"The Clockwork Killer, Chapter Five: The Joke's on Me": The synopsis for this issue has not yet been written.

Quote1 While the skies turn red for all to witness when the Omniverse is under siege by the various interuniversal despots, the Crises involving Hypertime remain hidden from the public. The everyday world has little to no awareness of the wars over time... because in the aftermath, time paves over them. Quote2
— Bonnie Baxter

Notes

  • This issue reveals that Flashpoint Beyond takes place exactly two days after the ending of Dark Crisis.[1]
  • Many concepts of the DC Universe are explained by Bonnie Baxter in this issue:
    • The Divine Continuum is the total representation of existence inside the DC Comics which is composed of the Infinite Frontier/"Omniverse" (Space Aspect) and Hypertime (Time Aspect);
    • Zero Hour was the first Crisis to affect both sides of the Divine Continuum;
    • The experience of memories from other timelines, which has been a common theme throughout the DC Rebirth and Infinite Frontier eras, is a natural phenomenon, known as Mandela Effect, and a side-effect of the temporal changes due to the Crises involving Time;
    • Bonnie Baxter confirms Doctor Manhattan's words[2] about the Multiverse shaping itself around the Metaverse;
    • All the Alternate Timelines, Possible Futures and Hypertime worlds keep existing despite the constant cycle of Death and Rebirth of the Multiverse. On the contrary, these changes give birth to new timelines inside Hypertime.
  • Flashpoint Martha confirms that Jeannie and the Joker's son[3] still exist on Earth 0 and suggests that his real identity is Jack Oswald White which, however, has never been confirmed in any other story.
    • However, despite Jeannie and her son's existence, it will later revealed[4] that the events of Batman: Three Jokers (Volume 1) never happened in the reborn continuity where the Three Jokers are just Joker's alternate personalities.
  • Ra's al Ghul is revealed to be alive despite having been killed by Brion Markov in Shadow War: Alpha #1.
