Internet Divided Over a Major Comic Book Blunder of Henry Cavill’s Superman vs Ezra Miller’s Flash Race in &#8216;Justice League&#8217;

The DC Comics character Superman, portrayed by Henry Cavill,
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] has gained a lot of love from fans.
However, there are some fans who, just like the British actor, are defenders of
the source material. Those who have read the original comics would have found
many differences in the film. Therefore, a fan pointed out a major difference
that Zack Snyder’s Justice League made. While some fans defended it, others
pointed out the blunder from the different adaptations.

The 2017 superhero film didn’t do well at the Box office

However, loyal DC fans are in love with the characters and the comic books.
Therefore, the social fan was flooded when a fan noticed the film’s post-credit
scene and saw a change in the race between Superman and Flash. According to the
comic book, Superman was supposed to run, not fly, when he and Flash met in the
post-credit scene.

In Superman #199, by Jim Shooter Curt Swan, and George Klein, the Man of Steel
and The Flash first raced. Both superheroes race more than once in good spirits
to test their powers. In those friendly races, Superman defeated Flash as well.
However, in the Justice League’s post-credit scene, Kal-El and Flash compete
with each other as they save the planet from destruction. Some fans did not like
this change made in the film from the comic book.

HENRY CAVILL VS EZRA MILLER: FANS REACT TO THE CONTROVERSIAL RACE

While running, Superman flies instead of running. However, some fans defended
him by saying he stayed closer to the ground so that Flash could keep an eye on
him. And some fans referred to the original comic book and pointed out the
difference in a neutral tone. Some even brought in the series, Arrowverse
starring Grant Gustin as the Fastest Man Alive.
