There have been a lot of controversies surrounding the visual effects of modern movies, and the latest victim of public scrutiny is DC’s The Flash movie starring Ezra Miller. The production for the upcoming project was not smooth sailing; in fact, it experienced several delays and even possible cancelation from Warner Bros.
Now that the movie is only a few weeks away from its worldwide premiere, several teasers and promotional pictures are starting to make their rounds on social media. One thing that left fans riled up so badly is the film’s own VFX.
DC Fans Are Comparing The Flash Movie’s Visual Effects With Zack Snyder’s Version
It looks like fans are not satisfied with The Flash movie’s graphics and visual effects, and some are comparing it to the work of Zack Snyder. Ezra Miller starred as Barry Allen in Justice League in 2017, and seeing there have been changes in the costume and overall vibe of the character, fans could not help but make comparisons.
A user from Twitter posted a collage of The Flash’s photos begging comic book movies to “do better than Zack Snyder”:

The Flash work in Zack Snyder's JL is incredible and if you deny that it's at least reasonably good then you just sound like a fanboy.
The Flash work in what we've seen of the new movie that's not his looks terrible. That's the point being made above.#RestoreTheSnyderverse pic.twitter.com/ewjnQR1d9N

Every single frame of the Flash looks mid at best. Do not compare a great CBM filmmaker like Zack Snyder to a guy who has yet to get one released, and 2 months out from release still looks like it needs another year in post production.

While the movie has undergone several revisions, four sets of directors, and the lead star going through tough times because of their numerous charges, it is finally happening and coming to theaters as part of the remaining projects for the DC Extended Universe.
Everything We Know About The Flash Movie
Ezra Miller will reprise their role as Barry Allen, who uses his superpowers to travel back in time to prevent the murder of his mother. This rash decision, however, causes disturbances in the order of things, altering the future and creating a multiverse.
Based on the iconic Flashpoint event, Barry finds himself in a reality in which General Zod has returned. There are no other superheroes left, except for a retired different version of Batman and an imprisoned Kryptonian.
The first official trailer premiered at the Super Bowl LVII, which served as a feast for every DC fan because not only it featured a first look at Michael Keaton’s highly-anticipated return as the Caped Crusader, but also Ben Affleck’s version. It also confirmed the return of Michael Shannon’s General Zod and Sasha Calle’s debut as Supergirl. The trailer was filled with action-packed sequences that lasted nearly three minutes.
Helmed by Andy Muschietti, The Flash will be the second DC movie of the year following Shazam: Fury of the Gods. There are still other remaining projects left from the DCEU for the year, but as far as the new DC Universe is concerned, a sequel to the Ezra Miller-led film is also reportedly in the works.
Warner Bros. is showing confidence in The Flash as the movie finds itself an early screening two months before its theatrical release. The event will take place during CinemaCon 2023 at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas from April 24 to April 27.
The Flash will premiere worldwide on June 16, 2023.
