The Flash: First Steps

What can stop the fastest man alive?

Barry Allen is the fastest man alive, and is beloved by all. He loves being a hero, and has a strong group around him. He can do anything, it seems. Until his new wife Iris announces her pregnancy. Then a young Wally West comes into his life and he is challenged to be a mentor, which he is totally unprepared for. This movie is a straight up comedy, but with some heart-wrenching moments. He can break the seed barrier and the fourth wall! With the team at S.T.A.R. Labs in Central City, he discovers new mysteries in the Speed Force, which opens up an entirely new world of possibilities (and dangers) to him. He also fights the Rogues, a rag-tag group of street-level thieves who are more than the sum of their parts, having watched The Flash for many years and think they can outsmart him. Unlike most antagonists who fall victim to a life of crime, this group has chosen to be villains, to try and one-up The Flash, knowing full well they can't stop him. But why? They fail every time but ultimately teach Barry something about sacrifice, about being a hero, a mentor, and a dad, along the way.
