In Watchmen the newsvendor guy talks about 1940's superhero comics he read. "There was Superman, batman and flash-man. I guess with all the real-life costumed heroes they never really took off..' (not the actual quote but close enough)
I wonder if Jon Osterman read these comics as a boy?
The Classic Flash of two worlds issue that started the whole Earth 1 and 2 business mentions that Barry used to read the 1940s Jay Garrick comics as a boy. By coincidence Jay's earth 2 adventures were exactly the same as the earth 1 comics. (of course)
Funny how its Jay who shows up in The Button...
The whole Rebirth/Button/Doomsday Clock thing seems to revolve around key Dc moments : Superman, Flash of two worlds, Watchmen and the 1992 Doomsday storyline whose 25th anniversary is coming soon..
YOUR thought and opinions on this?
IF Dr M can wander into Dc Universe they could maybe have Morpheus (Sandman) have a chat with him or maybe get the Saint of Killers to shoot him!
