The Flash (2023)

Captain Cold,Captain Boomerang..

and ffs include The Trickster!

New theme music also a box

Yeah, agreed.

I'd maybe do Captain Cold with the Rogues for movie one, then Rogue War with Flash teaming up with Cold to take down Blacksmith or the Top for movie two, and ending with everyone against Grodd or Eobard or (if it's a Wally movie - I can dream, can't I?) Zolomon in movie three.

Actually, if it's a Wally movie, combining Zolomon's Reverse Flash with another villain might be easier than combining Eobard's Reverse Flash with another.

Hunter Zolomon's whole thing is that he's a cop and friend of Wally who got crippled on the job and resents Wally for it. So you could do a film where the first half is Barry trying to take down X villain (like doing the Rogue War thing), and then he manages to stop them but Hunter gets hurt in the process, leading to him becoming Big Bad in the second half: similar to what The Dark Knight did with Harvey Dent.

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.

If Zoom is going to be the Big Bad and Wally is in the same film, then you could play with the idea that the Speed Force is diminishing thanks to overconsumption. And if the Flashes are losing their powers, then the Rogues will be that much more of a threat.

Something like the visuals were intentionally meant to be how they were perceived. Again, I think the movie's really good—though the moral since it's not followed exactly how it should've been did leave me confused admittedly. Too bad it failed, but it's kind of what needed to happen though.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to look bad is ass covering for people pointing out it looks bad. The CGI looks way worse than what Snyder's previous film's did.

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."

With the movie coming to digital tomorrow, would that be when it's okay to add Clooney's pic to the relevant section?

He's the rare Walking Spoiler who only shows up for three seconds, so that's two strikes against that. Images shouldn't be spoilers.

This is just sad at this point. Edit: Flash's debut on Digital has gone bad just barely cracking the top 10. Sorry I forgot to add that.

Umh. Could you say what's In the video. We're not supposed to just post one without saying what's in it.

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."

WB betting on Ezra Miller has seriously cost them. The company, not Miller.

I'll teach you a lesson about just how cruel the world can be. That's my job, as an adult.

New CGI cameo discovered: Jai Courtney's Captain Boomerang appears in the Speed Force bowl.

Nice nod to the only actual Flash Rogue Ezra Miller will ever have faced.

Unless you count Dr Alchemy, whose level of villainy starts and ends with being a douche.

WB had something good and refused to condemn Ezra Miller because they thought it'd kill the movie to do so. They gambled and lost anyway. Be interesting to see how quickly it's sought out later on digital too though.

Really badly. Check video above

It was number one on iTunes yesterday—and had been earlier this week too I think as well. Grace Randolph pointed this out on Movie Math last night while also pointing out that on iTunes, the rating it was getting from users was a good one too.

Can't say that I'd listen to pretty much anything Grace Randolph says without at least a rock of salt.

I remember that time she tried arguing with Gunn. Claiming he was wrong about something he was in charge off. Was weird.

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."

Grace has beef with Gunn and that alien lady from X Men Dark Phoenux lol

Mileena Madness

I remember her beef with Cathy Yan, she was insiting that there was a plotline about Black Mask being a pedophile, and despite Yan telling her that at no point such thing was considered, she just kept doubling down.

I hadn't heard that, only that the MacGuffin was compromising photos of the Big Bad... which honestly sounds like a more interesting plot development than "just like. Iunno. More money?"

Unsure of how accurate this is, however.

Grace was talking of how the info her sources gave her on The Flash was about how similar certain aspects were to Across the Spider-Verse's story and that was on point, so take from that what you will.

I finally saw the movie. It has its highs, but some really low lows. To start off small, Ben Affleck really seemed to be over the whole thing. His performances in other DCEU movies were better.

I don't get why the movie is so determined to shit on Barry as a No-Respect Guy. It's a weird thing to do considering how powerful he is. The movie has an irreverent streak, but you need to be more funny/subversive if you want to be irreverent without annoying viewers. It makes the movie seem... insecure as the torchbearer of the dying embers of the DCEU.

Speaking of annoying... Younger!Barry. He's pretty irritating, sad to say, down to his laugh. I don't know why they had to make him that grating.

I truly don't understand how Barry trying to stop his mom's murder changes his Bruce Wayne so dramatically. And the fact that his Bruce is now George Clooney's makes for an Esoteric Happy Ending because he's not Barry's friend! He has no memories with this guy!

I will say the movie does have some pathos. That's probably its greatest asset. I liked how furious Supergirl was when she learned that Zod killed Clark as a baby. Too bad the alternate timeline is a "Shaggy Dog" Story. Barry visiting his mom as an adult was admittedly quite touching.

The Chrono Bowl special effects smacked of Xbox 360 graphics.

In conclusion, the highs and lows kinda cancel each other out, making for a very So Okay, It's Average experience. I doesn't help that it's kind of a Justice League 1.5 movie instead of... well... a Flash movie.

I lament the wasted potential of the DCEU.

I liked it better when Questionable Casting was called WTH Casting Agency

I think the Flashpoint Paradox movie said something about that, but basically Barry just shook up time itself and basically caused a lot of flapping butterflies.

Wake me up at your own risk.

Forgot to mention that I really hate how they took Temuera Morrison's poignant character from Aquaman and turned it into a cheap and unfunny gag about him being in a marriage with an average woman instead of pining for the Queen of Atlantis.
