The Flash

** SPOILER ALERT **

There are too many Batmen. There are also too many Spider-people and too many Super-men and too many Jokers. The multiverse is getting full. The Flash has to interact with a variety of these doppelgängers and has double duty, since he has one of his own. Efforts to make this an emotional story are noble and welcome. Who wouldn’t want to go back in time and re-do some things? Ezra Miller is working double-time, literally, to suit the plot and serve the various JLA Batmen. It’s a lot. Not to mention the falling babies, of which there are many, and they all look really fake. I’m not sure if filmmakers used video game animation to save money or to dial-down the realism and cushion the blow during the funny but fake looking homage to Eisenstein, because the dog looked pretty real. The babies look like newborn residents of the uncanny valley, as do the various pseudo/meta characters in the quantum realm. Did they run out of time? Did they run out of money? Was DC/WB worried that serial assaulter and kidnapper Ezra Miller couldn’t carry a movie? Nevertheless, a lot of this was enjoyable, but mostly as fan service and stunt-casting cameos. Lots of nerd alert-Easter Eggs. But no HUGE emotional surprises. A lot of this material was covered in the CW Arrow-verse. Did I enjoy it? Sure. Would I see it again? Probably not. Am I answering my own questions? You bet your ass I am.
