    So there are now a few characters going around the DCU who are from the pre-Flashpoint universe. Superman and Lois, Ginger Wally, Johnny Thunder, I believe pre-Flashpoint Booster and Rip survived Flashpoint, the Legion of Superheroes remain mostly the same. Obviously New52 Barry and the Titans have 'memories' of before Flashpoint, but even then these memories appear to be altered. My question is whether characters who are explicitly pre-New52 like Ginger Wally and Superman will meet up and discuss the timeline. Unlike Barry, Supes is more likely to remember things as they were rather than a censored version of events. Wally seems to have been able to watch the events of Prime Earth from 'outside of time', and so knows that a few characters from the old universe entered the new universe due to Convergence. Would it not make sense for Wally to seek them out rather than the people like Barry and Dick who seem to be altered versions of the people he knew?

    @mattydavehalpeo: We don't know. Rebirth is just getting underway, so we just have to keep waiting for answers.

    It's hard to make speculations at this point.

    That's definitely an interesting way of looking at things. I never thought about numerous characters from pre-flashpoint, and it does make sense that Wally would have a better chance at clue finding with them, but somehow I doubt that will happen, or at least will happen soon. DC has constantly said that Rebirth will be a slow reveal, I'm thinking at least three years if not five until we know 70% of what's up, so I'm thinking if Wally ever does track down the pre-flashpoint characters then it'd be after his stint with the Titans. Or, maybe that's what the first big event post Rebirth will be after the first year or so and Wally meets up with everyone to find the next clue from Rebirth. Really interesting ways to look at these titles thinking of it like that.
