So... What comes after Apokalips War? (DCAMU) (Spoilers)

Billions are dead and the earth is doomed. Sure there are other planets but turning whats left of humanity into refuges is not exactly a good outcome. Best case scenario they could cobble together a ship and save a few thousand people.

Think of it this way - tomorrow someone is hit by a car and crippled for life, next week they find out that their loved ones have been accidently exposed to a toxin which will destroy their minds and slowly kill them, the following week there dog chokes to death after savaging a neighbours small child and they are being charged for reckless endangerment ... then they realise they can prevent all that from happening - they can refresh the universe.
Maybe they don't exist in this new universe, maybe their dog was never conceived, maybe their loved ones never met them or never existed - but they think it is a fair trade to avoid the horrifically bad hand they have been dealt.
However it also means that your parents might never have met, or that one of your loved ones might have died or never existed, or infinite other potential items that mean the universe is not the same.

The Flash is not running back through time to prevent them assaulting Apokalips he is moving through time like taking a flamethrower to a mostly frozen pond - sure all the water might still be there when he is done and the pond will settle down to mostly frozen again and might look fairly similiar but there will be many changes in it - the pond in this case is all of reality.

I don't blame the movie for this it did a fine job showing us that the heroes were effectively broken and hopeless and it was only really two of them that choose to to this - one was ammoral and missing his girlfriend and the other had been tortured for years and was being pushed to do it.

You say “he seemed like the same kid from Son of Batman” like it’s a GOOD thing. It’s not. Son of Batman was terrible, and Damian Wayne was the worst thing in it.

If you were to take Damian Wayne out of that movie it probably wouldn't be terrible - poor maybe.
I didn't mind him in Apokalips War to be honest (other then being reminded of him in different movies).
