Elastic Man gets a note that there's a surprise for him in the fridge and bam the whole multiverse is in there
Nah, that was spot on. This is...hilariously predictive of last night, but it also has the unfortunate side effect of giving Carol a struggle belonging to PoC. It's still not a bad issue, though.
Batman takes the mind wiping device and decides he only one fair enough to use it
Oh man, is that why Doomsday Clock is taking so long? They are trying to figure this stuff out before putting in print?
They hired someone to read through every single issue and do something similar before Crisis on Infinite Earths. Took him like 2 years or something.
I don't really understand how they plan to fit everything in a timeline given how much they've played with it and going by what people who know them better than me have said what's actually in continuity for characters like Black Canary is super confusing.
Imagine being paid to read all of New 52.
He should've taken another year, continuity was still fucked. See: Zero Hour.
That makes too much sense
Oh there's no way they can, their continuity is such a mess at this point. I hope they publish this timeline, it'll be hilarious to see how they try to smash everything in
I'm guessing that mostly came from them being wishy washy about what was rebooting post-Crisis.
Indeed. As an example Wonder Woman was getting fully rebooted which left Donna Troy as the girl without an origin.
Really pumped for the new BTAS action figure line. The idea of redesigning characters that were never on the show in Timm's style is so awesome I'm surprised they didnt do it sooner.
Since Wally's going to be running around in space, this time he'll accidentally explode and kill an entire planet.
I love the complications of DC history.
I think things like Hypertime and Convergence (the possibilities it left, not the story it's self) are really noble efforts to embrace that wildness, but in the end the thought to tighten things up always shuts em down.
Tightened continuity always breaks, though. You can't contain the history. It's too much fun for creators to explore.

You're not wrong. That fucked a lot of characters over, and to be honest DC hasn't been right ever since. Just a patchwork.
I see where you're going but to be honest I think DC fucked the Legion out of relevance by futzing about too much with their history. Now there's three different groups of Legion fans and that book will likely never attain the same popularity without a radical reboot or an amazing film and cartoon.
I want this AzBats figure so bad
I love em all. Obviously I'm getting Red Hood but Deathstroke and Azbats aramazing too. Even Armored Batman is great.
There is going to be a BTAS style Batman Who Laugh?! That is one figure of him that I will definitely keep a eye on.
The next issue of Shazam was just pushed out 10 weeks. Maybe the problem is that Johns is too busy producing movies to work on comics?
I mean they like shoehorning him in everywhere else. Just a matter of time.
Bendis ain't got the juice like that no more. This ain't Avengers: Disassembled.
Yeah this is absurd. If you can't keep up then pick one. Shazam is great but DC being off schedule...man. Can you imagine if at one point Hickman was going to write Legion but passed because they were too busy waiting on DC to finish up??
I'd have a strong desire to throttle Johns, Didio, and Lee if that is indeed how it happened. Johns needs to decide if he wants to do film/TV or comics because it's clear that he can't do both.
Nice! that's such a good deal. I know tim1138 grabbed them too, looking forward to hear what others think of them
Hickman on X-Men or Legion was the talk for a long while. In fact, for certain at one point Hickman was teasing working at DC and "ruining their universe".
And I agree. I thought Johns was becoming too flighty a decade ago, trying to balance multiple comics at once. It's clear now it's a bigger problem than ever.
I bet he's working more on Three Jokers to tie into the film, too.
