Over at CBR, they reported on a couple things announced at The Source concerning Flashpoint. Chief among them being in addition to the main 5-part Flashpoint series(and presumably corresponding Flash issues, a la Blackest Night/Green Lantern), there will be at least 15 mini-series, under a number of different "Whatever Happened To" headings, and a number of one-shots. They announced the titles of 14 of the 15 minis, which give a little more credence to some of the theories coming out of the teaser images.
Whatever Happened to Gotham City?
FLASHPOINT: BATMAN KNIGHT OF VENGEANCE #1-#3
FLASHPOINT: DEADMAN AND THE FLYING GRAYSONS #1-#3
Whatever Happened to the World’s Greatest Super Villains?
FLASHPOINT: CITIZEN COLD #1-#3
FLASHPOINT: DEATHSTROKE & THE CURSE OF THE RAVAGER #1-#3
FLASHPOINT: THE OUTSIDER #1-#3
Whatever Happened to the Aliens?
FLASHPOINT: ABIN SUR THE GREEN LANTERN #1-#3
FLASHPOINT: PROJECT: SUPERMAN #1-#3
Whatever Happened to Science & Magic?
FLASHPOINT: FRANKENSTEIN & THE CREATURES OF THE UNKNOWN #1-#3
FLASHPOINT: SECRET SEVEN #1-#3
Whatever Happened to Europe?
FLASHPOINT: EMPEROR AQUAMAN #1-#3
FLASHPOINT: WONDER WOMAN AND THE FURIES #1-#3
FLASHPOINT: LOIS LANE AND THE RESISTANCE #1-#3
Everything You Know Will Change in a Flash
FLASHPOINT: THE WORLD OF FLASHPOINT #1-#3
The most obvious one to me is that "Abin Sur, The Green Lantern" tends to support the theory that "The spaceship never crashed" is in reference to his spaceship and not Superman's. "Project: Superman" can also easily refer to him being the subject of "They experimented on him in a lab for years".
No creators have been announced for any of these, but I'd be surprised if Johns, or at least one of his frequent collaborators like Tomasi, doesn't write the Green Lantern book.
I hadn't expected this event to get this big. As it is, between 14 confirmed series of three issues a piece, another that we know will be at least two issues, several one-shots, for which I'll assume there will at least be three, five issues of the Flashpoint series, and a safe assumption of at least 4 issues of The Flash mean at the very least we're going to have 56 books to get the whole story, and in all likelihood that's a very conservative estimate.
I would imagine that, given the altered reality of the story, that the chances of it crossing over into other ongoings is pretty low, at least.
