Justice League: 10 Best Moments

5. Bruce Wayne Meets Barry Allen

Though the majority of this scene was featured in trailers a long time ago, it was still fun to see Barry Allen's snappy initial meeting with Bruce Wayne.

The scene quickly sets up The Flash as the joker of the group ("I do...competitive ice dancing"), and features the terrific beat where Bruce throws a Batarang at Barry to "out" him.

In a moment that feels almost like a parody of superhero team-up movies, Barry agrees to join the team in mere seconds (true to his nature as the speedy member of the team), quickly moving things along rather than dragging the scene out.

Amusingly, we also learn about Barry's peculiar eating habits, that due to his high metabolism, he is a serial snacker.

For everything the movie gets wrong, it totally nails the brief introduction to The Flash, in large part thanks to Ezra Miller's excellent, show-stealing performance.
