Why is it so difficult to make a Flash movie?
Jayden Wood
Wyatt Gutierrez
Conceptually, it's very difficult to write a story around the Flash. Historically, writers have repeatedly struggled to make proper use of him due to the obscenely broken nature of his powers. Even without Speed Force bullshit or attosecond nonsense, in theory, most problems could be easily solved by him in the literal blink of an eye. He's just too powerful.
Anthony Butler
So power him down. It's been done before.
Justin Foster
Powering him down may actually make for a more compelling story even in comics. When Wally started as Flash after crisis he could "barely" run at 1000 mph, right? And no one complains from the stories in that run.
Andrew Adams
I always felt that reaching the speed of light should be the Flash's power ceiling, and something that he is only able to do in very extreme circumstances.
Landon Morales
Lately it's because Ezra Miller is a dick and for some reason someone thinks they should still try to make the JL lineup work just because WW and Aquaman worked.
Leo Kelly
Injustice 2, of all things, proved you can do action scenes focused around speedsters and do them well.
Adrian Phillips
It's the same as Superman, give him a villain that can't be defeated through force but only by being clever or a good person. It's like he can easily defeat Trickster, but his great battle is to *redeem* Trickster, not just stop him from doing silly shit.
Or a villain who adequately nullifies some of his powers like half of his fucking Rogue gallery.
Flash's "infinity punch" irks my high school understanding of physics. Mass augments exponentially *up* to the speed of light and that's why you can't reach the speed of light, if you actually reach the speed of light you can't also use the exponential mass of the theory you're currently destroying.

Like Mr. Mxyzptlk?

It's a fucking comic book, Green Lantern does similarly retarded shonen levels of shit. Ant-Man does impossible in real life shit with Pym Particles because it doesn't make sense. Your typical 8 year old knows this and is smart enough to not sperg about it.

Studios are always chasing the next big thing, and Warner thinks Miller is it.
