What would you do if you woke up one morning and discovered that everything around you had changed, so much so that even the familiar is so alien, they are almost unrecognizable? And not only that, but this new world is teetering on the brink of superpowered war? This is the world which Barry Allen finds himself in; this is the world of Flashpoint.Superman is nowhere to be found; in his place, Cyborg is the world's greatest hero. Likewise, Barry's enemy Captain Cold - or rather, Citizen Cold - has filled his spot as Central City's protector. Hal Jordan never became Green Lantern; Abin Sur remains the protector of Sector 2814. Batman, who is now Thomas Wayne, rather than his son, is uncharacteristically brutal. And most pressingly, Wonder Woman is at war with Aquaman with the former conquering the United Kingdom and the latter sinking the rest of Western Europe into the sea; if left unchecked the Amazons and Atlanteans will devastate the world.Flashpoint is a Crisis Crossover published by DC Comics, written by Geoff Johns and penciled by Andy Kubert; the series details an altered DC Universe in which only Barry Allen seems to be aware of very significant differences between the regular timeline and the altered one he awakes in. Consisting of a limited five issue run, the series also involved sixteen 3-issue mini series, four one-shots, and a tie-in arc in Booster Gold. It was preceded by four issues of "The Road to Flashpoint" in The Flash #9-#12.This event led to a complete reboot of the DC universe starting with Justice League #1 on August 31st 2011. Most notably, Flashpoint's conclusion served as the starting point for DC's company-wide relaunch, New 52. It subsequently led to two other major events, the first being Convergence, where Braniac allows the three main iterations (and then some!) of the DC Universe to finally meet (though not on pleasant terms), with these encounters leading to all three universes being able to co-exist, and DC Rebirth, where it seems another party got involved with Barry's actions. The Button, a 2017 crossover between Batman and The Flash, serves as a sequel to Flashpoint as well as a continuation of the story that began in DC Universe: Rebirth #1.A sequel miniseries called Flashpoint Beyond began in 2022 that focuses on the alternate-timeline’s Thomas Wayne returning to his native timeline.An Animated Adaptation as part of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies line titled Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox was released July 30, 2013. A low-key Lighter and Softer version of this storyline was used as the premiere of The Flash (2014) Season Three. The Flash (2023) also serves as a loose adaptation of the story.Not to be confused with the TV show nor the Elseworlds story of the same name, Flashpoint (1999) (though that also involves the Flash).

Can't Kill You, Still Need You
 Flashpoint (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_1206d299
comment
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Subverted. A plot point Johns established back in The Flash: Rebirth was that this was why Thawne had never outright killed Barry. As the living generator of the Speed Force, killing Barry would only derail not only Flash history, but Eobard's own timeline (which naturally pissed him off and forced him to compensate by making Barry's life a living hell). However, thanks to the Flashpoint, Thawne's timeline's been removed from the new timeline; he's a walking paradox. So, that means Thawne can kill Barry now with impunity and without worrying about the temporal consequences (and indeed tries to do so until Thomas Wayne skewers him).

Darker and Edgier
 Flashpoint (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: Many of the DC heroes in this altered timeline. Wonder Woman and Aquaman are both fierce warlords attempting world domination against one another and committing massive genocides for varying reasons. Batman has no qualms over killing people; it's hinted that he has a habit of offing criminals who don't give him information. And it turns out his wife also survived that night and became The Joker... Instead of crash-landing in a small, rural field in Kansas, the rocketship containing little Kal-El crashes right in the middle of Metropolis, along with a meteor shower, pulverizing the city to rubble and killing thirty-five thousand people. In addition, instead of a passing motorist rescuing him and putting him in an orphanage, the government got its hands on Kal-El and formed Project: Superman. They later took Krypto and Kara Zor-El as well when their rockets arrived on Earth. Currently, Kal-El is barely alive, but free from captivity thanks to Flash, Batman, and Cyborg; Krypto has withered away into a skeleton; and Kara's fate is unknown, though some throwaway dialogue hints that she did not survive either. They also found an entombed Doomsday, and attempted to use him as a weapon. It worked about as well as could be expected, really.note Considering they also used his DNA to try turning Neil Sinclair into a super-soldier and how well THAT worked out, this happened TWICE. After years of being tormented through experimentation and abuse at the hands of The Outsider and others, J'onn J'onzz has become a cold-hearted leather jacket-wearing mercenary, willing to kill anyone who stands in his way. The Legion of Doom mini-series both averts and subverts this. Regular Flash Rogue Heat Wave becomes protagonist, as we follow his intense hunt for revenge against this universe' main hero, Cyborg. He willingly and brutally slaughters any and all in his way to get revenge against a hero, who wronged him, whilst saving hundreds of lives from unnecessary deaths. Plastic Man as well; normally a Reformed Supervillain, his Flashpoint incarnation is a sociopath mercenary, who performs some rather... graphic acts during his employment under Heat Wave.

Heel–Face Door-Slam: For a brief moment, Wonder Woman manages to earn Aquaman’s trust again as she explains her discovery of the conspiracy behind their war. Arthur even calls off his Geo-Pulse Cannon to hear her out. His traitorous brother Orm then secretly detonates several Atlantean war vessels, causing Arthur to reorder the sinking and invasion of New Themyscira with a vengeance.

All There in the Manual: As issue 5 explains, Barry went back in time to try saving his mother. In the previous Flash series that had ended just before this event started, he had been motivated to do this by a special mirror the first Mirror Master had created, which had been designed to infect Barry with his heart's desire until he couldn't ignore it.

Daddy's Girl: Implied. Raven more closely resembles her father Trigon, with red skin and four eyes. But given the fact that he was a member of the previous Secret Seven, and she's a member of the current one, he may not have been as evil in this world as the mainstream one.

comment
No Sympathy: A key difference between the regular Aquaman & his Flashpoint counterpart is that Tom Curry attempted to raise Arthur with a sense of kindness, patience, and humility. Regular Aquaman took it with his heart. Flashpoint Aquaman saw it as weakness, especially since his father's virtues couldn't help him from being killed by Atlantean soldiers.

Papa Wolf

comment
Papa Wolf: Deathstroke, who in this reality is a pirate captain, is searching for his missing daughter, Rose Wilson. It's implied that this reality's Deathstroke hadn't stooped to the same level as his regular continuity counterpart did in order to control her. When she's finally shown, the two actually appear to love each other in a way that's no longer possible for their mainstream counterparts. Also Sam Lane, in what has to be an entirely GIGANTIC reversal of his previous portrayal in the mainstream DC Universe. Despite the underlying feeling that he's looking towards Kal as the son he never got (instead he got Lois - and Lucy, too, but she's never seen or mentioned), he refers to them both as "my children" when he goes up against Subject Zero in order to prevent any harm towards the two. Batman immediately decides to help Barry to restore the "proper" reality, erasing the Flashpoint one, all of this to let Bruce alive and safe in the original timeline even if Thomas himself didn't survive the alley.

Crapsack World: Let's see... Wonder Woman has invaded the United Kingdom with 32 million casualties. Aquaman has sunk the entirety of Western Europe under the sea, with 100 million dead. They seem poised to break the world. Brazil is occupied by the Nazis, and Alaska is apparently the "Land of the Undead". Half of Africa has been conquered by Gorilla Grodd and his genocidal super-gorilla army, and this is seen as a background event. Space isn't faring so well either. Abin Sur's sister is dead, along with his entire world which has been shattered to pieces. The universe is spiraling into chaos as entire sectors of space are being decimated by the Manhunter robots or Nekron & his Black Lantern Corps, as a slightly altered version of the Blackest Night prophecy which has come to pass started off by Atrocitus' murder of William Hand. From Bad to Worse by the 31st Century: Earth is completely controlled by Brainiac.

Mythology Gag
 Flashpoint (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Seen in the two-page view of Gotham - there's apparently a Green Lantern movie in theaters. Mary Batson (Mary Marvel in the normal 'verse) is seen holding a rabbit, a reference to Hoppy the Marvel Bunny. Most of the spinoffs are grouped under titles beginning with "Whatever Happened...?", referencing the Superman pre-Crisis sendoff Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?? and the later Batman eulogy Whatever Happened to The Caped Crusader?. Also a more literal mythology gag is the letter Flash delivers to Bruce Wayne from his father. Making him a messenger like Hermes, the god the original Flash is sort of patterned off of. The Citizen Cold miniseries has Mr. Freeze's head detach from his body and move on robotic spider legs, much like what became of him in The New Batman Adventures episode "Cold Comfort".

Upon being discovered by Garth, Artemis beats him senseless and frames him for the death of the queen, instigating the bad blood between the Amazons and Atlanteans. Also apparently one of the Outsider's tactics.

It's unknown even to him if he can turn back, but he has decided to use his situation to try to help the U.K Resistance against the Amazons.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Barry Allen decides to recreate his superhero origin story, which involved being hit by lightning and bathed in a bunch of chemicals. Instead of granting him Super-Speed, he's horribly burned and nearly killed. While his second try was successful, a Tales from the Dark Multiverse issue building off from that moment adhered to reality even more with the first try outright killing him.

Broken Aesop
 Flashpoint (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_401d4116
comment
Broken Aesop: Sean Ryan intended for the Grodd Of War oneshot to be an allegory for how the Western world doesn't care about what happens in Africa in terms of all the needless deaths taking place there, and have Grodd be the mouthpiece... but this is undercut by the fact that Grodd himself was the one who killed the vast majority of them. In the story he's pissed that Cyborg or Captain Thunder (any heavy hitter really) is too busy with the European War to try to stop him. Grodd wants attention because he thinks his campaign is too easy and unchallenging to him, he probably expected the world's superheroes to try to band up against him and didn't expect the events in Europe to completely overshadow him like it has. For some readers, the attempt to apply a moral and real world comparisons to it fell pretty flat. The Reveal introduces an even bigger one: If Barry trying to undo the Reverse-Flash's meddling only makes things worse, then essentially the DC Universe is fine with a villain mucking up time to destroy innocent lives, but breaks down completely at a hero trying to save them and undo the damage the villain causes. In other words, the universe itself is on the villains' side! The aesop here is more or less "You can't do the exact same thing the bad guys did and expect different results just because you have noble intentions. Especially when you do it in the timestream and cause a paradox when the guy you kill is also travelling though time at a different point in his life".

Worthy Opponent: In a world without anyone (mainly a Flash) to oppose him, Grodd has taken control of his race of hyper-intelligent gorillas, taken control of what's left of the African continent and killed nearly half the human population on said continent. He's also incredibly bored with the situation, feeling that there isn't anything to truly challenge him. Desperate to find anyone who could challenge him intellectually or in combat, he is willing to surround himself with enemies who want to kill him and directly inspire anyone to try to seriously kill him.

BlackAndGreyMorality
 Flashpoint (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_588d766f
comment
Black-and-Grey Morality: Brion Markov, king of Markovia and known in the regular continuity as Geo-Force, was willing to form an alliance with Aquaman after Wonder Woman and the Amazons took over England. This was despite the implication that Arthur was the one responsible for the assassination of Diana's mother, Hippolyta, on their wedding day. In the conversation with his advisers, Aquaman and Wonder Woman wound up being compared to Josef Stalin and Adolf Hitler, respectively. This attempt at an alliance failed SPECTACULARLY, as the Atlanteans kidnapped Brion to use him as the power source for a geo-pulse cannon, which was then used to sink all of Western Europe underwater in an attempt to destroy the Amazons. The Atlanteans were always planning on doing this to Brion, starting with Mera "saving" Brion from renegade soldiers in order to gain his trust. Aquaman had apparently wanted to go in a different direction, but went with the plan after Mera was killed. And it turns out that Hippolyta was murdered by Artemis, acting under orders from Hippolyta's sister, Penthesilea. Her intended target was actually Diana, but Hippolyta shielded Diana from the harpoon. Artemis stole Garth's (Tempest in the regular universe) armor in order to frame him, and he was then killed by Penthesilea herself. Penthesilea was working in an alliance with Orm, Aquaman's brother.

Sequel Hook: At some point before Barry broke history and completely unrelated to this mess, some villain split the DCU into three timelines (main, WildStorm, and Vertigo) to keep its heroes from uniting against him/her/it. However, later stories never followed up on this until it was later revealed the DCU hadn't been split up in the first place. This was a lie created by Doctor Manhattan so he could use Pandora as his scapegoat for creating for the New 52 timeline.

I Don't Like the Sound of That Place: "Slaughter Swamp" is where Frankenstein and the Creatures of the Unknown must go in hopes of regaining their humanity... (It's not very nice in the main DCU either, being the place where Solomon Grundy was created.)

Kick Them While They Are Down: After the Atlanteans submerge Western Europe, the Amazons rescue any survivors. But Lois Lane witnesses the Amazons reject rescuing a Christian priest because he follows a "false god", and then in New Themyscaria (the former U.K.) all male survivors are separated from female and made slaves in chains.

comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: According to Zoom, Barry broke the time stream when he saved his mother in the past from a time-traveling Zoom. Nice Job Breaking It, Villainous Advisers: The whole reason there's an Atlantean/Amazon war is because Aquaman and Wonder Woman's primary advisers, Orm and Penthesilea, are working together to assumingly (it's never clearly explained) get Arthur and Diana killed so they can take over. Except by the end of the story, the war and its weapons have gotten so out of control that a throwaway background line suggests the world is rapidly heading towards an inescapable complete shattering due to out of control tectonic manipulation. Well done, you yahoos. WELL DONE.

Beware the Superman: Not necessarily with Superman himself, but it appears that his "predecessor" in Project Superman, Lt. Sinclair, has let his incredible powers go to his head. In general, the Flashpoint universe appears to have had to deal with a lot of this, what with such matters as the Atlantean / Amazonian war which has seen Western Europe submerged and 100 million killed (except for the United Kingdom — which has been occupied by the Amazons, with 32 million dead) and various other horrific superhuman battles and wars and such.

Area 51
 Flashpoint (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_95d5fa0e
comment
Area 51: What "Project: Superman" functions as. It's a top secret, heavily protected government facility located two miles beneath New Metropolis devoted to studying three alien "subjects" that arrived on Earth by rocketship. By the events of Flashpoint, Subject 1 – Kal-El – is the only surviving alien specimen, having spent his entire life within the facility. Project: Superman also functions as a storage locker for “Subject 0�, Neil Sinclair, a jaded, failed first attempt at a super-soldier program. Even further below it are the remnants of “Project M�, the military program which spawned the Creature Commandos during WWII. Once the war was over, Frankenstein and the rest were all forced into stasis and locked away to be forgotten, much like Subject 0.

Continuity Nod: Clayface is a member of Deathstroke's pirate crew. In regular continuity, the second Clayface, Matt Hagen, tried to make a living by discovering sunken wrecks and pilfering whatever was inside. This is how he came upon the protoplasm that would (temporarily) turn him into a shapeshifter. Slaughter Swamp, where Frankenstein and his team are headed, played a major part in Seven Soldiers, where Frankenstein was introduced (though Frankenstein himself didn't go there). Also known as the "birthplace" of Solomon Grundy in the regular DCU.

Technically there was/is no regular Vertigo universe. The characters that made up the first books when Vertigo became an imprint were still a part of the regular DCU, for the most part. A good chunk of their adventures were relegated to Canon Discontinuity due to conflicting portrayals in the regular DCU.

Stupid Evil: Orm and Penthesilea basically started the war between Atlantis and Themyscira as part of some poorly thought out plan to take control of both, only said war has caused such damage to the Earth that it's likely the planet will eventually crack in two and be destroyed.

Shout-Out
 Flashpoint (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: One of the casino locales is called "Wayne's World". The Joker's design, with the long hair and trench coat, rather resembles Heath Ledger's portrayal. This version also has similar facial scars. The monochrome-and-red coloration of the flashbacks in Batman: Knight of Vengeance references the flashbacks in (Briand Bolland's coloring of) The Killing Joke. This is done because both flashback sequences tell Joker origin stories. Talky Tawny's transformation from a regular tiger to a huge sabretooth in armour when the Shazam kids transform into Captain Thunder is rather reminiscent of Battle Cat.

Series Continuity Error: Batman in his own miniseries already knows about the original timeline where Bruce survived, as he tells Joker!Martha. However, in the main series after Flash meets Batman and tells him about the timelines there is no point in time after this where you could squeeze the events of Batman's own miniseries.

In Spite of a Nail
 Flashpoint (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_d243518d
comment
In Spite of a Nail: Seems to be the case with Batman, who despite all of the alternate history shenanigans, up to and including Batman actually being Thomas Wayne, not Bruce still exists and shows there will always be a Batman, which echoes the ending of Whatever Happened to The Caped Crusader? by Neil Gaiman and other stories that have played with the same concept. This also seems to apply to Oracle, whose role here has been filled by Selina Kyle rather than Barbara Gordon, who was never even born in this timeline. Jason Todd still died and later came back to life despite never having been Robin, although he ended up becoming a priest instead of the Red Hood. The details of his death and resurrection are left unknown. As shown in the Deadman and the Flying Graysons miniseries, Dick Grayson still outlives his parents and Boston Brand still dies and becomes a ghost invisible to the living whose only means of interacting with the physical world is through possessing people.

Spin-Off: Frankenstein and the Creatures of the Unknown written by Jeff Lemire and Secret Seven written by Peter Milligan verge on this trope despite being in an alternate reality. Both feature less popular cult characters (Frankenstein and Shade the Changing Man) that are starring in new series (Frankenstein stars in Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E. and Shade in Justice League Dark) as part of DC's relaunch of their entire line and are being written by the writers of their respective mini-series. Frankenstein is definitely this trope - Lemire got the ongoing because DC liked the mini.

The Legion of Doom mini-series both averts and subverts this. Regular Flash Rogue Heat Wave becomes protagonist, as we follow his intense hunt for revenge against this universe' main hero, Cyborg. He willingly and brutally slaughters any and all in his way to get revenge against a hero, who wronged him, whilst saving hundreds of lives from unnecessary deaths. Plastic Man as well; normally a Reformed Supervillain, his Flashpoint incarnation is a sociopath mercenary, who performs some rather... graphic acts during his employment under Heat Wave.

Overcome with grief, Thomas transforms into an even more ruthless Batman, while Martha's sanity shatters, turning her into this reality's version of Joker. While they may still be married on paper, it's pretty clear the two are no longer together.

It can't be justified with an Alternate Universe since the NHL rules were codified decades before the point of divergence.

comment
Decomposite Character: The original Outsider character was Alfred Pennyworth after he Came Back Wrong during the Silver Age. The initial design and power set of the Outsider was taken from Alfred and given to a brand new and completely separate character called Michael Desai.

Expendable Alternate Universe
 Flashpoint (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_f31926c2
comment
Expendable Alternate Universe: Played with; Flash is, understandably, rather eager to restore the universe back to its original state as opposed to the rather sucky place it has become, but comes to realize that there are still real people living and dying here and is willing to help save the world as it currently is. Batman, however, inverts this; although he's part of the Flashpoint universe, he's even more eager than Flash to wipe this version of reality away and replace it with the original reality so that his son can live, even knowing that he himself will be dead in that reality.

comment
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Part of Grodd's troubles is that no matter how successful his expanding empire is, everyone is too focused on the Amazon-Atlantean War to give him any time of day.

Canon Immigrant

comment
Canon Immigrant: Grifter is a member of Britain's resistance. And it's implied that Neil Sinclair, a.k.a. Subject Zero, is Apollo from The Authority. The WildStorm 'verse as a whole was incorporated into the DCU in the relaunch (as was the Vertigo Comics 'verse, but that was based in the DCU to begin with). As seen in The Cameo, Grifter also was part of his own Team 7 years before the event happened. Technically there was/is no regular Vertigo universe. The characters that made up the first books when Vertigo became an imprint were still a part of the regular DCU, for the most part. A good chunk of their adventures were relegated to Canon Discontinuity due to conflicting portrayals in the regular DCU.

Death Seeker: Grodd keeps making intentionally risky decisions (surrounding himself with untrustworthy subordinates, engaging in pointless fights to the death, etc.) because he wants a Worthy Opponent to kill him.
