FlashPoint right now is big talk for the superhero tv world. Right now, FlashPoint is the storyline that the tv show "The Flash" is following for this coming season. The main premise of FlashPoint is that Barry Allen goes back in time and stops his mother from being murdered, thus changing the timeline. Since the tv show timeline is a little different, I am going to talk about the comic book timeline for those watchers who want to know more about the origins of FlashPoint. So, here we go. Also beware, but there are going to be spoilers ahead!

1. Thomas Wayne is Batman.

On the night of the robbery, after Flash goes back in time, Bruce dies instead of his parents. When Bruce dies, Martha goes crazy and turns into the Joker and Thomas turns into Batman. At the end of the series, the Flash finally is heading back when Thomas gives him a letter that he wrote for the Bruce of the original timeline letting him know how proud he was.

2. Barry loses his powers.

3. The Atlanteans and Amazonians are at war.As a result of him saving his mother, he is not in the same place where the lightning strikes him, so he never got the powers that let him save his mother's life. When he realizes that saving his mother screwed up the timeline, he goes to Thomas for help to get his powers back by recreating the storm that gave him the powers in the first place.

The world as Barry knew it has gone into chaos. The biggest reason is because the Amazonians and the Atlanteans have an all out war happening between the two groups. Their war has reached every part of the Earth. It is basically World War III but with superpowers.

4. And lastly, without FlashPoint, we might not have had rebirth.

Of course, even after Barry fixes the timeline and goes back to the original, somethings are still messed up. This gave DC the perfect opportunity to restart the comics, but not having to go over everyone's origin stories again. They were able to reset the timelines that Barry messed up, while being able to add new characters to the universe. So, I guess Barry did something right.

Now the CW FlashPoint is going to look nothing like this because it is not connected to the movie universe, but it has the same overall arch of Barry messing up the timeline and having to fix the mistakes that he has made. Or he will have to learn to live with the mistakes he has made because he should not go back in time anymore.

You done messed up Barry Allen. Time to fix it.
