Booster Gold knows, too.
I've been reading Green Lantern: Secret Origin on Comixology, and I've been really happy with the set up there. You do have to sign up and pay to be able to read each issue though.
This just spun my head around:
http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Superboy-Prime
Hence why DC needs rebooted. How can anyone kept track of all that and be sane?
Plus untill today i didnt know whom Superboy Prime was. Still lost on who Conner Kent is.
Wow.

There is a Flashpoint discussion thread that I started...probably three or four pages deep in the forum. It's not been updated since the second issue came out...I think.
Jim Lee and Geoff Johns are talking about the relaunch in a bit. I think it starts after 7:30 pacific time.

I've managed to keep sane and I've been reading DC comics since the Multiple Earth days. Its pretty easy to keep track in this modern age, as your link demonstrates.
I'll save you some time, though. Conner Kent is a clone/hybrid that was created using Superman's DNA.
Later retconned to also include Lex's. 
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
And then there was Books of Magic, and obviously all those parts in Sandman which deeply samples from DCU continuity and directly references Hellblazer continuity alike. Plus all those DCU appearances of the Daniel Hall Dream and Death.
Vertigo's always had a real soft continuity thing going on. Like, on one hand, it's reasonably obvious Superman doesn't exist in Hellblazer, but it's certain that a John Constantine has been in the DCU. Sometimes I think this is the way they should do continuity in every book.
The really funny irony is that the world of Hellblazer, the horror comic, is a much less frightening place than the bright-and-shiny actual DCU, which doesn't go a year without a terrorist act with a body count in the million-plus range. Give me walking abortions, S+M vengeance killers, and America-is-Hell allegory any day over Vandal Savage, Jade Nguyen and Prometheus' underexplained ability to acquire and deploy WMDs in major metropolitan areas.

Well, that's true; every concept is basically finite at its core, but The Authority was maybe more finite than others. You run into the transhumanity problem in books like that. Like Squadron Supreme, would anyone want to read 100 issues of their dictatorship being successful? I guess, maybe, since I still want to read the last twelve or so issues Gaiman's going to finally do of Miracleman. (Although it's difficult to predict how he'll make that interesting without repeating the Kid Miracleman gran guignol all over again, except with Young Miracleman, just because YM has his own problems with the idea of anal sex.)
Oh God. I just realized that Miracleman is going to somehow wind up in the Marvel Universe, isn't he? It'll be like the Sentry, but several million times worse.
No. But that sounds awesome.

Apparently, they were set to release new details. I guess I missed something.
Also, I meant to mention that I think it's pretty great that Bruce Springsteen is getting his own comic book.
Im talking about readers like me that like me that read mostly in the 70's and early 80's and a little bit when Superman came back after being dead and new readers.
Im learning this stuff for the first time so im like wow my head is going to explode. lol
Then you should know all about the multiple Earths and multiple versions of heroes. A concept like Superboy Prime should be like going home.
Yes it can be daunting, but its easier now than it was, thanks to the internet. Superboy Prime popped up around '85 and then vanished til 2005. So we're not talking about alot "screen time".
Did you honestly think nothing would have happened between the Death of Superman and the present? That was three decades ago!!!!
This reboot will wipe much of the slate clean so I wouldn't worry about "catching up". If they do it right you'll be given the information you need as you need it,
That "Q and A" was pretty lame. I do have to say that I'm interested in the Justice League book and that the first arc will tell their "new" origin. I agree Morrison sounded like he was rambling.
Hope he keeps the Clark and Lois marriage.
^ That's the one element that I want clarified still.

Thats what im hoping for . Oh back in the old days i read Marvel mostly lol, and some superman here and there.
Ive read up on Zero Hour thru Final Crisis via wiki. Thank god for the internet.
Just hope DC is totally REbooted and that the comics will be cheaper to dwn load too Kindle or here on puter so i can get my kids to read them. NO way am im i paying $3 or $4 bucks for a comic book.
So far ive read Flashpoint 1 & 2 , World of Flashpoint and the Batman tie in. Im really liken it so far and didnt no u can read these from other means lol.
So far DC is doing their job by getting me whom hasent bought a comic since 1995 to be interested again.
