Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox animated movie\\n
When time travel allows a past wrong to be righted for Flash and his family, the event\\u2019s temporal ripples prove disastrous, creating a fractured, alternate reality where the Justice League never formed, and even Superman is nowhere to be found. Amidst a new world being ravaged by a fierce war between Wonder Woman\\u2019s Amazons and Aquaman\\u2019s Atlanteans, Flash must team with a grittier, more violent Batman and government agent Cyborg to restore the continuity of Flash\\u2019s original timeline.

Major Spoilers Poll of the Week\\n
In between the running, jumping, hollering, and general mayhem that occurs in the Major Spoilers HQ when The Boys (aka Stephen\\u2019s children) are playing, there is a considerable amount of time spent playing video games. While some of us have little time to sit down in front of the gaming console, others spend far too much time pressing up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start. Which brings us to this week\\u2019s moment of deep soul searching.

\\n\\n

How many hours a week do you play video games?
