Impressive.

I had no idea that Johns introduced Mr. Oz back in June of '14. The wheels were already in motion two years prior to Rebirth.

Excellent list and thank you.

It appears DC has made the previous "events" and/or re-boots to be relevant to the current DC stories. This would be retailer friendly

Learn a lesson Marvel!!

Batman (2016) #21
Release date: 2017-04-19
Category: Core
Summary:
PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:
The Button Part 1: The Comedian's button is placed next to Psycho Pirate's mask in the Batcave. Lighting sparks between the two revealing Thomas Wayne's Batman from Flashpoint to Batman. Pre-New52 Reverse-Flash soon appears, and, after defeating Batman, steals the button. After disappearing, Reverse-Flash soon reappears moments later, without the button, claiming to have seen God. Reverse-Flash dies.

Other Notes: Saturn Girl is in Arkham at the beginning with dialogue eerily similar to Rorschach's from Watchmen (http://www.newsarama.com/34123-best-sho ... an-21.html)
Doctormo, if this works, then copy and paste it to your summary. I will add the next few.
