Barry Allen was once haunted by the past. But when he became the Flash, he left the ghosts behind. He found love, a family, and for the first time ever... friends. Barry thought yesterday was behind him... but somebody wouldn't let him escape it. When Barry came to me for help, I turned him away. I'm not the hero of this story. I'm a man who's been corrupted by his own unbearable pain. I'm a man who has too much blood on his hands to be called good. I'm a man who had nothing left to live for-- until the day I met the Flash. Your friend taught me we can't only live a life for those we've lost. We have to live a life for those we still have. If I got a second chance, I would hope I'd come to understand that. To live that... like you should, Bruce. That's all parents want for their children. What we never had. Your mother and I want you to be happy. Promise me you'll try. And I will too.. wherever I am. Love always, your father-- Thomas.

— Batman (Thomas Wayne)

Notes

• Final issue.
• The whole content of Thomas Wayne's Letter from Flashpoint (Volume 2) #5 is finally revealed in this issue.
• The timeline of Earth 0 is altered by the return of The Thirteen, including Judy Garrick.
  • The return of the Thirteen was already foreshadowed in many past stories which implies that the new, altered timeline was already replacing the old one.
  • The consequences of the Thirteen's return are first explored in The New Golden Age #1.
• Nostalgia's storyline is also continued in The New Golden Age #1.
  • Although it is not clearly stated, "The Watchman" she is targeting is actually Clark Dreiberg, the heir to Doctor Manhattan's Anti-Crisis Energy.
    • This is later confirmed in an interview by Geoff Johns himself, and, eventually, in The New Golden Age #1.

Trivia

• Rip Hunter's words foreshadow many future events:
  • "Batman will soon face his mother's family" is a reference to the Orgham Family and the Gotham Nocturne storyline whose beginning in Detective Comics #1062 takes place a few months after the events of this issue.
  • The Time Masters states that he prays that the Thirteen will be restored "without any incident" which foreshadows the events of Stargirl: The Lost Children (Volume 1);
  • Hunter saying that the JSA is about to face Degaton is a reference to the events of The New Golden Age #1 as well as Justice Society of America (Volume 4).
    • Per Degaton was already shown preparing himself to face the JSA in Stargirl Spring Break Special #1.
• Cleopatra Pak made her first appearance in the epilogue of Doomsday Clock #12 where Doctor Manhattan heralded her becoming Nostalgia in the future.
• Snapper Carr's H-Dial form is inspired by Human Starfish, one of the superhero forms of Pre-Flashpoint Robert Reed, the first H-Dial user.
