We Hope THE NEW HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE Will Answer These Lingering Questions

The article from Nerdist looks forward to the comic series The New History of the DC Universe, which aims to create a single, definitive timeline for DC's notoriously complex and contradictory continuity. The author hopes this new history will finally provide clear answers to several long-standing questions and resolve inconsistencies created by numerous reboots.

The main questions the article hopes will be answered are:

• The Golden Age Trinity: How will the original 1940s versions of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman be integrated into the timeline? Will they be treated as the same characters as their modern counterparts or as separate historical figures from Earth-Two?
• Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes: Will the classic story of a young Clark Kent serving as Superboy with the 31st-century Legion of Super-Heroes be officially restored to the timeline, and if so, how?
• The Original Bat-Family: What is the official status of the pre-Crisis Batwoman (Kathy Kane) and Bat-Girl (Bette Kane)? Will they be formally written back into the main DC history?
• Wonder Woman's Origin: The series needs to settle on a single, definitive origin for Wonder Woman, resolving the conflict between her being sculpted from clay by her mother and her being the demigod daughter of Zeus.
• The Many Crises: How will the new history streamline and explain the cumulative effects of DC's multiple reality-altering events, such as Crisis on Infinite Earths, Flashpoint, and Doomsday Clock?
• "Lost" Characters: Will the full histories of characters and relationships erased by past reboots (like Wally West's original family and the Teen Titans' full timeline) be restored?
• Doctor Manhattan's Role: How will this official in-universe history incorporate the meta-narrative from Doomsday Clock that Watchmen's Doctor Manhattan was responsible for manipulating and rebooting the DC timeline?
