Goofs

After Young Barry's mom grabs him by the shirt, the camera angle shows their broken down car by the road. A few shots later as Barry takes off running towards the gas station, the distance between the road and the car has increased by about double. The patches of grass around the car also change around between shots.

User Reviews

Totally recommended

Amazing reboot of a very important but slightly forgotten DC History. The animation is far from how good the history was adapted, even if there were a few modifications about the comic one. It comes in a very good moment as a preparation for the Justice League movie that is getting planned for the forthcoming years. This parallel world vision makes you see another side of these powerful heroes and the how the reality can be changed by minimum touch of the history. It also makes you understand the power of those we tend to think are secondary characters of the Justice League but also how the lack of the most important ones make a huge difference.
