Yep, part of Morrison's worldbuilding on old Kirby stuff. This was a scene in Multiversity for example:
The Darkseid at the end of FC that Superman shatters by singing is the closest we've gotten to the "true" Darkseid.

The Flash
Kind of a disappointment after the Batman issue, but necessary and wasn't anything bad, just kind of meh.
Biggest takeaway that is just kind of skipped over:
Suicide Squad
Finally we get JRJR off this book and we get a full actual issue and it's great!
JLA
I'm out, I think I only like when Orlando writes Midnighter...
Detective Comics
This issue had some moments...but man I really wasn't a fan of the action and the forced story book aspect. The action was mostly incomprehensible and just splashes to have exposition boxes for the forced story basically with Cassandra as the main character. Really didn't dig this overall.

Why does Barry refer to his mothers murder as a cold case? It was never a cold case and there was no mention of his father being falsely accused which is always the go to talking point. Has stuff changed with Thawne dying possibly?

Oh god, the Flash Rogues' CMX sale has the issue where Flash grows fat on the cover we talked about a few days back.
damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, a month for that wow. Least he will be back in time for E3.
and no idea what he did
So do we have a real insider in comixology this time?

Yeah, that's kind of how I felt. It was necessary but felt like an info dump following an exciting start.
I feel like King said "Nah, you go ahead and handle the heavy lifting."

Yeah, I agree. It just feels like a comedown on an event after the first issue. Still good though.
Mentioned above but I'm really curious why
Barry says his mothers murder was a cold case. As far as I know it was never a cold case and they didn't even mention the whole father falsely accused thing. Makes me wonder if stuff changed with Thawne dying.
There are so many easter eggs in
I wonder how much of that was in the script and how much was just Porter going nuts?
the Watchtower vault. Things I remember off the top of my head: Ted's Bug, Atomic Knight Batman costume, Lobo's hook chain thing, Hourman and Star Spangled Kid costumes, a GL ring in a jar, Martian Manhunter's classic costume, and what looked like Barda's Mega Rod.

Same. It wasn't front and center, but it was extremely visible.
Yep, can't believe I forgot that.

Why would I lie about something so amazing?
That struck me as odd too.

Flash Rebirth and I think Manapul's Flash (New 52)
both had it that Barry was the only one working on the case, basically whenever he had free time. But it wasn't ever technically open.

But wasn't that just to disprove that his father was the killer? If his father was falsely accused it would never be cold or open, he would just be trying to work it on his own to disprove it.
Just calling it a cold case and not mentioning the father aspect seems strange.

What's the best way to catch up on Rebirth series? Should I just read each issue of a series up until current and then move on to the next? As an example, 1-20 of the flash, then 1-20 of batman, and so on.. Or should I read in trade format, ie 1-5 of the flash then 1-5 batman, plus all the others I want to read, then the flash 6-10 and so on from there?

Besides a couple books(Batman, Nightwing, Detective, JL, SS) and a couple issues specifically(Monster Men, JL vs SS) you could go either way really. Monster Men didn't really have much effect on the books other than leading into Batwoman and JL vs SS mostly just lead into JLA.

Doom Patrol was great again. Gonna have to re-read it since the arc is finished now so I can really absorb it. Really liking the brisk pacing it has especially. A lot of team comics now kind of meander and take too long to get into the action but this one moved pretty quickly.
Casey is a great addition to the team too.

JL and SS are on my list so I might read up until that then just knock each series off at a time after it.

See I don't remember
them mentioning his dad in thos versions.

Oh, this I wouldn't know about. The way it's been used recently with Rebirth and other media I just assumed it was a main stay like Uncle Ben.
If I remember right, it wasn't a thing in the comics until the original Flash Rebirth mini by Johns and EvS.

Damn this new Hulk book. Five straight issues of teases and not a (she)Hulk in sight.

I lost count how many times I thought, "the next issue is gonna have her transform."

This is a really great overview on the challenges facing Marvel and publishers reliant on characters instead of creators owned titles in general.
Now that i think about it, why is all the secert empire marketing about joining hydra, instead of being apart of the resistance?

Because Nick Spencer sees no real distinction between those two positions so why not go for the guys with the logo?
