EVERY DC Comics Crisis Explained!

[@ComicDrake]

*F.A.Q.* *What about Blackest Night?:* Not a Crisis. It doesn't affect things on a multiversal scale. *What about Doomsday Clock:* Not a Crisis or at least not yet. We need to wait for the end of the book to see. *What about Rebirth?:* Not a Crisis. It just revealed the post-Flashpoint changes. *What about Death Metal?:* Not a Crisis. It is specifically an Anti-Crisis. *Why didn't you talk about **____** happening in **____** story?:* These are super condensed summaries. If I didn't include it, I clearly didn't think it was worth mentioning for the core explanation. *Why didn't you mention **____** happening from **____** tie in?:* These summaries are strictly of the core books.

[@nebulaentertainment3404]

Imagine in the new upcoming crisis, DC just goes off the rails crazy. I mean they have every version of DC characters come together to form a massive army to fight whatever the big bad is in the book. I know that sounds like Convergence, but every character is from the newly established multiverse, like the arrowvewrse or dcamu. It will be glorious. From Teen Titans Go to the dceu, all versions of the DC universe converge at this one monumentous occasion!

[@ChristyAbbey]

Doomsday Clock is supposed to explain(?) Rebirth. I think they've had to tweak it so much due to the original delays that the ending may be moot at this (flash)point.

[@scratcho.9980]

So Convergence was just trying to make absoulty e v e r y t h i n g canon with the excuse that if something ever goes against continuity then it just exists in a seperate multiverse. By that logic even fan fiction is canon.

I like the idea that DC’s history has been rebooted and altered so many times that now it’s essentially fluid. It constantly changes, so let’s say Harley Quinn can be both the goofy Deadpool-wannabe in her own book while being more of a psycho killer in Suicide Squad, for example. They can both be canon. Superboy can have both of his Pre-Flashpoint and New 52 origins, as the fluid DC canon constantly changes.

"Emphasize story over continuity." The problem with that is, if the outcome of any story can just be ignored by the next writer, then fans have little reason to care about the outcome of any story in the first place. Which can't be good for sales.

Not to mention character development. No point in caring about a character growing if it can just be easily tossed out.

[@coloradospacegeek4226]

I don’t know, it worked during the Golden and Silver Ages. I love continuity and long story arcs but there’s something to be said for just telling good stories, something that has been scarce at DC and Marvel for the past 20 years. The editors and writers have been pushing their egos on how much they can mess with characters that have been around for decades and I would argue it’s been horrible.

[@lugoorstar]

@Some characters aren't allowed but changing from taking in count between 2-14 years worth of continuity and making it into 0 seconds of continuity is a big leap. So it would really make it so every single writer can make a series about a character in wich between 2 books/comics there is 0 character development 0 changes to the narrative, and complete freedom to just make a "figth gallery" where everyone dies, but in the sequel they are 1 year in the future and everyone is 5 years old, no one died never, and the consumers is supposed to just accept that reading the series means nothing, but still buying every single one.

The main thing that's always bothered me about the crises is how Earth-centric every story has to be. How can you have a universe or multiverse-shattering event but only have them effect one planet, even if it's different versions of it? If the Earths exist and there are Kryptonians, Thanagarians, etc. living there then that means different versions of alien worlds also exist, so why do we never see how they react to time and space and their own realities being threatened?

As someone who loves the story of DC Comics and is desperately trying to understand the continuity of it all, I love your videos! They've actually answered a lot of the questions I had based on all the new comics and characters that DC keeps cranking out (and explains that it isn't just randomness). I will say that I'm still a little bit confused on some of the reboots like Flashpoint and Final Crisis and how they all tie into it all.

[@Deadpool3E]

Aren't there two other Crises happening right now? I know one is the multiversal war between justice and doom, but what about the thing involving Dr. Manhattan that's been stretched out for the last two years? The one where the changes involving Pandora and the inter-continental fusion was because our favorite one man Blue Man Crew got bored and wanted to screw around just to meet Superman. Or would that still be lumped in with Flashpoint.

Who else wants "CoIE", "Infinite Crisis", and "Final Crisis" to be a movie trilogy with the Justice League? Especially now that we have the Snyder cut, anything's possible. There should be a Crisis film staring both Christian Bale and Ben Affleck as two contrasting Batmen with different ideologies and methods, (like that two Batmen met in the New 52's Earth 2 run). Or Brandon Routh could be the Golden Age Superman who felt that Henry Cavil's New Earth Superman didn't do his job as well as he's expected. So Henry Superman has to to prove himself to the whole world that he's the embodiment of hope, then they'll both punch evil Superboy Prime in the face.

Flashpoint bothered me for two reasons. 1) The Flash is an expert time traveler but this time he screws up time travel so badly that he alters events that occurred BEFORE his mom died. Superman and Batman both being events that happened prior to that day. 2) Every other time The Flash has gone back in time to correct the timeline because another time traveler screwed something up it's worked and restored the original timeline. Prior to 1985 Barry Allen's parents were both alive. It wasn't until after the Flash Rebirth event that suddenly his mom was dead killed by a version of Professor Zoom that somehow figured out how to avert his own death and frame his dad for the crime. As a stand alone story I think it's awesome but even before Barry changes continuity it changes continuity going into the story.

Dark Knights Metal was a bit unfair to the other characters involved because it was written in such a way that nobody else mattered. Batman probably could have found a way to break free from the tower & do it all himself. There were an infinite army of evil versions of every one but only the batmen were the main bad guys? Really??? It seemed like everyone else was there just to justify calling it a crossover. It wasn't bad, it could have been better but it was far too Batman centric.

Multiverses are FUN! And in a multiverse, all the different timelines which have ever existed and include the DC heroes can exist at the SAME time, and all the heroes from alternate publishers likewise (the stuff that's been bought by DC over the years.) If they are like our real earth they are actually able to exist in duplicates and in multiple places at the same time according to at least some renowned physicists. Some scientists believe we live in not just a level 1 multiverse, but a level 2, 3, or even 4+ multiverse (look it up.) While this is fun and exciting to think about, I've sort of always found that using multiverses to DESTROY the stuff I read about in comic books (and love) was quite annoying. It was actually the very thing that made me stop spending every cent I had on comics (I grew up in the bronze age of comics and I loved and read every issue of every superhero series I could get my grubby little paws on.) The first time I experienced a reboot was the Superman reboot in 1986, and it annoyed me immensely (despite my love of John Byrne's drawings, the man was such an artist!) Still, I was way annoyed with the weak new superman. So much so, that I said goodbye to DC and concentrated on Marvel for a long time.) Back then I thought that the reboot was the work of lazy storytellers who didn't want to bother with the continuity. As a grown-up, I definitely see their problems, stuff had gotten very cluttered, but to be honest, I still think that it would have been better to for instance switch to another Earth altogether as the focus, and then do crossovers to the old reality of comics as fun returns to "the broken stuff they wanted to leave behind," or kill superman and then bring him back in some way (alternate earth crossover, cloning, or whatever.) I know they've done all those things but am I the only one who thinks that crisis is sort of a lazy approach? To me, it's like, "Oh, we messed up, and instead of fixing what we made we just delete it and replace it with what is MUCH better, and then two years later," it's like, "Oh, we messed up and instead of fixing what we made" we just delete it and replace it with what is MUCH better, and then two years later," it's like, "Oh, we messed up and instead of fixing what we made we just delete it and replace it with what is MUCH better," and then two years later, it's like, "Oh, we messed up and instead of fixing what we made we just delete it and replace it with what is MUCH better..." you see where this is going? It's just sort of a boring circle of messes. Instead of trying to really improve the writing, so it can stand the test of time ;-)

Hot take: Metal is the worst event. I do not understand how people like it.

0:57 Can someone give me context for this image?

Superboy Prime angrily commenting about DC's "horrible" writing. No. Seriously. That is what's going on. S. Prime was actually a Superboy from a stand-in for our universe, which was destroyed in the first Crisis. Whoops. Before it came back, he became jaded and kill crazy, complaining about how "Everything was better on MY Earth!". Once he got back to his Earth, he saw how the people at DC were handling his story, and the DCU in general, and turned into the equivalent of a toxic fanboy.

So Convergence was a way to give DC writers carte blanche so they could pick and use (continuity be damned) whatever they wanted from all these universes?

[@16Bit-Jafu]

can you go on these events in more detail?? that would be great!!

[@randomericthings7506]

Dark Nights: Death Metal is out and makes Dark Nights: Metal look tame in comparison.

[@chriscueva1866]

Secret wars(2015) is the best crisis.

[@radicaledward3783]

I'd like to think i speak for a lot of comics fans when i say that i wish that DC would focus on telling good stories rather than endless crises.

I feel like Doomsday clock was supposed to be a crisis and they derailed that idea for some reason. I remember even when it was first coming out alongside dark Knight metal I thought of how weird it was that dark Knight metal was such a big event considering that something waaaay more important, in my perspective, was happening in the pages of Doomsday clock. I mean, Dr. Manhattan showing up, being possibly the most powerful being to ever appear yet and probably being the causs of most of the reboots during the crises? I think they had a plan for that but lost their way in the process. Can you talk about it?

What if there's an antimatter version of the dark multiverse?

[@lucasoneill9662]

Yeah that exists it's called Batman and Robin

[@Strato_Casterrr9898]

There is, but the anti monitor of the dark multiverse is long dead, the Terrifics literally explored its decaying corpse for a bit

[@mattwo7]

Is Crisis on Infinite Earths when the red skies thing started or was it from one of those earlier crossovers and CoIE is just best known for them? I mean, it IS a far a bigger deal than the earlier ones so it wouldn't surprise me if that's not actually where it first happened. I've even read it's infamous for having books not directly tied into the event where characters comment on the skies being red.

I only started reading comics with Rebirth, specifically Action comics and superman. While I am now really enjoying them, boy was it hard to get going. While DC rebirth was sold as a reboot/relaunch you couldn't really read them without understanding much of what you have talked about in your video. So a big thank you to people like yourself and Comics explained for taking the time to lay it out in a logical way.

[@DoctorTopper]

Convergence is lame but ALL THE TIE-INS ARE GREAT.

[@joshuaingobo1559]

Even though the tie-ins have a few continuity errors.
