          I agree there. Despite being a horrible person off screen, Ezra Miller can actually act with good material, We Need to Talk About Kevin, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower are proof of that.

          I think as you alluded to, the bigger problem was that Snyder’s take on Barry Allen was ill-conceived from the beginning. Ezra may have been a good fit for Snyder’s vision for the character but his vision was Barry Allen in name only.

          I find it very amusing that the CW managed to do the character so much better for nine years and with a fraction of the resources.

      Because time travel, along with super speed, is over powered as hell.

      There is not a single bad guy that can defeat it, unkess they too have the same set of abilities, which again, is over powered as hell.

    I actually liked this film. It was not art but it was fun. Miller despite being an alleged groomer:kidnapper managed to act really well against himself for the movie. It felt like 3 different characters acting against each other.

    Very very flimsy and cheesy plot that was similar to the majority of comics I read as a kid. The kind that made the .25 bin

      I enjoyed it enough watching it off a streaming service. The CGI was pretty bad, so much so at one point I thought that was intentional. I really liked Michael Keaton as Batman again. Keaton is a great actor in his own right.

      If I had paid for a ticket at a movie theater, I would have been unhappy with it, but for streaming it was fine.

        That cgi was something else. A lot of chi gets by on rapid fire cuts. Because this was about slowing time and showing effects for longer it really stood out. Better cgi wasn’t going to save the film .

        I could see this becoming a cult following if it wasn’t for millers off screen shitshow.

    The movie actually decreased Batman’s coolness level.

    In the original ‘Flashpoint’ comic young Bruce Wayne was the one killed in the alley that night. His father Thomas, a noted surgeon, decided to become the Caped Crusader. Mrs. Wayne lost her mind and became the Joker. Thomas didn’t have years to train, so he used a dangerous, addictive version of the super soldier serum he got from a disgraced hero named Hour Man [because he was only strong for an hour][ yes, it’s really stupid to let your enemies know your biggest weakness, but c’mon, it was created in the 1940s and the guy was an addict…]

    In the comics, Batman was much more violent than we are used to.
