So how is it this "flaw" appeared in the Monitor Mind?

Could it be that flaw be.. Superman?

Punching a little space within Overmonitor?

Though if published material contradicts something on SW.com, then that's what we go by. Published material always takes absolute precedence.

The 'flaw' was the concept of story/narrative within the mainstream DCU.

Yes.

Sure, but if this overmonitor is so powerful, yet couldn't stop itself from getting this flaw...

Perhaps something about this flaw is more powerful then the Overmonitor.

I don't know if Monitor-Mind's intent was to destroy the flaw. It did want to examine the flaw, however, which is why it created the first Monitor probe(ie. Dax Novu) to study the multiverse.

I'm not saying it wanted to destroy it.

Just asking how it even came to be in the first place? Was the flaw put there by another intelligence?

The Presence, perhaps?

Most likely.

Monitor-Mind and the Presence/Source seem to be different entities.

Dunno.

The original intent is that Monitor-Mind was a fully meatfictional sentience that was meant to embody the paper/canvas that comic books are printed on. It did not create the stories that were shaped within itself(that's why it viewed said stories as a 'flaw' that had to be examined.)

Im just not impressed with power. I care more about the story... and all the metafictional, Superman is the savior, be all end all is why the franchise suffers. Be it DDClock or Owaw, WF punch ...it detracts from his mythos. It's ok to lose...everybody loses, i dont need the narrative to state that supes will alway save the day, or he's the multiverses antibody. i mean wheres the struggle?

I have no problem with you bringing up DClock or WF, but OWAW? Ima disagree with you on that one. Respectfully. That whole arc is about not just how Superman is in his own way a lot of the time, but also that he can't save everyone.

He loses during that arc more than once. He has the big "pushing Warworld" feat at the end, sure, but that's more a "this is a job for Superman" moment than anything imo.

Is current Superman's metafictional power(Embodiment of hope,ultimate antibody) idiotic?
But, isn't it only conclusion confirmed by many writers since at least 90's? He has been lynchpin of everrythiing in DC since 20th century.
And, if Superman's metafictional power is idiotic, Isn't it applied into other main Superheroes like Flash or Green Lantern or Wonder Woman?

It's about execution. The only person that's done it right, imo, is Grant Morrison in Superman Beyond.

Doomsday Clock is okay though.

So where do I need to look for Reeds path into a villian?

Is there any of that in the extensive Ultimate Fantastic Four series? Or does it play out across all those Ultimate events in bits and pieces (If it does, I may skip, most late era Ultimate events are a slog)

Yeah. Superman lost Kansas, he lost General Lane, he lost Hippolyta, he nearly lost WW, he lost Aquaman, his dog had the snot beaten out of him, he nearly lost Young Justice, he lost Strange Visitor, he lost Steel (who then got resurrected through no help from Supes, who actually failed in changing the Black Racer's mind), he lost Maxima, they lost Paradise Island.....OWAW is just a list of losses.

Michael Keaton is in talks to play flashpoint Batman.

The thing that interests me is that they're saying that he won't be Thomas Wayne, but instead the Batman 89 Batman, just older. I'm surprised Miller hasn't been fired for what he did, but if WB/DC is going to fully embrace the multiverse? I'm on board with that.

He started becoming evil in Ultimate Enemy, but that was poorly executed. He then transitioned into The Maker during Hickman's run on Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates #1-12. Really good story.

I hope that’s the case because Jeffrey Dean Morgan would have been perfect casting for Flashpoint Batman.
Though I would much prefer an older 89 Bruce filling the Batman beyond role.
Kinda sick of Thomas Wayne now thanks to tom king.

Wow I was under the impression he had been fired already.
