The DCU can do the Flash's villains justice.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Following The Flash's controversial reception, James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe has the chance to do the Scarlet Speedster's rogue gallery justice. The DCEU introduced Ezra Miller's Barry Allen as early as in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, after which he appeared in a Suicide Squad cameo before he received a supporting role in Justice League.
The Flash adapted DC Comics' famous Flashpoint storyline, where Barry Allen confronts his archnemesis, Eobard Thawne a.k.a. Reverse-Flash, who killed Barry's mother Nora and motivated him to travel back in time to prevent it.
With even the most obscure comic book characters making successful jumps to the big and the small screen, it's clear that the Flash's movie appearances fall short of their potential. Barry Allen's only encounter with a Flash villain, Captain Boomerang, was followed up by Boomerang's death in The Suicide Squad. Later on, the Flash's solo film had an opportunity to pit Barry Allen against his own enemies and explore his corner of the DCEU without other heroes overshadowing him.
Superman: Legacy is establishing the DCU as a lived-in franchise already filled with metahumans. Although the new DC Universe might not begin with heroes as experienced as Ben Affleck's DCEU Batman or with stories as climactic as The Flash's adaptation of DC's Flashpoint, it will skip origin stories and fast-track the universe's foundations in order to hit the ground running.
