Oh hi,
This week on filmsack we FLASH over to THE Max when we hear that this modern 2023 Action/Adventure DC Superhero movie is colliding with superhero movies of the past like some sort of ChronoBowl of Spaghetti metaphors covered in splashy CGI cans of tomato sauce tears and shoved into our colosseum of superglued mouth teeth. Are you not entertained? No.
Anywho, If you are still lost on how time travel works in movies and even further confused about how this relates to a DC multiverse…well…let me see if I can use my Gen X powers of irony and sarcasm to explain it in terms that my generation could understand that doesn’t involve Americanized Italian foods. Ok… Time isn’t linear… If you go back in time and try to return that copy of Tim Burton’s Batman to BlockBuster in 1992 before your mom dies from a “late fee” related conniption fit and in your haste you forget to be “kind and rewind” which creates a ripple effect that casts Mel Gibson as Batman and now you have an aged Mel Gibson reprising his role as Batman in 2023 and he eats Ezra Miller’s Jewish half on set creating the biggest actor controversy to date…well…Not every problem has a solution.
Randy, I know I am just a random lady in a store…but do you need a hug?

BRIEF
Worlds collide when the Flash uses his superpowers to travel back in time to change the events of the past. However, when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, he becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation. With no other superheroes to turn to, the Flash looks to coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian — albeit not the one he’s looking for.
