FLASHPOINT Logos Give New Hints At Series

January 14th, 2011
Author Lucas Siegel

So, remember those teasers from yesterday? Yes, those, the ones we were all having fun speculating on.

Well, it turns out we were quite right about many of them, if these logos revealed today on The Source are any indication.

So, we were right about Batman and the Wayne Casinos.

We were right about the “marriage” being Wonder Woman and Aquaman.

But hey, those of you who pointed out that there are some other big rings in the DCU, including the one worn by The Flash himself, were right on target. No new info on the Spaceship crash or the one being experimented on, but DC promises new teasers each Friday moving forward.

    Alright Aquaman smashing Wonder Woman every nite.

  2. Tom Says:

    That looks more like Aqualads insignia than Aquamans.

  3. Jon Says:

    If I am right by all the oreviews I see, the flashpoints are leading to the “original 7″ of the JLA. It has been rumored that “they” were coming back…We had Kal, Diana and Bruce…they brught back Hal, Joh n Barry and now Arthur. DC ROCKS

    If I am right by all the reviews I see, the flashpoints are leading to the “original 7″ of the JLA. It has been rumored that “they” were coming back…We had Kal, Diana and Bruce…they brought back Hal, John Barry and now Arthur. They have all at one point died and now they have at one point ALL come back. DC ROCKS.

  5. Dallion Says:

    Could this be what the FCBD “Secret” book could be about. DC has the last few years used FCBD to launch their “Event” books.

  6. Christopher Says:

    Are we totally positive that it’s Aquaman and Wonder Woman and not Aqualad and Wonder Girl?

  7. Frank H MacDonald Says:

    Christopher,

    You might be on to something. Check this out, what if DC is pulling a fast one? What if this series doesn’t revolve around the “Big 7″? What if the “marriage” is Wonder Girl and Aqualad? What if the Flash is really Bart? What if the Batman symbol, which looks differant from the symbol in the books worn by both Batman (Man that sounded strange, although it does look like the original symbol, is actually Tim or Damian? What if this series revolves around the Teen Titans instead of the Justice League? After all DC has stated that they want to bring Teen Titans back to “Awesome” status in 2011.

  8. Johnny B. Says:

    I think “Where is his ring” might be where is his WEDDING ring as opposed to Barry’s Flash ring. Someone else pointed out that Reverse Flash would have to keep ‘Barry becoming the Flash’ since that a) created the Speed Force i nthe first place, b) inspired Thawne to become a speedster, and c) created the Reverse Speed Force that allows him to do all of this in the first place. “The chicken and the egg, Data! The chicken and the egg!”

    So what if he just pulls a “One More Day” on Barry and removes Iris from his life?

  9. Wally East Says:

    It’s possible the symbols look different because that’s how they look in the altered universe.

  10. Pat Says:

    When I saw the first teasers, my first thought was that “The spaceship never crashed” meant that Hal Jordan never found the dying Abin Sur and became a Green Lantern, and that “He was experimented on in a lab for years” referred to Kal-El. Now that we know “Where is his ring?” refers to a Flash, I think I was right.

  11. Dallion Says:

    Ok, in looking at the dates I am 100% sure this book is the FCBD give away from DC. FCBD is May 7th, Flashpoint is out in May. Remember Blackest Night and War of the Supermen started on FCBD.

  12. Kenny Says:

    Pat, I also think that the spaceship refers to GL, but my own guess is that J’onn is the one being experimented on and that we have yet to see a hint about what’s going on with Superman.

  13. Brian Real Says:

    Johnnie B., agreed. The Flash ring is obvious, but knowing Johns I see him going for the wedding ring. Everything we’ve seen implies that this is going to be about Zoom screwing with time, and these previews make me think that this will basically be House of M for the DCU.

  14. Rob Says:

    Remember in the previews though that we see Barry use the ring and it come out Reverse Flash colors. So where is his ring with his costume

  15. James Says:

    Couldn’t that be Aquaman’s symbol and one for Hawkgirl/woman? It looks like it’s wings and the red circle looks like a hawk emblem. I don’t know….

  16. Rob Says:

    Another though. Anyone think there is something to the fact that the Batman & Wonder Woman logo have the same type of back circle. Both a blood red. Flash is white and Aquaman is a blue.

    In the preview image we see Batman and Flash fighting and Wonder Woman with Big Ben in flames. So maybe it is showing what side they are on

  17. Johnny B. Says:

    The Hawks continuity is so screwie that this event could make it better or worse! A marriage between Aquaman and Hawkgirl wouldn’t prevent a war because as Shiera Saunders, she has no real political power (as opposed to Diana of Themyscria). If we (hoo boy) assume it’s Hawkwoman, Shayera Thal, then that might prevent a war between Earth and Thanagar. But again, there’s no political power from Hawkwoman. She was a cop. I can’t imagine Atlantis thinking “Hey, let’s have our king marry an alien cop! That’ll cement a union betwixt our people!” My money is on Orin and Diana.
    Now, I DO think “The ship never crashed” could be Kal-El, Abin Sur OR the Thanagarian ship that crashed in Ancient Egypt, leaving Nth metal in the kingdom of Prince Khufu. No Nth metal, no mojo behind the curse that keeps Carter and Shiera to reincarnate. Thus removing the Hawks from the timeline (in all oftheir many and various incarnations).
    Odds are the teaser is NOT refering to that ship. But you have to admit, that would take them out of the game pretty easily.

  18. RayA Says:

    This isn’t generating any interest for me so far — comes across like an Elseworlds story, not a big event. Maybe they’ll surprise us with something different, like a major character dying or another one coming back to life.

  19. Tim Says:

    “the one being experimented on” should be Martian manhunter.

  20. Rod Lee Says:

    Sweet!

  21. Rod Lee Says:

    “Maybe they’ll surprise us with something different, like a major character dying or another one coming back to life.” Is that meant as a joke? In every modern event someone dies. Secret Invasion already did both a death and return. Wasp died. Mockingbird returns. And that was weak.

  22. canicommentnow Says:

    Instead of Pokemon Lantern Corps we are getting Pokemon Flash Corps? Batman Flash, Superman Flash, Wonder Woman Flash, Black Manta Flash, etc..

  23. Johnny B. Says:

    They’re just finally finishing the expanded teams per each of the 7 lefendary Leaguers.

    The planet of Mars (well… not NOW), Amazons of Themyscria (when they’re in this dimension), the Army of Atlantis, the Green Lantern Corps. (now in fun, new rainbow flavors), World of Krypton (shhh! You’ll make Kal cry AGAIN), Batman Inc. and, coming soon: The Lightning League!!!
    “Every dark cloud has a silver lining. AND LIGHTNING!”

  24. Prof Zoom Says:

    The Reverse Flash got his powers by analyzing a one of Barry Allen’s Flash costumes. Flash #8 shows Zoom basically giving himself the Flash costume by leaving it for himself to almost trip over. My theory is that Zoom went back in time, stole one of Barry’s Flash rings (which stores his costume) and that was the costume he left for himself.
    Alot of people seem to be assuming this is a “Big 7″ event. As Geoff has mentioned this is a Flash event. Nice to see Thawne getting a big push in this story too.

  25. Araish Says:

    Saw the first logo and immediately thought of Bacardi.

  26. Joe Says:

    Alternate timelines isn’t new. And I’ve never been a fan of that schtick, but what really excites me about this crossover is Thawne’s new direction.

    In the past, as fanboys, we’ve always discussed why supetvillains who can travel through time never just kill the heroes as kids. Heck, both Marvel and DC even set up some “time travel rules” to prevent this from happening. But as seen in Booster Gold, some attempts slip through the cracks.

    Anyone who’s read Booster Gold can see the potential Zoom now has. Booster Gold himself has to pass himself off as incompetent and Rip Hunter can’t ever use his real name so no one kills him as a kid.

    Now, here’s a villain who can do this. Break through the rules. And succeed as seen in Flash 8 and Flash Rebirth. Some time themed guys in the past have tried this b

    While I worry it can be an excuse to retcon certain things, reading Booster Gold shows me this can be done well.

    I also hope this boosts Flash to the same heights that Green Lantern has reached. I like Supes, Bats and WW but I always felt DC shouldn’t center on the three of them. I mean, Marvel’s most popular characters are Spiderman and Wolverine but you don’t see the entire Marvel U revolving around them.

    Looking forward to Flashpoint!

  27. jeff Says:

    the experiment comment is Superman. the teaser image has a large guarded vault with the “S” shield on it

  28. Michael Says:

    I agree with Pat. The hero being experimented on in the teaseer is ad is Superman. Not Martian Manhunter.

    There’s a Flashpoint ad out there of the Flash running towards you, with other images in the background. One of those images is a bunch of armed guards in front of a door with the Superman logo on it.

    That means that the spaceship that never landed is Abin Sur’s, meaning that Hal Jordan never becomes Green Lantern.

  29. hondobrode Says:

    Looking forward to this ! Agreed that this is probably going to lead to the Big 7 JLA again.

  30. Michael Says:

    These look to be fun and that why we read comics right people

  31. Steven Says:

    That almost looks like the Martian Manhunter’s logo (IE the planet Mars) behind the Batsymbol. That was my first reaction.

  32. Ben Says:

    I think the “Their marriage was arranged” tag is meant to apply seperately to the W and the A shapes.

    The W looks more like wings than the classic Wonder Woman shape – I think this is for Hawkman/Hawkgirl, and the A applies to Aquaman and Mera.

    WW and Aquaman? looks more like a hollywood marriage than action to prevent war.

  41. Walton Chuh Says:

    I don’t know why they call it heartbreak. It feels like every other part of my body is broken too.

  42. BraveDave Says:

    Seems to me the teasers are as follows:
    1) Superman:
    - The government Experimented on him for years –
    - The top of the Teaser image shows armed guards infront of the vault with the ‘S’ sheild.
    This makes Supes a bit of a wild card in this story.

    2) Green lantern:
    - the Spaceship Never crashed – so Hal never became a green lantern
    - The Teaser image has a white cloved fist with a white lantern ring
    So perhaps Hal becomes the White Lantern of Earth

    3) Batman:
    - “He spends his days running Wayne casino’s”. which leaves his nights to be Batman i presume. No word as to whether or not this is Bruce or Dick.
    - The teaser image has Batman with his face covered and red eyes.
    - Also the teaser logo has a red ciricle behing it. Perhaps forshadowing the Red Lantern Corps.
    Perhaps Batman is a villain in this story??

    4) Wonder Woman and Aquaman
    - “Their marriage was arranged to prevent war” Perhaps Diana and Arthur, Perhaps WoderGirl and Aqualad??
    - The teaser poster shows WonderWoman (in modified armor on the left with BigBen in Flames.
    - The left side of the Teaser poster shows Paris (Eifle Toewer) flooded
    Did the Atlantian/Amazons conquer Europe???
    - Also, the teaser logos above show the wonder woman symbol in front of a violet circle, and the Aquaman symbol with a blue circle possibly referencing the Violet and Blue Lantern Corps.
