...ruining the chances people will believe them going further. This was a cameo, fan service movie that should have gone with that, but instead didn't deliver enough cameo's or fan service! The DCEU has an entire series based on a group of heroes going around fixing time disturbances. Here was an opportunity to have a bunch of celebs at least cameo as that group of characters trying to stop the FLASH. The movie actually had too much Ezra Miller in it! He plays three characters! Barry losing his powers and then having to regain them? You take all that out, we save an hour and did anybody even for a second believe he wasn't going to get them back? That entire LONG lost powers plot was there as filler! The speed scenes are not as cute as they thought they were. Marvel did it better, earlier. There were no rules. The last scene made no sense. He didn't travel far enough back in time to alter Batman's actor identity, if we're assuming he's back in his own universe reality and not somehow stuck in the one where hero costumes have nipples? Altering the position of groceries didn't do that. We had 3 superior speed heroes fighting slower evil Kryptonians, and we learn they can easily be killed with Kryptonian metal? Yet Zod and the gang did all the killing? For a movie trying so hard, they failed miserably. If all that wasn't bad enough, the CGI was at sometimes, early 2000's level. You would think Batman or Alfred would have suggested his new suit contain a nutrient feeder system, instead of just a cool glucose monitor? It's like building tech , that's basically worthless?
