When Flash went back in time to save his mom, he caused the DCU a lot of pain and agony. Find out the ten worst things about the Flashpoint timeline.
One of the worst things to ever happen to the DC Universe falls squarely on the shoulders of the Flash. In a desperate bid to save his mother’s life, Barry Allen went back in time to stop her murder at the hands of the Reverse-Flash. However, in doing so, the Scarlet Speedster caused a diverging timeline known as the Flashpoint.
9 Made Captain Cold a 'Hero' Barry Allen’s changes made it so he never became the Flash. And in his absence, his longtime nemesis, Captain Cold, rose to become Central City’s greatest protector. Flashpoint: Citizen Cold sees Snart taking care of crime in Flash’s city. And while the people love Cold , they don’t know he is secretly a criminal. Wally West was the first to discover this fact, and he paid for it with his life when Snart caught up to him.
6 Murdered One-Half of Firestorm Millions of people died in the Flashpoint reality, but some deaths are far more gruesome than others. Flashpoint: Legion of Doom #1 sees the Flash Rogue Heatwave acting much more unhinged than ever. Heatwave tracks down the nuclear hero Firestorm and waits for them to split into Jason Rusch and Ronnie Raymond. Before the two know what hit them, Heatwave burns Jason to death and demands that Ronnie make Heatwave the second half of Firestorm.
3 Killed Bruce Wayne and Made His Parents Batman and Joker The darkest night in Crime Alley got even darker in the Flashpoint world. Flashbacks in Flashpoint: Batman – Knight of Vengeance #3 reveal that instead of Thomas and Martha Wayne getting gunned down by Joe Chill, it was Bruce Wayne that was murdered. This diversion from the norm radically changed Martha and Thomas forever.

'Quiet luxury': No flash, no logos, but big-time styleThey’re the biggest of brands. But with no logos. And that’s the whole point. Call it stealth wealth or quiet luxury. For the rich and those who aspire, logo-free, low-key fashion with large price tags is having a moment among people who can spend big in the face of higher inflation and a volatile economy. And retailers are taking note, along with more designers looking to capture the rich and their wannabes alike. Think Gwyneth Paltrow and her head-to-toe Prada, cashmere sweaters and Celine boots during her recent week in a Utah courtroom.
