Yeah, that's good enough.
Now, from that link...
I said here...
Matter of fact, Snyder has said his Kara Zor-El was in one of the stasis pods in the ancient Kryptonian ship, and she sired the Amazons and Atlanteans. He even did a prequel comic about it.
Snyder-verse Supergirl is dead!
Calle-Supergirl can only be from another dimension!
Now! In "Flashpoint Paradox" Flash changes events before his mom's death because time ripples go backward in time as well as forward.
I know, it's dumb, but go with it.
They explain this better (with the visual aid of spaghetti) that time splits in both directions like a fulcrum.
Here's how I think Supergirl exists instead of Superman.
And, it covers how there's no Aquaman and Wonder Woman.
Having laid down the spaghetti theory of time, they don't sweat the background details too much of where Kara comes from.
Matter of fact, you may as well de-canonize the Snyder backstory of Kara being in the Fortress Of Solitude hibernation pod, since it was never actually onscreen.
As for Aquaman and Wonder Woman, they don't sweat those details either.
Flash goes Googling for them, and they don't turn up.
He calls Aquaman's dad, and he married some regular woman, so Aquaman wasn't born.
No reason to fan speculate if there were no Atlanteans at all for Mister Curry to marry, this cuts right to the chase.
The movie is already 2.5 fucking hours, we didn't need any extra bullshit.
What happens to Superman?
Two possibilities.
One of Zod's flunkies almost blows Kal-El's ship out of the sky.
If they had had an extra second to shoot, bam, no more Superman.
Alternately, baby Kal-El/Clark was sick due to Earth's atmosphere before he adapted, and got his powers.
If that sickness had been just a little it rougher, he'd have died then.
Actually, here they go into detail.
Kara got The Codex instead of baby Kal-El (they don't sweat the details as to how and why), and Zod killed the latter trying to drain The Codex out of him.
Boom. Easy-peasy.
Next, Batman.
My theory?
Keaton is Thomas, but somehow, his parents named him Bruce.
They don't sweat this either.
"Spaghetti theory" spackles over this too.
Now to the Gunn-verse!
In "Flashpoint Paradox" Flash undoes the change, but instead of restoring the first universe, it creates a third universe.
This is how they'll reboot to the Gunn-verse.
The post-Flashpoint universe will have Supergirl, plus the second Superman, and the third Batman.
Effectively, they'll be re-casted Batfleck and Cavil-Supes, like how Keaton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan are the same guy, but the recasting will separate the universes in audiences minds.
Weeell, there is a rebooting to a third timeline, but we leave off with the only immediately discernable change being Batman changed a second time into George Clooney.
James Gunn has spoiled his Batman won't be Clooney, so either Flash makes a fourth timeline, or Flash lives happily ever after in the Clooney-verse, and we'll get some other explanation for the Gunn-verse.
As for Supergirl, like I said in the Flash review, her fate is up in the air.
She dies in battle in a repeated Groundhog Day loop, but Flash prevents the timeline containing that loop, so we don't quite know where she ended up.
I hope we get her back.
I think the Clooney-Bats is meant to show us that anything goes now.
The upshot being, cool surprises are in store.
The downside being, prediction making is virtually out the window now.
And, there you go.
I also think duplicate Barry Allen will become Reverse Flash, and that both of them will die to get rid of Ezra Miller. But I don't need the marker board for that shit.
Well....almost nailed this one.
Duplicate-Barry does go bad, but his final form is some weird amalgam of Reverse Flash, and Savitar.
But then duplicate-Barry sees his future self and sacrifices himself to erase his evil future self.
Then original-Barry kind of rides off into the sunset.
We don't get permanent closure, just a putting out to pasture.
So yeah, my days of trying to speculate on DC are pretty much done.
Spaghetti-time is the ultimate vision blur-er.
