Wait, what? Rebirth is a reboot of a reboot?

I wasn't aware that Rebirth was a reboot. Seems like they change the characters origins all the time. Batman, Cheetah, and now Martian Manhunter's history. Darksaint said there was no horn, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a different Cheetah/character entirely. Breezing through the issues of Wondy Woman, Rebirth Cheetah doesn't even have that many feats, if at all. Same with her appearances in Justice League.
Giving it some thought I think it would be fairer to stick to nu52 feats since Cheetah has a different origin and seems to have a new power (being able to control people by biting them). I'm in two minds because she looks exactly like the old Cheetah and her powerset seems to be pretty much the same. I guess it depends though cos nu52 Jay Garrick is defintely different. Jay is younger and his powers come from a magical source. Eventhough he's got the same powers theres enough difference for us to think that his old feats don't count. I don't think that's the case with a lot of characters in the Green Lanternverse, they seem to be almost all the same as their old counterparts.

We just don't have the ruling on the matter yet.Superman appears to be the only sacred cow whose history remains intact, especially after he fused with NuSuper.... so every feat counts for him.
Yeah, as it stands Superman is the only one for whom everything past COIE is explicitly valid (not to mention a few things from before it).
Batman and the GLs are also murky enough that I'm not going to ever argue about anyone using past feats (though GL only extends back as far as GL Rebirth, not COIE).

Not officially, but I'd imagine most of us are expecting Rebirth to end up bringing back the post-crisis universe as the main one.

I hope so I would like to see the old JSA again. If DC do this I suspect Marvel will do this as well, I hope. Marvel didn't need to reboot anyway everything was just fine.

Well, yeah.As it happened after New 52 and Convergence.
I thought reboots were supposed to happen over long periods of time ie decades or at least 10 years? It seems bad to do it so soon.

It would at the very least make things easier. Making JUST Superman be the one who remembers would be a mistake and only get more complicated as time passes.

That's sure not what it looks like.Telling new origins just to go back to pre-flashpoint status quo? Yeah, right.
It isn't sustainable to have Superman be the way he is AND to continue to make all these changes. Something's going to have to give eventually. My best is on the post-crisis stuff largely coming back, or at least something along those lines.
