Jay Garrick Was Now Inspired By Wonder Woman in 1940 – Flash #750 Spoilers

The new Flash #750 – just like Wonder Woman #750 – places the characters upon a timeline. Just as Wonder Woman now first emerges in the DC Universe in 1939, working with the US President as the country dithers over joining World War II…

… and just as we saw the original Green Lantern Alan Scott receiving such inspiration…

…so in 1940 we have Jay Garrick, the first Flash, now part of the DC Universe again, and talking about the inspiration that Wonder Woman gave to emerging heroes.

As part of the new DC Timeline, the use of dates may be going away after the departure of Dan DiDio as Publisher, but it will be hard to get rid of the specific dates and events if World War II when it comes to DC's Golden Age. Will the future Anniversary volumes skip tying things down as much as DiDio planned, as Bleeding Cool recently reported?

This is how the timeline was originally planned…

Year 1 Krypton explodes. Rocket crashes in Smallville. Wonder Woman debuts, Steve Trevor crashes on Themescyria

Year 2 Jay Garrick debuts as The Flash. Alan Scott debuts as the Green Lantern. Zatara debuts as a stage magician. Dan Garrett debuts as Blue Beetle. Blackhawk assembles Crew.

Let's see what it ends up as, shall we?
