What did Flash do to cause the second Flashpoint event? (End of DCAMU)
Was rewatching the DCAMU movies for nostalgia and wanting to refresh my understanding of the DCAMU before starting the Tomorrowverse movies. I finally got to the emotional ending of JL Dark: Apokolips War where Flash runs off into the distance to reset the timeline and prevent the Apokolips War from ever happening in the first place.
That’s all well and good. But what specifically did he change to cause changes to the timeline this time? Because in the Flashpoint Paradox, the first alternate timeline is created when Flash saves his mother. Then he (mostly) restores the timeline by going back in time and stopping his past self from saving his mother.
But for this reset at the end of Apokolips War, what exactly does he have to do? Stop himself from stopping himself from saving his mother? Lol, just kidding. Sorry if this was explained in the comics or if it was already answered elsewhere, but I couldn’t find any sources online.
