Ok--so I stopped reading comics when New 52 hit. I just didn't like the direction they went and the decisions DC made, notably about Superman.
But I have started to track things again, at least on certain websites.
Maybe people here can answer some questions.
I know there was a major event called Convergence. I know that it was established that all realities still exist, and at the end, SPOILER...
they seemed to have undone the events of Crisis. So my first question is--is that accurate?
Does the original multiverse still exist?
I know that they had a new multiverse, which made no sense. There was an Earth 2, which was not the original multiverse Earth 2. And if that's the case, how do you tell that Earth 2 apart from the original multiverse Earth 2?
I ask that because Kal-L, the original Superman that we followed from Action #1, was the Superman of that Earth 2, and DC went to great lengths to spare his life when the original Crisis ended. And THEN, they killed him off in a horrible way in Infinite Crisis (which is a huge reason I stopped reading).
Then there was this other Earth 2, from New 52, which had a different version of Kal-L, who also either died or disappeared, and that is not the same Kal-L from Action 1. We also know this because that other Earth 2 had a different Powergirl, compared to the original Powergirl from the original Earth 2.
Given the events of Convergence, where I read that in the end, a few heroes went off to prevent the original COIE, is the original Earth 2 back? And by preventing the original COIE, doesn't that mean that the original Earth 2 exists and Kal-L never dies at the hands of Superboy Prime?
Is there any proof of this?
Next topic....
And also, would that also negate the story Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? And if that is true, then wouldn't Earth 1 Superman, from the original Earth 1, still be around, as would be the original Supergirl, who never would have died?
Next topic...
If the original COIE is prevented, then Earth 1 wouldn't have reformed into post-Crisis Earth. That means that Post-Crisis Superman, the one that dies in 1993, shouldn't exist.
But let's assume that with a little recon, that post-Crisis Earth is now separate from original Earth 1, and all those adventures and years are valid.
Post-Crisis Earth and Pre Flashpoint Earth are the same Earth, right?
Let's go with that.
Am I right to say that Convergence shows that Post-Flashpoint Earth and Pre Flashpoint Earth are different?
If they are different then how could post-Flashpoint Barry ever remember Original Wally?
If they are the same, then how could pre-Flashpoint Superman and post-Flashpoint Superman exist as separate people?
Next topic---
So pre-Flashpoint Superman, after Convergence, along with his Lois and son, end up on post-Flashpoint Earth.
Do we know why?
If he knows he's from another Earth, why didn't he try to get his family back to their proper reality? Their Earth currently does not have a Superman.
If Convergence shows that all realities we know still exist, then pre-Flashpoint Earth is out there, separate from everything, and this version of Superman belongs there.
I guess that's a good start.
), and I officially dropped the book after trying to muddle through issue one of I Am Bane. I may have hated snyder's Batman run, but at least he was generally coherent in his writing, even if it was generally stupid.
