The reboot of the DC Universe in an upcoming publishing event following the conclusion of the current Flashpoint crossover. It will entail changes to both the publishing format and fictional universe. Publishing changes include same day release of physical comics with digital platforms, all DC Universe titles being cancelled or restarted at a new issue 1, the former Wildstorm imprint being rolled into the greater DC Universe and a number of new titles being released to round the number of ongoing series being published on a monthly basis up to 52. It will be also accompanied by a number of in universe changes designed to make characters more modern and accessible, though the severity of the changes will vary from character to character.[1]
Relaunch
Following Flashpoint, all DC titles will be renumbered and relaunched with new #1 issues.[2] The new continuity will have new outfits, back history, and stories for many of its long established heroes and villains. An interview with DC Comics executive editor Eddie Berganza and editor-in-chief Bob Harras reveal that the new continuity does not constitute a full reboot of the DC Universe but rather a "soft reboot". While many characters will undergo a reboot or revamp, much of DC Universe history will remain intact with many major storylines such as Blackest Night, Brightest Day, Batman: A Death in the Family and Batman: The Killing Joke still very much part of the continuity. DC editorial has also constructed a timeline that details the new history and which storylines to keep or ignore.[3]
