Johns, you crazy maniac!

But Martha wasn't killed by Joe Chill.

>>89975488
I thought Martha was joker in flashpoint

>>89975488
A different version of Bat Tom?

>>89976503
Fuck I hope this mean Pre-FP Thawne is coming back.

>>89976658

No it's very good because with this, Multiplicity and the JSA fighting Lord Havoc it points to DC's Manhattan event being a multiverse spanner.

I'm pretty hyped

>>89976773
Seems that way, he's probably also responsible for the button.

>>89975677
wait the other two parts already came out?

>>89976503
Holy hell

>>89976750
Why does everyone always go full "those fuckers, our shit" whenever they get the chance?

Might as well call it the Johns event, what a fucking attention whore

I havent been keeping up with Rebirth, I just read DC Universe Rebirth when it released. Is this a direct continuation of that story? Is there anything else I need to read from Rebirth for it?

>>89976882

To be fair even though he can only execute them half the time Johns has some pretty cool ideas

>>89976904

Titans and Superman is all that's really tied into it so far from what I can tell. Saturn Girl was in a panel of Batman though. She's in a cell at Arkham

>>89976773
he's on the cover of flash 21

>>89975488
so the good batdad, and thawne are back. wonder if Thomas will finally get to meet his son because it was serious bullshit that the shitty earth-2 thomas met pre-fp bruce instead of this one.
also I hope original thawne kills diamond thawne

Seems likely Thomas will meet Bruce. Bruce still has his letter after all

Why isn't Earth-4 Captain Atom aware of what's happening? Doesn't he have just as much power as Dr. Manhattan? Does he just not give a shit?

>>89977136
good because it was bullshit that this thomas who wasn't a complete piece of shit never got to meet his son while the one who abandoned him did. Sure he helped clark deliver jon, but he didnt get to meet his own son


hey how is thawne alive, like he was alive during convergence somehow even though the dome was put up after he was dead

>>89975488
Oh cool, but didn't Martha survive in Flashpoint? Guess it's a different Thomas Wayne Batman?

>>89977105
It's not the same Thomas though. Martha survived in FP and FP Thomas died in some event, as far as I can remember.

IT WAS ME, BARRY!

IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!

>>89976503
Nice

>>89977143

who says he isn't?

>>89977192
no that was the other batdad who killed himself during convergence to take out all the pre-fp bat villains

>>89977192

The Flashpoint universe survived. It was in the Guidebook and it was in that horrible Convergence event.

>>89977143

>Does he just not give a shit?

Probably this

>>89977192

You're reading to much into the cover for that Martha and that Batdad was Earth 2 Batdad

>>89977302
But...but I remember him talking about the letter before dying. I don't know, that even was so godawful that I might be remembering wrong.

>>89977304
what universe was fp in the guidebook?

>>89977383
Yeah in FP he died, and so did Thawne, but they were both back in Convergence

well fuck this looks interesting, I haven't been keeping up with Rebirth out of sheer laziness, if I wanted to get up to speed should I read all of the current Batman/Flash run or do I need to read more?

just read the the crossover nothing has been done besides some teases in flash that he remembers dying in coie

>>89975488
I think people are placing too much stock in the cover. More likely than not the artist just didn't know Martha lived.

>>89977453
I really want to see this in person.

>>89977400
Batman and Flash haven't really dealt with it yet. The only stuff really important to the Rebirth storyline is the Rebirth one shot, the upcoming Superman/Action Comics crossover, and this. Maybe the first arc of Detective and the Flash: Rebirth one shot if you want absolutely that connects to it.

>>89977470
>More likely than not the artist just didn't know Martha lived.
DC actually has editors though.

>>89977491
Not for cover accuracy.

>>89977491
>>89977505
Could also be they are trying to distance themselves from all the ravenous casuals that insist Batman and Joker are in love.

Retconning Snyder's Joker to not being real seems in line with that.

It wasn't. I got that wrong

>>89977491
>>89977470
Didn't she kill herself when she learned Bruce became Batman in the "good" universe. like that was too much for her that her son even if he lived would never be happy?

>>89977536
This is comics barry right, because show barry fucks it up even more

>>89977525

They don't have to retcon it. Just never mention it again since she's dead now anyway

>>89975488
But...BatDad died...?

>>89977698

Earth 2 Batdad died. We saw that Flashpoint survived in Convergence

>>89977698
He was alive in Convergence Superman.

>>89977698
the other one did

That's a solicit for an issue that comes out in April.

>>89978074
Take a chill pill there Lex

>>89977181
Thawne is eternal

>>89977184
Well she did survive the initial meeting with Joe Chill but by the end of Batman's Flashpoint mini she died.

>>89976503
it was meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
