Hal Jordan Vs Etrigan the Demon

They're not pre-Flashpoint, their histories and past events just didn't change as a result of Flashpoint. Same is (mostly) true of the Batman titles.

The events that take place in GL, GLC, and GLNG are all in the "present" time in the DCnU, whereas the first Justice League issues for example took place 5 years prior to the present.

Hal wins.

I'm not talking about timelines. I'm talking about plotlines not lining up. This is why they retconned Guy's story. Look at GLC 000

It's pretty much a mess. Company wide retcons are almost always riddled with plot holes.

Why couldn't DC just put out their own Ultimates Line like Marvel, if they wanted something new for fans to start out with?

Tbh, events like Blackest Night, Sinestro Corps War, etc. should be drastically different due to the nature of the reboot. I do feel the general "spirit" of Johns' GL is unchanged, but I mean, take for example Superman.

The guy got drastically altered for the New 52, so his role in Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night should have likewise been changed a great deal. I mean, did Cyborg Superman play a role in SCW as far as the New 52 is concerned? Did Henshaw even play a role in Coast City's destruction, a pivotal role as to how Hal became Parallax to begin with (I actually asked this question at the DC Comics Panel at Chicago Comic Con, to which the reply was "no comment, but keep your eyes peeled for Henshaw's debut soon"😉?

Obviously, those are just a few things that have been altered or at the very least, changed due to the nature of the reboot. I don't think Hal's power level is any different, but the specifics behind those events are naturally pretty different because of Flashpoint.

I can see this going either way. It comes down to how soon Etrigan would employ his magic. He is as powerful in the art as Merlin but doesn't like to use it. if he acts in Character Hal takes it after a giod fight. If he sees the writing on the wall he beats Hal with spells.
