After regaining his speed with help from Thomas Wayne's Batman, Barry concludes that this must be the work of Reverse-Flash, having gone back in time to make sure the League is never formed. However, once Barry comes to blows with Thawne, he reveals that it was Barry himself that caused this new Flashpoint universe, a result of him trying to stop Thawne from killing Barry's mother in the past. Once realizing his error, Barry enters the time stream, stopping himself and allowing events to follow their natural course. While this makes things right, it's not completely the same, kicking off DC Comics' New 52 reboot. But what if The Flash failed?

As the preview and cover image show,Tales From the Dark Multiverse: Flashpoint #1will show what happens if Barry is unable to reset reality and dies trying, leaving the Flashpoint universe to continue on in a Dark Multiverse reality. The preview reveals that Thomas Wayne will still be operating in Gotham as Batman, while Aquaman and Wonder Woman will still be readying themselves for all-out war. The preview also mentions Reverse-Flash, and what he's going to do now that his greatest rival is no more, indicating that he may "eclipse Barry Allen's legacy" as he embraces the dark new world that the Flash created.

Will Eobard Thawne become the hero he's always wanted to be, but "couldn't" because of Barry Allen? Doubtful. While he might think he could step into Barry shoes, it's more likely that Thawne will still be a villain in actuality, becoming a dark new Flash. Fans will have to wait and see whenTales From the Dark Multiverse: Flashpoint #1releases November 17th
