Flashpoint

In 2011, DC Comics shook up its universe with Flashpoint, a five-issue miniseries written by Geoff Johns with art by Andy Kubert. The story sends the Flash into a terrifyingly altered timeline where history has gone catastrophically wrong, pitting him against a world at war and a Batman who is not Bruce Wayne. This event served as the direct catalyst for DC's "New 52" relaunch, making it a pivotal moment in modern DC history.
