Flashpoint is one of my favourite DC comics, and this follow up is genuinely so much better than I thought it was going to be. There is a clear mirror with the first flashpoint storyline, with main timeline Bruce trying to save his father's timeline at great risk to his own, whilst his father fights to save his sons timeline (which he thinks doesn't exist anymore because his one still does when it shouldn't...make sense?), yet come to accept that this one is worth saving too. I'm a huge fan of this alternate timeline with a more brutal batman, a female joker and now even a Robin that completes its ode to Dark Knight Returns. Connecting with The Button and Doomsday clock (and by extention, Watchmen) this adds really nicely to the flashpint story without overcomplicating things with too many characters.
