It hasn't been stated so-but with the rumored soft-relaunches this fall it's a possibility. She's always been on a ticking timer with her cancer.

This is just a prelude to the (sigh) main Watchmen/DCU event, coming... late this year? Next year?
Or perhaps the first of several such preludes.

It wasn't officially.
No but it's probably something similar to Superman's Rebirth story.

Is there any required reading going into this? My knowledge is periphery of DC post-Rebirth.

You only really need to read the DC Universe Rebirth one shot.

Flashpoint, Rebirth #1 and probably the latest Flash issue where Reverse remembers dying.

I think I've read Flashpoint. In any case, I've seen the animated movie. I'll pick up Rebirth #1 and Flash digitally when I get paid.

I'm in for pre n52 Thawne.
As for Tim, only reason I can think of for him being held by Oz is that he's probably one of the likeliest people in the DCU to piece things together. No idea why that would necessitate snatching him from the Beyond timeline, though.

Please tell me they didn't fuck with Watchmen the way I was thinking they would.

Saw spoilers on Comic vine
Reverse-Flash invades the Bat-cave and beats the shit out of Batman ?
Yes. This part is true. The holy shit moment is the last 3 pages.

I'm intrigued, to say the least. Maybe for the wrong reasons.

Okay, wow. I was expecting

raving?
This was a brilliant issue. Jason Fabok's art is so good.
Reverse Flash to stick around for longer than one issue
Saturn Girl's

Just popped up or me on Comixology. Read it instantly.
As I said earlier, I'm not the biggest fan of King's Batman but this was a really good isue. No major reveal so far but some interesting twists and turns and the main fight was great. Batman wasn't the prep time Bat-god but he was still a resourceful bastard against
. Also, the blond woman in Arkham is
, right?
And a great job by Fabok obviously.
Oh and we're getting a Batman / Shadow mini by Snyder according to an ad? Will definitely check it out.

No, but given the events of Superman and Actiom Comics I'd say you could hazard a guess. I sincerely doubt even Johns on his A Game would come up with a more suitable explanation.

What if.... The darkness is the DCEU and the last panel of the event is Manhattan saying "Snyder, you're fired."
I know... I know... Low hanging fruit...

Sometimes the references are so unsubtle they pass you by completely
Fabok's art continues to be wonderful. Excited to see where this goes.

Absolutely. It was staring me in the face.
But man, what a great way to portray all of the characters involved.
The Flash
being able to say "I'll wrap this up and see you in a minute"
and actually mean it

Batman
keeping track of the time elapsed in the middle of a fight to the death
Reverse Flash with
flurries of punches contained within a second
This is how you make a comic book, god damn. Firing on all cylinders.

I thought it effectively sold the terrifying power of Reverse-Flash, especially when you realise those ten or so pages unfolded in real-time over a minute.
I wasn't sure what to expect from Batman this week, but King and Fabok did not disappoint. I'm really going to be surprised if

and what role he's going to play in all this.
we don't get a closing shot on Saturn Girl in Arkham with a trickle of blood splattered down the smiley face on the wall

He's probably my favorite current comic book artist.

Anyway, I thought the issue was intense. Can't wait to see what's next.
RE: your spoiler
Thanks to solicits we know he survives, the Flash arc following the Button is about Thawne
There's

Every page has at least one. Even Thawne becomes one after Batman spits blood on him.

I typically avoid solicits, but knowing that, I'm even more interested in seeing where this event goes.
I noticed the subtle ones; it was the super obvious

Is this out on digital already? Aw man, wonder if I should wait until it's complete or not, probably gonna get spoiled to death if I do.

Yeah, it's out.
As I said in my impressions, I will be amazed if we don't see the super obvious one again.
My favorite visuals were
the hockey stick and center ice as the watch face
the panels with yellow backgrounds and Bats and Thawne in silhouette and the only other color is red from blood and on Thawne's costume.

Disappointed as hell that
Reverse Flash died already.
I loved that
i was expecting it.
Didn't notice all the Watchmen similarities until I saw an article on cbr.
I did think it seemed a little short, but I feel like it set the stage well. Looking forward to the rest of it.
Barry was late.
It's been known that despite being the fastest man alive he is always late.
