I would like to second this man’s confusion. Is this a reference to something specific, or just comics’ constant attempts to raise the stakes over and over again, in general?
I’m pretty sure it’s referring specifically to tv adaptations, where at the end of each season we get yet another “mind blowing” revelation to entice us to catch the next season. It wears out after a while.
A lot of DC events lately are meant to reset the universe, so there’s not so much cruft and backstory for new readers to catch up on, much like what Crisis on Infinite Earths did.
Which is fine, but maybe not every three years, and the events themselves usually have garbage writing…
Crisis was the only one that actually did what it said on the tin, tbh. All the subsequent ‘resets’ seemed to have been ways of poorly patching up continuity errors caused by preceding ‘events’.
Hah, it took me a minute to pick up the salt in this.
I’m not sure what do you mean. I have not checked comics recently.

Considering the overbearing nonsense going on the latest two decades … Yes.
Or, in other words, It is a reference to all the latest “Crisises” in general, including some of Marvels.

No. It’s definitely referring to the comics. Where every year-long ‘event’ is followed by another year-long ‘event’
And despite all the core-shaking and upside downing, things always seem to revert to something suspiciously like the status quo.

Who is this guy and why is he playing a very similar character as FlyingFox Man?
Maybe because FlyingFoxMan can’t convincingly do that kind of angst, and existential crisis, after everything we’ve seen of him anyway.
Oh please, Martian Bathunter is nothing like Flying Fox Man. ;-)
If everything he knows will be turned upside-down for a second time, then presumably they’re right-way up again :-)
But also thrown around a bit and in a disorganised mess.
“There is no way I’m not gonna finish my fruit-smoothie, before going to find that C-lister’s conveniently positioned corpse…”
Sigh.
I miss the days where drastic change wasn’t done for shock value.
I was done when Nightwing was shot in the head.
