What Is... DC's Flashpoint!

Not a dream, not an imaginary story, not an elseworld. This is Flash Fact: When Barry Allen wakes at his desk, he discovers the world has changed. Family is alive, loved ones are strangers, and close friends are different, gone, or worse. It's a world on the brink of a cataclysmic war-but where are Earth's Greatest Heroes to stop it?

I’ve always enjoyed this story. It can be as edgy as it wants, because it’s literally the biff casino universe that the flash needs to change. No matter what Barry still has hope to change the world through the whole story and I think that’s how he should be written

[@steelheart538]

I like that even though it is edgy, it isn't so much so that it is just ridiculous.

[@harvest44492]

Its funny you mention the Biff Casino universe bc doesn't Thomas fund all of his batman shit with casinos?

[@BALDFURY69]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate the back to the future 2 reference. Biff casino universe is a brilliant description 😂.

[@jamilfrost6217]

Ah yes, flashpoint. I use to watch the animated movie repeatedly with my brother and sister. Good times

[@Hi_Just_Fred]

My last memory of flashpoint is hearing someone who watched the flashpoint movie with a friend saying it was stupid seeing barry scar himself with the failed lightning strike then doing it again.

was it chris from oneyplays?

Yea it doesn’t really make sense. He did it once, didn’t work. He did it again, worked. Never explained what the difference between the two attempts. You’d think that as a scientist, he would have a more scientific approach

[@jesustyronechrist2330]

Smokey out here looking like a lumberjack and making the best goddamn comic content on KZbin.

[@oliwardcomics]

ive already read the graphic novel, but your narration and the voice acting made this a whole different experience. this video a great way to recap flashpoint without having to sit down and read it again

[@DarkInception]

This was an excellent reading! You're still extremely underrated Smokey. Keep up the amazing work

[@pkrockinomega4184]

I wouldn't mind seeing you do the tie-ins. Also, I think this was supposed to be just a five-part flash story, but DC wanted a reboot and this story just so happened to be the perfect excuse to do it. Either way, the new 52 happened and changed the DC universe and that's how it is. Good video!

[@Nono-hk3is]

The timing and music you added to the second lightning strike scene actually makes it interesting.

[@raffaeleferrari9503]

Instant classic of yours man, you're amazing!

[@DncesWithWolves]

I missed these 'What Is' videos❤️💯

[@JustKandyMan1]

As someone who wasn't a big Flash fan this story really made want to invest more into his stories. Saying that reading this the first time and Papa Bruce's letter made me sob like a baby lmao. Great video and an easy subscribe!

[@SmokeysVideos]

I'd highly recommend Mark Waid's run of Flash!

[@phenomenal8196]

you seriously need far more views and subscribers. It’s criminal how KZbin is hiding you. Don’t give up, I’m sure you will rise up

[@johndavis1290]

Another GREAT WHAT IS VIDEO!! GOOD WORK!!!!💯 thanks Smokey

[@TheOvervoid]

Thomas says all that in the letter then does a complete 180 and ends up getting Alfred killed

[@bruhmoment.-.]

this is such a good video man, why doesn’t this have a million views

[@joe3jby148]

It breaks my heart because DCEU Batman won’t have this closure 😢

[@wait_in_gold_ON_SPOTIFY]

He should’ve had better movies

[@EwYucky]

Would love to see more of this universe, always love seeing the flashpoint batman if there is more, great video as always :)

[@foldabotZ]

One thing I've always been confused about, tho. At the end of Flashpoint here, Bruce and Barry know each other, as they've always had but later in the New 52 JL Origin story, they meet for the first time.

[@sertorrhenclegane]

It's because Barry emerged in 2011 and he met Bruce on 06 as of the New 52 timeline, hence why Justice League Origin opens with the "5 Years Ago" banner.

[@tristan9648]

Love the sound effects

[@SmokeysVideos]

Thanks! I think this video has the MOST sound effects I've used.

[@ForeveraBoss117]

Even outside of comics, you could really find out if you are in an lternate reality pretty quick by asking enough people if they know who Batman and Superman

[@tree_kanagarroo]

I LOVE U AND UR VIDEOS! NEVER STOP; BEST WISHES MY FRIEND!

[@sparkageddon3186]

New fan. I enjoy your work. I love Flashpoint. I have both Flashpoint Paradox and Flashpoint Beyond. Thomas Wayne Flashpoint Batman is no joke.

[@TotallySearch]

Dude looking like Marvel's Buried Alien

[@parkermccroskey]

I prefer everything about the comic over the movie except for the letter. I like it better when Batman takes off his mask to read it from the very beginning showing it was always Bruce reading it instead of Batman and then Bruce when he takes Gaia mask off halfway through.

[@ronyventura9301]

Nice beard bro I'm jealous. Love your videos.

[@cloudheadr]

amazing video

[@Zero-j5r8n]

I have read the comic and seen the animated movie, but I feel like the animated movie did it better because it gives you the idea that Barry is the one who ran back in time. Then instead of waking up in his office and realizing That he doesn't have his flash ring. But then again people do have their own opinions

[@HHUUUGE]

Thanks for looking out for me. I was wondering how they got a tiger.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

The Flashpoint is a great story...can't say the same for The New 52, though

Flashpoint was a good story but oh boy the consequences... The result was the New 52 or the beginning of end for DC IMO. DC hasn't been good since.

Reverse Flash and Professor Zoom are different people

honestly flash point to me aint so much a problem. but i do think dc should have embraced doomsday clock

[@TevyaSmolka]

Personally for me Wally west was my flash growing up and honestly Barry Allen was just so boring and really not my favorite character in my opinion.

This comic is better than the movie

[@gravy7350]

There is no audio

[@SmokeysVideos]

Should be working now. KZbin was still processing the video.

[@teleportedbreadfor3days]

A decade to make Reverse Flash the most pointless villain in the DCAMU in contrast to the comic, to say the least, where he revealed that everything was to make himself a living paradox. Then much later, Hell to Pay comes out, and we get a failed attempt to make Reverse Flash significant. The Flashpoint comic is so much better

[@Thephinxst]

Yo WHAT

[@saidi7975]

Flashpoint is pretty mid.

[@jonathonriddle9922]

"... Geoff Johns had all the ideas at DC comics." So true! And that's why I stopped reading DC comics. With the exception of 52, I haven't liked a single comic Johns has written.

[@boringrays]

it's all thanks to this writer that wally west has no place in DC anymore and Barry had a good send off too
