So how do the characters from New Earth fit in the sceme of the New 52 and what does that mean for the rest of the DC universe? For instance, the Pre-Flashpoint Superman was brought to the New 52 and clearly remembers everything from his Earth. Wally West was trapped in the Speed Force, and only recently escaped. Essentially, my question is: what is the relationship between New Earth and the New 52/Prime Earth?

Same Earth but with timeline alterations.

How Superman existed in the N52 and was stolen by Brainiac during convergence is an ongoing mystery on the Superman titles. But he is the exception. The others are the same people just with different memories.

So things that happened in Pre-Flashpoint still happened but were altered? But somethings don't add up. Like there being 2 Doomsdays, Cyborg Superman not being Hank Henshaw, Cyborg replacing Martian Manhunter and so on. Is this the effect of what ever unseen force altered the universe?

But it gets even more confusing when remembering that Convergence took place on Telos which was an anomaly in the Prime Earth.

Dr. Manhattan altered the history. The universe tries to return to its natural state hence the abnormalities.

@darksider555: Just thing of it as all DC heros live on Prime Earth, and all events that happened in Prime Earth (during New52) and New Earth (During pre-Flashpoint) happened on Prime Earth since Dr. Manhattan altered history. And since Dr. Manhattan altered history some characters have been altered, some have come back, others have disapeared and others have 2 versions.
