Thinking about it, I'm not really either, for example if they did a play of the first book and changed things it wouldn't be an issue, if it's a whole new take on the concept e.g. Wally West being black (and having different family ties) in the Flash series, even though in the comics he was white, it's not an issue because it's his first appearance in that specific DC universe. Also I guess for the same reasons that it doesn't bother me that there's going to be a TV flash and a movie flash at the same time that are completely unrelated... Or that the Batman Askham games that came out at the same sort of time as the Nolan Batman films were not the same Batman. Some people seem to be totally baffled but I'm like "no! Canon multiverses are fine they are unrelated characters!"...

Anyway, waffling, but I think my issue here is more that it's (so far) been touted as a direct sequel to the source books/films, not a reboot / new interpretation of the source material, and therefore should follow the established canon.

**** sake my wife is right, I'm such a geek.
