The Flash Season 3: 15 Things You Need To Know About Flashpoint

8. War!

The Flash Flashpoint
DC Comics

It’s already been mentioned about the Flashpoint timeline having no Justice League. With Batman a loner whose only friend is an empty bottle, Superman not Superman at all, and Barry Allen powerless, two other main players are at all-out war with each other.

That’d be Aquaman and Wonder Woman.

The King of Atlantis and his Atlanteans are at savage, brutal and bloody war with the Amazing Amazon and her Amazon warriors. No punches are pulled and both sides are most definitely playing for keeps. So intense is the war that it’s literally destroying the globe, with London a hotspot of death, destruction, carnage and chaos when we’re introduced to the Flashpoint world.

There’s a good argument to be made that the war between the Atlanteans and Amazons here is one of the most violent battles that has ever been seen in any DC arc or timeline. Flashpoint as a whole is a fantastic read, and this element of the story is certainly a major highlight.
