A fan favorite universe is making a return in DC’s anticipated Flashpoint Beyond, which will return Thomas Wayne’s Flashpoint Batman to the spotlight as he makes his way towards a showdown against Aquaman. In the Flashpoint universe, which was initially wiped out of existence by the New 52 but returned to existence with recent multiversal events, Bruce Wayne was shot and killed, leading to his father Thomas Wayne becoming Batman. While we’ve got a little bit of a wait until the first issue hits, we’ve got your exclusive first look at some of the stunning covers from issues #2, #3, and #4, and you can check those new covers out starting on the next slide.
The new covers give us a look at Thomas Wayne and the Psycho-Pirate as well as Project Superman, as in this world the Kryptonian has been imprisoned since landing on Earth. We also see another group of heroes including Cyborg, Flash, and Shazan, and then we see Poison Ivy, Grifter, and Etrigan in other covers.
