The science fiction/fantasy trope has played an integral role in numerous classic DC stories over the years, and with a Flashpoint movie currently in development with Game Night directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley at the helm, we need to consider the possibility of Steve Trevor’s survival having something to do with the “time boom” caused by Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) when he went back to save his mother from her untimely death.
Going one step further, however, we need to consider the possibility that time travel is somehow responsible for the survival of Steve Trevor and his eventual arrival in this new era.
If the year 1984 and time travel feel like natural fits for one another, that’s because James Cameron’s original Terminator movie debuted that year.
