Wonder Woman was never referred to as "Wonder Woman" in her movie. The JL probably has no reason to call him the Flash if just met him

In Japan there's a few heroes in niche manga like that, yeah. They usually have another absurd and silly gimmick like wearing girl's underwear as a mask.

But still, full body rights is the most effective method of practicality without compromising the aesthetic for speeders.

So, how do the people in his city call him? He's been a hero for more than one year, right? If he's not known as Flash, do they call him "The Blur", "Red Lightning", "Legal Speedy Gonzales" or something like that? I'm not bashing their choice yet, maybe it doesn't fit the movie, just curious.

They didn't. They were making fun of Star-Lord himself, particularly the fact that no one had a clue who he was despite him acting like a big deal.

This is just like the line from the first X-Men movie with the line where they make fun of how ridiculous their original costumes are. The irony being that their leather uniforms aged about as well as milk and that when they did include the "ridiculous" comic accurate costumes in Deadpool they looked fucking amazing

Do they think they're smart when they do this type of shit? There's nothing subversive or meaningful for when they willingly choose to do mock the source material for no reason, they just seem like a bunch of edgy assholes who realize that superheroes aren't 100% realistic

The funny part is that like 99% of the time the more "nickname" they try to give them is even sillier than their actual name. Arrow was actually good though because the first season was grounded in reality so it made sense that they only referred to him as the archer/hood/vigilante. But yeah, they should've been calling him Green arrow by season 2. Shit's simple. Makes even more sense once you realize that we already do this shit in real life all the time with minor criminals. And even then, they get more ridiculous names than most superheroes!
