Warner Bros. Animation and DC Ent.’s new original movie Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is one of this week’s much-anticipated titles, which arrives on DVD/Blu-ray Tuesday (July 30). Directed by Warner Bros. veteran Jay Oliva (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns) and produced by James Tucker (Superman: Unbound), this exciting new animated feature showcases the voices of Justin Chambers, C. Thomas Howell, Cary Elwes, C. Thomas Howell and Sam Daly. The movie is based on the landmark comic-book miniseries by Geoff Johns & Andy Kubert.
The plot involves a disastrous time travel which creates an alternate reality where the Justice League has never been formed and Superman is nowhere to be found.
