‘The Flash’ Test-Screening Reactions Have Been Overwhelmingly Positive

December 6, 2022 Jordan Ruimy

Back in August, I had been told that Warner Bros CEO David Zaslav was a big fan of “The Flash.”

Directed by Andrés Muschietti, “The Flash” was said to be one of the better-directed DCEU movies, and a recent 08.11.22 test screening of the film only enhanced Zaslav’s confidence in the finished product. I was told “The Flash” earned the highest test-score ratings in DCEU history.

Our report has been emulated by Deadline who just wrote about the incredible reception for “The Flash. That’s why there will likely be no more delays in regards to the movie. It’s very much a 2023 release, despite its budget having supposedly skyrocketed to to nearly $300 million. In fact, it’s now been moved up a week on the schedule to June 16, 2023.

Zaslav and company have had star Ezra Miller, AKA The Flash, assaulting people around the world, left and right, but, supposedly, that doesn’t seem to matter to Warners if the movie is this good.

Miller’s summer adventures are too many to list in just a single article, but he did choke a woman, was accused of grooming children, was arrested multiple times for punching people, there’s also an armed robbery incident .. oh, and he he reportedly, and illegally, housed a mother and three young children on an unlicensed cannabis farm.

In August, I had posted a snippet of a reaction I gathered from the test-screening: “Humorous, thrilling and emotional” is what one person told me about “The Flash.” Miller is said to be perfect in the role. The movie is also Michael Keaton’s big return as Batman, and he is said to play a very important role in the plot, appearing in more than half of the film’s 140 minutes.

Along the way there are cameos from Ben Affleck (as Batman), Gal Gadot, and Jason Momoa. There is also a CGI-ed version of Christopher Reeve as Superman. How does Reeve show up exactly? A big chunk of the plot has to do with Flash’s desire to change his past and bring back his mom with a space-time continuum — this has the Flash starting to see DC heroes from the past like Reeves, Adam West, Helen Slater and Linda Carter.

On a more negative note, Zaslav is supposedly not happy with what he’s seen of “Aquaman 2,” currently in post-production, but obviously not to the point of shelving it like he did with “Batgirl.”
