Flash in other media

Unless something truly crazy happens, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will be the final film in the DC Extended Universe that began 10 years ago with Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel.

The Flash movie, which opened to a significantly less-than-expected box office of $55 million, way down from Warner Bros.’ expected/optimistically hoped-for $75 million. But if that was the Flash stumbling, the hero has now fallen flat on his face.Sony's Morbius is a Messy VoidWhile the WB hoped the film would lose only 55 percent in week two ticket sales, various outlets report that its domestic ticket…

But as more press has …
