WARNER BROS. HOME ENTERTAINMENT, DC ENTERTAINMENT AND THE LEGO® GROUP RELEASE
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE WHEN LEGO® DC SUPER HEROES: THE FLASH!
NOW ON BLU-RAY COMBO PACK & DVD
The Flash’s world spins out of control when his arch-nemesis Reverse-Flash puts the Scarlet Speedster into a vicious time loop in LEGO DC Super Heroes: The Flash, the latest animated film from Warner Bros. Animation, DC Entertainment and The LEGO Group.
In LEGO DC Super Heroes: The Flash, Reverse-Flash manipulates the Speed Force to put The Flash into a time loop that forces him to relive the same day over and over again – with progressively disastrous results, including losing his powers and being fired by the Justice League. The Flash must find a way to restore time to its original path and finally apprehend his worst enemy before all is lost for The Flash … and the world!
Along the route, The Flash encounters numerous new characters being introduced to the popular DC Super Heroes series, including The Atom; B’dg, a squirrel-esque Green Lantern; a pair of legendary super pets in Ace the Bat-Hound and Krypto the Super-Dog, Batman and Superman’s faithful canine pals; as well as Aquaman’s trusted seahorse, Storm.
LEGO DC Super Heroes: The Flash also features an original song, “It’s Magic,” written by Tim Kelly and Jeremy Adams, and performed with enthusiastic zest by the trio of The Flash (voiced by James Arnold Taylor), Zatanna (Kate Micucci) and Doctor Fate (Kevin Michael Richardson).
The cast of LEGO DC Super Heroes: The Flash features some of the top voiceover artists in the industry, led by the aforementioned Taylor, Micucci and Richardson, along with Troy Baker (Batman), Nolan North (Superman, Killer Croc), Grey Griffin (Wonder Woman, Lois Lane), Dwight Schultz (Reverse-Flash), Eric Bauza (The Atom, B’dg, Jimmy Olsen), Tom Kenny (Plastic Man, The Penguin), Phil LaMarr (Firestorm), Khary Payton (Cyborg), Vanessa Marshall (Poison Ivy), Dee Bradley Baker (Captain Boomerang, Aquaman), Jason Spisak (The Joker) and Audrey Wasilewski (Mayor).
LEGO DC Super Heroes: The Flash is directed by Ethan Spaulding from a script by Jim Krieg and Jeremy Adams. Sam Register, Brandon Vietti, Jason Cosler, Robert Fewkes and Jill Wilfert are executive producers. Benjamin Melniker and Michael Uslan are co-executive producers.
My Review:
The movie starts out at the Justice League headquarters with Superman, Batman, Ace the bat hound, Cyborg, and others, but not with The Flash. The Joker starts causing trouble in the city and the Justice League members respond to try to stop him, and they all keep saying "Where's The Flash?" The Flash's alarm goes off at 8am, and he runs through the city and helps a bunch of people. Then he decides to go get donuts and then finally, checks his phone!
The Flash gets stuck in a time loop where everyday keeps repeating itself because of the Reverse Flash. The Flash gets some help from Dr. Fate to get out of the time loop and learn about the speed force. I don't want to give away anymore that happens. As I love most all Lego movies, and this one was good too! Take an afternoon or evening, snuggle up with your children, and check out the LEGO DC "Super Heroes: The Flash" on Blu-Ray, DVD, or Digital, or purchase a combo pack!

My Review:
I am part Irish, hence my blondish hair and green eyes! I have been learning about my heritage as I've gotten older, and I'm teaching my children to do the same. We are actually learning about a little bit of everything, because we are all made from people of all sorts of backgrounds and from different countries. My family always celebrates St. Patrick's Day by wearing green, and joining in on the fun with green eggs and ham, green pancakes, and in the evening, green beer for the adults, and green milk for the kids! This book is a great coffee table book. Also great for keeping in your bag to read anytime. Maybe a great book to also take into the restroom with you when your looking for something interesting to read. It would also make a great gift for your Irish friends and relatives!
This book is full of Irish sayings, Lexicons, Unofficial Laws, Facts and Comparisons, Q & A, Animals, and more!
Some of the Unofficial Laws (and a bit of advice) says:
Bad times make good stories. - Michael Dolan
And it's true, the worst days and times in your life, make the greatest stories!
If you have to ask if somebody is male or female, don't. - Patrick Murray
Again, this is so true! If you don't know if a person is a male or female, a boy or a girl, it's honestly best not to ask at all. Like them for WHO they are, for their personality and their character. Unless of course, you want to date them, then, you might want to ask.

Grammy Award winner John Berry has released the single “Beautifully Broken,” written by Jenny Slate Lee and Tiffany Arbuckle Lee. An accompanying video for the song, produced by CJM Productions in Nashville and directed by Jeff Moseley can be watched online here. Both the song and video were simultaneously released on the WSM 650 AM radio program Coffee, Country and Cody and Heartland TV online. The music is the title track for the exhilarating new feature film, “Beautifully Broken.” The song, which features heartfelt lyrics, is perfectly paired with the compelling film that tells the riveting true story of three families, worlds apart, whose paths seem unlikely to cross. Music is available for streaming on Spotify and download on Amazon Music and iTunes.
“When I was pitched this song and watched the movie, I was immediately committed to the project,” said John Berry. “The emotion conveyed in the lyrics and throughout the movie ties perfectly with the movie and I am grateful to be a part of this project.”
The movie will be released nationwide later this year (In August) and you can hear John Berry's version of the soundtrack featured at the end of the film as credits roll. The movie has been getting positive reviews and filling up advance release theater screenings. Watch the trailer at beautifullybrokenmovie.com or you can watch it below:
