Aight big post read it all complex multiversal Manhattan
So to start of let me draw your attentiom to the comedian. The comedian was a hero turned eco-terrorist in the world of the watchmen and he’s also the owner of the smiley faced button. In batman (volume 3 rebirth) issue 21 Batman discovers the smiley faced button and, for unknown reasons a strange power is resonating from it. The blood is from when Ozymandias killed the comedian. That is why the batcomputer cant find a genetic match.
Upon realising that the button may be from another earth the reverse-flash shows up and quickly bashes batman, he then takes the button and is transported to another location. When he returns to the batcave he says he saw God and dies.
The issue ends with the flash arriving and finding a dead Eobard Thawne and an unconscious Batman. At this moment in the story it was pure speculation on who did this to Thawne.
In Flash (volume 5 rebirth) issue 21 the flash arrives on the scene and is curious on as to what occured. Being a detective Barry asks Batman what occured and he tells him that Thawne beat him up and took the button which transported him somewhere. Barry and Batman knew that the button had appeared the day that Wally was freed from the speed force. Barry then decided to use the cosmic treadmill to follow the radiation signature through time and spcae to the location of where thawne was sent to. Batman who hadnt fully healed followed him.
The issue then ends with batman meeting he’s father. For those of you who dont know DC has the branch timeline theory. Any major alteration to history creates an entirely new universe than the original universe.
Now on the second scan above the flash says Wally said they had lost years and that is because an unknown entity had erased 10 years of the main DC timeline creating rebirth but no one knew who it was until now who its revealed later it dr manhattan since we find out Dr. Manhattan locked Wally in the speed force meaning he wasnt effected by time changing so he witnessed the 10 years being deleted.
Doomsday clock issue 11 wally being locked the speedforce
In DC universe: Rebirth only issue the hand of an unknown entity (Dr. Manhattan) caused the erasure of 10 years of the main dc timeline as well as the appearance of the button from he’s own world when Wally re-entered the main timeline from the speedforce upon he’s visit with batman.
To be honest I should have explained that Wally visited batman after breaking out of the speedforce first which lead to the reverse-flash coming to investigate the artefact of the being that locked Wally away but Oh well. Anyways back to Batman (volume 3) where batman meets he’s father. Ultimately the rest of the comic is just them talking whilst Flash recreates the cosmic treadmill whilst batman tries to convince he’s stuborn father to come to the main universe. Unfortunately as they finish the universe is being destroyed.
As it is visibly clear the universe was being destroyed by an unknown entity (Dr. Manhattan) flash and batman managed to escape the destruction using the cosmic treadmill to flee to another universe. Batman’s father chose to stay and die but he reappears in another batman story for whatever reason and thats the end of the issue.
Now i’m going to keep this issue rather short in the flash (volume 5) issue 22, the flash and batman meet Eobard Thawne before he dies since they rebuilt the cosmic treadmill to follow him through time before he died. As they finally meet him he meets the same fate and dies. Batman and flash are also in peril as the cosmic treadmill is being destroyed meaning they could fall into different time periods.
Batman and Flash are eventually saved by Jay Garrick the flash but batman and flash have no recollection of him since time had been erased meaning that speedsters like Jay amd Wally would pose a threat and may revert time to what it was since being in the speedforce shielded them from such events effecting their memory.
Unfortunately before Jay can explain what had occurred he was whisked off back to the speedforce leaving a very confused Batman and Flash.
The issue isnt finished yet the issue then reveals at the very end Dr. Manhattan picking up the button proving he was the one who created rebirth by erasing 10 years of time from the main universe, destroyed the flash point universe since DC has the branch timeline theory and imprisoned speedsters. I could also talk about how he let superman’s dad survive the explosion on krypton and later on Batman’s father from flashpoint is alive and the only way he could be alive is if Manhattan took him from the universe he destroyed and how Dr. M erased the league of superheroes from existence by making sure Alan Scott never became green lantern meaning the legion of superheroes wasn’t formed. But for now I’ll leave you with the last scans from Flash (volume 5) issue 22.
The last scans of Batman/Flash: The button saga. Hope you enjoyed the explanation it took a while but I did it. The fact Dr. Manhattan can destroy a universe effortlessly without having to be in that said universe already tells me he is bare minimum multiversal.
Never mind that Manhattan also exists in all universes simultaneousl or at least so he has told Ozymandias who is he’s best friend and Dr. Manhattan doesnt lie.
I also hope this changes peoples stance on Dr. Manhattan he is one of the more underestimated character.
But combining he’s feats in with “THE BUTTON SAGE”, “DOOMSDAY CLOCK”, AND “FLASH FORWARD” SCALING Dr. Manhattan himself has destroyed 2 universes, and using flash forward Wally with dr. Manhattans powers destroyed a multiversal universe, it is what it what it is, so essentially the dark multiverse was being destroyed by the Maelstrom.
Infinite dark universes were destroyed except for one, I speculate it’s the home of Batman who laughs, it’s speculation since He’ll Arisen Batman who laughs goes there, so this one dark universe resisted erasure where infinite failed and it started infecting universes from the infinite multiverse making them dark universes while destroying universes at the same time.
Please remember this is after doomsday clock so DC has infinite universes.
Tempus Faginuat a multiversal also failed, Wally destroyed that universes where the maelstrom and Tempus Fuginaut failed but Wally using manhattans power succeded with a portion of manhattans power.
Now for the people who want evidence, it Manhattan’s power. Here’s an explanation.
Now I’m not sure whether you remember but at the end of the Darkseid wars, Batman got of the Mobius chair only for Owlman to take it and be killed by a “mysterious force” as shown above furthermore it was the comic that showed the start of rebirth when Wally would come out of the speedforce after being imprisoned in there by Dr. Manhattan as I explained earlier on.
I have reason for this to be Manhattan, the main reason being if your a quantum being about to make changes to the multiverse, the last thing you want is someone witnessing or being aware of your actions mainly anyone on the Mobius chair.
This give Dr. Manhattan clear motive to kill Owlman since he would likely interfere with he’s plans by either telling individuals even the justice league since he’s not afraid to work with others to achieve a common goal as seen in the Darkseid wars to defeat a God, the most recent being Darkseid.
Furthermore Dr. Manhattan already has a track record for killing or abducting people from either time, space or just eradicating a universe to get rid of evidence of he’s involvement, this is seen in the button when Dr. M kills Reverse Flash, flash travels to the buttons energy signature and goes into the flash pin to verse and flash starts to remember the he created an alternate timeline, Dr. M then destroys the flashpoint universe And Batman and flash escape using the cosmic treadmill to traverse the timestream only for it to be destroyed and almost fall into seperate eras in time only to be saved by Jay Garrick flash who remembers flash, but Barry can’t remember him, Jay even says someone is behind this and after saving flash and Batman he’s abducted by Dr. M. I’d recommend you just read the Button Saga.
So Dr. M has a track record for killing people that may reveal he’s involvement.
The next piece of evidence is that the Mobius Chair says that it was touched by the “Mysterious force” aNd gained its power, and sure enough after sally sits on the Mobius chair, the chair is blue as apposed to Owlman, Batman and Mobius sitting on it when it was black. But the colour isn’t the give away the give away that Dr. M is the “mysterious force” is that after Wally sits on the chair he gets the Manhattan symbol on he’s forehead which is obvious proof and he’s suit becomes blue.
The third piece of evidence is that the comic reference the doomsday clock by saying “The man who touches the chair... shares he’s power with the chair... He is creation... He is Doomsday... He is the clock ticking on the multiverse. We share he’s vision”.
And as you know the last piece of evidence is when the Mobius chair as quoted says “The man who touches the chair... Shares he’s power with the chair”. The only man who could give Wally such Almighty power is Doctor Manhattan. Rest In Peace you low complex multiversal King.
