Wait, but around that time was when DC killed their continuity ro reboot.
Kill off the multiverse because it's 'too confusing'

>I still have no idea what Donna Troy’s actual origin is
Silver Age Wonder Woman used to have trippy time travel adventures with herself as a teen and a baby, and her mom.
DC Editors weren't paying attention and someone decided to use "Wonder Woman's infrequently used sidekick from those goofy covers" in a teen team with the other sidekicks of Aquaman, Batman, Flash and Green Arrow.
Eventually someone caught on to the fact that "Wonder Girl" didn't really exist, so they created Donna Troy, a girl adopted by the Amazons as Diana's friend. But after Crisis, Wonder Woman kept getting new origins with every creative team, which fucked up Donna every time.

DC has never properly rebooted

Martian Manhunter was abducted as a child from Mars by Lex Luthor's dad and experimented on. He and kid Lex befriend each other until Vandal Savage mindwipes everyone. Snyder doesn't really know how sentences work so as he tells this story he replaces every fourth word with "Doom"

What the fuck?

Final Crisis tried to do a soft reset that was meant to just clean some things up, but instead they decided to reset the entire DCU, with the exception of the Green Lantern and Batman books. Absolutely brilliant.

CoIE was to solve the problem that there were multiple continuities, and they fixed it by *making* the Multiverse. It would be like if our current multiverse was all the exact same Earth but just a little bit different; it wasnt like our current multiverse which can actually be used for stories.

Bill Maher was right.

>What changed?
It's as simple as thinking comic book readers were simplistic and couldn't understand things like the multiverse or time travel.
However, after years of far more popular culture, on both film and tv (and even books) like Terminator, Harry Potter and more, it's perfectly fine to go there - so they should, and have.

"Alternate universes" is a great way to use designs and origins that don't involve paying out royalties that were negotiated thirty years ago.
