10 Biggest Comic-Con 2017 Reveals
6. The Flash Will Tackle Flashpoint
Nestled in between Aquaman footage that sadly won't be released online and the headlining Justice League trailer came word from DC about The Flash's solo debut.
It was quite the bombshell, too, as the Scarlet Speedster will have alternative universes and a maniacal Batman to contend with.
That's right, the upcoming Flash film will incorporate elements of DC's Flashpoint event, a crossover set in a world where the Reverse-Flash has tampered with reality.
In this universe, Bruce Wayne was gunned down in an alley rather than his parents, leading to Thomas Wayne taking up the mantel of the Bat and employing far more brutal crimefighting methods than his son ever would.
Meanwhile, Wonder Woman's Amazons have conquered the British Isles and are at war with Aquaman's Atlanteans, who have sunk the rest of Western Europe.
Just how much of this mind-bending epic will make it into the film remains to be seen, but DC are showing a lot of ambition by even attempting to bring it to screen.
