While a lot of the DC Timeline that Bleeding Cool reported in full this weekend for the first included a couple of things that were very new The specific historical year that each generational year on the DC Comics Timeline was to relate to, and the ages of DC Comics characters at different stages in[...]

Last month, we got a better look at the DC Comics Timeline that was announced in 2019, meant to have been in the Free Comic Book Day comic for 2020 (until a million copies were pulped) and then was done away with as publisher Dan DiDio was fired Since then we have managed to get[...]
Back in November, the DC Comics Future State preview book revealed the full DC Future State timeline and what book goes where It didn't get a lot of play, but now seems the perfect time to reel it out again, letting us know which book goes where And Bleeding Cool cut them up and put[...]
Today's DC Comics Future State preview book has revealed the full upcoming timelines of DC Future State And what book goes where… and Bleeding Cool has cut them up and put them on one shareable picture.
The Full Timeline For DC Comics Future State
2025: Arkham Knights, Batgirls, Batman/Superman, Batman Catwoman, Gotham City Sirens, Harley Quinn, Grifters,[...]
In which characters and comic books are no longer tied to a strict continuity but will play faster and looser with history.
The DC Omniverse – Continuity Changes In 2021, After Future State
This is a direct rejection of former DC publisher Dan DiDio's plans for a new DC Timeline that had began to be set up[...]
That Bruce Wayne was to have been aged up as part of the new DC Timeline, to be an old man, and tutoring and oracling the new Batman But then Dan DiDio was fired as publisher, the pandemic and shutdown kicked in, and plans changed radically The shutdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic underlined this as[...]
And rather than Death Metal's conclusion leading into 5G, with the central characters being aged up, it now segues into Generations: Shattered which follows on from the Detective Comics #1027 story and then into Future State and Generations: Forged, which also seems to be addressing the original plans for the New DC Timeline as well, spread[...]
Though Detective Comics #1027 indicates that they may have a shared cast.
DC Future State in January and February 2021
The Detective Comics #1027 sh0rt story written and drawn by Dan Jurgens saw Batman's history and continuity changing from something seen as close to the current model to something closer to the proposed new DC Timeline model[...]
The Free Comic Book Day title with the Flash Forward epilogue and the new DC Timeline was pulped – not one copy escaped A rewritten version ended up in the Flash Forward trade paperback instead And Generations was disappeared.
But it appears that, not wanting to waste all that time and money spent, some bits are[...]
We would have also seen a new timeline, pushing Wonder Woman's origin back to the beginning ot the twentieth century, expand Batman's timeline to that every Robin had their day, and move onto a bright future, with a rich legacy to explore That was the plan anyway.
And it would begin with the Generations volumes, numbered[...]
Do you remember the new DC Timeline? Teased at New York Comic Con, collated by Bleeding Cool, with Dan DiDio promising much, with aspects being revealed in the Anniversary editions of various titles The Timeline was meant to make its full debut in the DC Free Comic Book Day comic book that was printed and[...]
The Post-It on my computer for Death Metal is "everything matters" and our goal is reward you guys for your years of dedication and passion for these characters and stories by honoring as much as we can of the past, while blasting forward in the most fun way possible."
Everything matters to Scott Snyder
Now, "everything matters"[...]
Head on over to Carpool Karaoke: The Series (after you're done reading about this week's "Video Store Fridays", that is) to catch the cast unwinding while they cover songs from the show's decade of the '80s and more.

It is possible that Generation One, solicited for May may be also delayed for similar tweaking.
The Generation one-shots were originally intended to lay out the new DC Timeline and lead into 5G or Generation Five, a remaking of the DC Universe, spearheaded and sold into Warner Bros by the former publisher Dan DiDio But as[...]
While sketching on panel at C2E2 last weekend, DC Publisher Jim Lee asked the crowd 'heard any good rumours lately?' He was initially talking about
And a better look at how the DC Comics Timeline is being rewritten, redefined and full of intention contradiction All the editorial cock-ups of recent months, lampshaded, weaponised and turned into strengths, courtesy of Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth…
The return of the original WildC.A.T.S to the DC Universe, as well as Gen-13, Deathblow, Union and[...]
Today's Flash #750 reveals a new self-contradictory timeline, which Wally West's Dr Manhattan-powered up Pariah must find a way to sort out But maybe it's more that just the machinations of Manhattan that got it that way? Because today's Justice League Odyssey #19 has Epoch The Lord of Time, making big plans for everyone and[...]
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[...]
In which we would have seen the entire DC Universe aged up, along the lines of the planned new DC Timeline, with new characters replacing familiar figures in the classic roles This was to be Dan DiDio's big new thing, and a lot of work had been done on it across editorial, with a planned[...]

So when Liam Sharp, just now, stated that The Green Lantern Season Two had been restored to a full twelve-issue run, well, that just bolsters what we heard coming out of C2E2 that the implications of 5G and the new DC[...]
We'd previously said that the story within by Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth – which will have an expanded version for DC's Free Comic Book Day title Generation Zero: Gods Among Us – may do a smashing job of sorting out DC Comics' current continuity woes, set up the DC Timeline and prepare for 5G[...]
But it appears that a number of writers who have been working on upcoming comic books in line with the new DC Timeline, as of yesterday are being asked to make significant changes.
The original plan, as outlined by Dan DiDio at NYCC last year, was to rewrite the chronology of the DC Universe, with Wonder[...]
When Dan leaked the unfinished timeline at NYCC, people started to get worried internally, and the last month especially has seen Dan returning to his trademark levels of micromanagement that's caused some to freak out And that may have been the final straw regarding the charge of 'fostering a poor work environment' which led to[...]
Even though there's already some slippage in terms of the timelines of things in other books So expect another Supergirl series to start when that's no longer an issue – or when 5G/Generation Five comes along.
In theory, the DC timeline ends pre-reboot at the conclusion of Justice League #39, but there's a bunch of comics[...]
So, Supergirl is cancelled with #42 in May. A surprising cancellation, I'll grant you. But if it's a sales consideration... what other DC Comics regular
DC Comics are dropping the latest of their DC Timeline rewriting bombs, that Bleeding Cool has been reporting, following and interpreting for some time.
Generation One: Age Of Mysteries by Andy Schmidt and Doug Mahnke will take place in the First Generation of the DC Universe, which begins with the emergence of Wonder Woman during World[...]
Somewhere, somewhen, everywhere, everywhen.
Which is right along the idea of the new DC Comics timeline we have been talking about since last summer Everything happened, everything matters Including Doomsday Clock We have also been told that Metal 2: Death Metal will lead into the ageing of certain characters in the DC Universe along the lines of the[...]
Manhattan! Now armed with infinite knowledge – and the powers of a god – Wally West can see the past, present and future of the DC Universe all at once.
…Including what needs to be changed.
A reprint of "A Brave New World," from Wonder Woman #750 by Scott Snyder and Bryan Hitch which Bleeding Cool tagged[...]
He said that 'that's crazy, that's a crazy thought.' At which point he became the first DC Comics creator to name a certain story that Bleeding Cool scooped and has been reporting since last summer… telling us that '5G is happening, right.'
5G, as Bleeding Cool has it, is the fifth generation of DC Comics heroes[...]
That will lead to… everything.
Could this be the 'everything happened, everything matters' nature of the four generations of the DC Timeline? Because, you know what, Doomsday Clock did that too…Cheeky Superman… looks like there may be a way through after all I get the insider word in DC's direction that Doomsday Clock did happen in[...]
