DC FanDome: The Flash movie sneak peek


Rumors have swirled about casting for the upcoming "Flash" movie, which will likely push the DCEU multiverse to its absolute limits. The prevailing theory is that this film will depict the "Flashpoint Paradox" story arc and serve as a virtual reset for the DC universe on the big screen. DC FanDome 2021 gave us the quickest of glimpses into what is to come... but first, Ezra Miller, ladies and gentlemen:




That is quite the look.

Let's break down what we saw in the tiny teaser:

  • A voiceover - sounds like Michael Keaton - asks Barry why, if he can go to any timeline or universe, why he stays to fight to save the one he's currently in.
  • A license plate informs us that Barry Allen is going home to Central City.
  • We see Barry, in costume, standing outside what we presume to be his childhood home. A second later, we see him inside the home, approaching a woman (probably his deceased mother) from behind. He touches her on the shoulder and startles her.
  • We see a quick cut of Michael Keaton's iconic Batman cowl on a bloody floor.
  • Barry approaches a body that seems to be suspended several feet in the air.
  • We see Barry spray painting and assembling a new superhero outfit, then get a nice shot of him, suited up, near a waterfall. Is that the Batcave?
  • Yeah, it's the Batcave. We see the head of Michael Keaton's Batman, from behind. Sweet! Barry, flanked by what could possibly be versions of The Flash from different timelines, asks, "Are you him?
  • Cut to the movie logo. Looks good.
  • In the final scene, we see Barry nervously looking around and approaching something covered with a sheet. That's the Batmobile, for sure. As he goes to pull the sheet off, the teaser ends.
"The Flash" is currently in production and will have a theatrical release sometime in 2022.

Here's the full teaser:
