Variant comics ♥ great video

[@MrLourie]

What makes anyone believe the blood on Superman's chin is his and not Batman's. After all, he broke his bones, there must be blood, and his glove could have easily been damaged. Plus, Superman was shot at close range with bullets with no affect at all. Batman's punch is not worse than that.

[@sideshowparker]

Agreed, I felt it was pretty obvious it was Thomas’ blood not Superman’s

[@sideshowparker]

Then Superman proceeds to bitchslap Batman unconscious LMAOOO

[@CNNBlackmailSupport]

"Nobody makes me bleed my own blood!" - Thomas Wayne

[@asmarine2327]

This is correct. Could never be Superman’s blood in this context.

[@Bigkumasarmwrestling]

But still why would blood or how could blood come through his gloves and that fast from a punch?

[@osinachiakara9279]

This superman origin sounds like it has a bit of the "invincibles" in it

I thought the same at first, then thought that Goku's origin fits too

I haven't felt this good reading comics in months, and now the flash point is just very very cool!

[@roydennis1462]

“Great Darkness” being a threat to the Omniverse makes me think of the Black Winter from Thor in Marvel

[@eddierussell8141]

That is one of Thor best recent run with Black Winter but yeah the great darkness is one reason the Joker is back

[@roydennis1462]

@@eddierussell8141 im just seeing a bit of a connection in that the Black Winter also killed a world that was referenced as being DC basically too

[@SixSixSick13]

My thoughts exactly. Been hoping they connect it somehow for a massive crossover event ever since Dr. Manhattan said something about hulk and thor

[@Starkilleraver]

​@@SixSixSick13 Yeah, I can't wait for that event to inevitably happen but I feel like it won't happen for a while, unfortunately.

[@grumpyorgre2336]

I'm pretty sure that the clockwork killer is probably clock king

[@livestreamgaming420]

2:34 I don't think that's S1's blood. Pretty sure it came from the knuckles of Thomas

[@quentinfogger5755]

What would happen if the Clock King was the killer in this issue? How do you think Thomas Wayne Batman is going to stop this killer?

[@dontedoestuff]

This was a rare moment where Superman’s story took a page from Goku’s story lol. Sent to earth to prepare it for conquest

Oh u know comics always bring characters back to life

[@soruyo210]

Thank you thank you for the Flashpont Beyond update!!!

[@quentinfogger5755]

What does Reverse Flash want from the Penguin? Is it crazy to see the wife of Harvey Dent as the Two-face of the Flashpoint timeline?

[@quentinfogger5755]

How did Dexter find out about his mother being in Arkham Asylum and how does he about her seeing her as a completely different person? What was up with this timeline Joker in this comic book issue?

[@MurphyBats1983]

Great story and artwork - thus far it’s been interesting, fingers crossed that Geoff Johns can stick the landing in the next two issues.

[@bluebeenie3499]

dang, I very much like this comic lineup, I cant remember where but I remember an epic plotline where thomas needs bruce to put martha in the lazarus pit, and I cant wait for a tie in

[@kingkb54]

I would really like maybe the next time he covers the story to tell us when exactly does these events take place since this is connected to dark crisis and currently They're All Dead

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of DC's Shining Knight, Cowboy_Vigilante and the Crimson_Avenger along with Marvel's Dreadknight? If you seen the recent episodes of season 7 of the Flash, can you do history of Impulse, XS, Psych, Fuerza, Steadfast, Chillblaine, Abracadabra, Rainbow Raider, Mirror Master and Top in your next video?

[@i.am.not.herbert]

Can someone explain to me how Barry Allen going back in time to stop his mother from dying, and succeeding.. resulted in changes to the timeline so drastic that Krypton had a different policy concerning the end of their planet and not only sent multiple children too survive off world, but also it was to conquer those worlds and not only that, but that includes the intentions and agenda of Superman's dad?

[@asmarine2327]

It’s explained that it wasn’t a 1 to 1 impact. Like his mom directly affected other happenings in the universe. It acted as if throwing a rock into a still pond, sending ripples out that affected everything/anything everywhere. That explains all the changes in the flashpoint timeline. Aquaman x Wonder Woman; Bruce dying instead of his parents, Superman crashing in Metropolis and everything else are the ripples. Barry’s mom didn’t directly influence anything to cause the changes, her existing just did.

[@christianrlopezg]

Butterfly Effect is a bitch.

[@Untrendyworld]

It’s just like with dr Manhattan….Barry mom only died because of a speedster interference but in stopping that moment the flow of time tried to balance it self back out…they didn’t send multiple children off world just 2 and a dog lol but don’t forget that brainiac still has candor also so there are still more kryptoians they just giving him the guko affect

[@i.am.not.herbert]

@@asmarine2327 well I want them to provide me with believable story that suspends my disbelief concerning how her existence affected Krypton or I call BS

[@i.am.not.herbert]

@@Untrendyworld the ending of that video was Superman telling Batman that there were more kryptonians coming cuz Krypton sent off multiple children I thought. I'm pretty sure

"Alive and well!" - One of those two is right...

[@sheevpalpatine2128]

This is really good 👍 it actually has a great story.

[@NeroLeMorte]

Glad they brought hypertime back in continuity.

[@windsonma8209]

Interesting as the Smallvill's Clark Kent first found out that he was an alien was it when he first found out who where he first came from and who hos Birth Father was I can't remember? Anyways what's so interesting about that is that Clark's Biggest Fear after hearing the very First Message from his Birth Father Jor El is that he was sent to Earth to Conquer it.

[@jeffreygodinez9276]

Wow this is pretty dope and awsome story of flash point, thanks aries 👍👌

[@Mayhem.jester]

Oh yeah this is gonna be an epic team up

[@SuperShanko]

Could’ve gone super bold and let it be Clock King doing the murders, only it’s revealed to be a living Bruce Wayne, something something distorted timelines and such.

[@quentinfogger5755]

What would happen if we saw this comic book event taking place on the Big Screen or TV Shows?

[@TheLawe]

amazing how a crash course with Coblepot got Dexter on the level to sneak his way into Arkham and knock out a few guards

[@alx42013]

All things said..... Geoff Johns is a awesome writer.

[@grahamcann1761]

Do we know that's Superman's blood on his face, not blood from Batman's fist? As always thank you so very much for the video.

[@angelocaputo2851]

I don’t know what everyone is thinking but, “the great darkness” that currupted Praiha and the all this talk about omniverses smells like a set up for the next biggest crossover in comics history, “the black winter” from Thor already told us and Dr Manhattan in Doomsday Clock already told us, so everything is going as planned

[@oonwing]

Just too cool!!!!

[@stefanagnone1793]

need a thomas wayne / batman origin story. we know why he became batman but we done know how he choose to be a bat or who trained him. i love to read that story.

I wasn't excited for another Flashpoint. But hot damn this comic is amazing! I can't wait for the next issue

[@Joshuadalewillis]

Missing the connection to the invincible story is the typical variant

[@TsuriaDragon]

Batman punches Superman causes a small ouch then Superman slaps him across the face (totally the Batman slapping Robin meme) knocking him out cold yup that felt right.

[@SuperShanko]

Geoff Johns: I’d like to make a Batman story where it’s Thomas Wayne and he’s investigating a murder spree? Squidward: How original…. Geoff Johns: And…. It’s Martha Wayne’s Joker? Squidward: Daring today, aren’t we?

All I want to see is are bat man meet flashpoint Batman

[@johnathanargow4762]

Zack snyder needs to make a flashpoint batman. Unpopular opinion. I hated what he did with batman, i respect the creative difference i get it. I just hate it. But i think he will be perfect for a flashpoint batman. Most of you will disagree with me on how he handled batman. But no one can ague with me to say that zack snyder would make the most epic flashpoint batman. It would be legendary.

[@Nitemerican]

Would love to see this end with some of the flash point characters staying in the normal continuity for good. A Thomas Wayne Batman added to the bat family spawns hella stories. Not to mention Martha Joker

[@deshawnedwards6412]

5:20 So they technically gave Flashpoint Superman Goku origin story?
