Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox First Photo and Plot Details

Apr 4, 2013 by Brian Gallagher

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment revealed the first photo for Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, the latest in their DC Universe animated adventures that will debut on Blu-ray and DVD July 30. Take a look at this image featuring The Flash, then read on for more details regarding this new movie.

The story is based on the 2011 comic book series by Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert. Here is the official plot description from Warner Bros.

"When time travel allows a past wrong to be righted for The Flash and his family, the ripples of the event prove disastrous as a fractured, alternate reality now exists where a Justice League never formed, and even Superman is nowhere to be found. Teaming with a grittier, more violent Dark Knight and Cyborg, Flash races to restore the continuity of his original timeline while this new world is ravaged by a fierce war between Wonder Woman's Amazons and Aquaman's Atlanteans. With breath taking action and an all-star voice cast, it's a bold, emotional vision that will forever change the landscape of the DC Universe."

Kevin Conroy will provide the voice of Bruce Wayne/Batman, Ron Perlman voices Deathstroke, Dana Delany plays Lois Lane, and Vanessa Marshall lends her voice to the Wonder Woman role. Other voice roles including Flash, Cyborg, Reverse Flash, Aquaman, and others will be revealed at a later date.

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox comes to theaters July 30th, 2013.

eBay Reverses Decision to Censor Auction of Jim Carrey Photo

In the continuing saga over Jim Carrey’s anti-gun video attacking Charlton Heston, eBay has walked back its decision earlier this week to censor a user who announced that proceeds for an autographed photo of the actor would be used to purchase a firearm.

STORY: Jim Carrey Slams 'Fux News' Over Gun Fight: It's a 'Media Colostomy Bag'

The auction in question, from a user named “astrobuzz,” went into great detail about objections to Carrey’s Funny or Die video called "Cold Dead Hand," and how he wanted to sell his Carrey collectible to purchase a handgun for the protection of his family. He even alluded to a recent crime they had been victim to. EBay, though, killed the auction after 103 bidders drove the price of the $8 photo to $860.

Two days after eBay squashed the auction, though, a spokesperson on Friday emailed the following statement to The Hollywood Reporter:

“The listing complied with eBay’s policies and was removed in error. Following the removal, eBay reinstated the listing and all fees were credited back to the seller. We apologize for the error and the inconvenience to the seller.”

Meanwhile, astrobuzz started a trend at eBay, whereby users were selling Carrey collectibles with promises that they’d use the money for various pro-gun activities. User hkings promises to give money he gets for some Carrey Blu-ray discs to the NRA and Operation Gratitude, which sends care packages to U.S. military personnel. User drpepsi, on the other hand, lists a 2-cent check signed by Carrey as follows: “Hey Jim Carrey buy this $0.02 eBay check not for a gun but for an unemployed dad.”

Also, t-shirts have begun to spring up on eBay, including one celebrating Carrey’s Funny or Die video and another that seems to disparage it.
