DCU: Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox

July 2013

(2,591)

Synopsis

We all wish for the chance to go back in time and change the things. For The Flash, that coveted chance is within reach. He traverses time to right a violent, decades-past crime against his mother, but the ripples of his good intentions prove disastrous, as a fractured, alternate reality now exists in place of the familiar one. Stumbling through this twisted reality where even Superman is nowhere to be found, The Flash seeks the trusted wisdom of Batman, only to find a grittier, more violent Dark Knight in his place. Together with the help of Cyborg, they race to restore the continuity of Flash's original timeline while this new world is ravaged by a fierce war between Wonder Woman's Amazons and the Atlanteans, led by a battle hardened Aquaman. With breath taking action and an all-star voice cast featuring Kevin Conroy, C. Thomas Howell and Dana Delany, it's a bold, emotional vision that will forever change the landscape of the DC Universe!

Awesome. Unpredictable Unpredictable. It was absolutely gripping and thrilling. Keeps you on toes highly recommended.

Jack Bat

One of the BEST DC Animated Movies This movie is awesome. Perhaps even surpasses Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths. The difference is that this movie is set in an altered timeline rather than an alternate universe. Some parts of the movie are even better than the comics. I enjoyed the way Batman (Thomas Wayne) killed the Reverse-Flash with a bullet to the head with a gun instead of stabbing him in the heart with a sword. I hope we shall see more great DC Animated movies like this!

Daniel Szilagyi

This is probably the best DC animation movie I'm not a huge DC fan outside of Batman and GL but this was a very well done movie, it's by far the most dark and disturbing of all of them so far ( minus perhaps Batman returns ) animation is well done and the pacing, story and mood are great.

Leonel Giron

One of the better DC films This is one of the better films up there with Wonder Woman(2009) and Superman: Doomsday. This movie is not your regular Justice League episode, it could be a little too gory for kids but its a great and enjoyable film.

Brady Wilebski

Absolutely amazing Incredible from beginning to end its interesting never losing action with an incredible story and plot twists constantly. It does things I'm sure people have been waiting to see forever. Incredibly sad and gory so be warned who you watch with but definitely a memorable movie.

NO SPOILERS! Great JL Movie! Totally worth the time! I've been keeping up with all the DC Animated Movies for a long time. And this movie.... is a master piece of animated film. The scripting, character development, plot, and not to mention seeing everything you ever dreamed Flash could be capable of and so much more from the fellow JL members all in one movie. Nice touch with Batman. Superman was interesting. The brutality of war is properly depicted. It reminds me of Crisis on Two Earths but not to the point of lacking in originality. I rented this one and will definitely be buying the Blu-ray combo pack as soon as I see it.

Loved this film, but not for the kiddos Time travel stories are a hard sell; once I know that's part of a story I let suspension of belief kick in and just sit back to enjoy. And enjoy I did! I never read the comic series this film is based on, but I knew the gist of the story. I won't give the details away, but just imagine the DC Universe grimmer and darker than the one in The Dark Knight Returns... The film is very violent (one of the few DC animations that has blood I think), with an adult story, but one that's basically about a boy's love for his mother. A few quibbles: some of the voice acting seemed a bit off. I had no idea it was Vanessa Marshall as WW, and I watched the JL and JL:U show often. Not a fan of Sam Daly as Supes. Also, there were some minor mistakes in animation (busted glasses in one scene, fixed seconds later, or blood missing and then appearing). Overall though, if you're a comics/animation fan (very kinetic action that flowed well here) or just love a fun time travel tale, I would highly suggest this film! However, it's definitely not for the kiddos. Watch it first!

Stanley Vaughn August 16, 2013

OMG Any DC or comic nerd would salivate over this spectacle of film animation. Could even be a home run with people that enjoy sci fi all together. They story is told so well & depicts another beautiful side of our JL, as with life, everything isnt always beautiful and that realization clashing with our DC world made one hell of a film.

Paulie Gualtieri December 22, 2013

Exceptional movie! This is one of the best Justice League movies that I've ever seen. Takes a direction that seems expected and then surprises you all of the time. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that enjoys the Justice League or DC comics.

Ludwind SantaCruz March 4, 2014

Pretty good Art was crap, typical anime trash. Story was very interesting. Love what they did to Superman.

Jose Lopez August 27, 2013

AWESOME STORY Not that big of a Flash fan but man was this worth the rental. I definitely recommend this Justice League movie to fans. Although I do wish they'd use superman a little more than they did. Definitely not for kids lol

J Lutynski February 13, 2014

Don't screw with the fabric of time It may make for some awesome results such as a badass, gun toting bat dad... But it may leave the world in shambles. This is a grittier darker film then what you might expect from a Justice League cartoon. Aquaman actually doesn't feel like such a Melvin in this. The story is fun. I still don't understand what speed energy is but I don't care.

Glen Foster January 25, 2014

Love alternate time lines I love to see how different these could be with some changes in their lives. And how one hero may be enough to help them make a difference. They did a really good job of following the Flashpoint crises. I'm also the biggest fan of The Flash (Barry Allen) there is. I'm not a fan of the animation though.

Ronaldo Salguero August 14, 2014

Everything happens for a reason It was very interesting how one little thing could of caused all that destruction in the movie just because the flash aka barry saved his mom from being killed so yah it was a pretty good movie.

Carlos Q September 26, 2014

Awesome Seeing different point of view. Amazing. And then it blows your mind who the joker is in that world.

roy torres October 19, 2013

One of the best animated superhero movies you'll ever watch Solid story, Great Character Development, well thought out use of graphic violence. I place this movie up there with The Dark Knight Returns.

Daniel Holmes August 24, 2014

Greatest DC animated movie yet Amazing story. Plots were awesome. Animation is incredible. Most of my favorite characters were in there. What a dope movie

Darwin Vargas February 9, 2014

Best DC Animated yet! Very good plot and twist. Will keep you on your edge. I really like the back story on Flash and the alternate reality world he created was very original. Never thought I see any of the known characters such as Batman and superman in another light. Great movie DC. Please keep this up!
