User blog comment:SHTR/A possible way to handle the DCnU and the Original DCU/@comment-1038387-20110920180238/@comment-1387629-20110923171928

As much as we'd like to think that the DCnU is a new universe, even by virtue of name. It's already been established that all that is happening is happening on New Earth; no alternative universes, no future or past tense, no event nor any going back from here. This is just an altered timeline from Flashpoint and now we've got ourselves new stories for our favorite characters.

Understandably there are major differences but they should be discussed and summarized for the new sections on their pages and not make more buttons or new pages for characters that are similar or dissimilar to pre-Flashpoint New Earth.

Examples of people who have changed (drastically): Superman, Wonder Woman, Oracle. Examples of people who haven't changed at all: GLC, LoSH, Blue Beetle.

The fact that there are examples of both proves the point that's been established by the industry already; it's New Earth and it's going stay that way.
