The Flash: DC Comics Flashpoint moments that should have been used
By Mark Lynch
4. Wonder Woman and Aquaman battle
During Flashpoint, the main conflict is the war between Themyscira and Atlantis. The trailer for The Flash showed something different, in that General Zod is the big villain in the movie. However, the film should have gone in a different direction in looking at the war between Themyscira and Atlantis. While Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa did appear, we failed to see either during the alternative timeline storyline plot.
An appearance from Wonder Woman or Aquaman like in the comics was unlikely and it could be too much in one movie. However, even a small part where Zod intervened in the war and defeated both armies would have been cool.
3. Krypto and Kal- El
During Flashpoint, Cyborg, Barry, and Batman pass dog bones as they attempt to save Superman. These are the remains of Superman’s dog, Krypto. It was a sad visual, but a brilliant move. This showed that the world is truly messed up. Even dogs were experimented on.
The bones of animals may be too much, but Krypto being tested on could be a dark and eye-catching scene. Then there’s Superman. Kara Zor-El may have been the only Kryptonian that lived, but that doesn’t mean Krypto wasn’t there. Seeing him dead would have been an easy way to get people talking.
