Flash (which makes you wonder what happened to Wallace! The only other Flash family members shown were Jay, Barry and Wally).

    Hold on, because Dan Didio has something to say about it :

    There's no reason why the Wally's kids come back part wouldn't still be true. The main discrepancies are that they had to erase the version of Saturn Girl in DDC because Bendis had brought back the Legion by the time it finished, and that Alfred was shown to be alive but has now been killed off - also something not planned when DDC started. Former Teen Titan Solstice was also mentioned as being on one of the international superhero teams during DDC, but she was killed off in Heroes in Crisis. And then, of course, there's the fact Jonathan and Martha Kent are alive in DDC's ending, but will likely still be dead in 5G, simply because of Clark himself getting aged up.

    Basically, any discrepancies are King's and Bendis's faults, and it shouldn't have any affect on plans for The Flash.

    I really hope you are right. Because, according to Didio, it's too difficult to include DDC's storyline to the current DCU.
