Hello, and welcome to something I’ve been waiting a damn long time to put this to page in a correct fashion, because the last time and the time before sucked. I’ve made a few changes in the castings to make the actors younger, so we can sort of “grow” with them” and then once they’re old, I’ll replace them in the story by using some sort of plot device with another actor I considered for the role. Like I said before, will be treating these films as if they’re actually going to be made, to kind of add to the experience. Anyways, let’s get into it.
FLASH: ROGUE Reference Release Date: 5/ 3/ 2019

Plot Summary
The main synopsis of this fill is that it’s been a year since the particle accelerator explosion, and even though the Flash has his team in Dr. Stein, Iris, and Darryl, he has yet to face a truly experienced enemy. Enter the Rogues, a.k.a Task Force V, Amanda Waller’s first attempt to make a team of criminals with built-in deniability as the director of A.R.G.U.S. They were common criminals that were already compiled by themselves, but then hired by A.R.G.U.S. as private contractors. That all fell through while the Rogues were caught in the particle accelerator explosions. They were presumed dead, stripped of rank, and return to a life of robbing banks, the only line of work that makes sense to them. The Flash comes upon them as they are in the midst of holding up Central City Third Bank. Barry goes in on them, figuring they had their weapons. Well, Team Flash was totally wrong, as Snart and his gang of merry men had actually gained the abilities of their weapons. In utter shock, and seriously injured from the ensuing battle, The Flash retreats to make a game plan. About halfway through the film, after some character development for the cast, The Flash gets back to the playing field, and finds the Rogues’ hideout outside of the city. They get into a fight, and while Top is spinning, Barry accidentally hits him through a train. The Rogues, minus Top, rush to the civilians’ aide, much to the surprise of The Flash. While the various first responders tend to the wounded at the scene, the Rogues leave, and the police take in an incapacitated Top, Barry talks to Darryl about how the Rogues aren’t so bad, and that they need to take them out with the least amount of pain, because underneath, they’re good people. The rest of the second act of the film is both teams preparing for a final showdown between the two sides. But it takes a strange turn, with the Flash picking off the members one by one (except Sam and Lisa, who are together when Flash confronts them all, in the order of Weather Wizard, then Harkness, then Sam and Lisa together. The final battle between Flash and Leonard takes them to different locations; Keystone City, Midway City, and finally back to in front of Central City Third Bank, where they first met. Leonard rants about how the Flash, despite his speed, won’t save everyone, and he never will. He says the Rogues were just trying to get by in this, after they lost everything, and it’s all the Flash and his friends that try to intervene in everything destroyed his life, and made him into a freak. Snart goes in for the kill, and Barry is forced to deliver an instant knockout blow to Snart, and everything is over. By the end of the film, Barry is left wondering, “Did I actually win? Did anyone?”
Mid-Credits Scene
The mid-credits scene is simply General Zod (Ken Wantanabe, 1st appearance) staring out of the window of a Kryptonian spaceship, speaking to two other beings in deep sleep and saying “Rise, my children, we have a mission. To find Kal-El.”
Post Credits Scene
Here, we find Roscoe Dillon/ Top (David Tennant), sitting at a table in a prison block common area, wearing an orange jumpsuit. A mysterious man comes and sits down at the table, back facing the camera. He says, in a soothingly sinister voice, “Hello, Roscoe. I have an offer for you.”, before reaching his hand across the table for Roscoe to shake. The camera slowly swings behind Top’s back, revealing Vandal Savage (Christoph Waltz, 1st appearance). Top takes his hand, and with an even more sinister seeming smile, Savage stands and says, “Wonderful. We have work to do.”, before the film cuts to black.
Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed. Please remember to come back next week for my review of Netflix’s Marvel’s Iron Fist Season 2. Thanks again for reading, and remember, have a nerdy day.
