a 2003 storyline that went well into 2006 in a universe that, get this, ended with Flashpoint


What did she do in Flashpoint? I have the TPB of this storyline and the "Batman in the world of Flashpoint" TPB and do not recall seeing her in either of those stories, but obviously there were other books that tied into Flashpoint that I do not have. I can't find anything about her part in that storyline on any DC or other wikipedia pages. Are you just saying she was wiped from existence because of Flashpoint?

I think it's more that we know that Flash's movie will be Flashpoint (I personally think a movie like that should occur after a more established universe, but whatever) and therefor it's an "anything goes" type of universe.

Evil Superman and good Lex Luthor? Sure.
Martian Manhunter is an evil white Martian? Why not. (And before anyone screams "white = evil is woke", please read the damn storylines from the 90s)
Wonder Woman and Aquaman battle and cause WWIII? Ya' damn straight.

It's a movie with a dark haired Barry Allen, an African American Iris West, a Latina Nora Allen, and a 70 year old Batman. A blonde Silver Age Supergirl would pretty much be out of place at this point.

If she is playing Cir-El she's supposed to have dark hair so...

They already did this with Ms. Martian on the CW show before that show got just absolutely awful.

With it being Flashpoint, maybe they can end it by destroying the timeline and retconning everyone into looking like the source material.

Yeah, that is not a good look. Blocky shape with odd leg to torso ratio. And, what's up with the angular shaped ab prostheses?

nothing, it was this part that was connected:

quote:

Her storylines happened in the Universe that lead up to Flashpoint.

This feels like a huge reset moment for DC - I'm sure they are going to pull a lot of material from the Crisis on Infinite Earths timeline (1985-2011) with a heavy emphasis on the Infinite Crisis (2005-2011) stories that lead into Flashpoint. With the Convergence event in 2015 we are also seeing a pullback to the Crisis storylines as well in the current comics.

This is in no way saying I'm going to like this movie, but it'll be interesting what they use this movie to "redo"

P.S: With Cavell out, with Affleck out, and with basically everyone else too expensive... this movie was always going to have to "dig deep" to get what we see as "random" characters to build out the story, it's too be expected on these types of projects.

And still somehow have this world's Wonder Woman and Shazam cross over into whatever the redo is because at least the first of those movies were actually good. Oh, and the Suicide Squad because that makes money.

I'm pretending WW84 doesn't exist.

ETA: Would be funny to see part of Batman's rogues gallery stick around with a new Batman in a new world.

Sure it does. Once people stop paying to see the movies it will go away.

I'm pretty sure that the people that are eating this crap up have been brainwashed into thinking that they never have to grow up and there's always going to be a woke superhero around the corner to save the day.

The looks is ripped directly from the comics, I'm good with it. The abs are supposedly from the harness.
