DC Comics Event Flashpoint Beyond To Include The Watchmen, But NOT The Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons Version?!

Newsarama reports.

…The upcoming Flashpoint Beyond limited series, which revives the name and some of the characters of the 2011 event that rebooted the DC Universe into the ‘New 52’ era, is written by Geoff Johns, who’s now bringing Mime and Marionette into the new story – a pair of characters he used extensively in the recent Doomsday Clock event which brought together the core DC Universe and the world of Watchmen….

…”Collaborating with Eduardo has been a dream my entire career,” writer Geoff Johns states along with the preview pages.

“The chance to work on a story with such an iconic and legendary artist, centered around the troubled Thomas Wayne, made returning to the world of Flashpoint and its vengeful Batman special,” he continues. “Our goal was to create an event that’s every bit as emotional as it is epic, not only revealing the how’s and why’s of Thomas Wayne’s returning timeline but what it means to the past, present and future of Bruce Wayne and DC. We hope readers enjoy the ride.”

Flashpoint Beyond #0 is due out April 5.

Looks like the next generation Watchmen of Mime and Marionette from Doomsday Clock will have an impact on this event and perhaps Dark Crisis? Will the other Watchmen fall suit?
