New Flash Movie Details Are Extremely Revealing

For a superhero who runs so fast that he can vibrate through time, the Flash sure hasn't had a quick trip to the multiplex. Fans have been waiting for a solo movie starring Ezra Miller's incarnation of Scarlet Speedster Barry Allen since we last saw him on the big screen in 2017's theatrical cut of Justice League. Since then, a rotating creative team and shifting priorities at DC Entertainment have repeatedly pushed the Flash's turn in the spotlight further into the future. The biggest glimmer of hope for eager Flash fanatics came from the Arrowverse's Crisis on Infinite Earths event on the CW in January 2020, during which Miller briefly met TV Flash Grant Gustin in a delightful moment of multiverse collision.

Now, we're finally getting some real news about the solo Flash movie, and it seems that crossover cameo may have been far more than just fanservice. During the DC FanDome virtual event, Miller joined director Andy Muschietti, producer Barbara Muschietti, and screenwriter Christina Hodson to deliver some bite-sized "Flash Facts," teasing the movie's potential to open up the DC Multiverse and tie every existing depiction of DC's many worlds in to one continuity. Since The Flash has yet to go before cameras, the team had to get a little creative in hyping the project, which motivated them to show off a sneak peek at the Flash's flashy new suit.

Muschietti and company debuted the Flash's new suit via some pretty impressive concept art, undoubtedly a departure from the chunkier armor the character sported in Justice League.

That brings us back to The Flash's multiverse angle, as both Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton are confirmed to be reprising their roles as Batman for the film. Obviously, Barry's "friend" would be Affleck's Bruce Wayne, as the two fought side-by-side in Justice League.

But it's interesting to note that one of the concept illustrations shown during the discussion features a silhouette far more reminiscent of Keaton's 1989 Batsuit than Affleck's more recent stubby-eared cape and cowl. We'll have to wait and see just what kind of relationship the Flash has with each of these dueling Batmen, and how his new suit plays into their universe-busting bond. Keep watching to see how the New Flash Movie Details Are Extremely Revealing!
