Pass 2/3

Aside from the world's worst birthday party, this movie features several intersting female characters. This includes Flash's mother Nora, Iris West,Wonder Woman, and a version of Lois Lane that makes Lara Croft look like a Dawn from Buffy. They have plot-significance and agency in a variety of roles.

In the bad timeline Iris talks with her daughter in the about her with day with her father. Wonder Woman also discusses interrogating and killing Steve Trevor and Lois Lane with her female amazons, but Trevor was always involved. There's never quite a conversation that passes the test.

Andrew Li disagreed with the rating and said:
Should be 3/3 if barely. Diana and Persephone, the Amazon lieutenant, speak very briefly about capturing Lois Lane. This is one part of their discussion that does not include Steve Trevor.

Diana: He will fail. Now, find me this Lois Lane.

Persephone: Yes, my queen. May I deal with the prisoner for you?

So by an extremely literal view of the Bechdel test, two named women briefly talk to each other about something besides a man.
