RELATED: Toy Review: Star Wars Milestones The Child (Grogu) 1:2 Statue Viewers may be pleasantly surprised by how unpredictable the narrative is. But if the mildly forced moral feels obligatory, at least none of the rest of the story does. The war against fascism is a little bigger than that, fellas. Which, of course, he must reciprocate by teaching another character his true purpose. If there’s any issue with the plot, it’s the extent to which the entirety of World War II at times seems like it predominantly exists to teach Barry Allen a Very Special Lesson. We’ve seen lots of Flash/speedster effects in live-action lately, and it’s hard to do an original take, but the way Barry and Jay move, sometimes in accelerated slow-mo and others like teleporting sonic booms, stays consistently inventive. From the vintage newsreel-style beginning and opening credits to the rusting, decaying environments that the smoother-colored characters really pop out from. Visually, this is one of the most inventive DC animated films to date.

Nods to Raiders of the Lost Ark and Clash of the Titans also stand out. Also, these superheroes definitely kill people, but mostly Nazis. The desaturated color scheme may or may not be a tribute to Zack Snyder. Barry Allen as the audience surrogate character, and the idea of a hero who decides that putting together a Justice League would be a good idea feels like, well, Justice League. Aquaman’s Atlantis draws from James Wan’s take. Wonder Woman (Stana Katic) has Gal Gadot’s accent, and gets Nazi-fighting scenes that echo the World War I battles in Patty Jenkins’ movie.
In some ways, the story feels like a mashup of things people like about the recent films.
