I watched Flash, because somehow I thought it was already the DCEU Reboot. It was shit. Ezra Miller is so annoying in it (and, hearing the stories, everywhere esse in life...). The batman scenes were the only fun parts in that movie.

In the original comic, the Flash meets Dr. Thomas Wayne. Bruce was killed in the alley, and the father becomes Batman. He builds a casino to get access to the underworld and uses Hourman's super soldier formula in place of actually training. I was hoping for that story, not just "exactly the same person, but looks completely different."

Spoilers for "Flashpoint" comic

I thought it was only Bruce that got killed in the alley, and Martha became Joker?

I stand corrected.

Yeah so I watched the flash and...surprisingly after the intro scene I...didnt hate it?

I know the main actor has become a meme IRL but his character was the same as the few shows i caught on tv...so....on point?

I don't know, I'm actually in the mind set that the other DCU fils were such piles of steaming bloody shitfarts to suffer through this one was mildly more enjoyable. Like, having stomach cramps vs being kicked in the balls.

I somehow thought it was already a James Gun movie and expected something like The Suicide Squad - which was one of the best DCEU movies, imho

Oh yeah, that was good! I keep forgetting it was DC, lol
