I was wondering about possible survivors. We're not made privy to the extent to which Atlantean magic could multiply the yield of Captain Atom's atomic force. Could it have killed even Captain Atom himself? Abin Sur is proof that Superman is not the only alien to crash-land in this version of reality, which makes me wonder what became of J'onn J'onzz. What about Zatara, Fate, John Constantine..? Also, we never did find out what became of the Joker. I mean, one could read the comics, but...

Anyway, just like in the alternate reality of Gods and Monsters, despite the rampant death of familiar faces, there was yet left plenty of room for a storyline following Flashpoint in the paradox. Just because Barry changed the past, again, doesn't mean that timeline ceased to exist. Makes me wonder who is left to carry on the story.

Of course, as a writer, it's in my nature to overthink things like that.
