I laughed out loud when I saw that they not only put in Nic Cage's Superman, but they incorporated the storyline with the giant murderous spider-thing that was attached to that Superman story. That was an absolute masterstroke of fan service, lol. Also happy they got Christopher Reeve and Helen Slater in there as well, but was a little sad Bale's Bats or Brandon Routh's Supes didn't make the cut.

And also.....did you catch the Adam West Batman shot? That was amazing

I've always loved the Flash's story, it's the closest thing DC has to Spiderman, and they're very similar in alot of ways. But Barry Allen's story is great, that no matter how fast he can run, he can't escape his origin. He tries to change it, but it backfires horribly and he has to learn that he can't save everyone. It's such a great way to send that message that this movie was enjoyable in so many ways.

The only disappointing part of it, is that it leads to nowhere in James Gunns' universe now, especially with these box office numbers. If the movie made $150 million just in domestic this weekend, then maybe you could see Ezra come back if he kept clean and stopped being Ezra, but they kinda wasted Flashpoint in this movie. They did it well enough, bringing in Keaton, substituting Supergirl in for Superman, but the rest of the cast is just not there. There's no Aquaman in the main movie, no Wonder Woman besides for a laugh cameo, they didn't end it like the original story ended it, didn't introduce Thomas Wayne, didn't introduce the Reverse Flash which was probably a better move so they could showcase him with the next round of DCU superheroes, but still takes away the conflict and the antagonist from the movie and replaces it with a rehash of Zod's arrival on Earth.

At no point do I believe the iteration they present in the end of this movie will come back in another movie. I hope they bring back Sasha Calle as Supergirl though, she was really well done, so if you're going to take one of the characters and flesh out her origins in another dimension then I would hope it's her, but Ezra, Gal Gadot, Batfleck, or the other cameos, they're stuck in that timeline and won't get any more movies dedicated to them. Just cameo's in Gunn's universe, or Crisis on Infinite Earths, if they do that storyline. The Flashpoint storyline was just kinda wasted as an X-Men 3 the Last Stand way with the Phoenix Saga. Just hope when they redo it it's not a another movie that doesn't do it justice and it ends up being X-Men 3 the Last Stand followed by Dark Phoenix, and we're still waiting on a good version of the storyline. This movie was alot better than X-Men 3, but I couldn't escape that feeling after having watched it.

Gadot and Keaton were supposed to be at the trial at the end in addition to Cavill's cameos being scrapped.

There was no way they were going to a 100% copy of the comic storyline. Why introduce Thomas Wayne in a universe that is going nowhere? Keaton was brought in to also tie in with Batgirl, which was canceled, and I thought his character did a good job at replacing Thomas Wayne from the original story.

I would like to see Calle's Supergirl in the new universe, but given her movie was canceled, I find it unlikely. I think Mamoa's Aquaman could be in the new one since Barry mentions how Arthur is in every timeline (even as a dog) but not sure it would make sense to continue in that role.

And Gadot's WW has been so terribly mishandled in this entire universe aside from the first WW movie that I don't see any benefit of having her in the universe unless they do more than beyond giving her cameos or brief scenes.
