Just a thought that I had: DC largely treats them as the same timeline now, would we merge them? Probably not but I wanted to hear what others think.

I will never consider anything from PE canon to NE.
Why :/
Not really, mainly because the New 52 is still canon to an extent, and with that come a lot of changes and additions to the lore that don't really fit in with how it was on New Earth (ex Batman: Year Zero, Lex being a goverment contractor which seems to be returning as an aspect of the character in Williamson's run, Wallace West's existance, Cyborg utilising Apokoliptian tech, the Shazam family etc)
So yes, even if tons of New Earth elements have made their grant returns, I think that it's undoubtable that we're still in Prime Earth territory
Still, if DC were to try and make a timeline that'd explore how certain events overlap (like Cyborg being both a Justice Leaguer and a Titan, when Jon Kent was born, the life story of Lex Luthor from the son of Smallville's resident alien expirementor to superhero to government contractor to landowner to the man we know now), i'd really be keen on reading it
Following whatever DC says usually creates more problems than it solves.
Speaking of which, i dont understand why Prime Earth is counted as a new timeline because of edited histories when there are retcon to characters origin stories prior to that and they still count as New Earth?
Because Flashpoint was a hard reboot of the entire timeline. Even Zero Hour wasn't as complete.
How much of New Earth is even canon? I wanna see my classic Harley >:(
Also this is still unclear but does untouched New Earth still exist in the multiverse? It seems like a "Definitive Earth" and I want it to be around. The way I see it: E2 is a prototype Earth, E1 is vintage, NE is classic, and Prime is modern, and I know Pre-Crisis 1 and 2 exist out there, what about NE?
What about Earths 4, S, and X, the other three that combined with 1 and 2 to make up New Earth?
I thought they had merged into one
What do you think?
