The Flash is a big, ambitious movie. The latest addition to Hollywood’s growing list of multiversal blockbusters, it’s a film that introduces versions of DC characters that audiences have never seen before (Sasha Calle’s Supergirl) and gives actors like Michael Keaton and Michael Shannon a chance to reprise their past roles as Batman and General Zod, respectively. On top of that, The Flash also packs in not just one, but two variants of Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) himself, and confronts a portion of his tragic origin story head-on.
