DCU: Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (DVD)
In this thrilling adaptation of the 2011 crossover comic book, time travel allows The Flash to prevent a family tragedy, but the temporal ripples prove disastrous, creating a fractured, alternate reality: his powers have disappeared, the Justice League does not exist and Aquaman and his Atlantean forces are waging a world war against Wonder Woman and the Amazons. With the help of a much grittier Batman — who in this timeline is Thomas Wayne, Bruce’s father — and Cyborg, now a government agent, The Flash re-creates the incident that brought on the anomaly and restores his powers. But only by somehow going back in time and preventing his earlier self from setting the time ripple in motion can The Flash bring back true reality. Breathtaking action and an all-star voice cast combine for a bold, emotional vision that will forever change the landscape of the DC Universe.

This is the story of the “flashpoint” referred to in /Justice League: Apokalipse War/. It certainly explains the concept!It also present a very alternate reality: the Flash has no powers, Batman is Thomas Wayne (it is Bruce who died in that alley), Joker (it appears) is … well, you wouldn’t believe it if I told you, Superman has been kept as an experimental subject for 30 years, never exposed to the sun and kept in red light all the time.And strange things are happening, that eventually bring Flash and Batman together to rescue Superman, who develops his powers (but with a different attitude) under the yellow sun of Earth. The Flash recovers his powers.And Dr Zoom shows up to explain what has happened and what a “flashpoint” is. The Flash caused all this by saving his mother from dying when he was a child. Now he must correct this mistake.Lots of action, to be sure, but a lot of a totally different reality to explore as well.So, if you want to see a DCAU film which is both well-done and truly does show you something different, this is the one.

Barry as usual breaking the speed force and creating the multiverse which creates the New 52 movies.Barry goes back into time and creates a new timeline where his mother is alive, Bruce is dead and Thomas Wayne is Batman killing the bad guys. The Flash doesn’t exist. His mom thinks he’s gay. His wife Iris is married with a kid to another guy. Wonder Woman and Aquaman had an affair and now are battling each other in armageddon. This is one crazy timeline and Barry doesn’t have his powers or enough speed to travel back into time.This is a great movie and shows what could happen if Wonder Woman or Aquaman goes bad. It’s a crazy alternate reality and has a touching ending. Sometimes it’s best to leave the past alone.

I will not be able to express how incredible this film came out. I watched it over and over again. I enjoyed the dialogue between characters, the story line, the alternate Earth sequence and intro to Wildcats, a different comic book series, but somehow they squeezed it in to this film. I enjoyed to powerful super heroes and their private war engulfing the entire earth. I enjoyed good guys becoming bad guys and bad guys becoming good. Yes it all happens in this film and the start of the film sets the mood for the entire fun filled, action pack adventure that follows.The ending has an emotional moment involving the Flash and The Batman, I’m telling you it made the whole film end perfectly. For those of you who do not think the Flash is such a great character, I promise you, after this film you will believe the Flash is awesome.

I hadn’t been all too interested in watching Flashpoint Paradox, mostly because I knew the graphic novel was used to be the beginning and the end of DC comic’s as it had been known for many decades. Also, I never cared much for Flash stories. But it was Labor Day weekend and I was relaxing for the evening and wanted to watch one of the newer DC animated movies I’d yet to see. Not only did I choose wisely, but this may just be the best animated feature they’ve put out yet.Most of what DC puts out is Batman. batman is awesome. Everyone loves Batman. And sometimes Superman. Flash is one of those supporting characters that hasn’t always been at the forefront of many memorable storylines. This is not the case with Flashpoint. Barry Allen is given center stage to this story, and it is a breath of much needed fresh air. It’s a brilliant story full of emotion and unforgiving brutal action at times. It’s a near perfect pull off and afterward I was left with an open mouth and an expletive on how good it truly was, and how happily surprised I was by it. I won’t spoil anything here for you, instead I just want you to be rest assured that this is an excellent story, one worth watching above anything else the DC animated features have to offer. And yes, Batman is in it. But with a twist.

This is head and shoulders above all of DC’s animated movies. It is the darkest rendering of these characters. There’s a safety net here because it’s an alternate timeline (and we know by the end it’s going to be righted and everyone’s going to be A-OK). But until then it’s bullets and blood and snapped necks and people razed to ashy smudged by laser beams. It’s a bit jarring to see them go this far but in a totally satisfying way. The take on Batman especially is grim and ingenious. The animation is exceptional and does especially well conveying movement — something strangely lackluster in a lot of American animation and that the Japanese mastered a long time ago. The writing is strong, daring and zeroes in on some strong emotional moments. The 3rd act showdown in particular is a real treat.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this movie was, 8/10. The 1080P video was excellent and the DTS HD 5.1 audio was very active and excellent as well. It is well worth the price of $13 as it comes with the blu ray, dvd and digital download. Highly Recommended for any Justice League fan. There are a lot of super hero appearances in the movie as well, but nobody is safe as there is a lot of violence and death in the movie.

Let me first start by saying this film is not for younger audiences. It contains graphic depictions of violence, sexual situations, and mature language.Realizing how that is in and of itself a deterrent for some viewers, I argue that it is done with some taste and rather than trying to glorify violence it seeks to depict its savage nature, and not simplify the world for sake of the story. Additionally one must understand the intended audience is essentially my demographic. (Adult male,29 at the time of this writing). Most depictions of our favorite heroes while entertaining in their own right have, at least in cinema, lacked until recently, a certain sense of realism. Hence the recent wave of darker depictions of iconic characters. Every perspective to up until recently has been one aimed at a particularly young audience, and studios have begun to realize the potential in tapping that older audience. So, if you are not particularly partial to violent content you may want to steer clear of this viewing, but it is sophisticated enough that it warrants a chance.In any event this is easily one of the better offerings in the DC animated universe, that deals with one of the central story arcs in the DC comics universe: The Flash Point Paradox.I would argue that the nature of the story does not lend itself to those who are uninitiated to the DC universe. The very crux of the story is sort of a what if scenario for all of your favorite DC characters. Most of which in this case do not result in the same heroic roles as their mainstream counterparts. What happens if superman never landed in Smallville? What if Bruce Wayne never became Batman? What if earths greatest heroes were at war with one another? In other words while the cameos are numerous, there are very few glimpses of your favorites DC icons, in the way that you know and love them. However this seems only to further anchor the unique bond you have with the characters in their more familiar forms.And fans of the flash are in for a treat. I admittedly did not grow up reading a lot of DC. Marvel had dominated the era I grew up in. I have however developed more insight as I have gotten older. Even still the Flash was never a character with which I particularly identified.This is by far the most action the Flash has seen in the DC Animated Universe and he does not disappoint. I think for the first time (In animation) anyone who did not grow up idolizing the character is given a true sense of why he was one of the founding members of the Justice League and of hisoverall importance in the DC universe. His bravery, bravado, and brash sense of humor are all on display, but tempered with a manic sense of purpose, and humility. It is a bit hard to watch, but strangely somehow seems to give root to the already fantastic nature of the DC universe.

I went into watching Flashpoint with an open mind, not knowing what to expect but to enjoy watching another DC animated film. This is by far the best DC animated film that I have seen! If you are not familiar with the story-line arc in the comic, you may be confusing but I feel they explained the background of the characters well for the amount of time they were allowed. What surprised me the most about Flashpoint was the amount of violence (not that it bothered me) and was shocked to see popular DC characters die and how some of them died. I feel Flashpoint was well done and hope this movie opened a door to make a DC animated movie of the Blackest Night story arc. The story-line was excellent, the animation was outstanding, well developed main characters and it was able to make me feel emotionally attached to what was going on (ex: “damn, that was messed up.” “damn, that was pretty damn sad.” “damn…he’s crying.”). Do not get your expectations high based on my review (I mad that mistake going into the X-Men movie when it first came out), but please watch Flashpoint as I did, with an open mind. I feel that it was worth my money and hope that anyone else that sees this enjoys it as much as I did.
