The Flash teased the idea of Flashpoint in Season 1, when Barry first had the chance to save his mother, but ultimately decided not to go down that road.

Now they've gone one step further, and are in a place where it could actually happen, albeit in a slightly different way. Flashpoint revolves around Barry Allen waking up to discover everything has changed: his mother's alive, his father's dead, Captain Cold is a great hero, and a whole host of other big differences.

It was the event that led to a radical overhaul of the DC Comics universe, culminating with the relaunch under the New 52. While the show is obviously taking some steps towards altering the timeline, are they going ahead and actually adapt Flashpoint?
