For those who are not familiar with the DC Comics, Flashpoint is a game-changing storyline in which Barry wakes up in an alternate timeline with no powers. While his mother is alive, Captain Cold is actually Central City’s biggest hero. Barry later realizes that the alternate timeline is his fault for changing history, since he went back in time to save his mother from the Reverse-Flash.
So how close will the CW series follow the comic book? Gustin pointed out that the show will be doing its own version.
We’re definitely doing this FP thing our own way.. I’ve read Flashpoint, I’ve seen the amazing animated film. This will be its own thing.
