Many are asking "is Flashpoint going to have a long lasting effect on the DC Universe."If you have not been paying attention "Flashpoint" is a story coming out of the Flash books were an event from the Flash's past changes...thus altering the whole universe and our heroes. So it's up to the Flash to put things right again.
This is not a new idea and typically...the altered event is corrected and everything goes back to status quo.
But for many years now DC has either revamped or refocused its heroes and characters.
So then, why do another big event and use this as a tool to set up new angles on books...but if this is not the reason for the series then why do the story at all.
Today DC Comics Executive Editor Eddie Berganza made this comment towards fan's questions about the story...
“The fun part of FLASHPOINT is that it leads to this level of wild speculation. All I would say right now is that the speculation hasn’t been wild enough.
The last thing anyone should do is to hold back their imagination.”
So that got me thinking... what if Flashpoint is meant to leads us into a new universe of characters to be read regularly?
I mean, why not?
Marvel has had success with its Ultimate line and with Wildstorm no longer in publication there is tons of talent out there ready to bring us new books.
So there you have it. Maybe we are not going to get a new Aquaman but just another Aquaman?
Just speculating Commuters...just speculating.
