![]() A world-threatening disaster looms – one that will be familiar to those who saw a certain DC-verse film in 2016 – but for some reason, the person who ought to be saving our planet is missing in action. Since this is in the trailers, it’s not a spoiler to say he meets his college-aged self (also played by Miller). Barry thinks if he changes one small detail, the murder will never happen, Mom will live, and Dad will remain a free man.īarry succeeds in this, but he gets trapped in 2016. In other words, he can go back in time.īarry’s mother Nora (Meribel Verdú) was murdered when he was a little boy, and his father Henry (Ron Livingston) was wrongly convicted of the crime and has been locked up ever since. But in the aftermath of one particularly harrowing (yet funny) crisis, Barry discovers that he can run faster than the speed of light. Other members of the team are Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Cyborg.īarry has more or less accepted his role as the figurative “janitor” of the group, designated to deal with matters that Batman believes aren’t urgent enough to require him or Superman. ![]() The Justice League at the point is headed by Bruce Wayne/Batman (Ben Affleck, who previously played the character in both BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE and JUSTICE LEAGUE).

THE FLASH is set in the DC Cinematic Universe, with Ezra Miller reprising their JUSTICE LEAGUE role as Barry Allen. However, since a good chunk of the audience for THE FLASH has likely seen the recent animated SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE and a lot of the live-action Marvel features where somebody attempts to alter the past, it’s hard not to recall one while watching the other. THE FLASH is the current DC movie-verse’s first foray into time travel (the DC TV-verse is a different entity). The mythologies share some similarities, but are not technically related. Yes, the SPIDER-MAN movies belong to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while THE FLASH is part of the DC pantheon. Just when we kind-of-maybe got our heads around the multiverse and time travel (thank you, SPIDER-FILMS), here’s the feature film THE FLASH to make us contemplate the paradoxes all over again. ![]() ![]() Writer: Christina Hodson, screen story by Joby Harold, based on the DC Comics by Gardner Fox and Harry Lampert Stars: Ezra Miller, Michael Keaton, Sasha Calle, Ben Affleck, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston, Antje Traue, Kiersey Clemons, Meribel Verdú THE FLASH movie poster | ©2023 Warner Bros./DC ![]()
