I don't think they can really ignore Sivana or Mister Mind though.
I mean, I don't see why you'd ever need an original villain for a hero that has an extensive Rogues Gallery.
It's like taking a Batman movie and he ends up having to fight some random crime boss.
How is it not Flashpoint though? It's not going to be a one-to-one adaption like the animated movie but the premise is exactly the same.
It's like saying the TV show didn't adapt Flashpoint because it wasn't a one-to-one adaption even though they explicitly called it "Flashpoint."
Is Barry Allen going to go back in time to save his mother from being murdered and thus change the timeline or something to that effect? Then yeah, it's Flashpoint.
