In the first issue of Flashpoint, we discovered that the Batman of this new world was Thomas Wayne, who lost his young son Bruce Wayne at the hands of a mugger, and who became an older Batman as a result. Well in the new issue of Flashpoint: Batman: Knight Of Vengeance, which is rapidly outstripping every[...]

In the newest issue of Flashpoint, out today, we discover that Superman crash landed as a baby in Metropolis instead of Kansas, killing 35,000 As a result he seems to be considered a very serious threat by the government But also a being that they have to keep safe You know, just in case. And[...]

But quite a bit of confusion. In Flashpoint, we have a severly burnt Flash trying to regain his powers and putting the band back together, even if some of them don't seem to exist any more Which means finding a very different Superman indeed I can't talk about him here without giving away nice big meaty[...]

So, we knew with Voodoo, Stormwatch and Grifter, that Wildstorm would be embedding itself into the DC Universe relaunch after Flashpoint concludes.

What with the DC blog being considered a malware site right now, here's a perfectly safe way to see the San Diego Comic Con Flashpoint Zoom exclusive figure from Graphitti at Booth #2315.

Okay, out of all the post-Flashpoint stories I'm running, this is the one on the least firm foundations But, if true, will have the biggest multi-media implications. I'm told that Superman and Wonder Woman will be getting together. In a very media friendly fashion, indeed. Or at least it will be a plot point A possibility[...]
