DC/WB Confirm ''The Flash: Flashpoint'' Movie

So... they're gonna make the movie copy the crummy CW mini-series and cram the entire concept into two hours before we've even really "met" or seen much of this Flash? Ohhhh-kay, that's certainly one thing they can do.

As usual, I feel like DC/WB is overreaching. We don't even know who "Movie Flash" really IS, yet - we haven't seen his origins on-screen, we know almost nothing about him as a person and if they have to recast Ezra Miller then that's even more cans of worms. I know they're in a rush to "soft reboot" everything, but I feel like it's a waste to cram ALL of that into the Very First Flash Movie, when that should entirely be about Barry, who he is, how he got his powers, how they work, etc. Keep in mind, this character's never even had ONE movie to himself, and now he's gonna be a "guest star" in his own flick while we revisit a bunch of stuff from older DC movies and TV shows just for the sake of 'Member Berries? Dumb.

Keaton would be a great cameo and I don't even hate the idea of this Multiverse exploration, but it's too much for the FIRST Flash movie, is all. Second one, or, preferably, the third one? Fine. More than fine. This is Too Soon to be going so "big", is all. Cavill's Superman had his own movie before they added Guest Stars. Wonder Woman's solo movie wasn't crammed with cameos. Aquaman, same thing. Let the Flash movie JUST be about The Flash before we relegate him to Supporting Cast, y'know?

Ideally, I'd have the first Flash movie be the origin and maybe have Zoom, but even that might be best saved until later. Plant seeds for the Rogues, maybe have some of the Generic Bad Guys he stops when he first gets his powers turn vengeful, get gimmicks and form a pact in the Mid-Credits scene. Second movie would be Rise of the Rogues. Third movie could be all the time travel/Multiverse stuff.

I'unno. I'm not against the idea, just the incredibly rushed and transparently desperate execution. But hey... WB. "Incredibly Rushed and Transparently Desperate" is literally ALL they know how to do.

A Keaton cameo would be a hell of a get, though. Just... geez, wait five f*cking minutes before jumping into the Time Travel/Parallel worlds stuff. Just because they did it on TV last year - poorly - doesn't mean we need to jump there in the movies with no set-up or context. Geez.
