So, in 2011, Flashpoint happened, the DC Universe was rebooted, and I stopped reading new comics. Literally haven't read one in over ten years. It's not that I think this was a bad idea, in fact, I think it was a good one. I mean, how many times can Batman put the Joker in prison before we just call quits on this continuity? So I thought it was a good idea to end that continuity and start a new one. I'm just not interested in the new one. I prefer to spend my comic-reading time being a historian on the 70-year history of what came before.

But then this Rebirth happened. So...Obviously, I've avoided this for some time, but it's time for me to finally ask the question. Did it put the old continuity back, or start another new continuity, or what?

I feel like the answer's going to be more complicated than that, so...here we go.
