History ComicBook / TheNew52FuturesEnd

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Despite changing the past, Tim Drake finds that the future refused to change and Brother Eye still rules the world. Yet, some of the heroes previously under Eye's control never were converted, and save Tim and Mr. Terrific. Tim and an older Madison reunite and there still might be hope to change the future. Solicitations for a Batman Beyond future for the main DC universe imply that they just might. Unfortunately, the fact that Brother Eye continues to rule the world makes some believe this to be a case of NoEnding leading into the ''Comicbook/BatmanBeyondRebirth'' series]].

* ChekhovsGun / ChekhovsSkill / MeaningfulEcho: Nearly every page of the chronologically BackToFront {{Comicbook/Grayson}} tie-in has one of these. [[spoiler:They're used to show how Grayson's apparent death on the first page was faked.]]

** [[spoiler:Many of the heroes stopping Brainiac and his Blood Moon from abducting New York City in this timeline leads to him failing to return to his base on Telos, where he has his other worlds stored. This, as well as inadvertent goading from a post ''Doomed'' Superman leads to Telos itself [[Comicbook/{{Convergence}} deciding which of his master's worlds is most fit to survive...]]]]

*** [[spoiler: As it turns out, [[Comicbook/{{Convergence}}the answer was neither.]]]]

* AdaptationalAbomination: [[spoiler:Zig-Zagged. Brainiac has always been skirting the line between just [[AIIsACrapshoot an evil and powerful but ultimately normal AI]] and a more eldritch DigitalAbomination. However Futures End suggests that the DigitalAbomination form we've seen of him is only a fraction of the real Brainiac, which is now an unambiguous EldritchAbomination existing outside of time and space, akin to true nature of the ''ComicBook/NewGods'']]

** Frankenstein attached the head and apparently the vocal chords of ComicBook/BlackCanary to his torso, allowing him to utilize her [[MakeMeWannaShout Canary Cry]] at will.

Thirty-odd years into the future, and Brother Eye and its relentless army of [=OMACs=] have taken over the entire world. The few superheroes left are being hunted down and turned by the satellite, one-by-one. But Batman has a plan: he's going to prevent this nightmare world from ever happening, by time-traveling to before Brother Eye began its conquest. However, due to events going out of control, his protégée Terry [=McGinnis=] has to take up the task instead.

* KillEmAll:
** The Teen Titans were apparently killed to a man in the Battle of Paris, fighting Parademons. Red Robin was the last to fall ([[spoiler:though his death at least is faked]]).
** Most of Stormwatch is wiped out, with only four survivors.
** Meanwhile, in space, most of the Green Lantern Corps has been killed by [[spoiler:a revived Krona]].

* BuryYourGays: Midnighter and Apollo are still part of Stormwatch, and Midnighter is killed off by [[spoiler:Brainiac]].

* IllBoy: Earth-2 Jimmy Olsen. By the time of the tie-in issue, he's apparently been confined to a wheelchair.

* BuryYourGays: Midnight and Apollo are still part of Stormwatch, and Midnight is killed off by [[spoiler:Brainiac]].

* CallBack: Lex Luthor is [[ComicBook/ForeverEvil still trying to recreate Bizarro]].

** Apparently Lex's HeelFaceTurn after ComicBook/ForeverEvil didn't last.

* MarySue: Invoked and parodied with Fifty Sue, a {{Portmanteau}} of ''ComicBook/FiftyTwo'' and Mary Sue.
