The Flash Season 3: 15 Things You Need To Know About Flashpoint
3. Barry Saves The Day... Kind Of
After all has become crystal clear, Barry
Allen makes a plan of attack that will ultimately see him restore the Earth’s
original timeline; the timeline in which there is a Justice League, where
Wonder Woman and Aquaman aren’t battling each other for global domination, and
where Cyborg is still seen as one of the sh*tter JL members out there (sorry
Cyborg fans).
Travelling back in time, Barry actually merges with his earlier self in order to not save his mother. What happens next is that he’s confronted by three different timelines: DC (New Earth), Vertigo (Earth-13), and WildStorm (Earth-50).
It turns out that the world as we know it has been split into three timelines to weaken it ahead of impending doom. All three worlds would then merge together to become a new DC realm known as the New 52.
So yeah, if you thought that the New 52 absolutely sucked (let’s face it, who didn’t?) then you have The Flash to blame!
