9 Films DC Should Make Before Flashpoint

9. Flash: Terminal Velocity

One of the most crucial aspects present in the storyline for Flashpoint is that of the Speed Force, as the entire string of events that occurs and causes the alternate reality is solely due to multiple characters' use of it. Yet, we haven't even seen this power addressed in the cinematic incarnation of the character.

And no, that weird, mustachioed Flash cameo in BvS does not count.

A great way to introduce audiences to the concept would be to make the first Flash film an adaptation of Mark Waid's Flash: Terminal Velocity. This 1995 comic was the first time the Speed Force was actually introduced into the comics. Thus, it showcases Barry learning about the extent and abilities of these new powers alongside the reader, acting as a natural immersion into the larger world of wonkiness that is the Speed Force.

On top of this, it's a flat-out great story. Filled with great character development for the title character as well as being chock-full of genuine romance and tension, it's an arc that absolutely begs to be adapted for film. DC would be wise to follow-up Flash's role in Justice League with a story that allows the character to truly blossom, such as this.
