warning! Justice Society: World War II spoilers

Not only does the film give Justice Society its own animated adventure, but it kicks off a whole new twist on Barry Allen's journey in the new film.

First, let's talk about the Justice Society:

The Justice Society is one of DC Comics' most beloved superhero teams aside from the Justice League.

In the general sense, the Justice Society of the main world usually refers to the superhero organization in the 1940s before the Justice League.

But in other universes, JSA is the defender of Earth-2.

While JSA has made numerous appearances in animation before, Justice Society: World War II is the first independent film to feature them in the lead role.

As the film unfolds, we initially thought it was Barry who traveled back to World War II.

When the identity of Superman in this world is revealed by fate, Barry immediately realizes that this is not the Clark Kent he knew.

"Future Boy" Flash began to realize that he did not travel back in time, but went to another earth.

At present, there are two very popular theories on the Internet. The first is that the Flash only respects "Flashpoint". The second is that all concepts of time travel are "flashpoints".

Both of these arguments are very harmful and are not conducive to continuing to learn more about the American comics or DC world.

First off, Flashpoint isn't Barry's most compelling story, nor is it the Flash's most laudable highlight.

With the exception of Victor and Thomas, Flashpoint should not be recommended as the best way for newcomers to get to know any of the characters.

It's really rare for a "person" to show off after knowing a flash point.

Second, the Amazons-Atlantean war was not equal to Flashpoint.

What's more, the paradise island of this universe has been destroyed.

The heroine and the sea king have been on opposite sides more than once, and it is not very new for the two to fight.

Third, the reversal time is not equal to the flash point.

The Flash's most impressive storyline and ability is turning back time.

But should any movie where The Flash shows off his abilities should be called a "flashpoint remake" or "little flashpoint"?

Ridiculous.

Fourth, this is the "first" exploration of The Flash's multiverse walk.

Of course, this is a discussion without considering the CW Crisis on Infinite Earths situation.

The Flash discovered his new abilities.

And this may also be the beginning of the introduction of the multiverse concept to the animated film universe.

In addition, it is worth noting that this multi-dimensional walk is not necessarily opened by Barry himself, but may be arranged by Dr. Fate.

The portrayal of Hawkman, the first generation of Shan, and the first generation of Queer in the film is impressive.

It was through Jay Garrick that Flash learned about the concept of Speed ​​Force.

Since Superman: Tomorrow's Son, a new DC Animated Shared Universe is taking shape, of which Justice Society: World War II is a big part.

In fact, the second film of this new series has already begun to lead to the concept of Multiverse. In the future, the stories of Earth-3 and Earth-2 will only emerge in an endless stream, and it may even open the animated version of Crisis on Infinite Earths or War of Lamps.

Batman: The Long Halloween - Part 1 is the next entry in the universe.
