I have always been a fan of the DC Universe since I was little kid. They had a huge playground of characters and universes for you to choose from. At times it was downright confusing but it was fun nonetheless. Over the last twenty of so years (Hard to Believe it has been that long). DC has been trying to cleanse the confusion caused by their massive continuity begining with the awesome and critically accalimed Crisis On Infinite Earths then the mediocre Zero Hour: Crisis in Time and then the very cool Infinite Crisis Despite all of that it really did not do much to deal with the confusion. Fans would debate what story was in continuity and did this happen or that happen. First Batman was a part of the Justice League then he wasn't and then he was. First he discovered who killed Thomas and Martha Wayne then it was a mystery. First he was known somewhat by the public then he became an Urban Legened. You get my point. First Wonder Woman was not a founder of the JLA then later on she was. Many of Supermans John Byrne adventures were wiped out. It got ridiculous. Not to mention Hawkman. (Check out the The Hawkman Omnibus Vol. 1 to help clear up that confusion.
Imagine waking up at your job and you hear that your nemesis Captain Cold is a law-abiding citizen? Or what about Thomas Wayne, Bruce Wayne's father being Batman and alive? Superman not being around and cyborg is the national hero? Abin Sur never died, so Hal Jordan never received his power ring? Aquaman sinking Western Europe and Wonder Woman taking over England as New Themyscira...and yet there both fighting each other? What about your dead mother...being alive and well? And weirdly enough, you don't have your powers here!This is the setup for Barry Allen, AKA The Flash, who wakes up unknowingly to this unique place/timeline at the beginning of this new world, called Flashpoint. Flashpoint is set in a modern world that is an accumulation of the DC, Vertigo, and Wildcats Universes--but altered, with many characters having various arrays of different properties, either it be personalities, ideologies, looks, or all of thee above. Characters like Thomas Wayne, who is very much like Bruce, but is more ruthless about taking justice out to his enemies, to the point he's willing to kill them. Cyborg is the new Superman of this world, where everyone looks up to him as a hero and trusts his word. Even SHAZAM is called Captain Thunder here, who is made up of six different teenagers with conflicting opinions. Added to all that, Aquaman and his Atlantians and Wonder Woman and her ians are at war with each other, which could very well destroy this new place that The Flash just got stuck into without any prior knowledge of how he got here. Even worse, is that Barry has to get out of this universe soon or else his prior memories from his universe will be over written into new memories for this new Flashpoint universe. Talk about being stuck up a creek!
