I have heard, through many avenues, that the 20th anniversary of
Crisis might be a big one.
And, as Grimm, thedoctor, and I have been comparing notes, look at the mounting evidence:
- The rumored Hyper-Crisis, ever since Morrison's days on JLA.
- Hal bringing Ollie back from the dead
- The creation of a "second" universe at the end of OWAW
- The "Return to Krypton" storylines from the Superman books.
- The appearance of a woman claiming to be Superman's daughter, in his books.
- DC's sudden move at grabbing most of the industry's top names.
- The Adventures of Superman issue where the Mxy twins talk about retconning, and, hitting a "Reset Button" on the DCU.
- The running theme of Silver-Age concepts popping up throughout the DCU, not to mention outright Silver Age nods with Birthright, and so on.
- Flash #200 : Barry's cryptic comment to Hal/Spectre, "You're getting closer and closer, Hal..."
And, now, Superman/Batman #2....

....the appearance of the Kingdom Come Superman! He suddenly appears, trying to kill the current Clark and Bruce. Not to mention, the ominous warning:
"IT ALL HAS TO END, TO BEGIN!!"
So, anyone else think that there is something going on? Are these all just coincedences? Or...
...are we looking at a Hyperverse bleed-over?
Opinions and comments?
