The Flash has faced scrutiny for over a year due to a variety of legal incidents involving star Ezra Miller. The actor was arrested twice in Hawaii on harassment and assault charges, pled guilty to trespassing after being charged with burglary, and has been accused of grooming a minor, among other incidents. The minor in question, now an adult, disputes the grooming allegation. In August 2022, Miller announced they were seeking treatment for “complex mental health issues.” Later, in January, The Flash studio Warner Bros. announced that they were standing behind the actor. You can read more about the issues surrounding Miller here.
The Flash has just run into theaters, and if you’re looking to add that movie to your collection, then you can grab an early preorder right now for it. Over at Best Buy, preorders for the film’s upcoming 4K Blu-ray release are now live, and come in a very eye-catching steelbook case.

The outside of this Blu-ray cover sports the signature logo of The Flash, and on the inside, you get an image of Michael Keaton’s Batman and both Scarlet Speedsters. The perfect protection for the disc, some would say. This edition is for the 4K Ultra High-Definition version, so you know the picture will be exceptionally crisp if you have the right TV to watch movies on. If you don’t have a UHD TV, worry not, because a 1080p Blu-ray and digital versions are also included.
As for special features, we don’t know what’s on the disc yet, but usually, these packages come with production crew commentary, behind-the-scenes documentaries, trailers, and short videos chronicling the history of these comic book characters from the printed page to the big screen. Previous DC movies like The Batman and Aquaman had plenty of extras like this, so it’s a safe bet that The Flash will also have these special features.
“For almost two hours, I really enjoyed The Flash. It’s a fun romp through the past with big Back to the Future Part 2 vibes, not taking itself seriously enough to be obnoxious,” Phil Owen wrote in GameSpot’s The Flash review. “It wasn’t perfect, and it doesn’t earn most of its sappiness, but it was a good time.”
