Review: Justice League – The Flashpoint Paradox / Cert: 12A / Director: Jay Oliva / Screenplay: James Krieg / Starring: Justin Chambers, Michael B. Jordan, Kevin McKidd, Cary Elwes, C. Thomas Howell / Release Date: July 30th (US), TBC (UK)

Based on the DC crossover story Flashpoint, Justice League – The Flashpoint Paradox is the latest film in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies series. Don’t let the title fool you, though, this is most definitely a Flash film. The Justice League appear in the opening scene, as the team help Flash (Chambers) to take down Eobard Thawne’s Zoom (Howell) and a gang of B-list villains. From here, we see Barry Allen waking up in his office, although things aren’t quite what they seem. It’s soon apparent that Barry Allen no longer holds the power of the Flash, but that’s not all that’s not quite right with the world.

The world…
