What Does Doomsday Clock #9 Mean for the Future of the DC Universe – Nightwing, Aquaman, Hawkman and More (Spoilers)

Doomsday Clock, the unauthorised sequel to Watchmen, is set in the near-future of the DC Universe. It had a choppy beginning gettibg the dates straight, but it is meant to be happening sometime later in 2019.

Today's Doomsday Clock #9 sees the gathering of superheroes take a daytrip to Mars to confront Dr Manhattan. So we get to see who is who and what is what. And it's all looking rather… classic.

Nightwing's back, in the Gotham spaceship. Doesn't look much like a 'Ric Grayson' here, though we don't hear him speak. Batgirl's costume has darkened rather. Hawkman is back with Hawkgirl (in some fashion) as Mister Miracle and Big Barda are along for that ride.

Aquaman can also remember who he is again, and is back with Mera. Hal Jordan is a Green Lantern again, not a Blackstar. And whatever went down in today's Green Arrow #50…

…Ollie and Dinah have seemed to couple up as well. Though you'd think these space ships would have more places to sit. Oh and for everything that Wally West has been going through in Heroes In Crisis… such as being dead. Even if no one realised for ages.

Superman told her everything else, he might as well have mentioned Wally too. Unless of course he's back from the dead and a member of  Suicide Squad now…
