‘The Flash’ Director Thinks Movie Failed Because Women Don’t Care About The Flash, A Character That Was Watched By Millions Of Women On The CW
Yeah, there might be other reasons this one didn’t work.
The Flash is the name of multiple DC Comics-based characters, including Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, and Wally West. All speedsters, the character has been a cornerstone of DC’s books since 1940. The various iterations have been key members of the Justice Society of America and Justice League. And each has his own, distinct character. Jay is often depicted in modern comics as a wise veteran. Barry is a serious scientist. And Wally is the goofier one, always trying to live up to the legacy of the previous two.
In fact, the character has been featured in two live-action series, including a long-running one on The CW starring Grant Gustin. And recently, a feature film version starred Ezra Miller (who also crossed over into the TV universe at one point).
