#dc movies work best when there is SOME level of camp bc they are the less serious comics company

How is that Warner Bros is about to release a really fantastic, campy movie (Barbie), but at the same time, is about to release a movie that is horrible in terms of both a certain person and a really bad plot (The Flash). Like.. hello @ WB???

I don't know enough about how studios work to be any kind of authority on this, but my guess is nostalgia bait on both ends. One of these (Barbie) feels more authentic though (gonna chalk that up to Greta Gerwig), while the other feels like just trying to cover up a certain actor they don't want to recast by dangling Marvel-style tropes & a beloved previous Batman in our faces. Like, for being titled "The Flash," it only tangentially feels about him?

I guess it's whatever since I don't want to see it, but I'm still disappointed because why does it have to be my fave they're doing this to?
