Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After Barry wakes up in bandages with third degree burns all over him, there is a spot of blood on his chest below his left shoulder. A good amount of the blood stain overlaps a line dividing two strands of the bandage. Moments later when he sits up, the blood is barely above that line at all. Later when Barry is sitting in the chair again, that same stain has completely changed shape. Other patches of blood on him also change. (00:36:20 - 00:38:00)

Continuity mistake: After he gets his powers back, Flash takes off to try and time jump with speed. He fails and trips, sliding to a grinding stop out in the open desert. The shot from the side of him on the ground shows him lying on rolling "sand waves" and looks rather smooth with no vegetation around him except some cacti in the distance. The shot then cuts to an over head view as he sits up and starts to weep in desperation. Suddenly the rolling sand is now a dried cracked dirt and there are bushes and more cacti around him. (00:43:10)

Continuity mistake: As Cyborg is opening the door to Superman's cell, several layers of blast doors open one at a time. The last one to open you see for a moment as it begins to slide, you can see the room beyond through it in red. It then cuts to the other side and suddenly there is yet another layer of door that is opening by just sliding to the right, preventing any possibility of a view seen less than a second before.

Then when the shooting starts, those two boats vanish. (00:51:10)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: Batman and Cyborg have their backs to the tunnel they just came from and are shooting at the boats in front of them. Some soldiers come out of the tunnel behind them and fire a rocket in their direction. Superman suddenly jumps in and catches the rocket and it explodes. The blast knocks Batman over the rock he was hiding behind so he is on the boats' side of it, not the tunnel's side. But moments later when he is getting up and twp solders are rushing him, he is suddenly back on the side he came from, just before Superman vaporizes the soldiers with his heat vision. (00:52:10)

More trivia for Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox

Question: In the altered timeline, Flash initially could not travel through time because there was another speedster. How was he able to travel through time in the original timeline, when Zoom was alive there as well?

Answer: Flash couldn't travel through time later in the movie not because Zoom was alive but because Zoom was also tapping into the Speed Force, preventing Flash from gathering enough of the Speed Force to break the Time Barrier. When Flash originally went back in time it's likely because Zoom was in custody, therefore not tapping into the Speed Force at that time.

Answer: Batman kills Zoom so the Flash could use the speed force.
