Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is the newest film from DC animation studios based on the comics crossover event Flashpoint by Geoff Johns and artist Andy Kubert. There are a handful of deviations from the comics but the animated film ranks among the best of DC's animated movies. The voice cast is spot on with many familiar voices returning to their respected roles such as Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Nathan Fillion (the people's Hal Jordan) as Green Lantern. The film has a very epic, cinematic feel to it and the action scenes are amazing. This is some of the best on screen Flash action sequences ever and its about time we get a film feature of another character than Batman or Superman. This film also further proves that Barry Allen is an interesting, deep character that can be used on the big screen. On the downside, I'm not too keen on the animation style. Over the past few films, DC animation has been sliding more and more to modern anime styles. Which is fine but some of the character designs don't fit with the rest of the DC universe. Wonder Woman looks a little odd and Aquaman should have a neck (just saying). There are a lot of side plots that are introduced such as the world of the new Thomas Wayne Batman that is explored in the spin off comics, but never utilized in the film. Feels a bit like a missed opportunity. I think the movie gets a bit overly violent at times. There are a lot of brutal things in the book but I think the film overdoes it a little (i.e the fate of Grifter). Despite the questionable title, Justice League: Flashpoint (which is what it should of been named) ranks among the best of the DC animated movies and should most definitely please fans of the material and characters. I would also recommend it as a solid introduction to the Flash character, for those curious or unfamiliar.

After watching this DC animated film for lunch today by myself here's my spoiler-free review of Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox! As usual, I'll be talking about my thoughts, memories of the voice cast and also the LEGO DC Super-Villians game! Then my conclusion/rating! The story this is based on is from the Flashpoint comic book it was the first time they did it then they later adapted it into the third season of the Flash TV show! The voice actors/actresses include; the late great Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan, Michael B. Jordan as Cyborg (later in the 2010s he was Johnny Storm/Human Torch in that rubbish reboot of Fant4stic then Killmonger in Black Panther), C. Thomas Howell as the Reverse-Flash who later returns in LEGO DC Super-Villians and a bunch of celebrities who have been in movies/TV! I enjoyed this so much more than The Flash 2023 film (which thankfully flopped LOL) that I'm excited for Crisis on Infinite Earths the biggest crossover in the history of television! Overall this was a fun Flashpoint movie that has similar story elements from The Flash 2014 series & 2023 with the idiotic lunatic Ezra Miller I won't watch the live-action 2023 version again but instead watch a breakdown of The Flash Season 3 premiere on YouTube! That's why I'm giving this an 8/10! I look forward to watching Batman: Mask of the Phantasm for its 30th anniversary! ;-)
