Impossible...it can't be....does this mean what I think it means...that the Pre New 52 is out there with a Superman with actual RED TRUNKS, like he is suppose to have.

And the end of the New 52 has started...

Surely this final page is teasing Blood Moon or the rumored April 2015 Band-Aid event. Brainiac ended in the Bleed space, between universes. I think none of those worlds are pre-Flashpoint but actual Earths of the current Multiverse except, maybe, for the Flashpoint Earth.

The Vampire Batman should be from the vampire Earth-43, the Charlton heroes from Pax Americana (Earth-4), Captain Marvel from Thunderworld (Earth-5), the Freedom Fighters from The Mastermen (Earth-10), OMAC from Jack Kyrby's Earth-51, Wolfman/Pérez's Titans from the past of The Just (Earth-16), the Timmverse should be Earth-12, Lady Quark and Lord Volt should be from Earth-48 since this is one of the Earths highlighted on the cover of The Multiversity #1, , the LOSH should be from one of the other Earths and the "classic" Earth-2 should be one of the not revealed Earths. "Classic" Superman may be either from the golden Earth-1 or the orderly Earth-14 or from the past of the JL3K Earth.

I think you're spot on this is actually the second time Earth 4 appeared today(See : Booster Gold) which both times involved some background tech related character.

Backwards. Part of the premise of Multiversity is that everything was changed by Flashpoint, not just Earth-0. You're seeing the multiverse as it was Pre-Flashpoint, not as it is now.

Wasn't this also sort-of done in "Wrath of the First Lantern" where Volthoom gave people pre-Flashpoint visions of themselves?

I just wish people would realize that this is about business and money... There is no more pre-new52 there is only the new52 it would be ridiculous and would be completely shutting out any new readers who jumped on with the new52 to just say "we are reverting back to pre-new52 so all the stories that you have gotten invested in and all the characters are gonna go back to having these ridiculously long and complex histories that date back 70+ years" The new52 was perfect for DC because it allowed people to become invested in these characters from the beginning of their history. The-new52 is here to stay and pre flashpoint is gone forever get over it no matter how much we want it back its gone. All this panel shows us is that there is a big story coming up (which we all know) involving the multiverse.

And the end of the New 52 has started...

It is for rumored 2 months event next year where various versions of characters collide. Get ready to see your favorite pre-flashpoint character get murdered by some nightmare-Batman-version.

Lel well it has started already check out Booster Gold one shot, and it says it will continue where ever future and worlds end so it might be the third weekly series

Tried it and thought it was rather bad. 20 pages of teasing without actually revealing anything new...

This would satisfy the itch in my loins.

[The Odd Man]

Whether its a two month crossover event or a sign that major change is coming, I am happy either way. Didn't DC say before that the two month event would be a love letter to DC fans? This certainly qualifies!

goodness.... and this may lead to the next crisis event. and what will be the result when all the the dust settles...

everything being retconed to pre nu52? another nu52?

more likely that spectre/dharma/pandora just merge these worlds together into a new-er prime earth-01
