** If it's event-driven, Owlman's plan was an even more spectacular failure than that. The bomb's arrival would've been a universe-seperating event, meaning the bomb would only destroy a world in which it existed to begin with. None of the earths concerned in this story match that description, so even if Owlman had succeeded, he'd only have blown up himself and an earth that only existed because the bomb did. In short, he would've been ''less'' destructive than Ultraman would have, even offing himself in the process.

[[WMG: This is set in the DCAU.]]

The differences in appearance are generally negligible, with the exception of the Martian Manhunter (who's a shapeshifter anyways). The biggest inconsistency is Hal Jordan as Green Lantern instead of John Stewart, but even that can be fixed. Clearly, John Stewart, who was severely injured and whose ring was destroyed, is still recovering and has yet to get a new ring. Hal Jordan is his temporary replacement while Kyle Rayner is busy with the Corps.

Superboy-Prime lives there, after all, and we all know how irritable he can be. Taking into account [[HopeSpot his most recent]] [[BlackestNight misadventure]], it doesn't take a whole lot of imagination to guess what happened. Nekron was defeated and BL-Laurie was destroyed before she could kill him. In a rage, he laid waste to the Earth and set out to do the same to a defenseless universe.

In comics canon, Owen is the long-lost son of the [[CaptainEthnic blindingly Australian]] George Harkness/Captain Boomerang, and apparently inherited superspeed from his mother's side of the family. Superficially, he's a redhead like Johnny (and Wally). Maybe on this Earth, instead of being adopted by the American Mercers, Owen was raised by his father's family in Australia. Instead of ending his life [[spoiler:[[BlackestNight feeding children to zombies]]]], he helps save the multiverse through RedemptionEqualsDeath.

[[WMG: The parallel Earth in this film is the only one in the multiverse where the Crime Syndicate lasted long enough for outside intervention to be necessary to defeat them.]]
I know this doesn't quite match how Owlman says the multiverse works, but it would definitely explain why we don't see dozens of Batmen and Owlmen on Earth Prime. Plus, it would (ironically) add extra meaning to the way the movie ends.

* Good Lex seems to recognize Flash's reference to Star Trek suggesting that the series exists here. Given that its the Mirror Universe, it could be that the Star Trek series here is also about the Mirror Universe we see in the episode Mirror Mirror. Rather than an optimistic tale of the future, Gene Roddenberry decides to explore mankinds dark side. Or its possible that he was influenced by the Syndicate to create a series to show that mankind is no better than the evil supers that rule the world.

He was the heroic version of Comicbook/Deathstroke, but he had a SecretIdentity, of coarse. Lex did seem to speak to the President like he was an old friend. He left and hung up the costume because of some [[HandicappedBadass injury that prevented him from continuing]], which is why he didn't use that identity during the film. He ran for president so he could help out from the sidelines, but when the Crime Syndicate started killing heroes and threatening innocents, he decided he needed to obey to spare as many lives as he could.

* John Stewart would have said then. Also, he may have already started growing a beard at that point. And he decides on shaving his head. And an extra scene where John gives J'onn some advice on his budding romance, due to his failed relationship with Hawkgirl.

* Additionally, perhaps a different superhero (instead of Black Lightning[[note]]due to not being allowed to use without paying royalty to Tony Isabella.[[/note]]) would have joined the new expanded Justice League.

* No see, it all goes back to word of god. The multiverse is determined by events not decisions. For every instance where Owlman even arrived at Earth Prime there is an automatic split where there is an Earth Prime no one has visited. His plan was doomed to fail from the start.

** How is this a ''wild'' guess? I thought it was pretty clear within the movie itself that Slade's wife was killed by Ultraman because she 'had a mouth on her'.

The real reason why she was assassinated. All the more reason why Rose decided its time to stand up against them. The reason why Slade tries to talk her out of it because she doesn't want her to end up dead like her mother. Rose blames her father for her death, in a way, because he had the power to stop them but chose to bow down to their demands.

* Owlman failed big time. First: Multiverse was destroyed several times before, and he was too preoccupied to notice. In our universe (which is not part of their universe) it's called - RetCon was it?
Second: He wasn't the only Villian to attempt this destruction. In Turtles Forever Shredder came up with same idea, and since Batman And Turtles met before... So there.
Third: By not shutting bomb off he remained within boundaries of Multiverse. If he would've stopped the bomb, and picked up the remote, he would've succeded. But he didn't and thus made a choice that sprang another world where he died of hypotermia. But yeah... It doesn't matter.
