Subsequent Friday on August 25, The Flash will hit Warner Bros.’ semi-premier streaming service. Saying it’s had an eventful lifetime would in all probability be underselling issues. Regardless of what had been initially glowing social media impressions and pretty solid reviews, the film simply couldn’t discover an viewers—and whereas the rising listing of lead actor Ezra Miller’s pre-release controversies (and WB’s subsequent alternative to easily not talk about any of it) undoubtedly performed a hand in that, that solely tells a number of the story. Not lengthy after its launch, it didn’t lengthy for people to get slices of The Flash on Twitter, and the scenes that had been usually launched and shared round didn’t paint the film in a very flattering mild.

Was Warner Bros. proper to bet pretty much everything on Miller and the return of Michael Keaton’s Batman? Or was this simply a mean superhero film—presumably even a secretly good one?—that simply couldn’t get out of its personal manner and was mainly doomed from the bounce? That’ll be up for y’all to determine. No less than till it will get yanked from the service in about six months as a result of Warner Bros. wants to save lots of about $20.
