When fans found out that DC was planning yet another universe-wide relaunch event similar to Flashpoint and The New 52, there were a lot of questions as to how this was going to change the DC status quo. How would all of the books be effected? What would this change? Would old characters and stories be brought back? And more importantly, with so many decades of DC continuity that had been put on the shelf for the past 5 years during The New 52... how was DC going to explain everything? It all looked pretty complicated (and in a few ways it was)! But it was also really exciting and holds a lot of promise!
