Did DC just copy the Marvel Spiderman idea..


of bringing all the other batman's and superman's back (from other timelines, actors from our past that played batman and superman before)

I was amazed at the elegance when Marvel first did it in Spiderman - No way home (where they brought the old spidermans and old actors and old adversaries back, explaining it with the multiverses)

Now i felt i had already seen that again and was like 'again?')

Yep basically and not done well at all. In a "No Way Home" style Flash movie there should have been old actors who had played the Flash before not a bunch of old Batman and Superman actors. I guess the producers were not confident that the Flash could sell his own movie so that's why all the Batman and Superman actors.

Tbh they needed to go more 'NWH' in The Flash, e.g. Cage Superman interacting with The Flash & Batman, Cavill as Superman (appearing properly), some Burton Bat villains like Riddler, Two Face (if he'd done Forever, B&R), Lynda Carter as WW, etc

They thought the fans would be happy to see the other Batmen but we were not
