Is anyone reading FlashPoint? I haven’t been, but I kind of assumed it had a time-altering component to it which would explain some of these history wipes or alterations.

That’s extremely lame. I really can’t feel any enthusiasm for anything DC is doing :\

Just because Blackest night happened doesn’t mean it happened exactly the same at in this universe. Clearly it may NOT have involved some characters. No way Ronnnie died and Jason became Firestorm with all the previous histroy intact not with them bot being in high school and heroes only appearing five years ago. People need to let go of what went before.This is a new DCU.

Thanks for the comments. I was leaning more towards the idea that while FIRESTORM #1 is Jason and Ronnie’s first meeting, perhaps Firestorm’s involvement during BLACKEST NIGHT and BRIGHTEST DAY still happened in some way.

Well, there’s two ways to look at her answer.

1. The conspiracy theorist method: In Firestorm #1, we see a previously undisclosed meeting between Ronnie and Jason at some point in the past.

2. The cynical method: Gail Simone considers herself an ARTEEST who can do no wrong and will write whatever she wants.

But remember, according to DC editorial, all of the events of Blackest Night still happened! *FZZZT* (does not compute)
