Sheridan: And that's an interesting thing that Flashpoint gives us too, which is that, if it was the Thomas Wayne who was killed on Park Row, would Bruce know that man as well as he knows the Thomas Wayne who is Batman? He probably projects a bunch of stuff on him and doesn't really understand him. Nrama: So it’s like the distinction between having knowledge of someone and having faith in them? Because Bruce has faith in his father, right? Johns: And what's more important to know? What's more important is to know is how someone's going to react emotionally and deal with it. Sheridan: Also, how many people have made the mistake of thinking they know more than Bruce in any given situation? Hypertime is emotion, the Omniverse is fact.

Well, factually, Rip does, but Bruce knows more emotionally. Johns: Rip thinks he knows more than Bruce, but Bruce knows more. Whereas Bruce thinks that, no matter what's going on in there, his father is eventually going to have to face it and accept it. He thinks Thomas is going to reject this organ like it's not going to work and that's going to detonate this timeline, which is going to erupt and tumble into our world and cause all sorts of chaos. He says it's like a body rejecting an organ. He knows she's in there and he knows Bruce doesn't know that.Īnd he also knows what’s going to happen if Flashpoint continues to exist. Rip knows more because he can look at the timelines. Geoff Johns: Yeah, they know that the Flashpoint timeline involves a world where Bruce Wayne was killed and that Thomas Wayne is put back into that world.

Sheridan: They're focused on bigger things, though, too, I think. I think he knows that what Bruce is doing is really crazy, whatever that might be. Jeremy Adams: I bet we're all going to have different opinions.Īdams: I think Batman knows and I think Rip knows. But just how much do they know? For example, does Bruce Wayne know about the Clockwork Killer? We know that the characters in the Flashpoint Universe are aware of those in the main continuity, and vice versa.
