1994 continues the trend started in the previous year. Wonder Woman loses her title to Artemis of Bana-Mighdall, Hal Jordan goes mad clearing the stage for Kyle Rayner, and Green Arrow meets his son, Connor Hawke. The Flash comics are refreshed with Impulse, the grandson of Barry Allen from the future. DC attempts to re-align its continuity with Zero Hour: Crisis in Time!, which establishes a new, fixed timeline and removes some early confusing stories from continuity.
