So what's the best approach when reading DC after the ten thousand reboots? Assume the broad strokes over 80 years are canon or assume nothing from before the most recent reboot really counts?
>>
>>91668452
>ten thousand reboots
Literally two reboots.
>>
>>91668452
Choose character
Skim their publication history on a db site of choice
Pick out writer/artist names you enjoyed the most previously
Read
Enjoy
Repeat
>>
>>91668477
Crisis, Crisis, and Nu52... so with Rebirth, isn't that three and a half?
>>
Assume it all happened until being told different. Assume done of it happened until it's referenced.
>>
>>91668496
Rebirth isn't a reboot.
>>
>>91668477
>Literally two reboots.
In reality every writer change rebooted the character being worked on, Anon.
>>
>>91668496
>Crisis, Crisis
Just the first Crisis is a reboot.

>Rebirth
Rebirth is a reboot in the same way that "Marvel Now" and "All-New Marvel Now" are reboots.
>>
>>91668496

Silver Age Flash of Two Worlds etc - established the silver age reboot

Crisis on Infinite Earths - Full reboot sorta

Zero Hour Crisis in Time- Semi Reboot


Infinite Crisis- Semi Reboot

Flashpoint/New 52- full reboot sorta


DC Rebirth - Semi Reboot


ForeverOmegaSexy Crisis-???/


So DC kinda had 6 shitty reboots.
>>
>>91668452
Think of it like back to the future. At the end do you think the movie retcons the poor childhood of Marty and it never happen? No, it was all still part of the Back to the Future story. DC reboots work the same way.
>>
>>91668621
Using that metric, you have to count Heroes Reborn, Age of Ultron and One More Day and Secret Wars as reboots, too.
>>
>>91668621
Name one thing Zero Hour rebooted or retconned.
>>
>>91668653
Heroes Reborn and Age of Ultron didn't actually change continuity.
One More Day only did one change: no marriage, everything else happened exactly the same way.
Secret Wars didn't reboot anything either, the only change to continuity done was Miles Morales being inserted into 616 (or Prime Earth as Brevoort insists on calling it).
>>
>>91668642
It always bothered me how now Marty's family members might as well be strangers to him. He may recall his childhood memories, but as far as everyone else is concerned they never happened. When his family starts reminicing about all those vacations and fun times they had, Marty will have no idea what they're talking about since he didn't experience them.
>>
>>91668452
Continuity basically doesn't exist in American comics.
>>
>>91668709
The same applies to Flash of Two Worlds, Infinite Crisis, Zero Hour and Rebirth.
>>
>>91668692
Off the top of my head
>Batman never caught Joe Chill
>Batman is totally an urban legend guys
>Holly Robinson never died
>The Legion of Superheroes was completely rebooted
>Hawkman, just Hawkman
>>
>>91668477
CoIE
Zero Hour
Infinite Crisis
Final Crisis
New 52
Rebirth

This isn't even counting Flash of Two Worlds or the "soft reboot" around 1968 where DC kind of just stopped the Silver Age camp with no warning or explanation and suddenly everything was more serious and none of those campy characters really appeared after that unless it was as a joke.
>>
>>91668775
Proud of you. Most people don't know anything actually about the event.
>>
>>91668692
EVERYTHING that took place in the future was COMPLETELY rebooted.

Zero Hour was a "timeline reboot".

Infinite Crisis didn't change anyone's continuity.
Final Crisis didn't change anyone's continuity
Rebirth didn't change anyone's continuity.

Which criteria are you using?
>>
>>91668853
Rebirth changed so much of New 52 (practically everything) and both IC and FC affected the nature of the multiverse (though FC was basically completely ignored).
>>
>>91668910
>both IC and FC affected the nature of the multiverse
How the hell is that a reboot?
>>
>>91668910
>Rebirth changed so much of New 52 (practically everything)
Changed what? Just Wonder Woman, and that was a Rucka thing, not a Rebirth one.

>both IC and FC affected the nature of the multiverse
Just like Secret Wars?
But somehow, IC is totally a reboot, while Secret Wars isn't because... reasons.
>>
>>91668853
>Infinite Crisis didn't change anyone's continuity.
That's a lie and you know it
>>
>>91668621
You don't understand the difference between a reboot and a retcon.
>>
>>91668853
FC changed Milestone continuity. IC and Rebirth changed many things
>>
>>91668621
Amalgan event

You didn't mention the Amalgan event, faggot.
>>
>>91669318
Anon, under the same criteria ("it changed some universe and many things"), half of Marvel events are also reboots.
