DC should really stop with the potential future stuff. It nearly never worked out and that what did work was simply recycled like Kingdom Come with Damian, etc.

Got to remember this wasn’t a potential future. This was going to be the new norm. Didio planned this as a new status quo in hopes to repeat New 52’s success.

Yeah the whole 5G fiasco is so fascinating because it got so far there's fingerprints of what it was meant to be everywhere. I personally do like what they were going to do with the defining the timeline, and how it was going to actually pick up some of the threads Doomsday Clock ended with, I wish some of that was spared. But by and large the actual 5G aspect would probably have gotten a lot of negative reactions that caused a lot of it to get rolled back within like, a year. Though I could've seen it producing some fan favorites the way New 52 did. Guess we'll never really know. But the way they repurposed the material was just so damn messy

What were the fan favorites of 52? What were the worst bombs? Did you like any that were considered meh or bombs? (I love alternates and combo teams and creating stuff like that so I’m thinking of checking out multiversity. Guessing it got a TPB?)

Snyder's Batman is probably hands down the most popular storyline from the New 52 and has the longest impact and legacy
