I have to state that I found out about this movie totally on accident. I was trolling around and saw this and wondered if I had seen it already or something. Turns out I didn’t. It also turns out that this may be the very best animated DC Comics film I’ve ever seen. One of the best things a comic book film, movie, or physical comic book can do is make me really care about characters that I really don’t give a damn about one way or another. Justice League: Flashpoint Paradox was a cool ass movie from top to bottom.
Its based off of a 2011 storyline that I know nothing about because I don’t buy comic books anymore. The story focuses on Barry Allen aka The Flash and his regret at not being home in time when he was a child to save his mother’s life. After the Justice League consisting of Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Lantern, Cyborg, and Aquaman show up to help defeat some of Flash’s enemies Zoom (Reverse Flash) guilt trips Flash who runs off so fast he fucks up time.
Flash wakes up at work and everything is weird. He heads off to go battle and doesn’t speed up. He crashes to the ground and his mother meets him. Flash is shocked that she is alive but still knows something is off. He finds out that the world is all screwed up and that Wonder Woman and Aquaman are on the verge of starting a world war between each other and Earth.
