Guillermo del Toro Gómez (Spanish: [ɡiˈʝeɾmo ðelˈtoɾo]; born 9 October 1964) is a Mexican filmmaker, author, and artist. His work has been characterized by a strong connection to fairy tales, gothicism, and horror, often blending the genres to infuse visual or poetic beauty into the grotesque. He has had a lifelong fascination with monsters, which he considers symbols of great power. He is known for pioneering dark fantasy in the film industry and using insectile and religious imagery, his themes of Catholicism, and celebrating imperfection, underworld motifs, practical special effects, and dominant amber lighting. Throughout his career, del Toro has shifted between Spanish-language films—such as Cronos (1993), The Devil's Backbone (2001), and Pan's Labyrinth (2006)—and English-language films, including Mimic (1997), Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004) and its sequel Hellboy II: The Golden Army(2008), Pacific Rim (2013), Crimson Peak (2015), The Shape of Water (2017), Nightmare Alley (2021), and Pinocchio (2022). As a producer or writer, he worked on the films The Orphanage (2007), Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010), The Hobbit film series (2012–2014), Mama (2013), The Book of Life (2014), Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018), Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019), and The Witches (2020). In 2022, he created the Netflix anthology horror series Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, featuring a collection of classical horror stories. With Chuck Hogan, he co-authored The Strain trilogy of novels (2009–2011), which was later adapted into a comic book series (2011–15) and a live-action television series (2014–17). With DreamWorks Animation and Netflix, he created the animated franchise Tales of Arcadia, which includes the series Trollhunters (2016–18), 3Below (2018–19), and Wizards (2020) and the sequel film Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans (2021). Del Toro is close friends with fellow Mexican filmmakers Alfonso Cuarón and Alejandro G. Iñárritu, collectively known as "The Three Amigos of Mexican Cinema". He has received several awards, including three Academy Awards, three BAFTA Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, a Daytime Emmy Award, and a Golden Lion. He was included in Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2018, and he received a motion picture star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2019.
In the Dc/Marvel universe during Flashpoint the universe was split into two timelines where in one timeline it goes normally and things are reset, but in the second timeline things don't reset. The second timeline starts to get affected by the destruction of the multiverse in the first timeline and the Titans of the second timeline have to stop their world from falling apart. Throughout the movie Mr. Mxyzptlk leads Slade to becoming a God and once Slade does get the powers of a God he intends on creating a world to rule once this world falls. Soon Wally West and Barry Allen try to save the universe by going into the Speedforce and from in there access the Timeforce witch will allow them to access the point in time where the timeline split and fix it but before they can they are interrupted by Thawne. Wally tries to stop Thawne while Wally fixes the timeline but Wally is killed by Thawne and Barry gets stuck in the Timeforce permanently. The movie ends with Nightwing and Slade having a final battle where Nightwing grabs Slade while they're both surrounded by fractures of time. Nightwing then pulls both him and Slade into one of the fractures killing them both and freeing the timeline making it to where Barry can heal the timeline. The movie closes with Thawne fading into dust and Barry returning to a fractured Earth to reunite with the Titans. In the post credits scene, we see Nightwing and Slade land in the same universe but its the timeline that was reset, the main timeline.
