The seven-issue limited series—written by Geoff Johns, Jeremy Adams and Tim Sheridan and illustrated by Eduardo Risso, Xermánico and Mikel Janín—began its monthly publication from April 12 to October 18, 2022.
After helping Barry Allen—the speedster superhero The Flash—restore the timeline back to its original state,[N 1] Thomas Wayne—the vigilante Batman—finds himself once again in the aberrant timeline known as the Flashpoint, whose existence Batman is determined to change and replace with another version of the DC Universe (DCU), all for the sole purpose of erasing the death of his son Bruce.
[1] Batman enlists Mime and Marionette (from Doomsday Clock) to sneak into the Time Masters' headquarters and steal a snowglobe that houses the Flashpoint timeline to save his father from being erased from existence.
Thomas saves Harvey's son Dexter before confronting and killing the assassin, who says Aquaman sent him to stop Barry Allen from becoming the Flash.
Back on Earth Prime, Bruce is confronted by Corky Baxter, who warns him that Rip Hunter and the Time Masters will come after him.
Aquaman interrupts the news broadcasts demanding that the humans withdraw from the oceans and turn over all nuclear weapons to Atlantis in 12 hours or everyone will drown starting with Britain.
She does tell Thomas about an Arkham Asylum inmate named Psycho-Pirate who says that he came to 'hyper-time' to escape a "Dark Crisis" while ranting that Bruce Wayne is supposed to be Batman.
When Gilda starts to ramble that Thomas was a bad father, Batman punches the glass window of her cell, disfiguring the left side of her face.
Meanwhile, Batman wakes up in the presence of Poison Ivy who is working for Super-Man, along with Jason Woodrue/Swamp Thing, to build the Oasis.
Thomas arrives home with the clock gears he found in Thawne's corpse and Oswald tells him that Dexter is gone, suspecting he went to visit his mother in Arkham Asylum.
Thomas ignores him, stating that he is one step closer to finding the killer, and that the clock gears hold the clue.
Back on Prime Earth, the snow globe starts to crack, with Corky stating Batman does not know the truth about his mom.
[7] Two days after the Dark Crisis, Batman finds Ra's al Ghul in Wayne Manor wanting to celebrate both their returns.
He gives Batman the ashes of the alternate Thomas Wayne who was incinerated by Darkseid's Omega Beams and research from Rorschach's journal claiming that there's still time to save his father.
Following her into her lair where she obtained a Time Sphere, Joker reveals her plans to save Bruce's life and make sure they are the ones who die.
In the Watchmen reality, a girl named Cleopatra Pak meets Bubastis II as they fail to enter a building.
[15] Comprising seven issues released by DC at monthly intervals, Flashpoint Beyond began publishing on April 12 and ended on October 18 of the same year.
[27] Flashpoint Beyond leads into The New Golden Age, with a new Justice Society of America series and a Stargirl miniseries springing from it, both written by Johns.
