In The Flash, director Andy Muschietti explores the relationship between a superhero’s body and powers through body horror elements. However, this isn’t the first time that horror directors have breathed disturbing life into comic book movies by leaning into the fantastical elements of comics. Featuring interviews with director Andy Muschietti, producer Barbara Muschietti, and Supergirl actress Sasha Calle, this loose adaptation of the Flashpoint comic keeps key moments from the story by emphasizing the physical strain and obstacles these powers have on their bodies. This approach in The Flash and other recent comic book movies is an effective way to create deeper sympathy with the heroes we see on screen.
