The road to DOOMSDAY CLOCK begins here. During the unforgettable events of DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH, Batman found a mystery he canÕt even begin to solveÑa strange bloodstained smiley-face button embedded in the Batcave wall. All analysis suggests the button is not of this universe...so where did it come from? And who left it here? These are questions only the Flash can help answer. When the button is stolen by Reverse-Flash, Batman and Flash follow his trail to a parallel world, a twisted alternate timeline that shouldnÕt exist. Someone is sending the heroes on a bizarre trip through reality, showing them glimpses of fallen loved ones and forgotten friendsÑbut who? Wally West warned the Flash of an unseen force influencing our worldÑdistorting histories, pulling the strings, watching allÑand the strange yellow button could be the key to finding it. Featuring the all-star creative team of writers Joshua Williamson and Tom King alongside top-tier artists Jason Fabok and Howard Porter, BATMAN/THE FLASH: THE BUTTON collects BATMAN #21-22 and THE FLASH #21-22. The road to DOOMSDAY CLOCK begins here!

In 2016, the DC Universe Rebirth one shot teased the incorporation of Alan Moore‘s Watchmen characters into the mainline DCU, specifically that Dr. Manhattan had been screwing with the DCU‘s timeline with his god-like abilities.

2017‘s 4-issue The Button was the next big tease, and just about all it does is tease, but it told a pretty good Batman/Flash story with some fantastic Howard Porter art for what it‘s worth.

This book will either amaze or infuriate. See the button in question is a certain blood stained smiley face most recognised from Alan Moore classic book watchman. Hints are dropped (you can guess what the numerous blue lighting effects imply). This also ties into the flashpoint storyline from a few years back which was nice. I really liked it. I love watchman, but I‘m ok with sitting back and seeing how this story progresses if they write it well!
