Nobody knows. She'll supposedly appear in all of the #1 issues. Like where is Waldo!? 😄

Harbinger maybe?

I was impressed with the end of Flashpoint.

JLA #1 was good.

No clue. Seemed kinda deus ex, if that makes sense, seeing as how the whole event was about Barry, but the shift in the timeline apparently isn't. Thawne being the source of the shift (or Barry, like it seemed like it was going to be) would've worked just as well.

Bruce's note at the end was a legitimately cool touch.

Hey, guys. I'm confused on something.

Does this mean Earth 50 doesn't exist anymore? So, is every Wildstorm character merged with the DCU?

Not every character. There's lots that didn't make the move.

But yeah, it's likely it doesn't exist, or possibly never existed in the current timeline. They'll probably sprinkle in WS characters in the coming years that aren't in a launch title, so others will likely pop up.

WS books weren't selling, the whole line went belly-up on its own about a year ago. I doubt they'll come back as a separate universe ever again.

Heh, I like this idea.

Here is her 'appearance' from JL #1:

Whoever she is, she's got a good deal of power.

Not only has she been aware of the existence of the multiple timelines for quite a while, but, with Barry's 'help', she was able to merge said timelines.

Great catch, Galan. 👆

I saw Warblade there and I got real excited. 😛 Hopefully he pops up in Grifter.

Intresting. I was wondering why someone was wearing a hood at the game.

Here is another cameo of her. From HAwk and Dove.

That one is TOO noticeable. srsly

Anyone else think there might be some correlation between the strange woman at the end of Flashpoint #5, and the strange woman at the end of Booster Gold #47 who was writing Flashpoint-related 'prophecies' on Rip's chalkboard..?

It'd make sense..

Maybe, but I somewhat doubt it. The way I see it, the woman appearing in Flashpoint is some sort of Time Trapper 'Prime', while the one from Booster is just that chick who sacrificed herself for Booster earlier.

Anything is possible, but Alexandra didn't make an appearance until well after Flashpoint began (Booster Gold #45)- whereas the strange woman wrote those very specific Flashpoint-related prophecies on Rip's board before that series ever kicked off (back in the Vanishing Point mini.)

And another from Voodoo.

She just might be a new character entirely.

Looks like canary

Over at Multiversity they pointed out something which I thought was kinda interesting.

The fact is, Barry has essentially done something incredibly similar to what Hal did during Zero Hour etc, and yet has had nowhere near as much negative backlash or been as villified as Hal was for his actions.

I mean, once again, you have a hero trying to prevent a personal loss, and in doing so, screwing over the entire universe. I mean yes, Barry isn't going insane and murdering people like Hal did, but he still successfully changed the entire universe for a stupid, pointless and selfish endeavour...

I just thought it was a pretty interesting point...

Yeah, that is interesting. Especially considering how Batman was very understanding about it, and conversely, he blasted Hal Jordan for his actions as Parallax, even after finding out about the fact that it wasn't entirely his fault and really the result of a fear demon bug.
