And, consistently earning a laugh throughout the film, he often likes to take a big sip from his flask. He wields dual-pistols and aims for the head. When he doesn't get his way with a villain, he chucks them off the roof with no intention of catching them with a grappling hook at the last second. Again, I'm going to try and dance around spoilers, but suffice to say that this isn't your granddaddy's Batman. While Flash does a great job, it's Batman that is the real gem of the movie. Thomas Howell with a deep and chilling tone, he fills every moment of his time on screen with an unnerving dread. He is opposed by the Reverse Flash, who has his same powers, a yellow version of his costume, and a pair of haunting red eyes. Voice actor Justin Chambers does a superb job adding emotional weight and heroic conviction to his lines, although there's one scene near the end where he's beaten and broken yet he doesn't sound weary in the slightest. He uses his powers in impressive ways that are visually striking, while the script features a heartfelt story about his relationship with his mother and the way he deals with both grief and responsibility. As a newspaper headline proclaims, this is a world on the brink of Armageddon and the threat of death is real for everyone. There's an excellent flashback scene that shows how small changes in a hero's origin can have huge ramifications down the line. There are a great deal more twists, but to detail them would spoil the fun of this movie. He doesn't have his powers, Cyborg is the world's greatest hero, and a feud between Wonder Woman and Aquaman is about to cause World War Three. But what's the reason that a Justice League movie is showcasing such gore? After a clever and unique opening scene featuring Flash taking on his villains with the help of the Justice League, Flash wakes up in a strange yet familiar world.
