This is the dumb crap I hated about the DC universe where there were a bunch of different "earths". Why can't everything happen in the same universe...or even timeline?
Because then you can't have things like Age of Apocalypse or Days of the Future Past for something a little more contemporary. You can't have it both ways.
Haven't looked recently. I need to sign up again sometime this month, I just haven't had the time to read the comics.
