Justice League
Batman
Thomas Wayne
Species: Human
Appearances: Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox | Suicide Squad: Hell to Paynote
Voiced by: Kevin McKidd
A vicious vigilante who believes that there is no hope left in the world. He becomes an unlikely ally of the Flash when he is presented with the possibility of bringing his son back to life.- The Alcoholic: Strongly hinted, with empty bottles littering the floor of his lair and he's seen drinking out of a flask. With the shitty life he had, no surprise he practises Drowning My Sorrows.
- Berserk Button: Early on in the movie, he doesn't take kindly to mention of his dead son (though by the film's climax, he no longer gets angry on hearing his name).
- The Cameo: Makes a small appearance in Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay as part of Eobard Thawne's flashback.
- Cool Old Guy: He’s in his 60s, and has no problem fighting and killing younger criminals.
- Darker and Edgier: Than his son, Bruce, in both the original and restored timeline. Thomas has no problem using firearms or killing, both of which Bruce is very much against, and he also employs more brutal torture tactics on those he interrogates.
- Genius Bruiser: His unarmed fighting style can be compared to a brawler. Cyborg also refers to him as the best tactician on the planet.
- Guns Akimbo: His fighting style tends to mix in Dual Wielding a pair of pistols.
- Heartbroken Badass: Commits horrendously violent acts of vigilantism and drinks to cope with his family's loss.
- Heroic Sacrifice: It's heavily implied that he realizes that by restoring the proper timeline, he'll die in that alley instead of Bruce. He shows no hesitation, considering his own life a fair price to pay for his son's.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He’s much more of a prick than his son, but also has his heart in the right place like him.
- Old Superhero: Would have to be at least in his 60s, or possibly even his 70s, by the time we meet him since in the main DCAMU timeline at least his son is assumed to be in his late thirties to early forties in War.
- Outliving One's Offspring: In this timeline, his son Bruce was killed.
- Papa Wolf: He will stop at nothing to help Barry restore the former timeline, as long as Bruce is alive in that history.
- Perma-Stubble: Thomas very much has not been shaving regularly, with his mouth and chin covered in a shade of dark grey.
- Stealth Hi/Bye: Apparently, like his son, Thomas also learned to pull this off. Flash later manages to use his Super-Speed to disappear in the middle of a conversation and Thomas comments on how he's now the one on the receiving end of that trick.
Cyborg
Victor Stone
Species: Cyborg
Voiced by: Michael B. Jordan
A man whose body has been cybernetically enhanced. He is considered to be Earth's greatest hero, and is trying to form a team to put an end to the war between Amazons and Atlanteans.- Alternate Universe Reed Richards Is Awesome: Due to Superman being locked away and the Justice League not existing in his timeline, Cyborg becomes the Big Good of the Flashpoint timeline while in the regular timeline he's nowhere near as important.
- Big Good: In this timeline, Kal-El was locked away in a government facility upon arriving on Metropolis. As a result, Superman never came to be, and Cyborg is revered as the world's greatest hero instead. By the start of the film, he is organizing a team to attempt to stop the Amazon-Atlantis war.
- Cyborg: As his name implies, Cyborg is a human whose body has been mostly replaced by mechanical apparatus. This version of the character is significantly bulkier and more heavily armed than his counterparts.
Captain Thunder/The SHAZAM Kids
Billy Batson, Mary Bromfield, Eugene Choi, Darla Dudley, Freddy Freeman and Pedro Peña
Species: Human
Voiced by: Steve Blum (Captain Thunder), Jennifer Hale (Billy Batson), Candi Milo (Pedro Pena)
A group of foster siblings who can transform into a superhero by shouting a magic word.- Death of a Child: Wonder Woman murders Billy Batson in order to prevent them from being able to transform into Captain Thunder again.
- Flying Brick: Captain Thunder's power set includes Super-Strength, Flight, and Nigh-Invulnerability.
- Fusion Dance: Captain Thunder is formed by six young children fusing together after chanting the word "SHAZAM!" as opposed to just Billy Batson like in the regular timeline. Unfortunately, killing one means the transformation is permanently broken.
- Ret-Gone: After Flash undoes the Flashpoint timeline only Billy, Freddy, and Darla are shown to still exist in War leaving the fates of Eugene and Pedro unknown.
Subject 1/Superman
Kal-El
Species: Kryptonian
Voiced by: Sam Daly
An alien from Krypton who has crash landed on Metropolis years ago. Having lived in a research facility for his entire life, he is physically debilitated and doesn't have much social skills.- Because You Were Nice to Me: He saves Cyborg during the Final Battle, thanks to the former having saved him from his imprisonment, torture, and experimentation by the US government.
- Body Horror: This incarnation of Superman spent his entire life deprived from yellow sun radiation. When we first see him, he is unsettlingly rachitic and can barely sustain himself on his own feet.
- Deus Exit Machina: Even in his decrepit state, he would probably be able to beat Aquaman and Wonder Woman at the same time. So he is practically not present in the final battle.
- Human Aliens: Like all other incarnations of Superman, he certainly looks human on the surface, which is why the other heroes like Cyborg and Batman wonder what makes him so special that Flash would actively seek him. They then find out why once he's exposed to the sun.
- No Social Skills: Thanks to having lived his entire life as a test subject in a laboratory, he can hardly speak or even interact with other people, which is part of why he flees from the heroes after they save him.
- Raised in a Lab: When the baby Kal-El crash-landed in Metropolis, he was then taken and raised in a lab. Being freed by Barry and the gang gave him the chance to see his first sunlight.
- World's Strongest Man: Proves to be this once he joins the final battle. His heat vision amputates Aquaman's arm in a single sweep, when the king of Atlantis had previously shown to be nearly impervious to the other heroes' attacks.
Sandman
Wesley Dodds
Species: Human
A hero who uses a gas gun to fight criminals.
- Age Lift: Possibly as unlike in the comics, there is no mention of him having been crime fighting in the 1930s, so he might be much younger.
- Ret-Gone: He doesn't appear in the main DCAMU timeline and there's no mention of the Justice Society, so he was either erased or never became Sandman in the main timeline.
Enchantress
June Moon
Species: Human
A magic using hero.
- Adaptational Heroism: In the original Flashpoint comics, she was a supervillain. In the film, she's part of her world's Justice League.
- Ret-Gone: Implied since she only appears in the Flashpoint timeline.
Citizen Cold
Leonard Snart
Species: Human
A superhero who operates in Central City.
- Adapted Out: His Dark Secret as a criminal and any mention of him being a controversial hero who kills isn't included.
- Alternate Universe Reed Richards Is Awesome: In the original timeline he's simply one of the Flash's villains, but in this timeline he's Central City's superhero instead of the Flash.
- Ret-Gone: Implied since he only appears in the origin and Flashpoint timelines.
Pied Piper
Hartley Rathaway
Species: Metahuman
A music themed hero.
- Adapted Out: There's no mention of Citizen Cold ripping out his vocal cords and killing his childhood friend Wally West, and in fact they both seem fine with working on the Justice League together.
- Ret-Gone: Implied since he only appears in the Flashpoint timeline.
- Team Member in the Adaptation: He's part of the Justice League in the Flashpoint timeline, which wasn't the case in the comics.
Shade
Rac Shade
Species: Metan
A hero from another dimension.
- Ret-Gone: Implied since he only appears in the Flashpoint timeline.
- Team Member in the Adaptation: He's part of the Justice League in the Flashpoint timeline, while in the comics he was part of the Secret Seven which was recruited by Cyborg.
The Resistance
Grifter
Cole Cash
Species: Human
Voiced by: Danny Jacobs
A member of the Resistance who specializes in firearms.- Adaptational Badass: Compared to the comics, where after being set up as the formidable leader of the Resistance who shows up in a Big Damn Heroes moment to aid the heroes against the Amazons, only to be anticlimactically offed by Enchantress who is revealed to be The Mole.
- Back-to-Back Badasses: Teams up with Batman in taking down Black Manta.
- Badass Longcoat: Wears one up until his fight with Black Manta, where it catches fire from one of Black Manta's optic blasts.
- Badass Normal: Has no apparent superpowers to speak ofnote , but his skills with firearms make him a formidable warrior on his own right.
- Dying Moment of Awesome: Manages to kill many Amazons, even as they pelt him with arrows. He eventually gets a fatal arrow but manages to gun down the shooter as he falls.
- Guns Akimbo: Opens fire on Black Manta using dual Desert Eagles, successfully drawing Black Manta away from Batman.
- The Gunslinger: Each and every one of his appearances has him using various firearms, of which he puts to good use.
- Sacrificial Lion: His death is the first to indicate just how badly the battle is going for the heroes, to the extent that major characters are no longer safe.
Etrigan the Demon
Etrigan
Species: Demon
Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker
A demon from Hell who assists the Resistance in the war against the Amazons. Speaks exclusively through rhymes.
- Rhymes on a Dime: Etrigan's only two lines of dialogue have him reciting poetry. Lois immediately tells him that his gimmick gets old really fast.
Canterbury Cricket
Jeramey Chriqui
Species: Metahuman
Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker
A bug like hero from England.
- Ret-Gone: Only appears in the Flashpoint timeline, as he wouldn't reappear in the main continuity of the comics until after Doomsday Clock.
Miss Hyde
Bobbie Stephenson
Species: Metahuman
A British superhero.
- Ret-Gone: Only appears in the Flashpoint timeline, as she wouldn't reappear in the main continuity of the comics until after Doomsday Clock.
- The Voiceless: Doesn't say anything when she appears.
Godiva
Dorcas Leigh
Species: Metahuman
A British superhero.
- The Voiceless: Doesn't say anything when she appears.
Other Heroes
Captain Atom
Nathaniel Adam
Species: Metahuman
Voiced by: Lex Lang
A hero that can manipulate radiation, making him basically a living nuclear bomb.- Adaptational Heroism: Flashpoint Nathanial Adam was a General Ripper who'd never become a superhero to begin with. Here, he's more like his regular comic version.
- Badass in Distress: Supposedly one of Earth's most powerful heroes, but at the start of the story he has been captured by Aquaman and converted into a living generator for his doomsday weapon.
- Composite Character: In the original Flashpoint comics, Nathaniel Adam never acquired superpowers. This version takes the role of Brion Markov in being used as Atlantis' superweapon.
- Pride: His defining flaw. He arrogantly believes that he will have no problem defeating Aquaman by himself, but is captured by the king of Atlantis instead.
- Ret-Gone: After the events of Flashpoint Paradox, we don't even see what became of him in the new timeline Flash created which suggest he either doesn't exist or never became a hero.
Elongated Kid
Elongated Kid
Species: Metahuman
A superhero was recently killed.
- Adaptational Name Change: The first thing that confuses Barry when he's told that the hero's been murdered, as he calls him Elongated Man before his boss corrects him.
- Age Lift: Is possibly younger than normal versions based on his name.
- The Ghost: Is only mentioned since he's been murdered.
- Ret-Gone: Like Captain Atom, he seems to only exist in the original and Flashpoint timelines.
Abin Sur
Abin Sur
Species: Ungaran
A member of the Green Lantern Corps who died after arriving on Earth, his corpse being kept by the U.S. government to study.
- Death by Adaptation: Abin Sur in the original comic storyline was shown to be still alive as a Green Lantern in the Flashpoint timeline, albeit undergoing a brief death during the final battle prior to the Life Entity reviving him as a White Lantern. In this animated film adaptation, he appears as a corpse when we first see him and stays that way.
- Demoted to Extra: As a consequence of being dead from the start in the animated film version, Abin Sur has a significantly smaller role than he did in the original comic event.
- Reused Character Design: He's clearly using the character model of his depiction in Green Lantern: Emerald Knights.
United States Government
Hal Jordan
Harold Jordan
Species: Human
Voiced by: Nathan Fillion
A superhero known as Green Lantern in the original timeline, the Hal Jordan of the Flashpoint universe never went through the events that would culminate in him inheriting that mantle. Instead, he is an ace pilot who is sent on a suicide mission to destroy Aquaman's doomsday weapon.- Heroic Suicide: His mission was to pull one of these off, destroying the Atlantean fleet using Abin Sur's ship at the cost of his own life. Aquaman unfortunately telepathically controls a sea monster to swallow the ship before it can make impact, turning Hal's kamikaze run into a Senseless Sacrifice instead.
Lois Lane
Lois Lane
Species: Human
Voiced by: Dana Delany
An American reporter sent to infiltrate the Amazons. After her true allegiance is revealed, she finds herself trapped in the United Kingdom and joins the local Resistance.- Badass Normal: As a member of the Resistance, Lois stands out due to the fact she is just a normal reporter in a team of mutants and trained warriors, yet she has managed to survive for months among the Amazons and lasts quite long in the final battle.
- Deadpan Snarker: Lois delivers many sarcastic lines in a monotone, even when facing imminent death. When she is cornered and about to be executed by the Amazons, her reaction is to say she hopes to become an anchor in the afterlife; and when Etrigan recites poetry to her, she replies that his gimmick will get old really fast.
- Intrepid Reporter: Even when pursued by bloodthirsty Amazons, Lois won't lose her cool and keeps reporting to her home country.
Steve Trevor
Steve Trevor
Species: Human
Voiced by: James Patrick Stuart
An American spy who was sent to New Themyscira to retrieve Lois Lane, but is quickly discovered and captured by the Amazons.- Cruel and Unusual Death: Wonder Woman binds him with her lasso by the neck, then slowly flies upwards to strangle him. We see him cough up blood and writhe in agony before he finally dies.
- Death by Irony: He is killed by Wonder Woman, his usual love interest in other universes/timelines. Not only that, but she also taunts him about his love for Lois before killing him.
Crew of the Ravager
Deathstroke
Slade Wilson
Species: Human
Voiced by: Ron Perlman
A mercenary who lends his team to Lex Luthor as they search for Aquaman's secret weapon.- Composite Character: This version combines being a pirate captain like his comic Flashpoint self with the more familiar costume and skill level that Deathstroke usually displays.
- Even Evil Has Standards: The level of casualties that Aquaman and Wonder Woman's war has claimed manages to disturb even a trained killer like him.
Lex Luthor
Alexander Luthor
Species: Human
Voiced by: Steve Blum
A businessman whose goal is to locate and destroy Atlantis' most powerful weapon. He hires a team of mercenaries to aid him in his quest.- Dies Differently in Adaptation: Flashpoint Lex died as a child thanks to Subject Zero setting Krypto on him. Here, he lasts to adulthood, but is executed by Aquaman during a failed mission to locate the monarch's secret doomsday device.
- "Facing the Bullets" One-Liner: His mission was to confirm Aquaman's location. When faced with Aquaman himself preparing to skewer him with a trident:Lex: Well, at least I know I was right.
Criminals
The Joker
Martha Wayne
Species: Human
Voiced by: Grey DeLisle
An insane serial killer and Batman's nemesis. In the Flashpoint timeline, on that fateful night in Crime Alley, the young Bruce Wayne was killed and his mother Martha suffered a psychotic breakdown leading to her becoming her timeline's Joker.- Demoted to Extra: She has much less prominence than she did in the original comic event, her only acknowledgment besides a mention being a flashback that shows her weeping over her son's corpse followed by breaking into psychotic laugher with a smile drawn in her son's blood over her lips.
- Distaff Counterpart: The Joker in the original and restored timeline is a man, while in the Flashpoint timeline, not only is the Joker a woman but she's also Bruce Wayne's mother reduced to insanity after her adolescent son's death.
- Driven to Madness: Her reaction to her adolescent son's death is to laugh madly and unknowingly smear his blood over her mouth in the shape of a smile.
- Outliving One's Offspring: In the Flashpoint timeline, when the Waynes' attacker fired his weapon, her son Bruce was the one killed instead, triggering her descent into madness.
- Spared by the Adaptation: Somewhat. In the Flashpoint comic event, Thomas and Martha met for one final time for him to explain to her that their son survives in another timeline. When Thomas informs her that Bruce becomes Batman in that timeline, Martha reacts with horror and throws herself to her death. Here that scene never takes place, Martha doesn't even appear beyond a flashback, and thus we don't get to see her die. Onscreen, anyway.
Yo-Yo
Yo-Yo
Species: Human
Voiced by: Hynden Walch
The Joker's loyal servant, who fights with weaponized yo-yos.- Action Girl: She's introduced fighting Batman and comes very close to strangling him to death.
- Alternate Self: Heavily implied to be an alternate version of Harley Quinn, since they share the same voice actress.
- Meaningful Name: Yo-yo fights with a pair of yo-yos that she uses as long-range battering weapons.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: While fighting Batman, Yo-yo is shown to be sadistic, smiling as she strangles the hero and later taunting him about his previous failed attempts to stop the Joker. Once Cyborg has caught her, she puts on a sheepish façade and hugs him before surrendering.
Joe Chill
Joe Chill
Species: Human
A common criminal from Gotham City, whose actions lead to Batman's creation.
- Death by Adaptation: He gets away after shooting the Waynes in the prime timeline. Here, Thomas was so enraged by his only son's shooting he beat the mugger to death. With his bare hands.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Not only did his Flashpoint iteration create the Batman, he was responsible for the existence of the Joker.
- Would Hurt a Child: This version of Joe Chill shot Bruce instead of either of his parents. Granted, it's not clear if it was intentional, but he doesn't live much longer to regret it if it wasn't.
Civilians
Nora Allen
Nora Allen
Species: Human
Voiced by: Grey DeLisle
Barry Allen's mother, who was murdered in her own home during a flashback.- Death by Origin Story: Subverted in the Flashpoint timeline which prevented Barry becoming the Flash, and to restore the timeline he has to let her death occur.
- Deceased Parents Are the Best: Nora is dead in the prime timeline, and what we get to see from her interactions with Barry indicate she was a wonderful person.
- Died on Their Birthday: She's killed on her birthday by an unknown assailant when her son, Barry (The Flash), was only a child. Her death and Barry's regret about not being able to save her leads him to go back in time and create the Flashpoint timeline, which almost destroys the world.
Iris West
Iris West
Voiced by: Jennifer Hale
A reporter from Central City and the Flash's fiancée.- The Ghost: Iris is frequently mentioned in later films, but never makes an appearance. Barry reveals he got engaged to her in Death of Superman, jokes that she is going to kill him if he doesn't come home in time for dinner in Reign of the Supermen, and mourns her death in Apokolips War.
- Happily Married: Much to Barry's anguish, Iris married another man and had a daughter with said man in this timeline.
Atlantis
Emperor Aquaman
Arthur
Species: Atlantean-Huamn Hybrid
Voiced by: Cary Elwes
The king of Atlantis. Unlike his heroic version from the main timeline, this incarnation is a tyrant bent on destroying all non-aquatic lifeforms.- Adaptational Villainy: Aquaman was manipulated into war in the original Flashpoint storyline. This version goes into war of his own choosing and one of the primary causes for it was his own infidelity.
- Berserk Button: Aquaman delivers a violent punch to his brother Orm simply because the latter mentioned his dead wife's name.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Has one single moment of clarity regarding the sheer amount of death his war has caused, and then Wonder Woman stabs him through the chest. At which point he activates his doomsday weapon.
- Taking You with Me: Rather than let Wonder Woman taste victory, he activates his doomsday weapon, effectively dooming the entire planet rather than allowing his hated former-lover to win.
Mera
Mera
Species: Atlantean
Aquaman's former wife, whose death marked the beginning of Atlantis' war against the surface world.
- Composite Character: In the original comics, the war started after the murder of Hippolyta. Mera's death at the hands of Wonder Woman replaces this, as while it still happened in the comics the context was different.
- Off with His Head!: Wonder Woman beheads her at the end of their battle and takes her crown.
Ocean Master
Orm
Voiced By: James Patrick Stuart
Aquaman's half-brother and prince of Atlantis.
- Cain and Abel: Averted for once. This version loyally serves his brother. Might have something to do with this version of Aquaman lining up with the traditional Orm's views of 'surface-dwellers'.
- Warrior Prince: Fights on the frontlines, with his brother.
Aqualad
Kaldur'ahm
Species: Atlantean
A high-ranking member of the Alantean army, constantly seen cheering for his king during group scenes.
- Adaptational Villainy: Although he never appears in the original Flashpoint comic, all prior versions of Aqualad were heroes. In the movie, he is one of Aquaman's top warriors and assists him in the war against the surface.
- Canon Immigrant: Never appeared in the original Flashpoint storyline. This version is explicitly based on his Young Justice self.
- Making a Splash: His fighting style involves creating weapons out of sea water, including swords and whips.
Tempest
Garth
Species: Atlantean
One of Aquaman's sidekicks.
- Alternate Self: He has counterparts in the realities of Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go!.
- Making a Splash: He fights by manipulating water, firing high-pressure blasts that can pierce even through metal.
- Spared by the Adaptation: Garth was one of the first casualties of Orm and Penthisilea's manipulations in the comics. Here, he's still alive.
Aquagirl
Tula
Species: Atlantean
An acrobatic Atlantean who assists Aquaman in his war against the surface.
- Action Girl: During the raid on the Ravager, Tula can be seen systematically dismantling Deathstroke's crew, nimbly moving from opponent to opponent and snapping their necks.
- Adaptational Villainy: Although she never appears in the original Flashpoint comic, all prior versions of Tula were heroes. In the film, she is part of Aquaman's forces and very willing to use lethal force against her enemies.
- Canon Immigrant: Never appeared in the original Flashpoint storyline. This version is explicitly based on her Young Justice self.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Dies from being shot with arrows by Amazons.
- She-Fu: Is an extremely agile fighter who uses her acrobatic feats to her advantage.
Black Manta
David Hyde
Species: Human
A surface man donning a robotic suit that vaguely resembles a manta ray. He serves Aquaman in his war against the Amazons and the surface world.
- The Dragon: Battles alongside the Atlanteans as a member of Aquaman's forces.
- Eye Beams: His weapon of choice are laser beams that he fires from his visor.
- The Quisling: He's a surface world human with Aquaman's inner circle but serves against his own people.
Themyscira
Wonder Woman
Queen Diana of Themyscira
Species: Amazon
Voiced by: Vanessa Marshall
The queen of the Amazons. Unlike her main universe counterpart, this version of Diana is a misandristic tyrant who wishes to conquer the world and rid it of the "pestilence" known as men.- Adaptational Backstory Change: In the comics the war started after her mother was killed, but in this version Diana was already queen before the war meaning something else happened to Hippolyta.
- Adaptation Personality Change: Flashpoint Diana knew full well about Arthur and Mera before their arranged marriage, and didn't mind. Not so much here.
- Adaptational Villainy: In the comics, Flashpoint Wonder Woman was manipulated into war, was horrified by the millions that had died because of it and made efforts to stop the conflict once she realised this. This version is going into war of her own choosing, and never makes any effort to downplay or stop the conflict. She also kills Billy Batson.
- Battle Trophy: Diana wears Mera's crown over her own tiara as a symbol of her victory over her would-be assassin.
- Composite Character: In Flashpoint, Billy's killer was a generic Amazon, not Diana herself.
- Dark Action Girl: Being an evil version of Wonder Woman, she definitely qualifies.
- Green-Eyed Monster: Implied. This version had legitimate romantic interest in Aquaman and slept with him despite the former being married. When his wife, Mera, confronts her about it, Diana is sharpening her sword, suggesting she was prepared to dispose of her "rival".
- If I Can't Have You…: She seems to legitimately have been in love with Aquaman, and the war is a partial result of Aquaman rejecting her after she killed Mera.
- Together in Death: Sort of. After mortally wounding Aquaman, the latter activates his doomsday weapon, causing The End of the World as We Know It. Wonder Woman spends her last moments mournfully cradling his body before the wave of atomic energy consumes her.
- Would Hurt a Child: After separating the SHAZAM Kids, she picks up Billy Batson by the neck and guts him with her sword to ensure they can't transform again.
