Could Flashpoint set things right as far as the DCEU Shared Universe?

Could Flashpoint set the DCEU right as far as the shared universe timeline? I definitely would have to say that it would and it definitely could as far as time travel

I get the feeling they're going to make any changes they want and just go with it, with little or no explanation. We had a white Jim Gordon in JL, now we're getting a black Jim Gordon. We had an older, jaded Batman in BvS, SS, and JL, now we're getting a younger Batman. Okay, there's been speculation that The Batman isn't connected to those other DCEU movies, or that's it's the same Batman but earlier in his career (still doesn't answer the Jim Gordon question). That's fine. Except that (if rumours are true) they're also looking at Pattinson's Batman meeting Gadot's Wonder Woman and Momoa's Aquaman at some point - despite Affleck's older Batman having already met them for the first time and fought alongside them.

I'd be interested to see any explanations they come up with for substantial changes, but honestly I'm not sure we'll get any. Just thinking back to when Eartha Kitt took over as Catwoman in the third season of Batman '66 and how it confused the hell out of me as a child! Hopefully I'm better equipped to deal this time!

Either way it could set things right as far as a shared universe connecting everything

It could do, and supposedly the Flash solo movie was going to be Flashpoint. I think they've moved away from it though.

I'm a big fan of the original FP story and the Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox animated movie (I actually prefer that version), and I'd love to see it done in live-action on the big screen one day.

As far as villains go...the ultimate villain would be Reverse Flash

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

Absolutely! You couldn't do Flashpoint without him!

And with Flashpoint it should definitely include other rogues too

The thing with Flashpoint is there are so many tie-in stories, some of which are really good. Does a movie limit itself to the core story? I can see why they would do that, but they'd be missing out on some great stuff. Batman Knight of Vengeance, which focuses on Thomas Wayne's Batman (Bruce having been killed as a child in Crime Alley) and how his story intertwines with that of his world's Joker, is absolutely fantastic. In fact that story would make a pretty good movie in its own right.
