In May 2011, DC Comics launched the major event "Flashpoint" (Flashpoint). The Flash Barry Allen found that he had accidentally changed history and plunged the world into war. In order to bring history back on track, he revised the timeline again and restarted the DC universe under the influence of a mysterious woman "Pandora".

Part of the character's shape has been redesigned, Superman's famous red panties have been removed, and the uniform is more like armor. The reopened comics still inherit the original plot, but some of the past plots and settings will be rewritten. The main reason for this change is to make each character closer to the modern age.

This reboot is not a full reboot of the original DC Comics Cosmos Worldview, but a "soft reboot" (soft reboot). Although this restart has changed the costumes or historical backgrounds of some well-known heroes and villains, some well-known events such as "Dark Night" or "Batman: Fatal Joke" will still be kept in the timeline.

The movie "Justice League-Flashpoint Paradox" is exactly the flashpoint event.

[Plot] One night, a fierce battle broke out in Central City. The Flash, Barry Allen, Superman, Batman, Diana, Green Lantern and other Justice League partners, and the rapid professor from the 25th century and his minion mirror master, spinning top, and quick freezing The captain fought and finally brought these villains to justice. At the moment of parting, Professor Hurry's words touched the most sensitive part of Barry's heart. When he said goodbye to Batman, he said he would just run away. [Actually, he launched his big move, time walked, and ran over to save his mother. 】

After this, everything seems to have changed. As soon as he woke up, he found that the rogue gang continued to do evil, and he accidentally lost the ability to transform into the Flash. What made him unexpectedly was that his mother, who was supposed to be killed by thieves in his childhood, appeared in front of him alive. The world seemed to be turned upside down. The Amazons led by Wonder Woman Diana and the Atlantis Sea King went to war; Bruce died, his father Thomas Wayne appeared as a rough Batman, and his mother became a clown; Clark’s The spaceship crashed in the metropolis and was imprisoned without becoming a superman; Hal did not get the green light ring and piloted the alien spacecraft to fight against the sacrifice of the sea god; there were many superpowers that had never appeared in the world before. Reverse Lightning killed Barry's mother at the beginning and influenced Barry to change the timeline. Now it occupies most of the superb power, with the intention of keeping Barry trapped in this world.

The world in front of him is about to die... He knows that he has appeared on the earth of another world, and the memories of the two worlds are constantly tangled together.

In order to save the world and change the mistakes he made, Barry reversed time after Batman killed Reverse Lightning and changed the occurrence of the incident. The subsequent process was that for some reason, he merged the three worlds into one, causing the universe to restart. This will be the new 52 universe afterwards.


"You must learn to accept the things that cannot be changed, but the things that can be changed must be used in action, and there must be wisdom to distinguish the two."-What Barry's mother said to him is also a summary of the whole film.
