** Though ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' won some back, it lost it with ''Heroes in Crisis'' and ''Year of the Villain'' which saw the universe return to grimdark edginess and many beloved returns evaporating. Though, ''ComicBook/DarkNightsDeathMetal'' ends with an ''anti-crisis'' that undoes all changes to DC history, thus meaning that previous continuity is all now back. Naturally, fans are now pretending that the ten years between the ''Flashpoint'' and ''Death Metal'' storylines ''never'' happened, which is made easier by how much the status quo has reset to something that could easily be seen as picking right up from where they left off. About the only exceptions is a few EnsembleDarkhorse BreakoutCharacter types introduced during this time, such as [[ComicBook/GreenLanterns Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz]], [[ComicBook/TheFlashRebirth Wallace West and Avery Ho]], [[ComicBook/SupermanRebirth Jon Kent/Superboy]], etc. The fact these characters can easily fit into the old continuity without changing anything is probably a big reason for that.
