Red Skies: It's a Crisis All Over

So the latest issue of Detective Comics (#871) features red skies, just like in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Well, that makes sense, doesn't it? After all, Crisis seemed to occur simultaneously in all times. Ok, that's not exactly true, but there were red skies in 1943, 1986 and 2986 for sure, as well as other places from which characters from the entire history of the DC Universe could be pulled. And that's not counting the return of red skies from follow-up Crises.

No wonder people in the DCU have stopped noticing. I mean, my piece of the Earth has frequent gray skies and we don't say much about it either. Just a normal occurrence. "Sky's pretty red today, honey." "Don't forget to bring an umbrella, dear."
