DC Comics characters exist as the reader perceives them. Essentially, what I mean by this is that A. What the reader sees is all that actually occurs. Characters within the story and plot framework within DC perceive themselves as having a past and future, but these things do not actually exist. When a character remembers something or predicts something, these past and future events are not actually occurring or things that have occurred. They themselves are unaware of this, because the events that occur like precognition and time travel are parts of the story that are occurring. This affects all individuals in DC who exist within the plot, and B. these things are continually replayed and become existent again as those who read the story that is DC Comics perceive them. Within the perspective of the writers and readers themselves, the plot exists independently from them as fiction and thus this fiction will continue to outlive them so long as they perpetuate it. These plots allow them to survive as long as the writer needs them to, as a sort of canon PIS.
So yeah, there's a lot to unpack here.
