The Flash is one of DC Comics’ premiere heroes, with the Scarlet Speedster being a mainstay in the Justice League. He’s also the star of a recent live-action movie, though said film was notorious for several reasons. Sadly, it appears that the negative connotations thrown toward the movie aren’t exclusive to it, with the Fastest Man Alive seemingly struggling across the board.The reception toward the movie as a whole was lukewarm at best, with the comic books — both new and old — also being in a state of flux. That’s without even getting the live-action Flash TV series on The CW, which had been increasingly criticized long before it finished its run. This has given the hero an all-around barrage of whammies, which is something that James Gunn must circumvent in the upcoming DC Universe reboot.The Flash was one of the first “upcoming” DC Extended Universe projects announced after the release of 2013’s Man of Steel. The movie was also heavily delayed, going through several directors and released in theaters a little while after the live-action TV show aired its last episode. Beforehand, the movie was hyped up as a game-changer in superhero cinema, which was definitely welcomed given the recent stagnation of the genre. Of course, this was all compounded by the controversial actions of the movie’s star, Ezra Miller, putting a massive damper on it. Conversely, some fans took issue with the movie adapting the Flashpoint storyline without ever establishing the hero’s place as a solo hero in the DCEU. Conversely, the obvious attempts to use nostalgia in order to sell the movie weren’t enough to save it, with Michael Keaton’s version of Batman failing to attract moviegoers.RELATED: The Flash’s Max Debut Was Almost a Record Low for a DC Title
