I'm currently reading the miniseries "Flashpoint" released by DC Comics. It's a series that has lead to the complete elimination of the old DC Universe and replaced it with a new universe.

In this new universe there is no Superman, Bruce Wayne is not Batman, Wonder Woman and the Amazons are at war with Aquaman and the Atlantians, and the war between the Amazons and the Atlantians is going to destroy the world. Only two individuals, The Flash (Barry Allen) and Booster Gold, know that the world has changed and they are working to restore the universe back to the one they knew before they completely lose their memories of their old universe.

The last issue of "Flashpoint" is going to be released on 31 August. This issue is supposed to lead to a reboot of the DC Universe, and 52 number one issues are going to be released in conjunction with the end of "Flashpoint."

The series and its crossovers have been excellent, and they features many surprises (such as who Batman and The Joker are in the Flashpoint universe). It's worth a read.
Thanks for that info. I saw that series, and assumed it was centered on one of the Flash characters.

I wonder what the reboot will be like. I hope they bring the Man of Steel closer to the original vision of his creators, and stop trying to make him ever more god-like.
