Is everything in continuity now? SPOILERS FOR HEROES IN CRISIS

[Armageddon]

So after the scene with Lagoon Boy rememing the Titan massacre with Power Boy and other characters
Is everything back?
Or is some stuff just slipping through?

Did Cyborg used to be a Titan?

Or did s Cyborg used to be a titan, and not Nu52 Cyborg?

The current approach to continuity is "if it serves the plot, or has enough goodwill with the fandom, it happened." They're playing continuity a bit more fast and loose, which is probably for the best.

Pretty much what this guy said, you're better off just going with the flow. Don't rack your brain

It's basically DC saying why should you care, they don't.

[Zero Hunter]

I chalk it up to just bad writing. I really hate that approach since it is what Marvel has been doing for a long time now and it just makes a mess. It is not hard to do a little research on characters with the internet so any writer that doesn't is just lazy.

Agreed. I think it shows that the writers just don’t think it’s worth putting any effort into their stories. Continuity apparently just makes their jobs too hard.

I think that an approach to fiction writing (especially science fiction-related and fantasy-related writing) which is based on the philosophy of "don't think about it too much"...

Well, I'll just say that that rarely produces to kind of stories, and the kind of characters, and the kind of narrative setting ("shared universe" or whatever you want to call it) that I like the best.

I've been reading science fiction, fantasy, and comics for many years, and I especially enjoy stories - when they purport to be interconnected in a variety of ways - that are good on their own, but also repay attentive, thoughtful reading on a long-term basis.

And every time DC gives itself a chance to clean up their mess and do some solid world-building, I come back to see how they'll handle it this time. And they almost invariably create a new mess, starting in a mater of months.

This may mean I should stop coming back to DC comics. But old habits are hard to break.

[Flash Gordon]

Heroes in Crisis is a nightmare.

[Buried Alien]

Heroes in Crisis is a nightmare.

Maybe literally. Imagine if it ends with Wally West bolting awake in the middle of the night, sweating, and then wiping his brow and concluding, "Thank goodness it was only a nightmare!"

Brilliant.

Honestly, that would be more than welcome compared to whatever misery is assuredly forthcoming.

I maintain DCs 3 biggest issues regarding continuity is The Jsa, the Legion and Batman sidekicks.

And then he picks up the robe and the mask and goes to have breakfast in the common room?

As many things in Rebirth, you can say that somewhat similar to the Titan massacre in Pre-Flashpoint continuity happened in the past of the current continuity, but it isn't equal.

So, it's pretty unlikely that Cyborg was a Titan in this version of Titans massacre.


PS: It also doesn't help that King like to reference Pre-Flashpoint continuity, but he doesn't work on include this in the new continuity.

[Factor]

DC continuity is a mess and it's only gotten worse since the new 52 (ironic, since it seemed like an attempt to clean things up). Not even the editors know what counts and what doesn't anymore, so the best we can do is just not think too much about it.
