The Flashpoint Timeline was an alternate timeline created by Flash after he Time Traveled to save his mother. It shares many similarities with the original timeline, but has many differences such as Bruce and Kara looking different from their original versions or some characters having different origin stories and some events happening in another time.
The reality was erased by the Flash after attempting to return the original timeline where he came from by allowing his mother Nora Allen to die, however by changing the placement of the canned tomatoes in order to ensure his father's innocence when he was tried for her murder, he ended up creating another timeline.
