>Barry Allen continues to protect Central City as The Flash and joins the Central City Police Department as a forensic analyst in order to reinvestigate the murder of his mother, Nora Allen, for which his father, Henry Allen, was wrongfully imprisoned.
>Barry works alongside Detective Fred Chyre and Detective Jared Morillo, who mistrust him at first, and realizes that he can do as much for people as an investigator as he can as a crimefighter. He focuses on the unlawful murder of a black man, through which he meets humanitarian lawyer Iris West, who is working on the case on behalf of the dead man’s family.
>The main villain is Captain Leonard Snart, a rogue ex-military armed with advanced weaponry stolen from the United States government and harboring a vendetta against his former employees. He is aided by his sister, Lisa Snart.
>Barry recruits his friend Victor Stone, also known as “Cyborg”, to help him uncover Snart’s background and the secret weapons development program from which he acquired his cold gun.
>Barry ultimately defeats Snart, finds justice for the dead man and his family, earns Chyre and Morillo’s trust and develops a relationship with Iris.
>Flashbacks detail Barry’s childhood and the events leading up to Nora’s death, featuring Eobard Thawne, the Reverse Flash, as a nightmarish family observing the family from afar, preparing to attack.
>Famuyiwa’s script was very somber and explored controversial social issues, such as racial profiling and police corruption. It was written back when WB was certain that a darker and edgier to their characters would be successful. When BATMAN V SUPERMAN underperformed, they changed their plans, and ordered Famuyiwa to perform substantial rewrites to tone down the script. They were unable to reach a compromise and Famuyiwa was fired, whereupon the project was retooled into FLASHPOINT.

No and they never will. Give the rights to Disney.

>The movie focus on the wrongful murder of a black dude and a black lawyer fighting for justice, social issues, racial profiling, cops are bad. Also, the Flash is there btw >Gratuitous Cyborg It seems like the director was trying to force a square peg into a round hole here.

Black Panther outgrossed fucking Justice League. Only Disney knows what they’re doing.

and then we got black panther and this might have actually been a good movie

Nathaniel Sanders

Wyatt Diaz
White kids can give money to Disney. They just can’t dress up as Black Panther. That’s literally like blackface.
Carter Edwards
If they make a blockbuster gay or trans superhero movie, this board will drown in the shitposting
Jacob Powell
making "The Flash" movie like this, is exactly the wrong decision WB/DC made way back when, with pic related, all the kids knew Mr Freeze from the cartoons and saw some weird ass depiction of it that was way off.
most people today know Flash from the CW series, they could have easily made something cheaper and better recognized if they cobbled together a CW film adaption for the theatres, added enough special effects to keep the Chinese market happy.
no matter what they do, the Flash movie is going to be trash, because they refuse to learn from previous mistakes, maybe they just want to make movies as a money laundering scheme at this point, i don't anymore.
I actually liked this Mr Freeze i don't think any WB/DC film will have this much charm ever again
Nolan Johnson
Yes but the difference is Disney has plenty of GOOD stuff as well
That list is every WB movie and it's JUST for this year alone
Brody Clark
Weak bait, but I'll bite. It's really not. The character was made by 2 white guys, and originates from a fictional region of Africa. People keep saying they want racism to end, and yet they keep segregating themselves by saying what kid is allowed to like what hero
Jace Russell
Fantastic Beasts is good though
Nathan Russell
That white kid is dressed like a Black Panther the acyivism group, not the superhero.
Easton Diaz
White kids cant dress as black people. Black people aren’t costumes for whites to dress up as. There is no argument here.
Luke Collins
>Yes but the difference is Disney has plenty of GOOD stuff as well Such as?

He's not dressing up as a black person, he's dressing up as a superhero mantle that is used by a black person.

Andrew Wilson

Dominic Howard
This actually looks like a silver age Superman cover.
Lincoln Murphy
White kids cant dress up as black characters either. For one, it’s appropriating/stealing black characters and white-washing them. Which is racist. It’s also just creepy and cringy, like a white weeb dressing up as a ninja.
Kayden Hall

Ethan Cooper

Carson Cruz
Then black kids aren't allowed to dress as Captain America, Thor, or Iron Man. Thanks asshole, you just ruined a kids Halloween with your own hidden racism.
Joshua Fisher
>Barry Allen continues to protect Central City as The Flash and joins the Central City Police Department as a forensic analyst Wait, so how the fuck did Barry get his powers then? Was he legitimately just "struck by lightning" like he said in JL. At least the chemicals gave us some leverage towards him being connected to the speedforce, but now are we supposed to just accept that any old fucker who gets struck by lightning can develop superpowers? >>Barry recruits his friend Victor Stone, also known as “Cyborg”, to help him uncover Snart’s background and the secret weapons development program from which he acquired his cold gun. Why do the have to keep forcing cyborg into roles he's not accustomed to just fro the sake of keeping him there. Can' wait to see him stick some more robotentacles into a computer and deliver an exposition dump, because their no way a character who's traditionally a FORENSIC ANALYST cam figure out something by himself.

That’s different and you know it.
Black Kids dressing up as white characters is punching up.
White kids dressing up as black characters is punching down.
Know the difference.

fuck off pol you astroturfing cunts

Aiden Howard
Cyborg is like DC's Hulk; doomed to be supporting role. Only the difference is Hulk can't get a solo thanks to a rights issue, and Vic doesn't get one because Cyborg has no material to pull from. (You)
Charles Hill
this, this this! we need less black characters and more white characters
we can't sell merchandise with black characters, such a small percentage will only be able to use the products, white characters are loved by all, while not everyone is allowed to love black characters.
it's a win having only white characters, and a loss having black ones, i agree 100% with this user.
Ryder White
You can let your white kid buy Black Panther merchandise. Just don’t dress him up as a black person. Is that so hard to do?
Ethan Rodriguez
I wished WB/DC weren't such clods and had done all this other garbage before a Teen Titans project, why even put Cyborg in the awful Justice Leauge movie, now they can't use him anymore.
Lucas Wright
Kids don't see race, unlike your racist ass
Josiah Hughes
Ok, I'll dress him like White Tiger then. Fuck panthers anyway.
Aiden Miller
White Tiger is black, user.
Asher Richardson
Black Panther, Infinity War, Ant Man and Wasp, Wreck it Ralph 2, Incredibles 2 and yeah probably Solo. A Wrinkle in Time, and Mary Poppins Returns too
Hunter Ward
But nobody will notice because the character is white, they're too busy with Black Panther to care
Chase Sullivan
no, you can't. if you have your kid buy BP merchandise and sully it in any way, it's disrespecting black people. (BP) it's not worth risking, and what if their friends come over and see that they have BP toys? they might get offended, no.
we better play it safe user, you are correct in your first post
Alexander White
Teaching kids to dress up like black people/characters is a bad idea. It normalizes blackface.
Lincoln Torres
We talking about the Marvel, female character, or the Dexter's Lab/Justice Friends White Tiger?
Joseph Walker
Still racist.
Aiden Cruz
Marvel
Daniel Hernandez
Who cares, the world's going to shit either way
Leo Thomas
The Dexter's Lab White Tiger is more fun though
Joshua Wilson
You should try being less racist, user. Y’know, make yourself a better person. Like Black Panther or Captain America.
Nathan Mitchell
the difference here is, if you're black your kid can purchase CA merchandise, talk about Captain America, dress up like captain america and do all things surrounding it
if you have a white child, BP is a no-go
if i were Marvel, i would limit the amount of Black Characters as much as possible
Joshua Sanders
I think Marvel should increase the number of black characters. Replace all the Avengers with black superheroes and make Black Panther the leader.
Lincoln Perry

They're apparently borrowing elements from Jay Garrick's origin: He was struck by lightning while in a college lab.

DCEU Barry is a novice and only got his gig due to nepotism, though.
