The Flash Season 7: Jay Garrick Will Return

New DVD release, , ,
Last year’s Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover redefined the boundaries of the Arrowverse. The DC multiverse as it was known was destroyed and then reborn during the massive conclusion. We witnessed the deaths of a number of those universes directly (by weird Earth-2 where most dopplegangers were slightly evil versions of our heroes) and some of them were directly reborn/replaced (DC’s JSA-focused Stargirl TV series takes place on a new Earth-2), others such as Earth-38 (home of Supergirl) and the unnamed Earth where the first three seasons of Black Lightning took place, were folded into the new Earth-Prime, which is…

The Flash: The Secret Origin of the Original TV Series

New DVD release, , , ,
A flash of lightning. An iconic red and gold costume. Weird sci-fi villains and blockbuster special effects. We could only be talking about the beloved The Flash TV series, right? Ah, but this isn’t Grant Gustin and Team Flash from the CW’s The Flash. No, this is The Flash TV series from 1990, the one starring John Wesley Shipp and boasting a theme song by none other than superhero movie maestro Danny Elfman. The Flash was an expensive gamble for CBS and ultimately only lasted one season, but its legacy lives on and it remains an important part of superhero…

Ben Affleck Gave Notes on The Flash Movie Script Before Agreeing to Return as Batman

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The internet exploded yesterday with the news that Ben Affleck would return to his role as the DCEU Batman for The Flash movie, his first time in the Dark Knight’s cape and cowl since 2016’s Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and 2017’s ill-fated Justice League. Affleck at one point had been expected to direct, co-write, and star in a Batman solo movie of his own, but eventually left the project amid continued creative reshufflings and his own personal commitments. Most DCEU fans expected that they wouldn’t get a chance to see Affleck in the Batman costume again. But all…

Ben Affleck Returns as Batman for The Flash Movie

New DVD release, , , ,
Well, anything is possible in the DCEU now. Whether it’s Zack Snyder finally getting to complete his legendary (or infamous) “Snyder Cut” of Justice League, or Ezra Miller showing up in full Flash costume for a cameo in TV’s Crisis on Infinite Earths, it seems that the walls that divide the various divisions of DC Entertainment are less stable than they were in the past. But nothing is perhaps more momentous than Ben Affleck returning to Batman, a role which he played in two movies and then left before he could appear in a solo film. Affleck will return to…

The Flash Movie Will Unify DC Multiverse

New DVD release, , ,
The Flash movie was always going to be about much more than a guy who just runs fast. Long expected to be based on the Flashpoint comics story by Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert, where Barry Allen inadvertently opens up an alternate reality after preventing the murder of his mother in the past, there has always been the expectation that we would see different versions of beloved and recognizable DC characters. Andy Muschietti’s The Flash movie looks like it won’t disappoint in that regard. Between the bombshell revelation that Ben Affleck would return to the role of Batman for the…

The Flash Movie Script Grant Morrison Wrote Had a Back to the Future Vibe

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Grant Morrison has been chatting about his time working on The Flash movie with its still-attached star, Ezra Miller. The two united to pen their own script for the Scarlet Speedster solo project back in the early months of 2019 after “a clash of creative visions” with the film’s previous directing team, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein of Spider-Man: Homecoming. Morrison opened up about his attempt at writing The Flash in a new interview with Collider while promoting his new Peacock series Brave New World. “Ezra Miller and I wrote that [script] last year,” he said. “I thought we…

How Flash Gordon Caught Lightning in a Bottle

New DVD release, , , ,
Flash Gordon still stands alone in the pantheon of comic book movies 40 years on. Colorful, vibrant, kinky, and often absurd, Mike Hodges’ gaudy tale of an all-American boy defeating a powerful villain from space and saving the Earth in the process had until recently felt far removed from the predominantly safe and CG-heavy comic book fare of the last few decades, despite its familiar themes and due in large part to its distinct refusal to take itself seriously. But the film we know and love is a world away from how it began. Back in the 1970s, wealthy businessman…

Flashpoint: Which Batman is Michael Keaton Playing in The Flash Movie?

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The announcement that Michael Keaton would be joining the upcoming Flash movie was met with great shock. Keaton walked away from Batman ahead of Joel Schumacher’s Batman Forever (“[The film] just wasn’t any good, man,”), turning him into “The guy who used to be Batman” for years as he struggled to get away from his superhero shadow. That changed with Birdman, when his character seemed like a metacommentary on his own career, and with Spider-Man: Homecoming, when he returned to cape movies as the villainous Vulture, but by then, Keaton’s version was multiple Batmen in the past.  And then he…

The Flash Movie: What Does Flashpoint Mean for the DCEU?

New DVD release, ,
Despite a parade of directors, writers, rumors, and release dates, The Flash movie is still coming to the DCEU. With a script by Christina Hodson (Birds of Prey) and directed by Andy Muschietti (WB’s two-part horror epic IT), the DCEU Flash movie will be loosely inspired by Flashpoint, a DC Comics story that remains a major touchstone in the life of Barry Allen. For those who don’t know, Flashpoint was a 2011 comic from Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert which saw Barry Allen travel back in time to prevent Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash, from murdering Barry’s mother. As a result,…

Michael Keaton Could Reprise Batman Role in Flash Movie and Other DC Films

New DVD release, , , , , ,
He may never play Birdman again, but new reports from THR and The Wrap claim that Michael Keaton may be set to reprise his role as Batman. Both outlets report that Keaton is in early talks to return as an older version of the hero in Warner Bros’ upcoming Flash movie and that the deal could extend to other DC films. Keaton last donned the cape and cowl in 1993’s Batman Returns and has since appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Spider-Man villain The Vulture. According to THR, if all goes as planned, Keaton could be set to fill…

The Flash Movie Release Date Changes Again

New DVD release, , , ,
We’ll believe the DCEU The Flash movie is happening when we’re seated in the theater, munching popcorn, and Ezra Miller speeds across the screen. To say that The Flash has had a troubled journey to the big screen might be a little generous. However, with the director of It Chapter One and Two at the helm in Andy Muschietti, and Birds of Prey screenwriter Christina Hodson on board, things are looking a little brighter for the big screen Scarlet Speedster have in a while. Warner Bros. insists that this movie will happen someday, and they’re so confident in that fact…
