Lucifer Exists In The DC Universe And Superman Once Ruled Hell For Him
Flash once ran so fast that he literally rebooted the DC Universe. That's how we got the new 52, and it was the plot of the "Flashpoint" comic series. This was also how we got a timeline where Bruce Wayne was the one shot and killed in the alley, leading to Thomas Wayne becoming Batman and Martha Wayne becoming The Joker.
