Zack Snyder's Justice League: Why That CREEPY Flash Scene Deserved to Be Cut. Zack Snyder's Justice League proves that one scene focused on Ezra Miller's Flash should have remained on the cutting room floor.

One of the biggest edits the theatrical cut of Justice League made was omitting Kiersey Clemons' Iris West. Fans were excited to see her cameo as it was undoubtedly a setup for Ezra Miller's Flash movie, but it was deemed expendable in the two-hour run-time.

However, after being inserted into Zack Snyder's Justice League, a creepy scene with Iris plays out, making it clear that axing it was the right choice.

Adding some depth to Barry Allen isn't the problem. Snyder spends most of his movie making Flash more likable, but in this scene, he comes off as toxic, and it really doesn't paint the speedster in the most altruistic light. The moment focuses on him applying for a job at a doggy day-care, locking eyes with Iris as she leaves. It's melodramatic and romantic, similar to what's been done on The CW, but it begins to go wrong when she drives off. The scene's set in slow motion, with her not taking her eyes off Barry, which is strange because her car's in motion. At the lights, she's t-boned by a truck, whose driver was trying to find his burger that fell on the floor in what's a really ridiculous set of unfortunate events.

As Iris' car flips and she's tossed out, Barry speeds through the glass, but rather than grab her mid-air immediately, he grabs a hot dog from a cart that was thrown in the air and uses the Speed Force for some stalking. He fawns over Iris for a long moment, even brushing her hair out her face. This goes on for way too long, and in the end, is a total invasion of privacy. Snyder tries to lighten the mood by setting it to Rose Betts' piano cover of "Song to the Siren," but even that can't mask the toxicity.

Barry eventually sets her down before running away as her vehicle explodes, but while the intention is to show him saving a damsel in distress, it really depicts him as a creep. Of course, Snyder did cut the horrific shot of Barry falling into Wonder Woman's chest when they suit up later on, but it doesn't help that Barry goes on to ogle Diana and ask Cyborg if he thinks she dates younger guys.

When taking all of this into consideration, Barry comes out looking like someone who doesn't respect boundaries. Had the car scene remained cut, one might have given Barry the benefit of the doubt as an overzealous Wonder Woman fanboy with a crush. But ultimately, rather than giving off the impression of a genuine, caring hero, the car sequence makes Barry out to be someone that needs to learn a thing or two about respect.

Streaming now on HBO Max, Zack Snyder's Justice League stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Ray Porter as Darkseid, Ciarán Hinds as Steppenwolf, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon.

They cut THIS SCENE from the theatrical cut for stupid jokes about brunch?! This is one of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen.

[braedynhoward]

I love how they show the power of his superspeed as he absolutely destroys objects he touches. Something the TV show just can't do as well. I also love how much control he has of his superspeed. This and the quicksilver scene in apocalypse are 2 of my favorite scenes.

[cloudshifter]

Dude when we saw that scene we looked at each other and said, "How on Earth did they cut this scene out of the original movie?"

[aidanadkins]

Based on how he reacted, I'm guessing Barry was so distracted by Iris that he left the Speed Force by accident, then he panics and runs when he realizes she can see him.

0:30 the amount of torque that Barry put into the shoes literally made them explode bc of how fast he was going I like that small detail

[peaceunion]

Barry wasn't being toxic. He was mesmerized by her beauty. And he was being careful with her. Sorry i think this scene is artistically brilliant.

[franciscoademirassis]

The Flash simply crosses the barrier of time and a single second can save and admire the girl, something that maybe in a casual encounter he would not do due to his shyness ...

[TheFro]

Great scene. Nothing creepy about it. Flash has all the time in the world to save Iris. That’s the point. While Barry is in this super speed world he is alone, safe, alienated. A car crash to him, while grotesque to us, can become a beautiful snapshot. And Barry, being a bit of a weird loner, he plays in this moment of isolation but still saves the day. Beautiful

[mattyorsomthing]

Why tf is nobody talking about when he picked up the hotdog 😂

[yasirahmed]

I can't help but feel Zack has his daughter in mind while directing this masterpiece. The amount of care and gentleness Barry shows Iris here could be the same as a father would towards his little princess. RIP

[geovanihernandez]

This is honestly the most beautiful scene I've ever seen. I don't understand why people aren't talking about it.

[Roseyyy]

now THIS is one of the most romantic scenes I have witnessed. I want more now and I’m invested in their relationship.

[cookiemonster]

What really took me here is how gentle Barry was with Iris.
He could have rushed and worried to get her out of the car but instead he very carefully folded her arms over so she’d be safe and secure once he left the Speed Force.
Plus the fact that he seems most at peace while moving fast as well.

"You know what would really rock, cutting this *entire* scene.."

I disagree. I liked the scene. Do not try to make clear dislike for Ezra into a critique of the movie. The truth is evident. I thought it was a revealing scene that showed Barry was lonely and a hero.

[seriousspaghetti]

barry acts like this cause he clearly is shy and the speedforce is the only place he can be himself, love this scene and the care he uses to save iris taking his time

[Jalebi_waala]

When i first saw this scene, i was cutting onions.

[Jwingmann]

Whats so amazing about this scene is how gentle barry is with her. I love that detail of how the slightest touch could kill her instantly if he isnt extremely delicate. Hands down the most breathtaking scene besides flash saving everyone

Two things that made the scene works so well besides the incredibly angelic iris floating in the air like that. First the physical reaction of Barry's footwear as he moves too quickly for the sneakers to keep up. And second was that homage to his silver age origin; a waitress dropped a hotdog and fries and he could see them moving in slow motion, slow enough for him to just take the food and put everything back in the way it was before she tripped. I also like how he has to be careful with Iris when he's maneuvering her into a position where he can catch her and cradle her to the asphalt unharmed. At the speed he's traveling, even the slightest touch of her body can make it move in a certain direction. The fact that he broke the ground by just sliding to stop shows how much power his velocity contains with just a minor sprint out the door. Brilliant job by both actors and by the VFX. This makes Ezra Miller's Barry Allen more competent and less of the forced comic relief he was in the Whedon cut.
