Flash #24

[zabilac]

Flash stops Reverse Flash from messing up the timeline and gives him a big speech about "moving forward". Now, I'm a big Flash fan, but I think of this as a bit hypocritical coming from Barry considering he retconned the universe TWICE.

To which I would respond "I might if you stop including reminders that this IS a reboot in the actual comics."

What else has their been, outside of this?

[freezer]

The whole of Superman/Batman so far?, for one.

[darkknightjrk]

Okay, forgot about that one for a second--E2!Superman's message to Clark at the end especially felt like the Superman and Batman of the old continuity passing the torch to the new.

Do we have any scans of that around? I'm curious about this.

Excellent, thanks! =)

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Oh, wait, I did see this... so those were the pre-Nu52 guys? Weird.

[donnblake]

Those were the Earth Two guys, who I think were more in common with the Pre-Crisis guys? Although I'm not sure.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Now I'm just confused...

[sadoeuphemist]

They are from Earth Two, but due to their statuses and roles in the story, can be read as symbolizing the older pre-reboot versions of the characters.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Ah, so Earth 2 is no longer Golden Age versions, then?

[sadoeuphemist]

There have been a bunch of scans from the Earth Two title posted around here. Basically, those scans I linked earlier are set in the past. Afterwards, Darkseid invaded; Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman died in the war; Alan Scott and Jay Garrick and so on are the new heroes of Earth; &so on.

How is this any more of a reminder than the dozens of other "misguided guy tries to change history" stories that crop up all the time in sci-fi? It's a pretty common plot type.

Because in this case, it's coming from the character that caused the reboot in the first place.
