ANI-MOVIES, *Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash

Set in the same universe as the Batman Lego video game trilogy, the Lego DC Comics are set in their own continuity not connected to The Lego Movie or The Lego Batman Movie. This was even established in the Lego Dimensions game where the Batman Lego beats the Lego Batman, and you play the rest of the game as that version of Batman. So, with the success of The Flash show set in the "Arrowverse", and the possibility of a Flash spinoff of the Justice League movie, they though giving the scarlet speedster his own Lego animated flick might click with youngsters.

The Justice League introduces The Atom to the team, when Joker takes a vacation in Metropolis, and the citizens with his Joker gas. The League leaps into action(including Plastic Man turning into a helicopter with functioning exploding missles!), but Joker is finally stopped by a tardy Flash. But then a yellow blurry speedster shows up, and forces Flash to keep reliving the same day over and over in a timeloop. Flash finally catches up to him, and winds up several days later. The bad guy is really Reverse-Flash, a speedster from the future who came back in time to ruin Flash's image so people will remember him instead, and he also manages to sever Flash's connection to the Speed Force, the energy that gives speedsters their power. So Flash seeks out Dr. Fate and his dancing student Zatanna to help him go to the Speed Force Zone, and get his powers back.

This was a mostly enjoyable feature, certainly better than the previous Lego Justice League film. It's good for a watch on Cartoon Network, or renting through Redbox or Netflix DVD.
