History YMMV / ZeroHourCrisisInTime

* CommonKnowledge: It's thought by many people that the "World's End" arc in ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'' was a tie-in into ''Zero Hour'', including [[https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Zero_Hour the DC Wiki]] and [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Lewis Lovhaug]], expect, as [[https://heykidscomics.fandom.com/wiki/The_Sandman:_Worlds%27_End as pointed out]] by the "Hey, Kids, Comics" wiki, the timeline of events don't add up to that: "World's End" was published in 1993 -- a full year before ''Zero Hour'' (1994). It's far more likely that the reality storm that caused the events of "World's End" was due to the following arc, "The Kindly Ones", [[spoiler:where the titular villains go after Morpheus, attack the Dreaking and ultimately killing Morpheus. This is further cemented by Destiny outright saying that the events would cause a reality storm and "World's End" included an early preview of Morpheus's funeral.]]

** Batman is sent to a timeline where he was shot by the mugger instead of his parents. ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' would provide us with a similar reality, only it ended up even worse for Thomas and Martha.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: DC could have used the mini-series as an opportunity to restore [[ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} Katar and Shayera]]'s Silver Age history and undo most of the characters' ComicBook/PostCrisis DorkAge stories[[note]]and have ''Hawkworld'' take place in the past as originally intended[[/note]]. Needless to say, there's a good reason Hawkman [[ContinuitySnarl/{{Hawkman}} has his own subpage for]] ContinuitySnarl--and this is partly why.

* NightmareFuel: The time-erasing void consumes entire universes, and the effects are represented as everything in the comic fading to white, including panel borders, until nothing is left but blank pages. The [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/1pXkXLWXZcdZuGmSZQHHEU8ctFbLO9Va0H9LpOiQG3dogGMg1r7NbHOJcrCYRihg8Axta3JfAgen=s1600 Action Comics tie-in]] is especially scary, as Lois Lane fades midsentence and has to watch everything die around her. Other tie-ins are additionally freaky, such as as the [[https://readcomicsonline.ru/comic/zero-hour-crisis-in-time-omnibus-1994/Zero-Hour-44/24 Robin]] and Catwoman ones, where everything fades to white instantly almost without explanation, and in Selina's case, happened so suddenly that she didn't even have time to react.

* ContestedSequel: To ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''.

* TearJerker:
** ComicBook/GreenArrow apparently killing his best friend, Hal Jordan. ([[UnexplainedRecovery He got better]].)
** The deaths of the various members of the JSA as Extant ages them to their proper ages, killing several of them in the process.
** One of the time anomalies sends Batman to the night his parents were murdered, except in this reality he was shot and killed instead of them. After spending all night fruitlessly searching for the killer, he decides to return to Wayne Manor, and hopes that meeting each other can help with their respective losses... only to learn the anomaly has gone and the Waynes have vanished as if they'd never existed. ''Damn''.
** Similar to the above example, one of the time anomalies sends Superman to ''Krypton'', where he gets to meet his birth parents...only to be forced to watch the planet explode before he can do anything to try and save them.
