The Flash Becomes Worst Box Office Flop In Superhero Movie History
The Flash joins some infamous company as one of the biggest super-powered misses in movie history.

They give the guy who can’t help but physically assault people his own movie and copy the theme marvel has been using and wonder why it flops…
To be fair to DC , they were already wrapped filming when the crazy shit came out (iirc). At this point they should’ve just pulled a Batgirl with the movie.
When it came out, not when it happened. They most likely knew well ahead of the public, and still went ahead.
Didn't they literally say that "people will just forget what he did lol"?
YUP LOL:

A lot of people are saying "people are burned out on superheroes" but if that's true why is Spider-Man still #1?
People mostly just like to bitch. It's not even like superhero movies are the only thing being made. But they are pretty ubiquitous. I guess people just see so many cross-promoted super-hero movie trailer every time they go see a movie that they get fatigue from the idea of them. Not necessarily the movies themselves.
I was listening to a recent Game Grumps episode where Arin basically went on a tirade about how superhero movies are so bland, and how they don't build the characters and the world... but then turns around and praises some of the more recent movies (Black Panther and GotG I think). It seems people are tired of the hype surround them. Which, honestly, I completely understand.
Ironically, the Batgirl movie would have likely made a profit, since it only cost 90 million and had Brandan Fraser right after he got his Oscar. But I guess the tax write-off was more important.
What theme did they copy from Marvel? If you’re talking about multiverse stuff, that’s been a concept in comics for ages and DC introduced it into comics first. Marvel bringing it to the movie screen first doesn’t give them ownership of the idea.
The timing is a little suspicious. Not a marvel fan btw.
I kinda agree. At the same time, multiverse crap is even more prevalent at DC than at Marvel.
Yeah, but their Elseworlds stuff is way better than most of Marvels stuff of that nature.
If DC really pushes that kind of thing for their new start, I can see them starting to dominate. I think standalone stories with interesting twists will draw in a larger audience, and they wouldn't have near as much of that "superhero fatigue" that a lot of people complain about.
Marvel has a guy like that too, and he was going to be in all of their movies until it came out.
Have they actually dropped him yet? I just heard he had charges and then all news just kind of disappeared.
