bencher, the problem we all have is that DC don't seem to feel the need to be particularly editorially strict when it comes to continuity, so while events like the recent Crises are about events twenty years ago they are also about more recent things, such as the attempt to introduce the Doom Patrol via JLA a few years back as though they were a brand new team, the editors should have realised that they were already established as existing in the DCU. So what do we get? Superboy-Emo punches the wall of heaven and this creates continuity anomalies in the DCU.
And take Grant on Batman, he turns The Joker into this different character with a Glasgow kiss and a speech impediment and then a few months later the Joker is back to normal in Countdown and everywhere, including it seems Countdown to Final Crisis #0, goes on as if he's the same.
Therefore, LDones reply about the Seven Soldiers Mr Miracle is correct, it all matters as much as any writer can be bothered by it. 7S is set a few days before 'Infinite Crisis'. 'Final Crisis' is set a year and a bit after 'IC' (because of One Year Later, I don't know how much more time is supposed to have passed) However, between 7S and FC you've got some new Gods activity and things like the death of Big Barda.
I would suggest that the 'death of the New Gods' as suggested in 7S was some sort of simulation for reasons never likely to have been made clear, where now, a year or more later, it is coming true in the DCU.
But tomorrow Geoff Johns could say it all didn't happen if he wants to. |
