Fifty-two seconds, almost a minute.
The most nauseating turning point in the current situation.
He was unlike Doctor Manhattan, who had stolen ten years from the DC Universe. Although the DC Multiverse had flattened that ten-year gap, it had paid a huge price—Justice Society disappearing, the Legion of Super-Heroes disappearing, and much more—and forced its way through the damage to reshape the New 52 Universe.
