Warner Bros. Is Releasing A BLACK ADAM/THE FLASH 4K Blu-ray 2-Pack For Some Reason

What did we do to deserve this? Warner Bros. has quietly confirmed plans to release Black Adam and The Flash as a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray 2-pack, though it's all but guaranteed to eventually hit bargain bins.

Look, we know Black Adam and The Flash both bombed at the box office but is Warner Bros. trying to now punish us for that? 

For reasons we don't fully understand, the studio will release a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray 2-pack this October featuring both movies. We weep for those who will find this waiting for them under the Christmas tree in December, with unwitting parents and partners buying their loved ones what looks like a fun time on the surface.

It's hard to fathom why these two movies would be bundled together, but the set is real and brings together two of the DCEU's biggest bombs in one place.

Black Adam took a bigger mauling from critics than The Flash, but was the bigger financial success when all was said and done (which isn't something anyone could have predicted a year ago).

The Scarlet Speedster's solo outing, meanwhile, was dubbed the "greatest" superhero movie ever by James Gunn, only to be rejected by audiences and largely forgotten in the months since. Neither character is now expected to be part of the new DCU, though Andy Muschietti has somehow found himself tasked with directing The Brave and the Bold

"Come for The Rock’s pitch-perfect take on Black Adam and stay for an unmissable post-credits scene," we said in our Black Adam review. "Then, just try to forget everything else, because this brainless, brawny superhero movie is not the fresh start the DCEU desperately needs."

As for The Flash, we concluded our verdict by saying, "Far from the greatest superhero movie ever made and not quite among the worst, The Flash is still another mediocre effort from the DCEU with appalling VFX and a messy story that the excellent Michael Keaton and Sasha Calle alone are unable to save."

Here's a first look at perhaps the scariest thing heading our way this Halloween...

Say what you wish but enjoyed both these movies if you leave aside the bits that were clearly hacked about with the sole purpose to distance them from any ongoing links to whatever comes next.

@Spike101 - I mean Black Adam literally had a Henry Cavil Superman cameo. I’m pretty sure they weren’t trying to separate themselves from anything at that point

@Spike101 - good and bad everything have there fans even people will disagree with you hate you for it I like black Adam over flash cameos in flash made it better for me

@dragon316 - that’s very true. I watched Black Adam on a flight expecting a truly awful movie after reading some of the write ups and it wasn’t until the final moments of the movie that I had anything to complain about and even then it was only that it was a little disjointed, presumably because it had been hacked about so much.

Now I can not add these in my physical media collection twice as fast. Quite efficient, really.

I would take a Keaton trilogy box set on 4k, but not this cheap-ass double floppy bargain bin crap.

In fact the only way I would ever buy The Flash on physical media is if it was also packaged with Batman and Batman Returns on 4K, because I don't have 4K copies of those movies and that would be a good excuse.

@Lokiwasright - when they have two films that they’re trying to figure out a way to break even on

For some reason? It's so there's more of a chance both movies will be bought.
