Critics have talked about the new DC Comics movie The Flash, which stars the troubled US actor Ezra Miller.
After Miller was arrested several times and got help for mental health problems, the superhero’s much-anticipated first solo movie was in question.
Miller plays Barry Allen/The Flash, who is a member of the Justice League and a forensic inspector for the police. He can move at speeds that are faster than humans.
The main character goes back in time to stop his father from being wrongly accused of killing his mother. He also helps his younger self, which has unintended effects.
“When our hero meets a traumatized witness, he says, ‘You should talk to a mental health worker. The Justice League is not very good at that yet,” wrote Maher.
“Then there’s a dirty pause, a half-turn towards the camera, and then he says, ‘Trust me!’ This seems pretty cruel in the context of a movie with shaky morals that is mostly about reselling the cultural standards of an entertainment company.
Some old superheroes, like Michael Keaton’s and Ben Affleck’s Batmen and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, also make cameos in the movie.

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian said that there were “spectacular and surreal visions of the different versions of DC superheroes,” and that the last showing of a version of Bruce Wayne that is almost forgotten made him laugh.

He also said, “But this movie, The Flash is not a movie with any new ideas or dramatic rethinking, and, at the risk of reopening the DC/Marvel divide, it has nothing to do with the much-praised animation experiment in the recent Spider-Man movies.”
