Please Note: Barry moved a tomato sauce can so that his father would clearly look up at a surveillance camera, but didn’t actually reposition the camera itself. Sorry about that!

Young Barry turning into Dark Flash after failing multiple attempts of saving Batman and Supergirl remind me of Doctor Strange turning into Sinister Strange in What If? After trying countless times to save Christine Palmer

[redviper]

Nicolas Cage cameo was spoiled for me but not George Clooney’s. That was quite a curveball! 🤣

[RobinDale]

*Spoilers*

What I got from the ending is, Barry is now in a pocket universe separate from the original. Because he went back at the end and changed the tomato cans for his dad, he still changed things and remember what BatKeaton said: the effects ripple forward AND backward, because time is not linear, so changes essentially radiate out from the intersect of the point of change.

[BeenUceSince]

Soooo Flash and Miles both learning the same lesson in their new movies and almost similar endings? Can’t save everyone and both ended up in an alternate universe

I'm surprised they didn't have the surprise Bruce Wayne be Pattinson instead. And I hope WB brings back Sasha Calle as a dark-haired Supergirl. They could even bring her back as the daughter of Kal El and Wonder Woman from Dark Knight 2.

[yudhazacharias]

I love that this movie acknowledges the Snyder Cut. You can see a cameo of Aquaman pointing at Barry when they fight Superman. And also the fact that Barry cannot speed away civilians. Screw you, Josstice League

[josephyu]

Thanks for this. Financial problems prevent me from seeing the movie, but at least I can watch your breakdown. However, there seems to be one very important question the film does not address: Who killed Barry’s mother?

[luisito]

I just rented this the other day and I really liked it, Barry was such a great character and actor I really believed I was looking at 2 different versions of him at the same time, awesome job!!

[ardiprawiro]

Barry still changed everything because he moved a tomato sauce can to save his dad. That's why he got George Clooney as Bruce Wayne/Batman. The Post-Credit scene with Aquaman means that 'this timeline' (where Barry frees his dad) can possibly have a superhero with the same face and/or the same name as Prime Barry's timeline.

[double_courage]

Supergirl was kickass! Looking forward to see her again.

[xjp]

Ah, but you only did Supermen. You forgot Helen Slater's Supergirl flying in with Christopher Reaves. You also did not mention Adam West as well. I would like to see them do the Nicolas Cage Superman. That spider looked fantastic, and that fight was great.

[isaiahallen]

Was anybody else crying at the end with the mom? Cause I did. Damn it was such a good movie. 😢👏👏👏

[theunknown]

To be honest, I was expecting this to be so bad but it wasn't its an 8 for me cgi can be wonky at times but its not the worst.

[daudkhan]

The Dark Knight is the best movie of all time they don't make movies like this anymore where superpower doesn't play a major role Christopher Nolan Trilogy was a masterpiece

[robg]

If he would have made it back "home" it would have opened an opportunity to look for Kara in his universe bringing Supergirl in for future justice league.

[RockRebelfull]

I really wish they ended like the DC animated movies. Barry runs through time to save the multiverse, which leads to James Gunns DC universe.

[samcorcoran]

Just re-watched the cool parts. It looks like George Clooney as Batman is the consequence of his Father not going to jail. That is a tough call for me.

[Nicksammys]

So is super girl and Keaton Batman stay dead or does that timeline get erased because Barrie decided to let his mom die at the end anyway ?

[Scatter_Brained]

I feel like this movies logic falls in on itself. It says time is not linear so dark Barry killing young Barry shouldn’t have affected him. Also young Barry sacrificing himself shows a level of growth dark Barry never got so at that point they are no longer the same person.
