What a difference a few months makes. Talk as recently as September was that Andy Muschietti’s The Flash might be scrapped due to the legal and reputational difficulties faced by star Ezra Miller. Flash forward to the present day, and it is being called one of the greatest superhero movies of all time following a screening for press and cinema owners at Las Vegas’ CinemaCon this week.
Let’s just put that into perspective. According to the assembled geekerati (who have only been given permission to tweet at this time), this is a movie that might just be up there with The Dark Knight, the original Superman, Black Panther, Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. And it’s made not by all-conquering Marvel but Warner Bros-owned DC.
