The Flash Super Bowl Trailer Teases DC Multiverse Madness

May 27, 2023


Super Bowl Sunday has gifted us our latest look at the upcoming comic book movie outing, The Flash, revealing Ezra Miller as the titular super-speedster and teasing the madness of the DC multiverse. Released courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures, audiences have waited patiently for the long-delayed solo outing of The Flash. And all that patience has now finally paid off. Check out the newly released trailer for The Flash below.

The official synopsis for The Flash reads:

“Worlds collide in “The Flash” when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he’s looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?”

Directed by Andy Muschietti from a screenplay by Christina Hodson, The Flash will take major inspiration from the DC comic book arc, Flashpoint and sees the multiverse collapse after Barry Allen travels back in time in an attempt to prevent his mother’s murder. But, of course, messing with the madness of the multiverse never works out how these heroes hope, and Barry’s actions bring unintended consequences not only to his timeline, but all the timelines.

The Flash finds Zack Snyder’s Justice League star Ezra Miller reprising the role of Barry Allen, aka The Flash, alongside Ron Livingston as Henry Allen, Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen, Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, Sasha Calle as Supergirl, Michael Shannon as General Zod, and Antje Traue as Faora-Ul.

The Flash will also feature two versions of The Dark Knight, with Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice star Ben Affleck due to reprise his role as Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, alongside Michael Keaton, who will once again don the cape and cowl after more than three decades.

The Flash Brings Back Michael Keaton as Batman

Warner Bros. Pictures

One of the most exciting elements of The Flash is the return of Batman Returns star Michael Keaton as an aged version of the Caped Crusader. Keaton will step back into the role after 30 years, with the actor revealing what it was like to slip into the black rubber bodysuit all over again after all this time. Somewhat surprisingly, it all fit rather well. “It was shockingly normal. It was weird. Like I went, ‘Oh, oh yeah, that’s right,’” Keaton explained. “But also then you start to play the scenes, and it was a lot of memories, a lot of interesting sense memories.”

While he has previously revealed his confusion regarding cinematic multiverses, Keaton had a blast coming back as Batman and has heaped praise on director Andy Muschietti. “When it came around again first of all I was getting curious about it. I thought, ‘Boy, what would that be like?’ And then, coincidentally, there were murmurs, and I got a call from Warner Bros,” the actor said. “They wanted to talk to me about something and there was hints of Batman. It has to be good. There’s no reason to do it if it’s not good. It’s not gonna really change anything. And I just jumped in and had fun. And why would you not? You know, I mean, director Andy Muschietti is fantastic, and he’s really creative. I don’t know. It’s fun.”

The Flash is scheduled to be released in the United States on June 16.
