Barry Allen realises that his super speed can actually change the past so he attempts to save his family and despite warnings that if you change the past it will change the future he goes and does it anyway.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
When feeling as though he is just used Barry Allen begins to wonder if his lonely and unfulfilling life can be enhanced by his superpowers. Still attempting to come to terms with his mothers death and fit for his father’s innocence of being in prison for killing her, he comes up with a plan to try and change it all. Despite the warnings from Bruce Wayne not to mess with time, he goes and does it anyway.
Using the speed force he quickly finds out that Bruce was indeed correct and changing one tiny thing alters everything else within that reality. Can he ever actually get back to the place he thought was his reality?
This therefore means that we end up with two Barry’s at different stages and ages of life and for our Barry a look at how he could have turned out as a teen going to college had his mother not been murdered. I guess that is a pretty deep way to head into the film and everything that will come from it stems from Barry trying to fix that trauma.
It’s actually a very difficult film to write a review for considering that my favourite moments I cannot really mention due to them containing spoilers and quite frankly I managed to go into the film spoiler free on Thursday night after the Wednesday release!
Obviously, everyone knew that Michael Keaton was back as Batman/Bruce Wayne and to be brutally honest that was the main reason I wanted to go and see this film. It felt so good to see him back in that role and makes him the oldest on screen Batman. A fantastic turnaround in a career that had fallen until his revival a few years back. That did make for some exciting scenes.
We are well and truly into the multiverse across nearly all comic book films now though aren’t we, mashing things together in DC and Marvel universes. I guess though having seen a lot of The Flash TV series some of this felt a little bit familiar. It does have some good moments and Ezra Miller is decent enough going all in on the double Barry/Flash roles.
It has a good mixture of amusing moments that balance out the hard hitting core of the storyline and reasons for wanting to change everything which is always a good thing to watch right? It is what we are now accustom to with superhero films. It certainly is one of the better outings for DC.
