🎥 The Flash: Ezra Miller stars in this messy compilation of superhero plots and characters | ✍️ Jack Riedy
Racing into theaters after years of development hell, corporate shuffling, and other bad publicity,feels less like a feature film than a splashy event comic miniseries: It’s an editorially mandated story reverse engineered from bits of spectacle by an inconsistent creative team.
True to comics decades-deep in continuity, the film sprints through a remarkable number of sci-fi plot devices with little time for internal logic or emotional progression: phasing through walls, time paradoxes, alien invasions, four different Batmen. Michael Keaton’s return to the cowl drops the kinky, barely repressed mania of the Burton films in favor of incongruously badass hand-to-hand combat and a heroic death on a desert battlefield.
