Dc rebirth new 52 continuity
DC Rebirth is a comic book relaunch by DC Comics that aims to restore the DC Universe to its pre-New 52 continuity. The New 52 was a major relaunch of the DC Universe in 2011, which rebooted many of the characters and storylines. However, many fans felt that the New 52 had altered the core of the DC Universe and its characters, and that it had lost the sense of continuity and history that made the DC Universe so beloved.
DC Rebirth aims to restore that sense of continuity and history by bringing back many of the characters and storylines that were changed or erased during the New 52. The relaunch is being written by Geoff Johns, who was one of the architects of the New 52, and is being illustrated by a variety of artists.
Here are some key changes that DC Rebirth has made to the DC Universe:
- The return of the DC Universe's pre-New 52 continuity: DC Rebirth has restored the DC Universe's pre-New 52 continuity, which means that many of the characters and storylines that were changed or erased during the New 52 are back to their original forms.
- The return of the DC Trinity: The DC Trinity, which consists of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, is back to its pre-New 52 form. This means that Superman is once again the son of Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van, and that Batman is once again the son of Thomas and Martha Wayne.
- The return of the DC Multiverse: The DC Multiverse, which was erased during the New 52, is back. This means that there are once again multiple parallel universes, each with their own versions of the DC characters.
