Batman, who is now Thomas Wayne, rather than his son, is uncharacteristically brutal. Hal Jordan never became Green Lantern Abin Sur remains the protector of Sector 2814. Likewise, Barry's enemy Captain Cold - or rather, Citizen Cold - has filled his spot as Central City's protector. Superman is nowhere to be found in his place, Cyborg is the world's greatest hero. What would you do if you woke up one morning and discovered that everything around you had changed, so much so that even the familiar is so alien, they are almost unrecognizable? And not only that, but this new world is teetering on the brink of superpowered war? This is the world which Barry Allen finds himself in this is the world of Flashpoint. 'Everything you know will change in a flash!'
