Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox

The New Frontier war cool (und hatte Lucy Lawless), Crisis on Two Earths stürmte mit einem ordentlichen Haufen Bösewichte heran, Doom war absolut cool, und schließlich ist The Flashpoint Paradox episch. Barry Allens Sehnsucht nach seiner früh verstorbenen Mutter hat die Tore zur Hölle geöffnet, was ein wenig an Clive Bakers bessere Tage erinnert, und so sollte es auch sein. Batman ist nicht da, Cyborg ist es nicht, die größten Bösewichte sind Kaiser Aquaman und die grausame Herrscherin Wonder Woman, deren Bündnis ein tödliches Gift für die ganze Welt ist. Sagen Sie Shazam! und schauen Sie sich dieses tolle Werk immer wieder an, und werden Sie nicht müde, es zu betrachten. (22.07.2013)

I was lucky enough to read this story as a comic. And as it turned out, it was transferred to the animated film almost exactly as it was written and drawn in the comic. In addition, this has a bit of a manga look, so it can also say something to those who may not necessarily like the classic mainstream. Considering that it's an alternative universe, or rather an adjusted reality, the story is a bit rougher than in the classic presentation of the mainstream superhero trend. Thanks to that, the film can also excite those who don't like superheroes or wish them dead. Some of them will have their wish granted. But other than that, it's not fundamentally twisted. Everything will be fixed anyway. (31.10.2013)

This suffers from the all too familiar DC “crossover" encounters that have no idea of what good taste is. This almost ruined the feisty son and this is even worse. Instead of focusing on a just few characters, this is a procession of one big name after another. Not that they have any task to perform, but simply so that they can appear, have their twenty seconds of fame and geeks can strike them off their wet dream “this one versus that one" bucket list. So although you get to see no end of DC characters, but this list of names is so long that it doesn’t even get to the main ones who we are most interested in. Which is a shame because the adult nature of the subject matter has huge potential and mainly does no end of good for Flash the character. (02.11.2013)
