DC Reveals Details on Upcoming ‘Flashpoint Paradox’ Feature (via Newsarama)

16 Replies

DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation released new details this week on their upcoming feature Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox exclusively to Newsarama.  In addition to the release formats and confirmation of some casting details, the news came with the official description and the first image from the film.  Check it out below!

FLASHPOINTANIM

When time travel allows a past wrong to be righted for The Flash and his family, the ripples of the event prove disastrous as a fractured, alternate reality now exists where a Justice League never formed, and even Superman is nowhere to be found. Teaming with a grittier, more violent Dark Knight and Cyborg, Flash races to restore the continuity of his original timeline while this new world is ravaged by a fierce war between Wonder Woman’s Amazons and Aquaman’s Atlanteans. With breath taking action and an all-star voice cast, it’s a bold, emotional vision that will forever change the landscape of the DC Universe.

Given the outcome of the Geoff Johns/Andy Kubert series, could this mean future DC animated features will be set in the New 52 universe? What moments from Flashpoint are you most looking forward to seeing brought to (animated) life?

The movie is due to be released July 30, 2013.  Check out the full details, including early casting information, over at Newsarama!

Flash #18 Preview is Out

Flash #18 CoverMTV Geek has a preview of Flash #18.

  • The Trickster is accused of murder! Can The Flash help solve his case?
  • Plus, a surprising twist ending that will rock the world of…DIAL H?

Written by: Brian Buccellato
Art by: Marcio Takara
Cover by: Francis Manapul
Variant Cover by: Francis Manapul

This is the first of two issues on which Francis Manapul is taking a break from everything except the covers. He’ll be back as co-writer and artist for Flash #20, when they pick up the Reverse-Flash story.

MTV Geek lists it as a $3.99 book, but the cover clearly states $2.99, and we know the Flash isn’t adding pages. I call typo at MTV.

I think we have a good idea what the Dial H connection is now.

Using ComiXology’s web-based viewer on my desktop for the first time in quite a while (I use my Nexus 7 usually when reading digital comics) really brings home the importance of pixel density. The *size* of the page is great on my monitor. It ends up being about the same size as a print issue, actually. But it’s harder to read because the text is so pixelated. Sadly, there are a lot of other things I need to pay for before I can justify buying a retina display.

The Flash #18 arrives in stores next Wednesday, March 27.
