Do you remember? You found me. And in that instant, you

pulled the entire Speed Force into you to stop me. To stop me from Flash: Flashpoint
killing your mother. You were like a bullet through a windshield.
You shattered history. The lives of the people closest to you were
put on a broken path. You changed time like an amateur! This is
your fault, Barry. This hell is your creation. You traded the life of
your mother for the rest of the world!

In Gotham City, Batman throws Harley Quinn off a building before being confronted by Cyborg. Cyborg and Batman have a
conference with a group of superheroes, to discuss how the battle between Aquaman's Atlanteans and Wonder
Woman's Amazons has caused massive death and destruction in Western Europe, with the prospect of America being
similarly endangered. The heroes cannot work together to find a solution, and the meeting is disbanded. Barry Allen drives
to the Batcave where he is attacked by Batman, who is revealed to be Thomas Wayne, who took the mantle after the death
of his son.

In the flooded remains of Paris, Deathstroke the Terminator captains a pirate ship in search of his daughter. He, along with
his crew ( Sonar, Icicle, and Clayface) are attacked by Emperor Aquaman, who stabs Deathstroke in the chest. Sonar is
able to remove a piece of the trident from Deathstroke's chest and heal him. Back at Wayne Manor, Barry tries to explain to
Thomas about his secret identity as the Flash and his relationship to Bruce Wayne. Barry's memory begins to
spontaneously realign itself to the altered timeline and Barry learns that the world of Flashpoint is not an alternate
dimension, but his own. Barry's ring ejects Professor Zoom's costume and cause Barry to believe that Eobard Thawne is
responsible for changing history. Barry decides to recreate the accident that gave him his powers, in a bid to undo the
damage caused by Thawne, but the initial attempt causes him to be badly burnt.
In London, Steve Trevor is waiting at a rendezvous point for Lois Lane but is attacked by Wonder Woman and the
Amazons. Wonder Woman catches him by the neck with her Lasso of Truth and begins interrogating him. He explains that
he was hired to extract Lois Lane from New Themyscira because she was sent to gather information on the Amazons for
Cyborg. The US President informs Cyborg that Steve Trevor sent a signal to the resistance but was intercepted because of
a traitor among the heroes that Cyborg tried to recruit. Cyborg is relieved of duty as Element Woman sneaks into the
headquarters. Meanwhile in New Themyscira, Lois Lane encounters the Resistance. A second lightning strike grants Barry
Allen his powers, healing his injuries, allowing him to recreate his costume. Barry's research of past records of newspaper
clippings leads him to conclude that Thawne deliberately changed the timeline to prevent the formation of the Justice
League. He also learns of a rocket carrying the infant Kal-El, that crashed into Metropolis instead of Kansas. Kal-El was
taken by Project: Superman, and named Subject 1. Flash and Batman meet with Cyborg and agree to join the cause to
stop Wonder Woman and Aquaman, and the three go in search of 'Subject 1'. In the project headquarters they discover a
pale, weakened version of Superman. Their meeting is interrupted by the arrival of guards and Superman flies off in the
midst of battle, leaving the Flash, Batman, and Cyborg in the sewers to be rescued by Element Woman. Flash's memories
begin to change much more drastically. In order to prevent him forgetting the original timeline completely, Batman gives him
an anti-epileptic to slow down his brain's electrical activity.

The President announces Cyborg's failure to unite the world's super heroes, and the US entry into the Atlantian-Amazon
war. In Fawcett City, Billy Batson feels distressed about trying to intervene after being easily defeated by Wonder Woman,
before resolving to put a stop to the war. The Flash, Batman, Cyborg, and Element Woman break down the door in need of
the Marvel Family's help, and Batman asks Billy to use his lighting to prevent Flash's memories from changing even further.
Billy sees the memories of his New Earth counterpart. The group hears of the failed air assault on England due to the
Amazons' Invisible Plane airforce. Hal Jordan is the first casualty, and a giant Atlantean-generated tidal wave threatens the
rest of New Themyscira. Flash tells Batman that he cannot just stand by as people die since if he fails to stop Thawne, the
world will destroy itself. Despite some reservations, Batman joins Flash as the group heads off to New Themyscira where
they are joined en route by Enchantress. Wonder Woman and Aquaman are fighting one-on-one until Flash and his team
arrive. The Marvel Family transform into Captain Thunder, and attack Wonder Woman. They appear to be winning until
Enchantress reveals herself as the Amazon spy and uses her magic to restore the Marvel Family to their mortal
forms. Penthesilea kills Billy Batson causing a massive explosion that cripples the opposing forces. In the wake of the
devastation, Professor Zoom appears in front of the Flash.

Zoom reveals to Barry that the Flashpoint timeline was actually created by Barry himself, after he travelled back in time to
stop him from killing his mother. Barry pulled the entire Speed Force into himself to stop Zoom, which altered the timeline.
Thawne resets Barry's internal vibrations, enabling him to remember this. According to Thawne, these actions transformed
him into a living paradox, no longer requiring Barry to exist, and allowing him to kill the Flash without erasing his own
existence. Zoom continues to taunt Barry with this knowledge until he is stabbed and killed from behind by Batman. As the
fight continues, Subject 1 arrives and begins to aid the heroes, but Thomas still insists that Barry put history back to normal
to undo the millions of deaths that have resulted from the Amazon/Atlantean war. Meanwhile Cyborg detects seismic
activity which he claims could destroy the world and waves start to approach.

Now knowing the point of divergence, the Flash resumes his attempts to restore the timeline. Before he enters the
timestream, Thomas thanks him for giving his son a second chance and gives Barry a letter addressed to Bruce. Barry then
meets his mother, and reveals his secrets and his inadvertent role in creating the Flashpoint universe by saving her life.
Barry bids a tearful farewell to her and Nora Allen also accepts her fate, acknowledging that she will be reunited with her
husband in the afterlife when Barry succeeds. Traveling back in time, Barry merges with his younger counterpart during the
attempt to stop Thawne, inadvertently creating another timeline which slightly differs from either the Flashpoint or original
universe. Barry then wakes up in a similar manner to the beginning of Flashpoint. Believing that everything is over, Barry
remembers Thomas' letter and gives it to Bruce, who is still the Batman in this timeline. Bruce is deeply touched by his
father's sacrifice to ensure his own life, and is grateful to Barry for informing him of the events that transpired before the
timeline was apparently restored to normal. In the wake of current events, a new DC Universe begins.
