Summary

DC made a movie centered around the multiverse concept 11 years ago and there is no better time to revisit it ahead of the DCU's launch. Between the MCU and the DCEU, the multiverse has taken center stage in modern superhero movies, and for good reason. Not only is the concept of multiple universes existing in tandem very on-brand for fictional worlds in which chemical-based accidents awaken time-control powers, but it is also the ideal MacGuffin to explain multiple plot holes while opening up countless opportunities to explore compelling narratives.
The DCEU briefly explored the implications of a multiverse in 2023's The Flash, where it touched on one of the eponymous hero's most compelling runs from DC Comics: "Flashpoint." The shared story revolves around Flash's ability to break the time barrier and subsequently alter the course of history, with the butterfly effect giving way to abject disaster. However, this isn't the first time that the DCEU has adapted the comic book run. Its 2013 movie, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, is the first cinematic adaptation - and it is one of DC's most underrated adaptations.
