This is my first time watching an animated movie based on DC Comics characters outside the Batman movies which I love, and this was a pretty darn good one!I have watched the animated series Justice league and therefore only knew The Flash as a comic relief kind of person. This brings a welcomed change to that, because he's the main character and both likable and well rounded. I loved the voice cast! Kevin Conroy was excellent as usual, but Kevin McKid as the alternate Batman did an amazing job as well. He really sucked me in to his trouble from his reality. Reverse Flash was enjoyably menacing in his slimy and arrogant way of speaking to Barry Allen's Flash. The animation was great, too! If more direct-to-video productions were made like Warner Animation does, the direct-to-video market would have a better reputation. It was grand, had great angles and greatly textured and detailed backgrounds. The climax is just majestic if not a little too graphic in its bloodshed, but I won't call the entire movie excessively violent like many reviewers have done. That title would go to the Batman: The Dark Knight Returns movies. Flash's time travel gimmick may at times make the movie a little confusing, but I think it is cleared up pretty well as time goes by. Many clues and set-ups pay off both in the climax and the end and it makes the whole thing come together. Highly recommendable movie!

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is incredible DC animated film about Flash creating a paradox timeline which he finds himself in a war that it is a torn alternate timeline and teams up with alternate versions of his fellow heroes to return home and restore the timeline. I love this flick I have really enjoy this film I love it. The Flashpoint Paradox was the second animated film I saw in the Justice League franchise and I really had fun with it. The animated flick is so popular this days, that CW of The Flash TV Series will use Flashpoint in premiere of Season 3 for their storyline. I still have to see someday complete Season 1, which I haven't seeing yet. I grew up watching The Flash (1990) the old TV series with John Wesley Shipp which, I had the pilot on a VHS tape and I loved it watching it as a kid.Here you have the voice cast of Justin Chambers as Barry Allen / The Flash, he was alright, I really love C. Thomas Howell who voices the villain, I wish he would be in here more but he is a Reverse-Flash also known as Professor Zoom. Michael B. Jordan is an actor that I like, he is the voice of Cyborg, Kevin McKidd from Dog Soldiers is the voice of Thomas Wayne/Batman, this is actually Thomas Wayne, Bruce Wayne's father, who was the lead in Dog Soldiers which is cool. Kevin Conroy is the voice of Bruce Wayne / Batman who has a two cameo scenes. Cary Elwes is the voice of Aquaman. This is of course the ultimate timeline and the world is dark and different from the Flash knows, that is why I like it. This film was pretty good and solid, it is definitely PG-13, for good reason, their is definitely some violence and action in it. It starts with learning a bit more about The Flash, like someone killed his mother when he was a little kid and for her birthday anniversary her creates ultimate time line and he changes everything and he creates a dark world where the war between Aquaman's Atlantis and Wonder Woman's Amazons rules and he has to go back in his world and change all that. I just absolutely love this film you have even Slade Wilson / Deathstroke in this film voiced by Ron Perlman the character from Arrow Season 2. I start to really dislike Arrow the CW show after Season 3, because since when Arrow Oliver Queen needa a sidekicks that is so is sick and boring, I wanted to see Oliver kick all the baddies ass and not his sister and all his friends and his girlfriends are suddenly his sidekicks bu! I love the start in the opening scene: Barry Allen known as the Flash is visiting his mother's grave while suddenly he is alerted to a break-in by Captain Cold, Captain Boomerang, Heat Wave, Mirror Master, and the Top at the Flash Museum. Defeating the Rogues, he discovers that they have been hired by his archenemy Eobard Thawne aka Reverse-Flash as part of a plan to destroy Central City. With the help of the Justice League, Flash foils Reverse-Flash's plot, but taunts over the death of his mother still haunt Flash as he departs. That opening scene was awesome and the film shows the real Justice League how to act. Superman, Cyborg, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman saves all the villains when Reverse-Flash strapped bombs on them, they saved 1000 innocent people and they didn't hurt anyone, none was harmed I love that. I love the voice of Wonder Woman by Vanessa Marshall.I love how Batman/ Thomas Wayne helps Flash get his power back with lightning I love that. This flick get's 10 out of 10 I love this flick to death! It is my third favorite DC animated film in the Justice League franchise. The cast who and the animations is pretty good and over joyed.
