So DC characters can use feats from one, unknotted timeline? That's going to be fun.

basically everything happened, everything is canon

lol superman with pre-crisis feats incoming...

on another note why is supes heat vision purple?

The Bat-Manhattan Who Laughs proves Perpetua is more powerful then Doctor Manhattan, considering BMWL would dethrone Perpetua if he was able to, and still lets her boss him around.

if dark multiverse manhattan=watchmen manhattan, you'd have a point

Plus BWL is also upgraded with energy he stole from Wally.

Ah Lawd Doc Samson might be the new Sasquatch. That’s disappointing if true

The next Sasquatch should be Johny Storm, that would be a fun thing to read

I miss you dearly, frechman

So is Superboy Prime out of character? Or was he out of character since Final Crisis, and has been restored?

He was never a deranged Carver9 in his original Pre Crisis days.

Hopefully it'd make him interesting again. He was awesome when he died

You mean when Johnny "died" against the Annihilation Wave?

Would've been better if he hadn't been brought back in the same year.

EVERYTHING MATTERS. Lobo's blood clone ability is there. Superman teams up with SBP, Cyborg Supes and Bizarro.

And Penguin has a sharp rock.

Looks like they're using the history from Hawkman (so Mungi will be pleased; they've found a way to make Hawkman relevant, AND actually use his convoluted backstory as a plus) together with Lobo's Death Metal, tied together with the lasso of truth.

And Penguin has a very sharp rock.

I was confused. How did Batman maintain his own consciousness?Werent black lanterns essentially corpses which were controlled by black rings like puppets?

It's Batman.

lol classic Snyder doing the right thing the wrong way.

What a mess... this entire event

To be fair Johns did it first with Hal. And he invented the things.

Which is to say, Johns totally retconned his own work.

Black Lanterns were established as either corpses, or in the case of Spectre a construct copy. Johns undid all of that when he thought it would be cool for Black Lantern Hal to summon Nekron on Volthoom.

Johns Hal could take off his face like a mask and reveal Batman's cowl, the way he was written.

Which part?

Oh that. I was speaking more about the continuity thing.
