THE FLASH MOVIE SUPER BOWL TRAILER TEASES MULTIPLE BATMEN!
Worlds collide in our first proper look at The Flash when the first Official Trailer and Big Game TV Spot arrived during the Super Bowl – teasing multiple Batmen and an epic time twisting multiverse style adventure for the DC Universe!
Ezra Miller stars as the Scarlet Speedster in The Flash, directed by Andy Muschietti. When Barry Allen uses his superpowers to travel back in time to change the events of the past, his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future! Trapped on a world without Superheroes, Flash must coax a certain Dark Knight out of retirement and rescue a Kryptonian…. but not quite the one he was expecting! But in order to right the time line and save the universe Barry will be faced with making the ultimate sacrifice!
It seem the Flash with feature no less than two Batmen: Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck, who both back to reprise their iconic roles as the Dark Knight! Sasha Calle also debuts as Supergirl, Kiersey Clemons is back as Iris West, Ron Livingston plays Henry Allen, and Michael Shannon also returns as Zod! , and just shows how badly. Despite all the major change at DC Studios and the controversy surrounding Ezra Miller I’m still pretty excited about this movie – mostly because Keaton is back as Batman! According to James Gunn, The Flash is reportedly “one of the greatest superhero movies ever made” and will reboot the entire DCU to usher in Gunn’s new era for the DC movies.
The Flash movie arrives in theaters on June 16th!

What’s the controversy around miller?
The actor has been a subject of a series of allegations and he was also recently given a felony burglary charge.
Ohhh, that’s not good. Thanks for filling me in.
The storyline does look promising, but Miller’s involvement sets my teeth on edge. I hope this is it for his involvment with the DC franchise.
It sure looks exciting. The prospect of seeing Keaton return as Batman was what’s always kept my interest in this move, so hyped for his role in the Flash movie. Sadly, Miller’s recent actions have cast a dark cloud over what should have been an epic movie event for the DCU. I think it will still be a big movie, but I expect Miller’s time with the DC franchise is now at an end.
Exciting to see the return of Keaton. Affleck could be good too. So many Batmen… and what with Robert Pattinson’s recent and most excellent turn in the role (I hope they develop that!), surely something for everyone in the future?
I really excited to see Keaton return as Batman in The Flash movie. Going to be cool to see Affleck again as well. I liked Patterson’s turn as Batman so who knows, as this is a multiverse style story anything, and potentially anyone, could show up… We shall have to wait and see. The Flash movie will reboot the DC films for James Gunns new era, so certainly going to be some exciting times ahead!
This was one terrific trailer which actually got me excited for the film. Of course the film does signal the end of the DCEU and Cavill and Gadot’s involvement going forward. If Gunn was going for a reboot it should be a complete one, because it just looks like he picked the aspects that he liked or was involved with. But anyway the Flash does bring back both Batmen and that warrents a celebration!
I was blown away by this trailer, especially when Keaton shows up as Batman, that gave me goosebumps! Yes, The Flash movie will serve as a reboot point and the DCEU comes to an end. Still, James Gunn’s plans for the future of the DC movies has lots of potential to look forward to. The return of the Batmen is sure to make The Flash movie a must-see event for DC fans.
Side-stepping all the controversy and leaving my cynical side behind, Keaton back as BATMAN is the draw for me. It’s just a shame we have to put up with not one but TWO Ezras in this film. Ah well, at least we also get some BatFleck. I’m excited too, Paul!
I agree, all the Ezra stuff aside, I’m just so hyped to see Keaton return as Batman. It’s always been the main thing that’s kept me interested in The Flash movie TBH. Cool we will have Bat Fleck there as well. Supergirl looks pretty awesome too. Who knows, maybe there will be a few more surprises in store, especially as this will be a multiverse kind of movie? Whatever happens, I expect The Flash movie will be one of the big events of the year.
As a huge DC fan, I’ve been giddy since watching the trailer and I can’t stop rewatching it. The Ezra controversy cannot be ignored but if they are authentically on the path to recovery, then I am also all for giving people chances.
June suddenly seems such a long wait… !
I was blown away how good the trailer was as well, especially when Keaton shows up as Batman. That gave me goosebumps! Yes, it’s a shame all the Ezra controversy will probably tarnish this movie, but hopefully it will still be a good film fans will be able to enjoy. The Flash movie is going to be a major reset point for the DC film franchise, and I’m confident that James Gunn’s vision for the DCU will be just as, if not even more exciting.
Funny, I just re-watched the animated Flashpoint Paradox a week or two ago. Looks like the plot of this movie will be based to a great extent on Flashpoint. Flash goes back in time to save his Mom but in so doing alters the universe. If both Marvel and DC have multiverses, that would make for a multi-multiverse, right?
Yes, that’s right, the film is very much based on the Flashpoint storyline. Marvel and DC do indeed have their own multiverse concepts. The Flash movie will also be a reboot point for the whole DCU, and will pave the way for James Gunn’s new era of DC movies.
Oh man, I’m excited for this, despite all the criminal/mediatic shitstorm that’s around Ezra Miller. I’m glad that a Flashpoint-inspired story will be made and allow the DC Universe to be properly reset for the better. I’m 2000% going to stand up from my seat if Bale makes a cameo in this too. It would be one of the most insane things ever!!!! I hope we get a good reset out of this, Paul! 😀
Me too, it’s a shame all the Ezra stuff has cast a cloud over it. Flashpoint is an excellent basis for the films premise and I’m sure it will be the reboot point the DCU needs to get it back on track. LOL, me as well, would be epic if Bale showed up too! 🙂
This movie looks like it could be good, but I don’t feel like giving any money to any movie that features Ezra Miller. Not after all of the kidnappings, hostage taking, child luring stuff he’s been accused of doing. Not to mention multiple cases of assault where there is evidence readily available online. Didn’t see the third Fantastic Beasts movie for the same reason.
I’ll at least look forward to hearing about Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck sharing screen time as the same character. Surely they wouldn’t blow that opportunity.
That and I’m pretty sure most people would agree that the DC’s previous attempt at a shared universe ended up as a complete mess, even if there were a handful of good movies in there. A reboot is pretty much needed at this point.
I do agree that all the Ezra allegations ect will inevitably cast a cloud over this movie. It’s understandable people are divided about seeing this film. I will still see it, mostly because Keaton is back as Batman, along with Affleck. That has always been the biggest draw for me with this movie anyway. This movie will also be the reboot point that the DC films have needed for some time.
TWO Batmans! This sounds really intriguing – and I’m glad one of the Batmans (Batmen?) is Michael Keaton.
That’s right. Michael Keaton is indeed returning to his role as Batman. He’s always been my favourite version of the Dark Knight and I love the Tim Burton Batman films, so really hyped to see Keaton back as Batman. Going to be awesome to see Ben Affleck back as well.
