Yeah, I went over to a friend's to watch the Flashpoint Paradox.

To me its a mixed bag. First off, let me state that I was raised on Wally West as The Flash. I knew all about Barry through Wally's thoughts and memories and the occasional cross-temporal team-ups but was never really into the character as much as Wally. Wally was alos perhaps the most successful and organic of Legacy heroes who inherited his mentor's mantle and grew to be respected by Barry's peers (the Justice League...etc etc).

OK Flash rant out of the way. The animation was hard for me to judge. I think they sacrificed some surface detail in the animation of faces, Wonder Woman specifically looks pretty....I dunno.

The action looks pretty kinetic though to me at least the gore was a little overdone. And the voice work even by Kevin Conroy felt kind of phoned in.

What I did love about this was how Aquaman was portrayed. And somehow Young Justice Aqualad made an awesome cameo. There were some unsettling scenes...I won't spoil them for anyone but let's just say Diana takes things a little too far.

Oddly enough the character I was hoping to see animated the Element Woman was absent. I loved her design in the comics but I guess she was for the most part inconsequential to the plot.
