"why do we separate New Earth from Prime Earth if it is the same case?"

It's not the same case. The point of the Flashpoint/Manhattan reboots was to deliberately differentiate between recent versions of the same characters. The differentiation process has resulted in a ton of characters that are distinct enough to now require separate wikipedia entries. So that's what we've got now.

What we had back before this: The point of the COIE/Zero Hour reboots was to streamline and simplify and standardize DC's stable of characters. The simplification process, back in the day, resulted in a ton of old characters whose backstories were deliberately blurred together.

So present case is different from the former case. Stoop Davy Dave (talk) 00:05, April 20, 2018 (UTC)
