Something Evil Is Coming in DC's Latest Dawn Of DC 2024 Timeline
DC Comics has issued a new update in its Dawn Of DC timeline. Telling us that Something Evil Is Coming... the Trinity Of Evil presumably?
Article Summary
- DC teases a sinistrous shift in the Dawn Of DC 2024 timeline, hinting at a Trinity Of Evil.
- Previous timeline events like Batman/Catwoman: Gotham War and Knight Terrors are recapped.
- Updates to the timeline include significant changes involving iconic superheroes and teams.
- Signs point to the abandonment of the Justice League arc in favor of darker storylines.
DC Comics has issued a new update to its Dawn Of DC timeline. With the Brainiac/Stillness tentacles taking a dive, no sign of the Return Of Justice League any more, and instead, Something Evil Is Coming…
Which we presume is the Trinity Of Evil for 2024, which DC Comics is suddenly not wanting to talk about, but which has been dominating Bleeding Cool traffic for the last couple of days.
This is how previous timelines looked. When DC Comics added the Batman/Catwoman: Gotham War to their Dawn Of DC timeline of events, launches and titles for 2023.
Which did look quite the scratch between the two of them.
DC Comics first released this look at 2023, with the title "Forging The Future One Hero At A Time". We knew about Lazarus Planet and that it would star Superman and Monkey Prince. But what about what came next? Green Arrow and Green Lantern, Shazam, Batman and Hawkman, and something called "Knight T…"
There was no mention of a Hawkman from DC, or anything beginning "Knight T…"
A later update shifted Green Lantern later a month, as DC dropped one writer in favour of another, possibly to match James Gunn's plans for DC Studios. And the Batman event gave us another letter, "KNIGHT TE…" suggesting Knight Terrors.
Aa new update pushed out Hawkman, saw DC replace him with Cyborg and Titans. But there's more, and if you pushed the exposure on the image, you see the skull more clearly. As well as the logo confirming the KNIGHT TER or Knight Terrors. A new Wonder Woman series. Hawkman had been moved further down the line rather than dropped. And what was that far right? Let's zoom in a little, shall we?
The Return Of The JL from DC. At some point.
The Justice League were killed at the end of Justice League #75. They were resurrected during Dark Crisis, but the Justice League is still disbanded. The Titans team are seen to be the natural successors, led by Nightwing.
Then we had the one that made Knight Terrors official.
Hidden in the image was Detective Chimp. But now? Nothing. It's rather disappointing. And in the new version, no skull, no chimp, no Justice League.
