    The fact that Joker's real name is never going to get out of that flashpoint universe makes it acceptable, and finding a way to make Thomas and Bruce co-exist without compromising much of either storyline. I'd say DC is heading for the better.

      Say what you will about Geoff Johns when he was co president of DC Films and you'd probably be right but when it comes to comic book writing, dude is one of the best in the biz, IMO.

      If you like Geoff Johns, you should check out green lantern rebirth. It's a great story and it got me back into comics and the green lantern corps. If you're a green lantern fan, it's a must read. If you're not, I still strongly recommend it.

    In case you guys wanna read the letter in full letter form. The letter wasn't that dramatic but for some reason it made me shed a tear just because of the fact that a father wrote a letter to his son across a different universe. Thomas may never met bruce as the batman, but the letter is the connection he made for both of them.
    Dear son,
    There’s only one thing I know about life, I know something's happened by chance and somethings happen because we make them happen. Barry Allen was once hunted by the past. But when he became the flash, he left the ghosts behind. He found love, a family and for the first time ever, friends. Barry thought yesterday was behind him, but somebody wouldn’t let him escape it. When Barry came to me for help, I turned him away, I’m not the hero of this story. I’m a man who's been corrupted by his own unbearable pain, I’m a man who has too much blood on his hands to be called good, I’m a man who had nothing left to live for - until the day I met the flash. Your friend taught me we can’t only live a life for those we’ve lost, we have to live a life for those we still have. If I got a second chance, I would hope I’d come to understand that, to live that, like you should Bruce. That's all parents want for their children, what we never had, your mother and I want you to be happy, promise me you’ll try and I will too, wherever I am.
    Love you always, your father
    - Thomas.

    • @muchanic

      Didn't Thomas meet Bruce in Tom King's run of Batman just a couple of years ago? Then Thomas was part of Justice league Incarnate for a moment and transported back to Flashpoint universe (where this series picked it up)

  • @dragonmaster3099
    @dragonmaster3099 Рік тому +11

    Funny how two nights ago, I was rewatching your video on Flashpoint Batman and Joker, and immediately thought afterward: it's so sad that Martha had to die and Thomas didn't have the chance to help her. I'm so happy to see that it was redeemed in comic storyline. I just hope the writers don't decide (as they done too many times before) to turn it into yet another tragic outcome. It would be lovely to see Martha and Thomas mend their relationship despite having lost Bruce.

    I think the DCAU “Justice League” episode “Legends” is a good example (where Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Martian Manhunter, and Flash transported to a in-universe comicbook universe version of themselves known as the Justice Guild of America which John Stewart read as a kid). Time passes normally like in their own universe but the world was actually nuclear post-apocalyptic waste and the JGA all died out the same time the comic stopped publishing.

Which Tom King also added the main reason Bruce is into her is because she reminds him of Martha Wayne.
