Warning! Spoilers ahead for Flashpoint Beyond #0

Coming from a new issue, DC Comics now has its own version of Marvel's Sacred Timeline. Thanks to the new Flashpoint Beyond #0 from Geoff Johns and Eduardo Risso, Batman has discovered a series of clues left behind by Rip Hunter and the Time Masters (not to be confused with Marvel's TVA and the Time-Keepers). While the Dark Knight found some major teases and hints for the future, likely written down by Hunter himself, Batman also found a record of something resembling DC's own version of time and space that has been potentially been maintained and preordained (not unlike Marvel's Sacred Timeline created by He Who Remains).

Believed to have been wiped from existence after DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Time Masters of the Silver Age used to be a distant memory. However, Rip Hunter and his Time Sphere would live on to travel time and space throughout the publisher's subsequent reboots, every now and then leaving a chalkboard with clues for the future based upon Rip's knowledge of the timeline. Now, Batman has just discovered an abandoned hideout featuring the classic chalkboard with all-new teases (along with the remains of Rip's Time Sphere).

That being said, the most interesting thing Batman found was a notebook with recordings about the "Divine Continuum" (get it?). A new term presumedly in line with Marvel's Sacred Timeline, the Divine Continuum looks like it's a preordained layout of time and space as it's meant to exist in DC Comics. Space and time are divided into the known regions of the DC Omniverse and Hypertime respectively, though Batman's investigations are seemingly threatening its stability along with the actions of his father Thomas Wayne in the Flashpoint reality which somehow exists once more (likely due to Infinite Frontier).

The accusations that Bruce and Thomas' actions are disruptive and damaging are coming from none other than young Corky Baxter, a Time Master who's seemingly returned to the DC continuity looking just as he did in the Silver Age. Again, this is likely due to the Infinite Frontier reboot where everything now matters and exists in DC's continuity once more. As such, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that the Divine Continuum is maintained and protected by Rip Hunter and the Time Masters, something which could very well be confirmed as Flashpoint Beyond continues.

While Thomas Wayne is actively trying to erase Flashpoint once more, it's unclear what Bruce is up to beyond simply investigating the Time Masters and the Divine Continuum. Is there something going on that shouldn't be? It wouldn't be surprising to learn that Rip and the Time Masters are harboring secrets for Batman to uncover. In any case, Flashpoint Beyond #0 has begun quite the mystery along with the introduction of DC Comics' version of the "Sacred Timeline" concept.
