Johns wants Three Jokers to be in continuity. Didn't he just set up some other crap with the Joker's son, who he introduced in Three Jokers, being the next Robin while writing the Helena Wayne/JSA stuff now? Same as his Watchmen stuff. He wants all that to be in continuity too.
I mean retcons, soft reboots and hard reboots are super super common and dont indicate to much in and of themselves as far as dc comics past behavior.
But im not really saying anyone here is wrong or your wrong for hating it. I just personally don't have big issue with it.
1. Im a barry fan
2. Wally was lost in the time stream and effective was loopy and powers were glitchy. So him killing people and dying was fine for me. It all made sense.
3. Wally was always always gonna get redeemed in my mind and Flash Forward did that... i think... right? Its been a while since I read it.
4. Big long redemption stories are my thing. Hal becoming parallax and his long journey to redemption over decades is right up my alley. So im just interested in different story telling.
The review aggregate only proves my point. Basically a 7 from critics which is perfect great rating. 70% isnt bad. And 60% nearly from fans is still average. So its at least an average comic book. Ie not hated by any large group. Just average.
I think by its nature forums and facebook etc ... any place were fans discuss, its not uncommon for people to focus on discussing things they hate over what they like. Ie look at how much attention dark crisis young justice got. Its hated here and got way way way more talk time then a lot of great books that came out.
While its not a grand total of sales comixology has weekly top ten and dark crisis main event has always always beem top 5 or top 10. So we got some indication its doing well... its also generally received well by critics and fans https://comicbookroundup.com/comic-b...nt/dark-crisis
As for all the other comments I read them and lots of good points. If I can find more time I'll respond more.
Happy reading everyone! Peace.
I'm going to have to go back and re-read these issues, but I gotta say this 'event' has been pretty damn forgettable.
Williamson's Flash was pretty solid and I had high hopes for this but I am really underwhelmed so far.

I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
Retcons are not common right after the release of a high profile book by a high profile author, it's also not common that the writer of said book goes on record saying he would do it differently if he had a chance.
The first issues were rated highly cause it looked beatiful and we still didn't know really what this shit was about. If you look at the scores by releases, you will see that by the end of the series most people hated. Unless you think 5.8 and 4.4 are good scores for the finale of your book.
About Dark Crisis, i have nothing against it, i just don't care. I was really into it before started, but at this point i'm just want it to end. And that actually says a lot when you use most of my favorite characters in a Crisis and i still find it underwhelming.
There are better things waiting in 2023.
DC: Dick Grayson, Wally West, Donna Troy, Yara Flor, Titans
