During the Darkseid War, three versions of the Joker were revealed as well as Wonder Woman having a twin brotherwhile the Final Days of Superman saw the death of the New 52 Superman.

The
second chapter Legacy explores the Justice Society of America, Legion of
Super-Heroes, the Microverse and the death of Pandora who brought the New 52
together. She was heavily marketed and her appearance was in every New 52 first
issue in 2011. Her death will bring cheers for DC fans.

Aquaman are reconnecting their past loves including Wally West and Linda Park.

fourth chapter Life sees Wally West and the New 52 version who are revealed to
be cousins. Wally meets the New 52 Flash to say goodbye and to let him know
someone has infected history to make people forget. Barry remembers Wally and
brings him back while remembering the past. The finale reveals they are being
watched and they are the ones who are behind the missing heroes, history, and
legacies: Alan Moore’s Watchmen.
Feedback Writer Geoff Johns
begins the story by relating to the readers on what it is like to have read the
New 52 for the past five years where forgotten heroes, legacies, and history
which created a foundation of great stories were all erased. It was been
revealed the stories within the Rebirth titles will build to an event in August
2018. DC fans would return to the company after reading this issue. It brings
an optimistic and hopeful DC Universe back as well as preparing them for the
incorporation of the Watchmen universe in 2018.
