How the fuck do characters turn into completely different, shittier versions of themselves in ten years?
>>
>>82987852
Not to mention the fact that the pre-52 and post-52 Supermen are in the same space. How the fuck does that work if the New 52 is the pre-52?
>>
>>82987852
No JSA around to be awesome old role models
>>
>>82987852
>>82987881
Shhh, you are not supposed to quetion Johns actions.
Just shout BASED CERAL KING and go back watching The Flash and pretend you like Johns for his comics
>>
>>82987881
My theory is that the reality altered by Flashpoint is a universe with a similar history to pre-flashpoint.
>>
>>82987920

What if I like Johns for giving needy dogs loving homes?
>>
Because its not as simple as that.
Like at all

Also hes talking about Flashpoint. Barry and Wally are Johns self-inserts in Rebirth
>>
>>82987881

It's actually stated based on the IGN spoilers that New 52 Superman isn't who Clark thought he was. It'll probably turn out that New 52 Superman was a different character repurposed into the role of Post-Crisis Superman since he wasn't there when the world was rebooted. Maybe Kal-L or Conner like people were speculating in another thread.
>>
So hoe does this work exactly?

Pre-Flashpoint--->Flashpoint--->Everyone loses 10 years of their lives--->New 52--->a bunch of shit happens during the New 52 that rewrites stories from pre-Flashpoint continuity--->Rebirth--->learn that the New 52 was just the old continuity that was altered--->Everyone gets those missing 10 years back or are the just lost since New 52 stories rewrote most of them?
>>
>>82987852
Same way it happened in 52 with Mir Mind's antics.
>>
>>82988035
We knew since some previews were revealed that Jason was getting his post-crisis origin back, so some old stuff likely will return to continuity now since you've got characters who remember the real history walking around, with Clark, Lois and now Barry and Wally.

>>82988035

>>82988014
Oh. That makes sense. Cool
>>
>>82987946
Given the pace at which those dogs die once they enter the Johns household, he's probably doing something sinister with them.
>>
Best case scenaio:
Wally and Black Wally interact and have the same facial expressions
>>
>>82988014
But what about Paralax Hal and nu52 Hal and Lois Lane?
Those 3 are the only pre-52 characters that jumped to and exist along with the nu-52 counterparts.
>>
>Bruce has always been older than the rest of the League
>New52 Supes wasnt actually Supes
>Wondy is actually way older via Ruckas Year One
>Flash can speedforce away the years
>actually makes sense for Vic

So how do they explain deaging Hal?
>>
>>82988181
>Barry fucks off
>Wally becomes Flash again, gets his family back
>Black Wally gets a nickname, becomes Kid Flash
>Also Bart Allen punches Bar-Tor in the dick and becomes Impulse again
Best end.
>>
>>82988249
>>82988209
Hal actually has a cousin who's also named Hal Jordan, just say New 52 Hal was actually Air Wave the whole time

And after this, I'm still going to have the shitty Nu52 version of Cassandra Cain.

Jesus fuck dc why can't you just retcon and reboot without trying to make these butfuck retarded in universe explanations
>>
>>82988209
I hadn't thought about Lois. If the Kal-L theory ended up being right though, she could be Pre-Crisis Earth-2 Lois, who also died on the Post-Crisis Earth.
>>
>>82988035

I would actually, honestly prefer the "Nu52 was an alternate universe lol" handwave over circuituous shit like that.
>>
>>82988209
>>82988358
That's dumb. Halallax always had time travel powers, that's all you need to explain him dicking around in the future. Send him home when you're done writing bad stories where he and Hal fight, loop closed.

>Hypertime will slowly merge the two together.
I will never stop recognizing Hypertime as the true continuity.

Tell me what is difference between pre-fp Superman and nu52 Superman. Last one is more closer to Snyder's MoS or what? Also younger? That's all?
>>
>>82988702
Yeah. And not wise, old, inspirational and in love with Lois.
>>
>>82988733
And no embarrassing memories of his mullet days.
>>
>>82988702
He's not like MoS at all, really. He actually has dialogue and an optimistic outlook.

Being younger is the thing, really. They replaced him with Old Supes because they wanted the marriage and kid.
>>
>>82988702
Nu52 Superman is actually a character
Pre-fp Superman is the meme character loved by everyone, always right, never wrong, the most just around etc. that people find boring

It's from a time Geoff posted himself grocery shopping on twitter. He fuckin' loves cereal, was taking pics as he shopped, apparently the manager thought it was weird and asked him to stop, then he tried to get a discount by telling him "I write Aquaman" and it didn't fly.

New52 Superman started his career with a Golden Age-like powerset, after the Kents died. He was brasher and more impulsive, also clearly enjoyed what he does, and depending on the writer he either left that behind as he matured (mostly in John's own writing) or he still showed signs of that at times.

In the New52, he also had been once again the first known Super Hero, although very little was done with that, so it ended up being a fairly pointless addition in the end.
>>
>>82988977
>In the New52, he also had been once again the first known Super Hero, although very little was done with that, so it ended up being a fairly pointless addition in the end.

Yeah, the irony was the only reason to have Superman be "the first hero" is you're going to be everyone else's inspiration, but Nu52 Supes was more "just another one of the boys, nothin' special" than any other Superman in fuckin' history.
>>
I fucking like New 52 Supes there was nothing wrong with him.
>>
>>82989029
He didn't love Lois. Sorry, you know what masses want.

Reminds me of how Kubo writes Bleach.
>Oh you thought this thing worked that way? Fuck you Zangetsu is actually Hollow Ichigo, why are you still reading this crap.
>>
>>82989029
Eh, I never outright disliked him, as opposed to a LOT of other Nu52 portrayals of characters, but he got to be a little too much like Conner at the end there, with the haircut and the more focus on his temper.

Being an experienced elder statesman kinda fits Superman's statue in the DCU more, plus Lois pretty much sucks and serves no purpose as a character when she's not married to him.

And it doesn't explain Batman and GL retaining all their history while characters like WW and Supes have completely changed.

>>82989294
They sent out copies to retailers, some retailers blabbed/

Wondyer Womans history we know is a bunch of lies, thats what Ruckas run is about
New52 Superman isnt Superman

>>82989322
What? Explain this.
>>
Crazy idea, but what if the reason Wally is wearing the Kid Flash outfit is because the crisis was averted in Convergence? He only wore the red suit to honour Barry's memory, and if Barry never died...
>>
>>82989370
So the Superman we thought we had was just some random guy
>>
>>82989334
Rayner lost several girlfriends worth of history and all the Robins got their origins squished together and fucked up.

That was always the problem with the Nu52, none of the retcons fit together or made sense.

At least now we can point to an excuse, like "Manhattan did a sloppy job of changing history, that's WHY there are so many fuckin' plotholes"
>>
how does it tie with Final Crisis and Darkseid being dead and then alive again but weaker etc.
>>
>>82989401
What if he wore KF outfit so people could know who's who?
>>
>>82989334
Wonder Woman had a reboot kind of set up at the end of her own Pre-Flashpoint run. Morrison's run also had suggested that Superman's timeline changes were due to an evil 5th dimensional imp messing with him. Still, at least for Superman, there's the implication now that he was never there and Post-Flashpoint Superman was someone else, which is why he was different. The mysterious guy with a cloak apparently directly tells Clark that New 52 Superman isn't who he thought he was.
>>
>>82989401
Wally's wearing the Kid Flash outfit because whatever Manhattan did made everybody's history off by ten years somehow.
>>
>>82989334
>And it doesn't explain Batman retaining all their history

Because he didn't retain all his history.
>>
>>82989402
No its not a random guy, apparently its revealed in Rebirth or Superman #52
>>
>>82989404
>Rayner lost several girlfriends worth of history
Oh no, how awful for him!
>>
>>82989414
Flashpoint undid the fact that Final Crisis happened in the first place.
>>
>>82989414
Multiversity already had explained that though. John's Darkseid is just an "emanation" who thought he was the real deal, while the real one was still recovering from Final Crisis.
>>
>>82989447
Fuck you, some of us liked Jade a lot
>>
>>82989443
Based on the spoilers, Rebirth doesn't really reveal who he was, just says that he isn't who Pre-Flashpoint Clark thought he was.

I actually almost have to admire the balls. I mean, objectively looking at it, that's a fucking insane move for the company to attempt. These people are actually at the cutting edge of... something. It kind of has flair to it.

I also have to quite like how they're reversing some of their genocide of their grand old continuity. Some people actually love the gloriously old and detailed history of these characters. We just don't generate any money for the company that owns it, and are also gradually dwindling away.

The more I think about it, the more I admire what a batshit direction this is for them to take (pun intended kek)....
>>
It's been a long week and I'm struggling to understand what they've done here.
I haven't followed Nu52 since the first couple of issues. Are they just merging pre flashpoint and the current continuity?

I'd appreciate anyone taking the time to dumb it down for me
>>
>>82989664
God bless Geoff Johns.
>>
>>82989672

Basically that. They're saying that New52 is different from Pre-Flashpoint due to Manhattan messing with the timeline for some reason,and now due to some people who remember the Pre-Flashpoint timeline appearing (Pre-Flashpoint Superman and Wally) other people are starting to remember the real history, like Barry.
>>
>>82989664
>desperate move trying to undo something
>i-it's genius guys!

if Marvel did it you drones would be shitting on them no stop
>>
>>82989672
>Are they just merging pre flashpoint and the current continuity?

Sort of.

The suggestion is that the Nu52 IS the Post-Crisis DCU, but somebody (hinted to be Dr. Manhattan) used what Barry did at the end of Flashpoint to rewrite some of history, the major thing being stealing years from everybody's lives to make people younger or make "legacy" characters go away, like the JSA never came back out of retirement after the McCarthy era.
>>
>>82989724
Alright then, I'm probably going to have to read nu52 of get what's different.

Not sure how I feel about the Watchmen joining the main continuity though.

Naw, if you think about it, there's a direct parallel example:

If Marvel undid One More Day, and the end result wasn't MJ and Peter remarried but at least they remembered what happened and were dating again, that's what you'd have here.

I don't read much marvel but I know they don't make shit as convoluted as this do they just say ok we are retconing this or do they offer an explanation and manage to do it without going full retard.

Won't this alienate new readers? How do you explain to some kid who watched some DC cartoons maybe the Snyder movies who Superman is in comics now?

It's annoying as they spent half a decade selling Superbro to us telling us he was the Pre52 Superman just with a new history/memories like after the COIE. Now they're nuking him..

And the Watchmen thing is awful and makes no goddamned sense on so many levels.

I feel sorry for people who maintain DC wikipedia and wiki pages. Imagine how much of a clusterfuck trying to write a characters history will be now even more so.
>>
>>82990039
It's time to stop pretending new readers are numerous enough to affect sales. Bringing back the people the Nu52 chased off, if it chases off the younger folk Nu52 attracted, is still an overall gain.
>>
>>82989759
Ah, Marvel wouldn't try to fix what everyone is complaining, they would push it HARDER and them have one panel with a character being a strawman, and other panel with a character complaining about silly white nerds.

Lois is trash though.

>>82989974

As someone who dropped most of DC except a handful of books like Batman, Justice League, the odd Superman book, and a few issues of Midnighter; this just gives me a big fucking headache..

Also means any hope for the WildStorm characters being unraped is gone. Not that WildStorm hadn't already broken them itself.

I don't actually mind convoluted shit, if I'm sitting to down to read superhero comic books, that's the point I'm making.

Marvel makes changes by going, "it was franklin/moleculeman/magic, we don't have to explain shit" and then pretending it never happened. DC calls attention to it and builds the entire structure of their universe and their events around it.

It's not even that convoluted most of the time. From everything I've read, Rebirth actually sounds pretty straightforward as long as you have even a cursory familiarity with DC lore. Sounds like you're making it worse in your head than it is.

The only thing that makes me happy about this is that DC is finally recognizing that The New 52 was a big fucking mistake. It took away most of what made the DCU truly great and gave us an empty shell of a universe.

I am sorry I hate Batwoman.
I didn't like how they tried to push her as "better than Batman and with no ties to him, totally her own character!" at the start

They're the shitty Nu52 versions of themselves, that's what.

Batfags can actually accept change.
Superfags and Wallyfags were the one that complained no stop

>>82990824

Cass is not back. They made an entirely new, much shittier character and just called that Cass instead. It's the Wally West situation, only without a raceswap.

The problem is Barbara still has a book and isn't with them in the shitty containment book

Why do you tell lies like that, anon?

No balls.
Imagine a complete fucking reboot:

Batfags cry when Jason/Tim/Steph/Cass/Damian are all written out of continuity. They cry even more when Dick is de-aged to a 12 year old.

Suddenly Hal is the only Green Lantern again. Kyle fans would never stop whining.

Meanwhile there's tons of people who haven't read Grayson and shit all over it because he doesn't have the name Nightwing and isn't wearing blue fingerstripes

Dude, if it was a complete reboot, Batman and Superman should have been put out of continuity. Bruce Wayne never existed. Krypton doesn't exist. No Green Lanterns, no WW, no Flash, nothing, every name and IP and trademark erased forever. THAT'S balls.

Superfags has nothing to do with this. This stuff is kind OMD, something that writers want. Most of the readers were fine with Nu 52 Superman.

There is nothing "iconic" about Barbara, she's a shitty flavor-of-the-month Batman fangirl. Every issue she ever appeared in was a mistake. True fans know that only characters DC should have are Batman and Superman.

I respect your opinion, even if you're from Bizarro Earth.
>>
>>82988014
Is this confirmed or it's just some fan canon you're making up? Because that would make sense of why they're bringing Pre-Flashpoint Supes as the regular one (this was his universe all along, just that everyone has to regain their memories about it), even though I'm having a deja vu of Spider-Man clones ("the Superman you were reading for the last 5 years wasn't the real one")
>>
>>82991116
>Those people aren't readers

Well probably not anymore, that's kind of why DC's trying to walk back the reboot. Because people stopped reading.

She is called BATWOMAN, not even the original one, and the only reason she exist is because of Batman. So no, when you try to sell it to me like "nuh nuh guys, she is totally this new indipendent strong character! Uh? Batman who? Never heard of him!" bullshit I am not going to accept it

accept what? That she has her own thoughts,actions, or dependent on Batman? you're being irrational

No, I will not stop

But that's wrong faggot her whole story was her dealing with her family issues and repairing her life. Batman only showed up twice once to offer her a chance to join Batman inc before she was blackmailed to joined the D.O.D and the last time to help her take it down. Read her stories before speaking bullshit

It's a continuity cleanup like Zero Hour or Infinite Crisis where they write in old concepts and elements again.

There's a one-shot next Wednesday and then the books start rolling out in June.
