Flashpoint

In 2011, DC Comics and writer Geoff Johns, alongside artist Andy Kubert, redefined the DC Universe with Flashpoint, a five-issue miniseries that sent the Flash racing through a warped timeline. This blockbuster event reshaped the world’s greatest heroes into dark, unfamiliar versions of themselves, with Batman as a violent Thomas Wayne and Wonder Woman and Aquaman locked in a devastating war. Its seismic consequences directly led to the launch of DC’s "New 52" era, making Flashpoint a pivotal, must-read cornerstone of modern DC history.
