  If you're a fan of DC Comics, you will want to check out this film. It's a great film that ends the original DC Animated Universe. Warner Bros. has already confirmed that the next film will take place in the New 52 Universe and adopt the first event in the Justice League series. it will be the film to die for. Read Full Review

  All-in-all I'd have to say that Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is thoroughly enjoyable and a must-watch for anyone who is a fan of DC Comics. True, this movie does pave the way for the New 52 to makes it presence felt in the DC Animated Universe (with the release of the upcoming Justice League: War), the complexity of the story and the shock of the new characters (plus lots of gratuitous violence) make that pill a lot easier to swallow. With a great story, good animation, and an all-star cast I give Flashpoint Paradox 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. Keep up the good work DC. Read Full Review

While at times telling a poignant Barry Allen story, the core Flashpoint comic by Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert failed on a number of levels, getting lost in gimmickry rather than tracking the character arcs of those affected by the new reality created when Barry went back in time and prevented the murder of his mother.Somehow, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox succeeded where the comic failed, and told a brutal but personal story about fate, redemption, and loyalty.The film starts with a very effective recap of Barry Allen's life and the loss of his mom to a brutal murder. In a quick prologue, Flashpoint establishes the Flash's motivations and shows the inciting event for everything that is about to happen. This is followed by Flash and his Justice League comr Read Full Review
