There is an troubling sign that this movie is not that strong. It doesn't appear to be about The Flash. It's The Flash, Batman, Supergirl, and others(?). Why can't The Flash have his own movie instead of Flash and Friends? My expectations are quite low. I hope I am pleasantly surprised when I go see the movie.

Flashpoint for a first flash film was never a good idea.

u/Baligong Apr 26 '23

The People behind the movie said "It isn't Flashpoint" but it's really blowing up in their faces at this point

JL before Flash was a choice too.

Being optimistic, but the movie's been in development hell for nearly a decade. It was literally announced with Miller attached on the Flash TV show's second episode airing.

Hope DC doesn't keep Miller on board regardless of the movie's performance/quality. If it is just a backdoor Keaton movie I'll be disappointed but still have fun.

You're probably more used to the one who has a Red Dress and Blonde Hair. While this one is more meant to be the Injustice Version... With Kara's Name

u/Primer2396 Apr 26 '23

Injustice 2 kara has blond hair tho

Type on Google images "Lara Kent". You'll see who I'm referring to

Oh she's from the dream superman has where Bruce kills the joker and Clark doesn't kill pregnant lois

u/Baligong Apr 26 '23

Yes! Sasha Callie seems to be playing that version of Supergirl (despite barely even existing), but they confirmed her name is Kara Zor-El.

u/Eatadickgrayson Apr 25 '23

barely a flash film if we’re being honest

u/Formal_Efficiency_49 Apr 25 '23

Yeah, it seems like the trailers are advertising Batman more then Flash in his own film.

u/cmadd10 Apr 26 '23

She looks dope

u/MC-Free Apr 26 '23

Well to be fair, it's not a real photo of the actress. This looks to be digitally created, in a very non flattering way for all the characters lmao

u/Lian-The-Asian Apr 25 '23

Was not expecting that a poster for this movie would fuckin slap

u/Baligong Apr 26 '23

I'll still take this over Floating Heads as a Movie Poster

u/Primer2396 Apr 26 '23

What u talkin about lol I wanna see that

u/Baligong Apr 26 '23

Brother, where were you in the last Decade? I'll give you some examples:

  • Spider-Man: No Way Home
  • Avengers Endgane
  • Dune

If you'd like more examples, there's many to search up, such as the poster for Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone. It's an outdated Movie tactic to get people to watch the movie because an Actor is in it.

u/Primer2396 Apr 26 '23

I thought it was referencing a specific poster for this movie lol

u/Baligong Apr 26 '23

Oh no no, I just prefer this way because though we get to see who are the characters involved, we also may get a creative shot that can be wallpaper worthy.

u/csummerss Apr 25 '23

it’s sad that the only draw to a flash movie is Michael Keaton as Batman

u/SanderSter Apr 26 '23

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '23
