Justice League: Snyder's Flash Time Travel Proves How Badly WB Messed Up
The Flash's time-travel sequence in Zack Snyder's Justice League won the Oscars Cheer Moment as the 94th Academy Awards, highlighting the studio's botched handling of the DCEU film more than ever. The release of the 2017 theatrical version of Justice League would spark a re-litigation of the making of a major superhero movie the likes of which has never been seen before.
