[@whiteknight8734]

WB handling of DC live action so horribly bad. Even when they have a good product, they just deliberately find ways to f*ck it up. They've changed so many things in this movie. a couple who are my good friends saw the first early screening for this movie in early 2022 and they loved it and when the final movie came out and they saw it, they hated it because some very key elements in this movie was changed which basically changes the whole narrative and ending of the movie. WB executives for whatever reason just loves to make creative changes in their DC movies when it's been repeatedly resulted into absolute disasters. Started with Batman V Superman, then infamous Whedon JL, and they still haven't learned. All Batman cameos from the upcoming Aquaman 2 movie has been removed confirmed by the director of the movie himself and they had literally 2 batman cameos in the movie . Batlfeck and Keaton. I thought James Gunn might act differently but dude seems to be acting the same way like his predecessors. I just hope he can keep things steady in the new universe they're making

@@MrDarkSidius I didn't really feel that in this movie, I thought all the emotional scenes were well done. What you describe is how I felt about some MCU movies, especially Thor Ragnarok. Thor lost so much in that movie, his Dad, his home, his eye, yet that movie felt like there was no emotional weight & he hardly showed any emotion or grievance towards that. Compared to like No Way Home, you can feel the emotional weight & the pain Peter went through, losing Aunt May & having his friends forget who he is.

If Batman is the best part of your Flash movie, there's a problem. Also, the animators have come out and said that they were pressured for time and that's why the cgi is a little off. They did their job, it was the executives and studios that wanted this movie out as soon as possible. Which made the animators rush out an unpolished project.

So this is something that every VFX artist and director has to deal with: what is accurate, vs what looks good. The friction-less running is physically accurate, but doesn't look good. Most realistic things do not look good. There isn't no friction, but he is just going too fast for the friction to affect him. That's why the water still moves around.

[@aydinbiber7616]

Is it physically accurate? We have no real-life examples of people running at light speed.

[@TrojanExodus]

@@aydinbiber7616 So CorridorDigital broke it down pretty well. But as for physics goes, the slower something slides against a surface, there is more resistance so the faster it goes, the less resistance there is. But the effects of them sliding together (heating up, scratching or damaging it) still apply. Idk if I am explaining it correctly, I cannot words well lol

[@chriswright8114]

no, this is not accurate. to accurately show him not experiencing friction, all you need to do is not have him slow down. that's not the issue. the issue is that while he may not be experiencing the effects of friction, the rest of the world is. there should be massive trails left on the ground with every footstep. gouges, scorch marks, not to mention the virtual crater he would create every time he comes to a stop. instead they only show water moving away from him, which should honestly be more like vapor. not even close to what i would call accurate.

[@TrojanExodus]

@@chriswright8114 This is something that has been ignored in the comics forever, the flash would damage everything around him. I am more speficially talking about the way he himself moves relative to the surface he is running on. With that speed, one step would have a lot of force and just push him much farther. The way he moves through the air across the ground IS correct but only theoreitcally because we haven't seen anything besides light move that fast. The affects of him running like that are not correct. But I think the comics used "the speed force" as a way to explain stuff like that at some point idk

[@BigJT246]

​@@chriswright8114well I heard the explanation for him not damaging everything around him is the speed force.

[@TheNinjaBees]

I quite like Supergirl hope that actress sticks around. I feel like Kara is usually plucky and had an adventurous spirit. But she WAS a kryptonian, she’s a refugee from a planet destroyed by a authoritarian cue. I like that she is more serious with a chip on her shoulder

[@swampfireian41]

Also, a Supergirl who FAILS to do her singular job and protect Kal-El? That's interesting. Like, yeah, technically she fails in most iterations because she arrives like 20-30 years after, but Kal-El is fine. But this shows Kal-El dying while in transit, and I want to see the fallout on Supergirl's psyche and morality when she is, for all intents and purposes, the LAST Kryptonian and the LAST of the House of El. I'd also like seeing them explore her being an actual Kryptonian, raised in the culture, as opposed to a lot of her iterations where she's just Superman's "little" cousin who largely acts normal to human standards. Weirdly enough, the CW show is probably one of the Supergirl iterations that kind of delves into that- but not terribly deeply.

[@TheNinjaBees]

@@swampfireian41yeah it’s cool how solem she is accepting a lot of failure. They don’t do the typical “ fish out of water” trope with her eating icecream and being like, “wow this is the best thing I’ve ever had this planet is amazing!”

"How did Blue Beetle do?" Lmao, once you find out hahahahahaha

[@lordmorklen5166]

I loved Keaton Batman more in The Flash than I did in his original movies. And it was not because he actually moved like Batman in this, but because he acted so much like Bruce Wayne in this. Smart, methodical but someone who would rather sacrifice himself than let a friend get hurt. Also, Ezra acted the hell out of every scene with Barry and Barry. This is exactly how someone of his intellect and in his position in JLA would interact with his younger self.

[@CrazyCon500Games]

Personally, my fav part of this whole movie was Supergirl, her pure rage during the fight scenes were so satisfying to watch, and the actor who played her did a great job, IMO... Also Batman beating shit up was fun to watch. Got to admit, I never cared for screaming teenage Barry the whole movie... It wasn't a great movie, but was, alright.

[@DCComicsGamer]

Other than the straight-bad CG, I really enjoyed like 75% of The Flash. It's the 25% remaining where it really falls apart - most of which is the ending. It was re-edited and re-written SO many times. Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and Superman were all supposed to appear at the court scene, for example. Consequently, Supergirl has no ending. The biggest irritation for me is... all The Flash really did for me is prove that Ben Affleck is the best Batman, in the movie that writes him out. Great. Oh, and Nicholas Cage DID film for this movie... and they cut him out and did it all in bad CG. Madness.

The ending scene apparently changed like 3 or 4 times because WB kept changing direction. Originally it would have been Affleck, but he wanted out after the Justice League debacle. They filmed a version with Keaton and Calle, then another with Cavill. Then the reboot was announced and they brought in Clooney because the ending didn't matter anymore. It's interesting though that this basically canonized the Burton films and Schumacher films are different universes.

I feel the same way as you guys, I liked some things and disliked others. I totally agree with Eric about the sound effect for the World Engine. I was waiting for it and was left disappointed.

[@immamlgproo]

I think the flash 'skating' is basically showing him in slow motion, because if you think about it it'll be weird if hes moving his arms and legs like a million times a second but would be looking around at regular speed.

[@codasinger5298]

I agree! I think maybe if they did a trick where it's implied his arms and legs ARE moving that fast, but just like in life when things move in repeated motions at incredible speed it can kind of blur into a slow-motion effect? Like when a helicopter's blades start up and eventually your brain perceives them start spinning backward because of how fast they move. Again though, if's and's and but's that could've and should've and would've, y'know?

The scene where he’s walking slow into stomping into super speed into strides after the flashback to his mom and dad at the beginning is such a good shot I don’t think it gets enough credit. This movie needed an actual fight between the two flash’s before they talked it out I would’ve taken that over that multiverse scene easily. This is probably the coolest concept I’ve ever seen for time travel with him running backwards in place while his destination forms around him like a tape in reverse, if only it looked like actual people instead of game graphics.

[@DarthTingleBinks]

So, for some reason, DESPITE the film having an entire spaghetti analogy to this film's use of time travel and how it affects the world around it, people still don't understand it. So I'm going to try to explain it better. We have two different conepts in this movie. Universes, and timelines. Unlike the MCU, this film uses those concepts correctly. A universe is a physical space with a whole set of natural laws that dictate what can and can't happen within it. A timeline is a series of events within that universe. So a universe is what, and a timeline is what happens. So to speak. When Barry saved his mom, he changed the timeline within that universe. Replaced the old one with the new one. And that change reverberated throughout all of time, forward and backward. But it is also soon after this timeline change that we also see the introduction of a time loop. Future Barry 2 pushes Barry 1 into the new timeline, eventually leading to the events that makr him him. But then he accidentally kills himself. This happens because they're outside of time and thus not subject the nature of a causal loop. But when future Barry 2 kills present Barry 2, it effectively erases the events of the rest of the movie that we've seen up until this point, because the grandfather paradox still exists. Or a similar one, anyway. If Barry 2 never became an evil Barry 2, he could never have caused the events that led to his own creation. But don't think about it too hard. Just don't. Because the answer is that Barry 2 either never existed, always existed, or is simultaneously existand AND non-existent. And none of them make sense. At the end of the movie, Barry 1 changes the timeline again. Barry 2 no longer exists because he never had the opportunity to exist, and the timeline is mostly the same as it was before. But that change he made with the placement of the tomato soup also reverberated throughout time. This new timeline is not the same as the original one, but it, too, has replaced it. Universes are the giant Speed Force domes we see at the end, all crashing into one another. Each dome essentially peers into moments in time witin those respective universes, and when the domes collided, cracks between time and space emerged, allowing the horribly rendered CG monstrosities to peer into the DCEU Speed Force dome/universe. Okay. If I explained everything accurately, then our collective understanding is that neither Michael Keaton or George Clooney are playing the SAME versions of Batman as they did in theirbown respective movies. Those films exist in a separate universe, but the events of this film take place entirely within one universe with multiple timelines (or the same timeline, but altered). Michael Keaton veing Batman and being older than Ben Affleck Batman was one of the many changes to the timeline when Barry saved his mom. George Clooney being Batman was one of what we can only assume are equally numerous changes to the timeline when Barry saved his dad from life in prison. The clips we see of George Reeves and the classic style Jay Garrick (who I don't think ever existed in real life), Christopher Reeves and Helen Slater, Nic Cage Superman, and the 60's Batman series all exist within separate universes. The same universes those characters and stories originally appeared in. But Michael Keaton and George Clooney are not playing their versions of the character, but similar versions within a different universe and setting due to the changes in the timeline made by Barry. Edit: So basically, the SMALL amount of the multiverse we see in this film still lines up with what we've seen in the Arrowverse, particularly within Crisis on Infinite Earths. And it seems weird to me, that Marvel is the company that, despite their infinitely larger succes, fail to understand the differences between a universe and timeline. While DC, a far less consistent franchise and far more disjointed while also ALL being connected to everything else has consistently understood the concepts they were playing with.

34:43 Justice League Barry set up Noob Barry to fail. He knew Noob Barry had to regulate energy to not overheat/overcharge and still let him use the overheating suit. If they switched it would be more efficient in term of in-universe logic. The more experienced Barry is the one juggling regulating energy and Noob Barry has the "safer" suit. AND it would make sense in the climax how Noob Barry kept rewinding and replaying events. Noob Barry can keep going over and over and JL Barry can't. But yeah in terms of logistics of the movie, they probably did it to make the improvised suit the one that gets corrupted and mangled.

Ezra Miller's last screen appearance in the DCEU. I saw this in IMAX and i did enjoy myself regardless of all that was stacked against it from criticism to toxic fandom, Box office numbers, etc. For me, there was an epicness and expectation, especially after Justice League:The Snyder Cut. Ezra Miller does own it as the lead. I enjoyed seeing Sasha Calle as Supergirl and having both Affleck & Keaton as Batman. The visual effects did look kinda weird and it was on purpose, like it or not. Everybody's powers and abilities coming through in major doses. The character interactions, action sequences and so many easter eggs were good fun. 2 of the final scenes shook things up; one was very epic (speed force realm) and the other was extremely on purpose and maddening (Clooney's "sort of" cameo). Keaton signed on to do 3 films. The Flash (2023), the unreleased Batgirl movie and Batman Beyond. Just to see him back in action was one of the best parts and we'll never see again. Between Erza Miller's transgressions with the law or being hated on for his portrayal of the character, the displeasure with the DCEU, etc; everybody had a reason for the displeasure of the film. A script for The Flash sequel by the writers of Aquaman movies had finished a long time ago and would've been pursued if the movie hadn't flopped like it did.

[@matt_canon]

Honestly, the very first time I watched this, I'm surprised Supergirl and Batman were killed against Zod, Faora and Nam-Ek. It was more realistic, which I appreciate. I figured them going to all that trouble to rescure Supergirl that she'd be OP and save the day Captain Marvel style. Happy to be wrong about that. -- That being said, I'm surprised the younger Flash was able to kill Faora the way he did with the slash and stab. She's Zod's second in command, no qualms about killing, brutal and effective...younger Flash, he's fast, but otherwise her opposite.-- Also, I liked how they had the Kryptonians battle the U.S. military at Edwards AFB. -- Despite its shortcomings, the movie had a few unexpected highlights. I hadn't seen any of the trailers and wasn't expecting Michael Shannon to reprise his role. Zod being victorious no matter how many times they tried to redo it, is pretty much how it would go. Makes me wonder why Zod didn't stab Kal-El.

Ah yes, this film. As a huge Flash fan, he’s literally my favourite superhero, I was really excited for this movie and when I came out of the cinema I ended up thinking it was pretty good. Like an 8/10. But the more it lingered with me and the more I thought about it, the more I began to dislike it. I don’t care about the controversies with Ezra, I’m very good at separating art from artist, I can look past bad cgi, all I cared about was the story. And at the end of the day, after thinking about it more and more, I hate this movie. Since I saw it I think I’d give it a 3/10 or 4/10 and I think it’ll only get lower as time goes on. There are some good things in it, mostly the scene when Barry is with his mother and has to put the can back, but all things considered I just hate it. Saying that makes me so sad, but it’s true.

[@shaehankhan7912]

All they really needed to do was follow and take notes from Flash point the animated movie, like instead of having bad nostalgia bait have old Batman be Thomas Wayne , Reverse flash being the actual villain throughout the movie, and actual good character banter,etc. But knowing how this movie went through development hell because no one liked the script or wanted take a huge task makes sense why this movie is a mess the more you think about it.

[@auslandermercury972]

That was a fantastic impression of the World Engine 😂

[@TheRManProds]

The Cameos were the Best Part! Cage looked Great as Superman!

[@ketchup016]

Personally, I thought this movie was too silly, and I am NOT someone who thinks DC/superheroes need to be all grimdark. I like silly superhero movies, they're all we had in the 90s. This one didn't land with me, but it doesn't bother me if other people enjoyed it, that's great.

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I actually kinda liked this, because I saw it at home after already hearing all the sruff about it, so I didn't have expectations and just went in ignoring everything and just having fun with it as is. I like more lighthearted and goofy things as opposed to overly serious stuff anyway, so CGI aside, I actually quite liked it, especially all the time travel ajd multiverse stuff! Trippy stuff like that is always cool to me anyway lol.

[@brianisaksen2274]

Same. I’m so glad I’m able to live making up my own mind and enjoying the fun/goofy side of things rather than let the miserable mindset of other people influence my experiences.

[@darknexus6720]

Has this channel stopped watching most major films in theaters now? I'm not referring to this film in particular, but all blockbusters films that have come out in the year. How many of them do they actually have reviews for opening weekend or within the first week of release?

[@pleclerc2112]

The reason he moves his arms like that is to channel the speed force lightning. That's why he keeps 2 fingers up, think of uncle iroh in avatar.

[@andareon]

The movie was actually fun and good entertainment. It clearly lacks in a lot of areas (and I feel the burden of the poor VFX artists that had to leave the move CGI half finished to answer to the pressure of the studio to release the movie) but It was definitely fun to watch, the humour usually hits quite well, that worked for me. I took the CGI like I would for a smaller budget movie or for TV (when you've watched years of CW's the Flash, you're ready to watch this level of CGI, even if the difference in cost is huge). Bottom line, not a great movie, but not a total miss in my books, totally on par with some other DC/Marvel movies we got.

[@linhlenguyen1749]

Definitely better than some of the recent Marvel movies for me, I guess thanks to being ignorance about Erza, the CGI and other Flash shows 😅 For a newcomer to the Flash, still want to give this one a 7 or 8

[@Tze52]

For me since the whole movie was "soaked" in CGI, I just accepted it and enjoyed it for what it is

[@barney7822]

Aside from the CGI microwave baby, I don't think the rest was enough to break my suspension of disbelief overall I think the approach on the CGI in the running scenes was similar to what was done for the VR world in "Ready Player One" The CGI characters in the cronoball scenes weren't meant to be real. They were meant to be echoes of the real ones. Like statues at a museum Maybe it would've looked better if they had been done in monochrome Like the liquid metal holograms in MAN OF STEEL

[@chanman2746]

That baby scene was probably the most ridiculous, unfinished, and most drawn out thing in this whole movie. But the comedy really hits and the concept was actually really stellar. Lot of similarities to flashpoint and that’s what I loved.

[@auslandermercury972]

I too am so sad we’ll likely not be getting any more Ben Affleck Batman 😔 He was great in this movie. My favorite part actually. Even with the small part he had 🥲

[@Thehardtruth69]

This movie has so many things going against it- Ezra, DCEU ending, 8 seasons of CW flash, animated Flashpoint, etc- but at the end of the day, i enjoyed this. It's RIDDLED with plot holes which I expected of any Flash media but i laughed, i was hyped, and i teared up. I get the criticism about CGI the running style, choice of effects, costume design, etc. I agree- not my preference. The criticism for the fanservice though i take issue with. I much prefer the fanservice here than in No Way Home. Here, you're given context as to why Batman and the Kryptonian are different. Keaton's movies didn't matter- the film explained enough of him for me to understand who that version is and how he came to be. No Way Home brought in Garfield and MgGuire and sort of expected you to have watched the films to get why they and their villains act the way the do without doing any work of their own. The fanservice there don't stand on their own. The flashes of the worlds colliding here show the urgency of the situation, and sure there are cameos, but it's not like we needed to watch those movies to understand the cameos because ultimately, the plot didn't depend on them and their backstory which is appropriate.

[@Chencho7613]

I think he "glides" across the floor after a certain speed. You can see in a shot, his limbs move super fast UNTIL he hits a speed then glides..idkkk

[@yoosanti1605]

I think it was a decent movie but for it being a Flash movie you have to understand the CGI that needs to go with it so let the artist take their time for it to be good, it was clear that this movie was fan service for fans and I still enjoyed it my stakes for DC was so low the flash wasnt that bad compared to the other DC movies. Overall couldve been better but when I went and watched it I had a good time. Im hopping James DCU will help make DC actually something with a well strutured storyline that feels enjoyable to watch.

[@namecomingsoon9517]

I am in the minority here. And i know on a technical standpoint this isnt the best movie. But i fully enjoyed this movie and loved it. In my top favorite movies of the year for how i enjoyed it. And again. Minority here. I like the the running style. It reminds me of Shadow the hedgehog where he had scates. He still touches the ground but he moves so fast he looks like he glides across the floow. So things are still effected by his footsteps

[@vitorHSreis]

Dude can time travel but doesn't find out who killed his mom

[@k.delpino1124]

That was what the sequel would've been. Meeting Reverse Flash.

[@urbnctrl]

The reason it looks like he is running slow is the same effect as rotorblades from a helicopter changing speed to slowmo for the naked eye once they pass the refresh rates of your eyes.

[@garydodd2837]

Pity u didnt like it as much as me, i just got over Cgi...i thought comedy was on point and emotional drama with Ezra was incredible....Keaton was best he has ever been, Supergirl was so good in role and felt like Cavills cousin...the story was interesting and stunts were ambitious.....bad cgi and Kyrptonians were shoehorned in...

[@Mrloophole]

I think I liked it way more then most people It's still not a great movie but it's not as bad as people are saying. And yep Supergirl was very well cast.

[@dirkdiggler9173]

I’m confused that the three of them haven’t seen this movie yet

[@TheRManProds]

ONE OF THE BEST DC MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@vi8852]

Right……

[@rotciiv_]

GUYS, IT'S REALLY... WHEN WILL REACT KUNG FU PANDA 2 AND 3 GUYS? REALLY, WE WANTED IT SO MUCH.

[@eerice704]

I think the best and worst thing that happened to this movie was tying it into Keaton Batman nostalgia. One one hand, it saved a lot of scenes (as much as they could be) and helped distract from Ezra (if you were bothered by him), but at the same time it REALLY detracted from it being the first solo flash movie

[@RedHeadKevin]

I wish this movie had gone full Snyderverse Flashpoint Paradox and had Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Thomas Wayne/ Batman.

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I like how Michael Keaton blatantly dissed Endgame with the time travel spaghetti stuff😂

[@harveydent73]

I don't care what anybody says. I for one enjoyed it.

[@slimefudge]

2:49 I'm laughing, I'm choking. That's the funniest thing I've seen all year

[@sham00ly75]

I have been waiting for this reaction for SOOOOO LOOONG

[@J__T]

There is so much that I want to say about this movie. I just want to write a full on essay on all that's logically wrong with it but I know it would tens of thousand words long, not joking. Instead I'll just point out some highlights of what I liked and what I didn't. Before I begin, this movie is listed as a sequel to SZJL but it includes references and logic to _both_ cuts of the film. I won't go into it outside of dialogue from SZ and visuals from theatrical. First, what I liked: there was a lot of little things I enjoyed and they were _not_ the callbacks and references; they actually go in the dislike section. I like the lightning changes such as maybe the suit lowers the frequency to make his speed more controlled, I don't know. Sasha Calle had almost nothing to work with and she was probably the only one I routed for - she actually attempts to save people that she doesn't know! That's better than Superman in his own movie (love Henry Cavill, it's not his fault)! Burton Batman is by far the best part of this film and that's particularly sad because he's horrifically mischaracterized. I like the Bat Flash suit after he rips off the neck guard. I'm not huge on Pop figures but his is real neat. I'm glad Clooney returned and I have a little theory about it at the end. And that's probably it unfortunately. Now, what I disliked: the logic in this movie is just not there. The story demands that fixed time is a thing except the continuity requires that time is not fixed. Follow the origin of the fixed time idea and it literally is just Older Barry pulling it from nowhere. The whole time travel and causality thing doesn't work. Despite changing everything, Barry still knows the same people. I'd happily argue that Barry doesn't time travel until the final battle and is instead world-hopping, '89 Bruce actually says as much at least twice. Younger Barry is awfully obnoxious which is to bad because out of the two Flashes, he's the real hero in the end. Reminder: DCEU Barry abandons a whole world to New Krypton because killing invading soldiers is always wrong. That and this is not changing a past event that effects the future because the future hasn't happened yet. The world collides part is only there for the callbacks, that's it. Because Older Barry and Younger Barry are a thing, shouldn't other Barrys be there in the final battle? If not, then why can't the number of Flashes appear from the Worlds collide scene? Fifties Flash, '66 Batman met a Flash in 1979, Chris Reeves or Nick Cage would have been around John Wesley Shipp's '90s Flash. None of these can happen or the movie would end completely differently. The last thing I'll say is that I completely agree: who did kill Nora Allen? In the 2013 Flashpoint movie, it's just a random mugger and Barry's dad is never mentioned. There's a theory online that states Nora un-alived herself which explains the plothole - isn't that sad? Aaron, Eric was talking about Barry's flashback which is the same timeline presumably. My Clooney theory is this: in the DCEU Zod is stopped by Kal-El; in this movie Zod attacks Burton Bruce and Calle's Supergirl; so what about Clooney? In the Batman and Robin 1997 movie Batman mentions Superman and the closest Superman movie was Chris Reeve. Guys, Clooney is not killed by Zod because Superman II happened! Last question: how come only 3 invading Kryptonians have powers under Earth's sun and none of the others do?

[@BobbyM817]

I don’t mind the suit. The CGI and the cowl do bug me though

[@Bizarro82]

Vitally important fact: The Kryptonian giant is called Nam-Ek. 😉

[@athenian221]

I knew Mistress-murder was Faora El but I always called him The Kryptonian 😊

[@chrisyancey89]

I have to admit, the Keaton Batman scenes were great & the Christopher Reeve Deepfake scene got me emotional. George Clooney's cameo as Bruce Wayne was so shocking & hilarious at the same time.

[@Geeer7253]

About James Gunn being "paid" to say it was a great! Well, so they paid him to say it about this one but not the Aquaman and Blue beetle? Lol

[@RyanWitalison]

I enjoyed most of the film, there was some good things in there and had the makings of a great film, but Ezra was distracting and frankly the Arrowverse did the Multiverse better, I'd have enjoyed something related to the Ezra cameo in the Flash series. I really enjoyed Supergirl and am saddened that because of how this film did we won't see her actually do something with the role. It was nice to see Keaton back as Batman.

[@FanboyAv]

I've been waiting for this reaction for a very long time !!!!

[@michaeltunnicliffe4935]

This film makes me sad. They could have done Flashpoint properly. Instead we got this bollocks. The pieces were all there thanks to some stellar casting. Jeffery Dean Morgan as Thomas Wayne. Should have been him instead of Keaton. Use Captain America one effects to make Henry Cavil into the weedy Superman from the comics and animated film. Get Ray Fisher back as Cyborg. And bring in Zachary Levi's Shazam. Thats the golden team there. Forget Supergirl, Keaton Batman and other annoying Flash. Also, forget Zod. The threat should have been Wonder Woman vs Aquaman. They were both in the fucking film. Just expand their roles a bit. Bring Amber Heard back to be decapitated. I'm sure a lot of fans would have loved to see that. It was all there. It could have been a reality. Now, it was used as a whimper to end the DCEU and has wasted the potential of seeing a proper live action Flashpoint film because I doubt WB would want to take another stab at it. It was a wast eof potential, and a waste of my time. Because I hated this film. For all the terrible CGI, for the butchering of a great story and for the terrible, terrible, terrible attempts at humour. It was not funny. CGI babies. Not funny. Annoying second Barry. Not funny. Awkward sex quote. Not funny. The naked scene, the tooth scene, the annoying flat mates, the running about with no powers scene. NOT FUNNY.

[@Ricardo0954]

Such an underrated movie. The visuals, story, and characters. Everything was just great.

[@muhammadhabibieamiro3639]

I have been waiting for this

[@jacobthompson6644]

It would’ve been more badass is Michael Keaton played as flashpoint Batman (Thomas Wayne)

[@rostikskobkariov5136]

I just noticed... blindwave is a terrible place to comment because unlike newer channels, they never interact. I feel like thats gonna have an affect.

[@Sh23-hv7sn]

It's why the normies are starting to overtake them. Too much anime and not enough interactions outside patreon

[@bidwell13]

27:02 Michael Keaton demanded that the batsuit have limited mobility like the original. They were going to modify it so he could turn his head. One cool thing from behind the scenes Michael Keaton had his son & grandson on set and his grandson is four years old which was the same age his son was the first time he donned the suit. Also Michael Shannon was hesitant about coming back as Zod because of Snyders exit from the franchise but after Snyder told him he should do it he agreed to do it. 46:39 my question is why didn’t he realize that Bruce’s voice was different?

[@dogeyeslin]

I DID NOT hate this movie thats all I gotta say

[@TylerLaramee]

Imagine only having one security camera in a grocery store....

[@caguts]

The original ending that gunn got rid of had Micheal Keaton getting out of the car and then he was joined by Cavill and wonder woman. That was a better end

[@k.delpino1124]

Also Sasha Calle as Kara in street clothes would be there too. My jaw dropped when I heard about that. But nope, we had to get what we got.

[@KommSchonAlter]

It's a real shame that they didn't include reverse flash in the film 🥺that would have been cool, seriously
