New Flash suit looks pretty good. Although the mask looks a bit too much like a helmet in a couple shots, kinda clunky.
I'm still a bit perplexed as to why WB is simultaneously pushing the whole "Multiverse" concept so hard across all their media, while at the exact same time they only commissioned this movie, supposedly, for the main purpose of wiping out the recent DC movies that weren't Wonder Woman and Aquaman. Kind of seems to run contrary. "We have a Multiverse now, so everything is canon... except for the stuff we're specifically pouring concrete over." Makes them look even more silly since most people actually liked Snyder's Justice League and lots of them would actually like to see that version of the DCU continue in some form, now. Except they'd already started this project before that, so they're committed to needlessly erasing a timeline that many people now wouldn't mind seeing further explored.
WB's general incompetence and "last person they talked to" method of decision-making makes it nearly impossible for me to ever get emotionally invested in any of their projects ever again, quite frankly. I'll see this one and it might even be decent, even though it's still not at all what the first-ever Flash movie should be. But knowing how bad they are at commitment and follow-through just makes it really, really hard for me to look at any of their projects with any reaction but "Eh."
Movie might be good, might be crap. The only thing you know for sure is that if enough people make snarky memes about it, they'll say it never happened/doesn't count. And that if people like it... they'll wait too long to make a sequel or follow-up, and by the time it comes out nobody will care.
