168: Flashpoint

In anticipation for The Flash, we read a book that inspired it. Flashpoint by Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert. A revisit to one of our favorite comic book events that change the timeline and created the New 52 universe.  A world in which only Barry Allen seems to be aware of significant differences between the regular timeline and the altered one, including Cyborg's place as the world's quintessential hero, much like Superman is in the main timeline, with Superman himself being held captive as a lab-rat by the United States government within an underground facility in Metropolis. In addition, Thomas Wayne is Batman, and a war between Wonder Woman and Aquaman has decimated western Europe.
