Uh huh...
Have we heard anything about whether the movie fits in with ZSJL? If wonder if the dialogue/situations completely contradict The Flash having already used his time travel powers? ZSJL?
Out of curiosity… If Flash doesn’t manipulate time in the (canonical?) Whedon cut, what’s his contribution to that film’s climax? (I’ve only seen the Snyder cut.)

He doesnt do much in the Whedon cut, he saves a random Russian family in the third act and...thats about it.
I'm curious how they handle Barry and Iris' scenes because in ZSJL they meet for the first time but shes completely absent in Whedon's. I wonder if in this movie they have already met.
Understandable! Okay, thanks@Milk Tray Guy not that I remember but I might have missed something cause I was geeking out way too much!
It's not really a spoiler but I will tag it anyways:
They went to college together but have not met as adults in this film. They meet at CCPD when Barry is leaving to prepare for his dad's hearing. You can tell they had a brief history in college which gets touched on when he travels back.
She does not meet The Flash in this so technically that part could still work but that all felt forced anyways.
Best to just ignore all aspects of ZSJL that film is not referenced and did not appear to count.

I think its SAFE to say this movie contradicts ZSJL the same way Aquaman does. It takes its own liberties with the characters and thats totally fine.
Doesn't Aquaman do the "talking in/under water" business? (I've only seen the movie once. And that was enough. ) Whereas, in ZSJL, an air pocket must be generated to make speaking possible. That would be a difference/contradiction.Does Aquaman contradict ZSJL besides Mera's accent and backstory being slightly different?
As a fan of ZSJL (and Snyder’s DC work in general), I’m personally glad it’s not canon because I’m tired of hearing about the Snyderverse. And I think the way Snyder teases coming back to it is kinda annoying. The fact he got to finish his trilogy at all is frankly a miracle and fans of it should just leave it to rest.
But I also feel continuity within these universes is overrated anyway. There’s always contradictions. If the movie is good then I don’t really care.
That’s what made The Batman so refreshing for me. No shared universe or setup for some other franchise, just a good ol’ Batman detective story, straight outta the comics.
Am I crazy for missing the 90's/00's when it comes to superhero films? Yeah, it was all very hit and miss, but there was no real shared universe and it felt like each movie had more time to breathe in the marketplace.
Now I feel like studios are trying to cram 20 projects down my throat every year and you have to ''watch this one to really get'' the one that's coming out in three months time. It all very samey.
I was only really looking forward to Quantumania and Flash in terms of the superhero genre this year and frankly, that was only because of Pfeiffer and Keaton.
Does Barry discover his ability to time travel in this film? That alone would completely contradict ZSJL.
