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

[Coola Yagami]

I honestly thought it would be middle of the road. Like not a huge smash hit, but not this bad either. Mostly due to Keaton being back as Batman. Like if it made higher than average numbers, it would have been due to Keaton, not Ezra, and def not NotSuperGirl.

I know everyone is quick to go 'go woke, get broke' over these things, but it's never 100%. I was expecting this to be a case where one side laughs and says 'go woke, get broke' and then the other side laughs back cause this movie in particular made bank.

Well... I don't really know that this movie was "woke". Of course you had hispanic-mom for the Flash I suppose. The closest woke $#!( in this flick was "emo non-white body-positivity Supergirl" who is.... not hot at all.

The new narrative will be that they will push her into a movie as this breakaway "star". But that narrative will only go so far so as to stop before delivery of said awful movie, or if it does get made it will flop. For a myriad of reasons including woke $#!( Supergirl who "rage screams" like a college campus gender-identifier everytime she uses her powers. She was a good actress though! I'd be happy to see her in.... anything else where her casting doesn't violate white people.

Flash wasn't a bad flick. It was just unrealized hype with awful VFX.

Yeah, I wouldn't say that either. Just a couple of minor things and maybe yeah, the motivation behind changing up Supergirl, which is undoubtedly coming from the same kind of people that think "Batman is a fascist!" is a good inclusion to a DC movie.

Totally needless.

The closest woke $#!( in this flick was "emo non-white body-positivity Supergirl" who is.... not hot at all.

I dunno, man, I say you're way off on that. And I have a eye for Colombian women.

Here she is in a different context, 3 years ago:

I very much disagree with your last point. I'd strand my ship in her Phantom Zone any day.

I honestly wasn't all that interested in going, but last week when I saw on VUDU that if I brought a classic DC film I could use an $8 discount toward a movie ticket. So, since I didn't have a digital copy of the legendary classic 1978 film Superman, I bought it and used that discount. I also wanted to see what is most likely Ben Affleck's swan song as Batman if he doesn't return in the Aquaman sequel. A lot of people also said that Michael Keaton made a triumphant return in this movie. Well, I can say that Keaton certainly does steal the show whenever he is on screen. However, I wasn't really all that impressed with the film. The plot is:

Spoiler:

so similar to the season 2 finale and season 3 premiere of the CW series. I know the show is very popular, but they still could've done something different than that.

Also, Sasha Calle wasn't really given the chance to shine as Supergirl.

It‘s only day 6 and it‘s already fallen behind both Spider-Man and Elementals in daily grosses. A seventy per cent drop in its second weekend seems likely. This is going to be an epic massacre.

As long as it all falls squarely on the shoulders of Ezra and, peripherally, the dumping of the last DCEU, I'm good with it.

I guess it's time to lay back and see what the Gunn-verse will do. I think if he's truly left to his own devices we might get... eh, something that's consistent and worth watching. But the obvious fear is he releases the first two or three projects, they don't make what WB wanted to see them making, and he's fired and here we go again in flux.

I mean, the slate does look weird but also like they‘re trying to do something different. Their Brave and the Bold film seems to be adapting the Batman and Son comics which sounds way more interesting than the Reeves‘ Batman stuff.

She is definitely better off going the route of her looks in that video you embedded than "emo body positivity Supergirl" that the studio wrapped her in. One way or the other she looked as ridiculous in the suit as Alicia Silverstone looked as "Fatgirl" in the Clooney Batman flick.

And yeah, there are definitely a lot of over the top attractive Columbian women. So maybe it's more accurate to say that the Flash movie didn't do that girl's look any favors.

That's okay, man. We still have Teyonah Parris. We will always have "Paris", Chosen.

That Photon actress is gorgeous and was great in "WandaVision" but there's literally nothing that could get me to pay to see Craptain Marvel 2.

Who said anything about paying? Hoist the colors! Savvy?

I admit, when they showed her from behind in the suit she wore at the end... I had no idea!

[Andrew NDB]

Shesus, it's tracking for a 75% drop in its second weekend! That's even worse than the 66% second weekend drop in Green Lantern

I mean - compared to some of the other social nonsense from actors I can't believe that this is the movie that has been hit so hard. All things considered it's not the kind of "bad movie" that warrants this.

But honestly? Miller's weird liberal behavior pissed everyone off, combined with a generally disinterested because these characters are sort of the walking dead right now anyway.

Without all of that this would be inexplicable because this movie isn't even remotely as weak as Green Lantern was with Ryan "Kyle errr... Hal" Reynolds. Although I still think the Director is lying through his teeth to cover up the horribly delivered VFX in this flick. It's more like this movie was in limbo for so long that they didn't finish it and just sent it to theaters.

Anybody think if they found a way to put Batman’s name in the film title it would automatically make $100 million more globally on branding alone?

I feel bad for the Blue Beetle movie…

No this was doomed to fail as soon as they kept a pedophile as the title character. Only like minded individuals would pay to see this.

So between the Flash x2, Supergirl, and an out-of-retirement Batman (plus questionable to adversarial military support), did the heroes manage to take out more than one member of the Kryptonian army?

[Coola Yagami]

Was Faora in it somewhere? It's been so long, I forgot how she died in Man of Steel.

[Andrew NDB]

She blew up in a ship and got sucked back into the Phantom Zone, so presumably survived. Yeah, she was in Flash and was credited. Though I suspect they just did some CGI face replacement to include her in this because she didn't have any lines or anything.
