It depends. You can be given the power of the gods and not become one or a demigod. If the powers you're granted specifically turn you into a demigod, then yes.

1: Hush

2: Batman vs. Robin

3: Bad Blood

4: Son of Batman

I initially disliked him, but he grew on me as he matured.

An argument I hear a lot is, why change a character and not simply make a new character? To simply change a beloved character to something different for whatever reason just feels lazy, and it's also very obviously just using the original character's popularity to try to promote the diversity idea, and that becomes apparent and affects the character because it's usually obvious that this is what;'s being done. It feels almost disrespectful to change a character too much from incarnation to incarnation, because it no longer becomes the character; it's a different character in the originals body. It also gives the impression that the character wasn't "good enough" and needs to have these changes made to it, which seems insulting, like the character is now only good if they're THIS way. If you want a have a homosexual (or whatever) hero/villain, then fine, I think there should be more LGBT representation, but make up a new original character that fits the bill, don't change a beloved original one just to push an agenda.

Former Trooper is right. Superman's strength has varied from version to version. Sometimes his strength is limited, sometimes it's unlimited. Basically, he's as strong as he needs to be for whatever situation he's in.

My guess is some fragment of Raven's mind. What she was afraid of was manifesting, so it came from some part of her subconscious. She must have had some "idea" of where they were dragged off to, even if she didn't exactly know, and so they were trapped in whatever realm her mind created.

Because Luthor was basically fighting by himself with limited resources and manpower. Also, you're forgetting that both the JL and the SS had all their strongest members either killed or converted, so of course things aren't going to go as smoothly. I was talking about about a full team going in fully armed and knowing what they'll be fighting and how they would be fighting it. Again, you won't see some flawless plan that's a guaranteed victory, but you will see a far better outcome, which is what Constantine was going for. And crippling Apokolips showed just how affective the JL's attack was despite walking straight into a trap, so imagine how they'll do when prepared. As for the paradooms defeating SS despite the Kryptonite weapons, again, you're forgetting how low on resources and members they were, and the plan they had was basically a desperate Hail Mary attempt to squeeze out a victory. With a full JL and SS team with Kryptonite weapons, there's going to be a very different outcome, especially with a proper plan and time to prepare. Hell, Superman himself was kicking Darkseid's @$$ pretty well before Trigon stepped in. Ooh, you know what would be interesting, if Constantine and Raven unleashed Trigon and he possessed Darkseid. They could then beat the Trigon-possessed-Darkseid while the two of them are fighting for control, allowing the JL to get rid of them and Apokolips in a similar way as to how they did the first time.

Also, if you want to see a different result for Batman: Hush, remember Crisis On Two Earths, there are an in finite number of alternate realities, and so the outcome your hoping to have seen will, statistically, have happened in one of those realities. We're just not going to see it in this one because the continuity is finished. As for Batman getting with Catwoman and Helena being born, I would love to see that myself (was hoping to actually). But who's to say it won't happen? Catwoman ended things with Batman for the time being because she knew he wasn't ready to let Batman go enough, but she said "Maybe someday", and Batman said the same after she left. So there's a chance they'll get together later. Who knows, after they defeat Darkseid for good, Batman will relax a bit, especially if Damian takes over some more. And here's a thought I liked to entertain, maybe when Selena left at the end of Hush, she was pregnant. The two did go at it quite a bit, so who's to say Helena hadn't been conceived during that time. And perhaps when she eventually introduces Helena to her father, she and Bruce will get and stay together since Bruce will need to be a father to her, so he'll be Batman less. His other children were taken in when they were old enough to take care of themselves. Makes you wonder how Damian would feel about being a big brother (I actually read a really interesting fanfiction that followed this kind of plot if you're interested). So don't think of Hush as Batman not getting the girl and Helena not appearing, but as the seeds that would lead to both in the future.

He's going to invade Earth at some point. That's a given. His goal is to conquer the universe, particularly in seeking out the Anti-Life Equation. I mentioned in a previous post that Flashpoint Paradox actually comes prior to Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay, as evident by Zoom stating that he was only able to use the Speed Force to delay his death by a few days. Flashpoint Paradox also couldn't have occurred pre-JL: War because the JL was already a fully established team with a base and everything, but hadn't even met yet in JL: War. The first tine Darkseid appeared, it was because he sent his parademons and had them slowly spread Mother Boxes across the planet for his initial arrival (going as far back as to when Steve Trevor first met Wonder Woman), and that's how he eventually arrived in JL: War. Later, he was tried using the Supermen to create another portal for him to come through, but that failed. It was the power surge from Flash's Flashpoint that provided Darkseid with the power source he needed to come through again at the beginning of Apokolips War. Constantine said this himself, that if Flash hadn't created the Flashpoint when he went to save his mother, Darkseid wouldn't have been able to come. If Flash goes back to prevent his first Flashpoint from occurring, it will still create another Flashpoint, and it will be THAT Flashpoint that Darkseid would have used to come. So no matter what, Darkseid is going to come, because Flash will be creating a Flashpoint to stop a Flashpoint. This is what convinces Flash to make another one at the end of the movie despite his vow, because he feels responsible for having brought Darkseid (that's the thing they cannot change, which the message at the beginning of the movie is talking about, so they have to have the wisdom that they can't change that and have the courage to face what they can change, which is the conclusion of the war). But even if he didn't, Darkseid still would have made his way to Earth eventually in his mission for universal conquest. So since they can't stop Darkseid from coming, finding the best and most affective way to defeat him is the key since his coming is inevitable. Worse still, leaving him be will only allow him to conquer even more of the universe, increasing his power and his forces, which will only make him harder to beat when he eventually does come to Earth. The JL's best chance is to fight him where they have the best advantage, and that would be when they know what they're in for and what they'll be up against, and can even use his spying against them. Otherwise they'll just be going in blind and on a prayer.

Also, I would like to point out one last thing before I finish up with this conversation that I keep getting sucked back into. In the movie, despite the JL walking into Darkseid's trap, with him knowing exactly what their plan was, and with them having no idea about the paradooms, the JL had STILL managed to cripple Apokolpis and its forces to render it powerless, which was why Darkseid began draining Earth's core to replenish it's power. Superman also stated that they had managed to gain small victories over Darkseid during the 2 years despite their lack of forces. And Luthor also, all by himself, managed to create special weapons specifically designed to take down paradooms (and even Superman), and he managed to do this by himself, while keeping it a secret and pretending to work for Darkseid. Now, if they can do all that, despite losing pretty much every member of the JL with their very limited resources after Darkseid had taken over the planet, imagine what they could do with a full team, this time without walking into a trap, while having knowledge of what they'll be facing and time to prepare, and even able to use Darkseid's spying against him. Luthor on his own with hardly any resources pretty much solves the paradoom problem, so imagine what they could do with Batman's help, money, and resources, and Superman's and everyone else's. And if they could do that kind of damage to Apokolips after having walked into a trap with no idea that the paradooms were even waiting for them, imagine what they could do with the proper knowledge and time to prepare. They could then find a way to deal with Trigon afterwards.

*Sigh*, I feel like we're just going in circles and having the same conversation over and over again. You're asking me to provide you with some completely flawless, 100% fail proof, definite way the JL will absolutely be able to defeat Darkseid. The fact of the matter is, no matter how far back Flash goes, there isn't one. There's always a chance they will lose. Maybe they'll come up with some spectacular strategy and be able to defeat Darkseid for good without suffering any major loses. Maybe they'll ruin his invasion plans, but end up fighting him in battle after battle for years to come. Maybe they'll force Darkseid to retreat and he'll stay come for years and years. Maybe they'll defeat Darkseid but things will end up being off even worse than how they ended in Apokolips War, only Flash won't survive this time to give them another redo. No matter how time is rewritten from this new Flashpoint, there's always a chance of failure, and since the movie ended before we saw what those changes were, we'll never know how things went down in the rematch. But they will have a much better chance the second time around because they'll know what Darkseid has planned and what he'll have in his arsenal, so they'll be able to plan for it and even use his spying against him and strike before he's ready for them. I'm not a movie/comic book writer, so I can't give you the story of how the redo would go down (go read some fanfiction I guess), but there's hope for a much better future other than the outcome that happened the first time around because of the advantages they'll now have. But I'm tired of just repeating myself with the same basic points again and again, so I'm dropping this conversation.

Whether they go back to pre-JL: War or not, they would STILL need to defeat Darkseid and his forces in it's entirety, so your point is completely moot. But that's part of the ongoing struggle with Darkseid throughout the entire comics anyway. How did they manage to beat him in the comics over the years. And let's not forget that they HAD a plan to defeat Darkseid in this movie, it just failed since Darkseid knew they were coming and how they would attack, so he set a trap for them. And you ask how the JL is supposed to pull of this miracle. Well, they DID. They defeated Darkseid in this movie, and that was after losing masses amount of their allies while Darkseid continued to increase his forces and grow in power over the two years the movie takes place. They just have to beat him again now because they decided that the losses were too great, but now they'll have a chance for a better outcome. Perhaps Batman can even construct some type of device based on Cyborg's technology to banish Darkseid and all of Apokolips the way they did in this movie. Technically though, this Darkseid is just an avatar of the real one because the real true Darkseid is sleeping in his own realm.

I would also like to point out that the JL has defeated Darkseid time and again throughout the comics, the numerous different cartoon series, and different animated movies. There was even this one movie, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, where Batman DID find a way to defeat Darkseid, and would have destroyed all of Apokolipis 10 times over, but he didn't and instead forced Darkseid to submit and promise to free Supergirl and leave the Earth alone. And this was his own plan that he came up with on the fly. And these were all times where they didn't know if/when/how Darkseid was going to attack. With weeks, possibly months of prep time, Batman can find a way to take out Darkseid and his forces. remember this is the man who on his own came up with a contingency plan to take out each and every member of the entire JL. With knowledge of what's to come in the war with Darkseid, plus with the rest of the JL's help, they'll be able to find a way to defeat Darkseid. And as for the Lantern Corp, perhaps finding out what Darkseid is planning in his attempts at universal takeover will change their minds. And another thing, who ever said anything about beating Darkseid indefinitely? The second chance for a better outcome Flash is creating was meant to give them a chance to defeat Darkseid in this battle. Maybe they wouldn't defeat him for good and just force him to retreat and rebuild his forces again for several years like they have in numerous other media.

But let's say for the sake of argument that Flash does go to pre-JL: War. Guess, what, Darkseid is still coming. There's no stopping that. So why go back to the beginning and just have to fight him all over again while undoing all the other victories they've achieved, both large scale and small, and be left completely in the dark of what's coming and when, especially when they can preserve those victories, know what's coming in the upcoming fight, and act accordingly? And again, this goes with what Flash's mother told him in Flashpoint Paradox and the message at the beginning of the movie about changing what you can, know what you can't change and being able to face it. Darkseid is coming and he has Superman's DNA. That, they can't change, and they will have to face it when the time comes. The first time around, things didn't end so well for them. They can change that, but they need to have the courage to face what they know will be comingThey have the opportunity to defeat Darkseid with a much better outcome, and so they're taking it, even if it means having to face him again. And you know, technically, if you think about the way Flashpoints work based on Flashpoint Paradox, they don't actually need to face Darkseid again. The timeline will simply change based on the affects of what Flash changed in the past; we just didn't get to see what those changes were because the movie ended. But as I said, since they'll know what's coming and how to fight it, their chances will be so much better and even in their favor, and the future will change based on how different the battle turned out. And as Constantine said, based on what happened because of what Flash changed, maybe some of those changes will be bad, but it will be better than where they were at at the end of the movie.

They've faced down far worse than paradooms and come out on top, especially if you consider what they've faced in the comics. They failed the first time they invaded Apokolips because they were reckless and didn't know what to except, were completely unprepared, and walked right into a trap because Darkseid was of what they were planning because he was spying on their meeting. With knowledge of what they'll be facing, they'll be able to prepare for what's coming especially if they'll have time to preparation, not to mention they'll have resources from different members of the JL.

I'm more than sure that Batman will find a way to stop paradooms, or that Superman will have some hidden knowledge at the Fortress of Solitude. Heck, for all we know, maybe they can create a kryptonite nuclear bomb that they can send to wipe out the paradooms, and again, that's even considering that Darkseid will even have his paradoom army ready in time for their attack if they attack earlier. Your whole entire argument is basically, "Darkseid got Superman's DNA, that's it, game over, there's absolutely 100% no chance they could ever possible win unless they prevent that", but there are literally a million and one ways they absolutely can defeat him despite having Superman's DNA. You are literally suggesting that they starts completely over, have no idea of what's coming or how to fight it, face down numerous threats that almost defeated them again and again, take the chance that the JL never forms at all or that some of them never even gain their powers, all for the chance to MAYBE be able to prevent Darkseid from getting Superman's DNA, if that's even a possibility. Do you realize how ridiculous, crazy, and idiotic that sounds? Especially when they can instead use the situation to their advantage instead. Starting over would also leave them completely in the dark of what threats would be coming or if they'll be able to defeat them at all. Haven't you ever heard the expression "Better the devil that you know".

I don't know if you simply hate the New 52 movies and just want them gone, but what you're suggesting not only doesn't make sense and would be incredibly foolish, but no one would be dumb enough to do something like that, let alone the genius members of the JL when there's a much better solution. Honestly, I don't know why I'm still having this conversation, because at this point I'm just repeating myself over and over again while you cling to the same argument that I've proceeded to point out again and again is foolish and doesn't make, has multiple other better solutions, and has had hints and implications throughout not just this movie, but previous ones too, that they did what I said. Quite frankly, I'm tired of repeating myself. So if you want to live in your world where no one in the JL uses logic when there's a better, simpler, and far less dangerous and risky solution to a problem that has multiple alternative scenarios that will allow them to defeat Darkseid and not have to face down the same villains all over again, then be my guest.

Flash CAN remain in time periods longer. He saved his mother from getting murdered the first time around after all. And when he stopped his past self from saving his mother, it's even stated that he merged with his past self so he would know not to save his mother or else all those changes would occur. His past self would have to know all this, otherwise he would go back and save his mother.

So post-Apokolips War Flash would go back in time, and either (A) be able to provide his past self with knowledge of what's the come in the war with Darkseid so they won't go walking into a trap, the same way he did with his past self to stop her from saving his mother since as both Flashpoint Paradox and Apokolips War demonstrated that Flash does retain memories of his other selves from alternate timelines (Zoom revealed that he did too in both Flashpoint Paradox and Hell To Pay). Or (B) he will merge with his past self the way he did in Flashpoint Paradox, in which he will have all his memories from the future during that time. The way it works is a little sketchy, but either way, Flash would have knowledge of what's to come and be able to provide the JL with what they need to know in order to defeat Darkseid. That was the whole point in going back in time, to stop Darkseid from achieving victory. That was the whole point in giving us that scene where Flash mentioned that he still had memories of Flashpoint Paradox. If he wasn't able to inform his past self and past JL of what's coming, then the same thing will happen all over again.

This is a little confusing, but I'll try and explain it, starting with Flashpoint Paradox. Present day Flash went back in time and stopped his mother from being murdered. Now, it is a little murky of how things happened after this, but we know is that Flash went back and time and saved her. After that, he was suddenly in the present again, but the entire timeline had changed. He, however, still had all his memories from the original timeline. Slowly though, the memories from the new timeline began to replace it. When he realized that the world was doomed because of its changes, he went back in time to the point where his past self was going back in time to save his mother. In order to stop his past self from saving his mother, he merged with his past self and did not save his mother. He then returned to the present, retaining the memories of the original timeline and the alternative timeline (he also still had the note Bruce' father gave him despite that timeline being erased). The past had not been changed because his past self now had the knowledge of what would happen if he did save his mother (knowledge that present day Flash still retained). If his past self didn't have the knowledge of his future self, then he would have just saved his mother and nothing would have been fixed, but now that he knew what would happen, he left the past as is, but he still had the memories from the alternate timeline and the future. This is confirmed by him in Apokolips War, (and by Zoom in Hell to Pay) that he was still having visions from Flashpoint Paradox.

Now let's go to Apokolips War. We're going to make up the presumed scenario/outcome. Present day Flash goes back in time to before they walk into Darkseid's trap and merges with his past self, but as has been established, present day Flash can't stay in the past, but his past self would then have the knowledge of what's to come, and the JL can act accordingly. Present day Flash would then return to the present, still remembering the original timeline. But because his past self now had knowledge of what's to come, the JL won't blindly walk into Darkseid's trap and will defeat him. So Flash will find himself in a new future where the JL won without as much loss (unless he died during the war, which would suck for him), and his memories of what happened in Apokolips War will begin to be replaced with the new memories of the past 2 years since Darkseid's defeat, but he'll still retain some of the memories/visions of the original timeline where Darkseid had taken over and nearly destroyed the world.

It's really very simple when you think about it. We're talking about Flash going back in time and telling the JL this and that is going to happen and we need to do this and that to stop it and defeat Darkseid vs. Flash going back much further in time and maybe doing something that will prevent one thing that won't fall into affect until many years later, and will leave them completely in the dark of what else is to come and no clue as to how things will turn out and could very well end in failure. The choice is not only obvious, it's been hinted at throughout the entire movie, and been building up all throughout several movies. This is why Apokolips War ends on a bittersweet note, because now we know the JL has a much better, even likely chance to defeat Darkseid, but we don't know how it will turn out for them.

This is what happened in Flashpoint Paradox. After he went back in time to prevent his mother's death, he returned to the future to find that everything had changed. Slowly, his memories from the original timeline began to fade as the ones from the new timeline he had created from saving his mother began to replace them, but he still retained those memories was able to tell Batman (Bruce's father in the new timeline) about those memories. At the end of the movie, he went back in time to stop himself from saving his mother in order to correct the timeline and return things to normal, but he still retained some of those memories from the changed timeline even after fixing it, as he said at the beginning of Apokolips War. All he's got to do is go back in time to before the JL went to attack Apokolips, warn them of what's to come while providing them with 2 years worth of valuable information on Darkseid. And again, he may go back a little further, like maybe a few months to before Apokolips War to give them even more time to prepare. They come up with plan now that they know what's coming, and even use Darkseid's spying against him, and find a way to successfully bring the fight to Darkseid, possibly before his paradoom army is even ready. It makes far more sense to pointlessly go all the way back to the beginning and put the planet at risk a dozen times over just to maybe prevent Darkseid from getting Superman's DNA when they can easily make a plan to fight against him even if he does have it. After telling them everything they needed to know in order to beat Darkseid, Flash would then return to two years in the future (just as he did after saving his mother Flashpoint Paradox) to find that they managed to defeat Darkseid and find a much brighter future than the one he had left. But since he would have rewritten 2 years of history (since that's the course of time Apokolips War takes place over), there would be a lot of changes, which, as Constatine put it, some may be bad (like maybe some of them that survived will die the second time around), but they would be better off than where they were at.

Another thing to consider that I recently thought about. Supposedly, Flashpoint Paradox took place before JL: War, but that may not necessarily be the case. We saw in the post credit scene that a portal opened and parademons emerged, which we assumed led into JL: War, but that may actually have been the Boom that the JL were talking about at the beginning of Apokolips War. This occurred to me after I rewatched Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay. In it, Zoom was revealed to have survived being shot in the head by Batman in the altered timeline from Flashpoint Paradox by pulling the Speed Force into himself to slow down his time so he wouldn't die right away. He was still dying (hence why he was trying to get the Get Out Of Hell card), but he himself said that doing this would only allow him to stay alive for a few days, maybe a few weeks. If he's only able to hold off his death for a few days to a few weeks, then that means that Flashpoint Paradox must have happened just before Hell To Pay, despite the movie being made first, which would place it not too long before Apokolips War, which takes place several years after JL: War since Son of Batman takes place after it and Damian is a child in it but is in his late teens in Apokolips War. This is further supported since the JL are already an established team in Flashpoint Paradox, but hadn't even met in JL: War. If that's the case, Flash might have gone back to that Flashpoint in order to avoid causing too many changes since he knows first hand how dangerous and risky that would be since he didn't even want to do it at the end of Apokolips War.

Yes, but that Superman origin movie takes place in another reality. It's been established several times over that there's a multiverse with several realities, and we've seen the different origins of different characters take place in these different universes. That's why this movie continuity is done, because we're done with this universe, leaving the outcome for the final battle with Darkseid ambiguous but hopeful since the JL will now know what's coming and be able to prepare for it.

And in regards to Flash, his comment that he made at the beginning of the movie of how some of them doubted his visions of the flashpoint will now have legitimacy, so they'll know to take him seriously and act accordingly. Flash also knows first hand how changing the smallest thing can have catastrophic rippling affects after what happened in Flashpoint Paradox, and the farther back you go, the bigger and possibly worse changes they will be. Going back two years to the beginning of the movie is going to, as he said, change everything. But as Constantine pointed out, while some of those changes may be "sh*te", they'll be better than where they are now.

Even the writing at the beginning of the movie supports all this. "Accept the things you cannot change, have the courage to change the things you can, and have the wisdom to know the difference." They defeated Darkseid, but at a terrible cost. But they can change that, if they have the courage to do it over again despite the hardships they're going to face. They know Darkseid has Superman's DNA. They know he'll have an army of paradooms they'll have to fight. They know there's a chance that many of them will die. However, they need to find the courage to face that challenge. Some things, however, they can't/won't change, such as going back too far to prevent Darkseid from obtaining Superman's DNA, because it would out everything at risk, not just because of all the changes that would occur, but because of the danger this would bring. So they will need to have the wisdom to accept the difference between what they can't change and what they need to change. They're not going to do something stupid like giving up an incredible advantage of knowing what Darkseid has planned (no matter how terrifying it will be for them to face), and give him 3 chances to successfully invade the planet (since he made 3 attempts throughout the series, 4 if you include Doomsday). not to mention giving all the other villains their second chance at success. No, they need to know what they can't change, and have the courage to face what they can change. This is what leaves the series on bittersweet but hopeful note since even though this will give them a chance to save the world and have a better outcome, it will require them to face Darkseid all over again after just having brought a two year long war to an end.

Not willing to agree to disagree, huh? Ok then. But even Darkseid did have Superman's DNA, it would still be a thousand times riskier to go back to pre-JL: War just to prevent him from getting it. Their odds would be a lot better to simply find a way to defeat the paradooms now that they would know what they would be up against. I'm more than sure that Batman could find a way. He's freakin' Batman, they guy who came up with a contingency plan to take out every single member of the JL in case they ever went bad. I'm sure he could come up with a way to held take down paradooms, especially with months, if not years of preparation, and with the help of Luthor, who's life practically revolved around taking down Superman, not to mention Superman himself (with all his knowledge at the Fortress of Solitude), and all the other brilliant member of the JL. And again I say, with all the knowledge of what's to come in the future, they would pretty much be holding all the cards, and would even be able to use Darkseid spying against him to feed him false information and even set a trap rather than the hastily (if well planned out) invasion plan they had initially came up with the first time around.

For another superhero scenario comparison, let's look at Avengers: Endgame (despite this being a DC website, I'm going to assume everyone saw Endgame). What if, for sake of argument, after having gone back in time and gathering up the Infinity Stones then returning to the future, they found that they couldn't use the stones to resurrect everyone Thanos had snapped away. They then decide that the only way to fix things would be to start over and prevent/stop Thanos from snapping away half the universe.

Now, what would be the smart/logical thing to do. Should Captain America (I'm just using him for sake of argument) go back in time to before Thanos came to Earth, where he would still have one or two Infinity Stones, which would make him a powerful opponent, and warn everyone of what's to come so they can make plans to fight against Thanos now that they knew what would be coming and how he would be attacking, and stop him before he's able to make his move and use their knowledge of what's to come in order to stop him? Or should he go WAY back to the very beginning, to before the Avengers were ever assembled, to before many of them even got their powers (or whatever they have), which would resurrect all the other powerful foes, put the Earth (universe even) in terrible peril all over again from threats they just barely managed to defeat the first time around (Loki, Red Skull, Dormammu, Ego, Helena the Dark Elves, etc) and may not be able to defeat a second time (considering the heroes even become heroes in the first place the second time around), just to rid Thanos of that one advantage he had in obtaining that extra stone?

The answer should be more than obvious. Let Thanos have the stone he has and use all your knowledge and resources to plan out a strategy to take him and his forces down now that you know what's coming.

It's the same thing with Darkseid. Ok, so he has Superman's DNA, and he's now making a paradoom army that's not the greatest news ever, but they can still greatly use the situation to their advantage. They still have years of time to prepare and make a move before he's ready, and they can use their knowledge of the future to make a plan and counter his attack since they now know exactly what's going to happen, and can even use Darkseid's spying against him. There is no way anyone, let alone Flash, would be stupid enough to resurrect all their defeated foes and put the world at risk several times over (especially since they don't even know if they'll be able to stop Darkseid from getting Superman's DNA the second time) when they can use the situation so greatly to their advantage and find a way to stop Darkseid before he can even do any damage, especially since the primary reason they lost the first time was because they had recklessly charged into battle without realizing what they were getting into and walked straight into a trap since Darkseid knew their entire plan. You can argue against it all you want, but it's not only logical, it's the only thing that makes any sense.

First of all, no Wonder Woman Bloodlines doesn't occur until after Reign of Superman, because Wonder Woman and Steve have a conversation of how the two of them didn't get together earlier because she was with Superman, and she comments how she's not with him anymore. The movies occur in the order they were released in.

I'm more than sure that they'll be able to find a way to stop the paradooms, maybe even attack before Darkseid is even able to finish preparing his paradoom army. As we saw, he certainly didn't have them ready by the time Reign of Superman occurred. With all the knowledge and technology they have, not to mention plenty of preparation and knowledge of what's coming and what they'll be facing, they'll more than likely be able to find a way. In fact, you could argue that if Flash goes back far enough to warn them of Doomsday, they'll be able to prevent Darkseid from retrieving Doomsday's body and creating his paradoom army to begin with, maybe even study Doomsday's body to find a way to defeat similar enemies in the future (btw, yes I'm aware that Doomsday later resurrects immune to whatever killed him). You can further argue that even with Darkseid's paradoom army, the primary reason the JL failed in their mission, which was actually very well planned, was because they were too reckless and overconfident, and Darkseid was spying on them when they went over their plan, and so he knew everything they were planning and could therefore counter it and sent a trap for them.

In any case, if you still think the entire timeline was reset, then let's just agree to disagree. I still think it would be incredibly stupid on Flash's part and make absolutely no sense other than to pointlessly endanger everyone while robbing them of a big advantage over Darkseid, but if that's what you think, then fine.

They defeated Darkseid without needing to reset everything. The only reason they reset things was because the damage done to the planet when Darkseid began draining its core was borderline irreversible. With a full team, a good plan that Darkseid won't be able to spy on, knowledge of what's to come, and knowing how to strike, they can indeed stop Darkseid and prevent the outcome that happened at the beginning of Apokolips War. Hell, they could probably even go a few years prior to that, like to just after Reign of Supermen, and begin making plans then. When Darkseid sent Doomsday to Earth, it was essentially a test run, or an experiment. As we saw in Reign of Supermen, the paradooms weren't even Darkseid's initial plan. And that took place years before the beginning of Apokolips War based on the ages of some of the younger characters (like Damian and Raven) between then and now. Flash could tell them what was coming then and they could even go with Superman's original plan before Darkseid even has time to make a move. They would have months, maybe even years to plan before Darkseid is even ready to make a move. Hell, Batman has contingency plans to take out the entire Justice League. With forewarned knowledge what Darkseid is planning, he and the others would be able to come up with several ways to stop Darkseid, who, might I add, primarily won because he knew their plan in its entirety and they didn't know what they were getting into.

It basically comes down to the fact that completely resetting absolutely everything would be completely, totally, and absolutely idiots. I mean, why would you even consider going back that far? And exactly how far to before that even? To before the characters met? To before they even got their powers? To before they made names for themselves by facing several villains? It doesn't make sense and is just plan stupid. How many world, even universal threats did they face and win? Darkseid's initial attack. The war with the Atlanteans. Talia's worldwide brainwashing. Trigon's invasion. Doomsday's attack. Darkseid's second invasion with the fake Supermen. Medusa's attack on Themyscira. How many of those battles did they just barely manage to pull victories over? And that's not even counting all the smaller scale villains they defeated in between those world crisis. There is no way Flash put the world at risk several times over when there would be no need to. They would be losing major advantages they would have over defeating Darkseid and run the risk at failing at battles they had already won against galactically powerful villains. Heck, for all he knows, several members of the JL won't even become superheroes. The league itself might not even form. Darkseid might win during his first invasion. Seriously, that would be like you flunking out of college, getting the chance to go back in time to not fail, and instead going all the way back to pre-school. At the absolute earliest, I can't see Flash even considering going back farther than after they defeated Doomsday, but even that seems excessive. But more than that. The visions and memories Flash has from the original Flashpoint let's him know just how dangerous messing with time is, how the smallest things can send things spiraling and cause massive and damaging changes. He's not going to go back any farther than he absolutely has to.

But let's take logic and practicality out of the equation for a second and look at it from simply a storytelling perspective. Completely resetting the series is basically giving the middle finger to the entire fan-dom. All the time and investment and enjoyment put into the characters, events, and stories is completely thrown out. That would be the biggest d*ck move ever. The writers themselves said that the ending of Apokolips War, and was meant to be bittersweet, yet hopeful. It's bittersweet because the victory they strived so hard to achieve over the two year war with Darkseid in the movie only to have face off against him a second time, this time with hope that they will win because they'll now know what's coming and will be prepared. Completely erasing the series however isn't bittersweet, it's beyond tragic and is a total slap in the face to all the fans.

Alternate universes (hence the multiverse term), alternate dimensions, alternate timelines, alternate time periods. There's lots of for there to be multiple Earths. It's what allows the writers to tell the "same" story in different ways, because that story simply takes place in a different universe.
