According to DiDio, “One of the things we wanted to do was take a month and flash forward to see what the potential futures of all our characters would be in that month, rather than simply looking at it through the lens of the weekly series.

Future State and Futures End are strikingly similar in a lot of ways. They’re both line-wide events that show DC’s heroes in a new light.

He’s terminally ill and building an army of clones in Futures End. It may have worked well as an interesting horror series if the event had been treated as an Elseworlds narrative, but the decision to present it as canon (as it was at the time) was one of several missteps DC made throughout the New 52. This was especially clear after the conclusion of Futures End, which saw practically every character in the DC Universe killed or assimilated, and the certainty that Brother Eye would prevail no matter what.
