"Barry, if you were to go into the past, any interaction you have with your parents or yourself, you step on the wrong blade of grass, you have no idea what the consequences to that could be." - Bruce Wayne

Why watch this? Forever in the making, but this busy little film was worth the wait.

Plot Summary: In this Super-Hero flick, Barry Allen, aka The Flash, uses his super speed to travel back in time to prevent his mother's murder and clear his father's name. This action leads to unintended consequences, as Barry finds himself in an altered timeline without superheroes, where General Zod is threatening to destroy the world. Barry must then team up with a retired Batman and an imprisoned Kryptonian to restore the timeline and save this altered reality.

Dad's Preview: Many fully expected this project would never make it to theaters due to the implosion of the DC Extended Universe at Warner Brothers, and some personal issues with its star, Ezra Miller. Luckily, WB pushed it to the finish line. There is a lot to like here. Based loosely on a DC storyline called Flashpoint, the Flash heads back in time to save his Mom. This creates a mess time-wise, and enables him to jump into alternate universes. There are genuinely funny moments as Flash rescues babies and encounters a non-superhero Barry Allen in another universe. We also get to see Michael Keaton don the Bat-suit again, which is a thrill for many older fans (like me). The last third of the film is a bit weak, but it is still worth watching to conclusion.
