I loved the part where Thomas Wayne tells her that Bruce followed in his fathers footsteps and she ask if he is a doctor. He says no and her face is like oh no. One of the best moments in comics.

Flashpoint Universe finally showing everyone how badass Aquaman could be.

I'm sure this was mentioned by now, but it shows Selina saying to Jim, "You never had kids, did you?" He says, "or a wife, time kinda got away from me". So, that's the answer to Barbra's whereabouts. She was never born. Love the channel, man.

Thomas Wayne is the best part of this series.

In Flashpoint universe Jim Gordan never got married or had kids. It was on a panel in the video.

I loved everything about flashpoint, I think character changes are glossed over to a degree partially simply to the fact that every aspect of history was changed. I understood as i saw it that billy batson for example NOT growing up with superman to idolize made him not as "pure" and thus it took multiple children to form Shazam, similar situation to no Barbara gordon.

Oh it's mentioned that Barbra Gordon does not exist since Gordon did not marry due to his being busy with helping Gotham

The Flash is DC's jesus, long live the fastest man alive

@comicsexplained 13:25 jim says to catwomen he never got married or had kids

Hey Rob. Love your channel. Thank you! What I wanted to say was about Barbara Gordon. You said that you didn't really know what happen to her just a couple panels after Commissioner explained he never got married, never had kids. Thanks again! You're awesome!

Lately you've been doing a lot of stories I actually care about....maybe it's because I mostly like dc and only like a few marvel characters (like moon knight)

This is defiantly dark but for the most part understandable reaction to the lost of a child in that particular way. Loved the presentation

I wish you could have mentioned that the reason that Martha snapped at the end which led to her death, was Thomas admitting to her that, even in a world where she & Thomas died and Bruce "lived", Bruce still "died" and became a Batman. That Bruce never had a normal life, and would presumably meet a sad end (such as the stories from "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?" talked about). That Martha killed herself because even in a "better world" where her son lived, her son still died and became, what she perceived to be, an empty shell of who he used to be, a shell of who he could have become.

I have a feeling that Heath Ledger's joker had a big influence in Martha Wayne's design in flashpoint cause looking at her I thought of Nolan's Joker

The story was really sad and really good. I prefer you continue.

It was cool to hear about the stand alone batman flashpoint comic. Didn't know it was out there. I thought it was just the flashpoint comic by itself. So thanks for sharing that. I'd be interested to hear the other characters back stories.

I would enjoy more flashpoint coverage. It's a great story and getting more in depth discussion is always interesting in these alternate realities

Awesome video. I was completely enthralled by your storytelling. PLEASE make more and don't just reread the story like some other places. Thanks!

One of my favorite stories in recent memory

I'm loving the in depth covering of Flashpoint.

I read FP years ago. This is a nice refresher. Thanx.

Wow, I love this. Digging the theme(s) lately Rob!

dude this is the most exciting thing i heard in a long time. i look forward to going over the flash point tie ins.

I'm so excited that you covered this storyline with the Waynes!!! Thanks!

seriously man . You always do a awesome job . And unlike the other comic channels you don't have an annoying voice . Keep up the good work man

This story was and is one of my all time favourites. Such an awesome spin on the iconic Batman/Joker mythos.

Awesome video as always. Yes please on more Flashpoint, including all the side stories.

I can't wait to see more of these! Flashpoint universe is so interesting!

that was badass rob. i loved the going further into the spinoff of flash point instead of just doing flashpoint i saw the cartoon on netflix but it didnt go into that detail with Martha as the joker i hope ya do more!!!

I just watched the Flashpoint movie today, so this little coincidence is quite badass. Thanks Rob!!

Excellent work yet again Rob... Best narrator on the net, bro.

Rob, to answer your question about where Barbra is, look at 13:25 right in this video. Seline asks Gorden "You never had kids, did you?" And Gorden explains that no, that in time timeline he never got around to having a wife, so no Daughter.

Thanks for covering this! I wasn't a big fan of 52 but I LOVE the flash point. I thought it was highly dynamic and showed DC characters in a lot of ways we'd never seen them before. Ways that were so raw. I think this was in part because it wasn't expected to be a long lasting issue for those characters to be established in, however, because of that I feel like they didn't hold back within how they portrayed characters.

I am loving this in depth story of the flashpoint event. Do continue.

Great video, keep up the flashpoint alternate stories!

Great job man!!! I love your work!

Out of all the flashpoint tie-ins, this version of Batman and Joker fascinated me.

Love this setting. More would be sweet. As always, thanks for the video.

This was great! A captivating story. Please do more

Subscribed, definitely interested in hearing more about the flashpoint universe

Wow!!! Damn!!! That's a CRAAAZY ass story.. I LIKE IT!!!!

I love it keep up the good work rob!

So what I wanna do here, it took me a week to realize he said that in every video

Wow!!!! Yeah, Rob...I'd definitely like to see more from the Flashpoint Universe. I just read Flashpoint and saw the DC animated movie, but never read the tie-ins. I'd like for you to continue this.

I read this story a while back but still watching this video anyway. Rob's recaps are too good.

Yes talk about anything and everything flash point please! i love flashpoint characters and the altered universe. make more videos :)

Please continue... These are all awesome.

Yooo this was very cool. More please!

MOAR!! I love your videos!

Roobb love the D.C content. I listened to your podcast and agree with the loss of interest from Civil War 2

I saw the movie TV movie and loved it. Good to know the backstory so more videos would be appreciate

"Run over Flashpoint"...good one. Barbara may not have even been born, Jim Gordon mentioned he had never been married.

wow this story is amazing I've loved the Flashpoint moive they did a few years back but it's cool to see the original story with more depth and explanation the whole dynamic of the Flashpoint timeline and how everyone was effect was something I always wanted to see more of and in greater detail please cover more of this rob

I might have been a bit inebriated, but dayum, that Thomas Wayne reveal sent some crazy chills down my spine.

Great video again Rob, lovin it! You should most definitely cover the character origins from the Flashpoint U as well as the main arc. I know thats a lot of work but it would be awesome. Im a sucker for ANYTHING Bat related so naturally i loved Thomas and Martha's story from Flashpoint. Wish DC would have released the Flashpoint animated movie in different parts, to cover more of the info left out of the movie, great movie, just missing alot. Rob i never hear you talk about the DC or Marvel animated movies, do you like them at all?

I'd luv more vids about the Flashpoint Universe. When I was reading it in real time, I couldn't get enough.

This was excellent as usual

this actually got my eyes watery... so sad

Ever since I saw the cartoon, I've always wanted to know about Thomas Wayne. Thank you.

Thanks Rob~ Can't wait for more~~

Good to see Andy Kubert art again. Haven't seen too much of it since 90's X-Men.

Love your videos Rob!

this was a good video. I think you covered a lot of the main points and important details. a few things were missing, however, like how thomas owns all the crime in gotham, the status of others like harvey dent, bullock, and montoya, and, most importantly, how martha only runs off because thomas tells her that bruce becomes batman. despite those missing details, I still enjoyed the video. thanks!

love this story, keep it up!

This is one of my favourite parts of the Flashpoint event. Reading this story for the first time is something I'll remember for the rest of my life.

This Thomas Wayne stuff was really good. How about that Flash Rebirth though? it would be great if you could upload it at godspeed.

damn I sub yo you about a few weeks back and I want to say I like all your vids and ty for what you do keep up the good work. 👍

I've commented 3 times already and it's because this storyline was so amazing to me. PLEASE dive into cyborg's origin as well as why Diana and aquaman are at war.

the Flashpoin event is the best man ! continum to make this videos ! :)

Wow i need to read this. Amazing video.

That cleared up a lot. Thanks!

Loved it. I want more.

She lost it when Thomas told her that their son follows in the footsteps of his father. "He becomes a doctor?" NO "OH GOD!" Martha really hates batman, yet her name is the one thing that prevents him from killing people apparently. "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!?"👿

Another great upload brother👍🏻

One of the things I loved about Flashpoint, is it seems to be the start of Cyborg being a part of the justice league, something I think he was long overdue for

great job :) keep it up

This is where Heath Leger's got Jokers' inspirational preformance.

Dude your gonna learn me on all the comics!

This was a cool video; you should make/do one about the Flashpoint Green Lantern story.

Please do more of the tie ins they sound dark as hell...and I like it.

this is weird. i felt like i spoiled your video for myself since i've watched the animated film of flash point. but anyways this was great and keep up the good work.

YES more please!!! and gracias

This is an exceptional story and blending The FLASH's first Flashpoint issue with the three issue miniseries for Thomas Wayne's BATMAN was a perfect choice for this video.

hey Rob. Please do the entire Flashpoint. It seems intriguing. especially the thomas and Martha Wayne stories. Scared the shit out of me. Please make this happen. I realize it will likely make a 3 hour video but it will be sooo great and EPIC.

This was a great "Comics Explained". Can you keep doing more alt timeline events. Red Son is my favorite, but I'd love to hear your take on it.

Going back and listening to this I have to say how fkn AWKWARD Rob sounds being serious! I got my ring man, nothing but but love! 🤣

Having these is really cool to me as I've only seen the Flashpoint movie.

Great video - please explain what happened to other characters in the Flashpoint!

I saw the cartoon version of this on Netflix a couple months back. Really a very interesting take on the DC universe.

Yes! Please do all the characters and the world of the Flashpoint

Wow, The Flashpoint Paradox animated film did NOT show the Joker part.

I enjoyed hearing the specifics about batman. I've always heard about Flashpoint but only the overall story

I would love to hear more about the Flashpoint universe. I watched the animated film, but was always curious about the details.

Rob, Barbera doesnt exist, at least not in any way that matters. Jim commented in that first panel with Selina that he *never had the time to have a wife or kids* . That's a fairly big thing to miss for having shown it on screen. To be fair though it was just a throwaway comment in that one panel.

love the video

Wow I'm surprised at how loyal the Flashpoint Paradox movie was. Yes I'd love to see more of this, Flashpoint is a very interesting take on the DC universe.

it's a very interesting timeline I enjoy it hope to see more

You should do some more of these videos, flashpoint was my favorite

Jim Gordon never had a wife or family so Barbra was never born

I love flashpoint and have always been curious about the other changes to the characters in the story
