The Flash has been mired in controversy for untold months now, thanks to star Ezra Miller’s many scandals—and we’re still six weeks away from its release.

The full version of SpaceX’s futuristic Starship launch vehicle took flight last week in the first-ever attempt to send it into space —making it off the launchpad in South Texas and climbing to 24 miles above the Earth’s surface before experiencing a “rapid unscheduled disassembly” (i.e. it exploded in a big ball of fire and debris).
