  • Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen Meets Another Flash in the Latest ‘The Flash’ Set Photos

    Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen Meets Another Flash in the Latest ‘The Flash’ Set Photos

    With plot details for the upcoming Flash solo film still under wraps, fans’ minds are racing to try to piece together just how the film will play out. With so many set photos leaked, we’ll be in for quite the surprise with this next installment in the DCEU. The film will see the return of Ezra Miller as the titular speedster. Following the events of Justice League, he has become Central City’s newest defender. After a brief meeting with Grant Gustin‘s Barry Allen during CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths event, he found his namesake.

    Set photos from The Flash seem to be a weekly occurrence at this point, with new looks at the film making us even more confused than we were before. Recent photos have seen Ezra alongside a double, who might also be playing a version of the Flash. Via the green pole attached to the back of the yellow coat double, it seems they might change his face through CGI. They’ll likely use Miller’s likeness for the double can be seen wearing the same flash ring. The context of the scene is still unknown, but the long hair and ring hint at one of them being from the future.

     

     

    While The Flash won’t be speeding into theaters for a while. We probably could expect a glimpse this October during DC Fandome. The film is most likely wrapping by then. The film is set to release in theaters on November 4th, 2022, and will be directed by Andy Muschietti. The film will star Ezra Miller, Sasha Calle, Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, and Maribel Verdú.

  • Leaked ‘The Flash’ Promo Reveals New Concept Art and Teases the ‘Flashpoint’-Inspired Storyline

    Leaked ‘The Flash’ Promo Reveals New Concept Art and Teases the ‘Flashpoint’-Inspired Storyline

    It looks like Comic-Con might have come early. A new video promo for Andy Muschietti‘s The Flash has leaked online, and it reveals quite a bit of new information about the long-delayed solo film. The video starts with franchise star Ezra Miller describing what he loves about his character’s powers. Namely, the fact that a single ability, his famous super-speed, can translate into several different abilities, such as creating tornadoes or traveling through time. They showcase the new concept art of Flash saving a baby in mid-air. Miller then gives confirmation on a detail that’s been rumored since production on the film began: there will be multiple Batmen in the film. Ben Affleck‘s name is not specified.

    Director Muschietti eventually takes over, referring to the team of Sasha Calle‘s Supergirl, Miller‘s Flash, and Michael Keaton‘s Batman as a ragtag Justice League. He claims that the group of underdogs is going to save the world as the brand new concept art of Supergirl and Keaton‘s Batman is shown. Supergirl stands on a roof next to Barry with her cape flowing and takes flight to combat an unknown threat. Barry rides in the back of the Batmobile as a “spoiler alert” sign covers up another figure alongside him.

    The mysterious new face might belong to that of the figure huddled for safety, possibly the de-powered version of Kal-El from the Flashpoint comic series. It’s also possible the figure under the sign is Wonder Woman, as pausing the footage at the right moment reveals some familiar armored boots and the tip of an equally familiar sword. It’s uncertain how this found its way online, but there is a chance it was prepared for this year’s DC FanDome and a test version of the footage was leaked online.

  • ‘The Flash’ Set Photos Tease Ezra Miller Wearing a Familiar Ring

    ‘The Flash’ Set Photos Tease Ezra Miller Wearing a Familiar Ring

    It has been quite a day for set photos from the upcoming The Flash film. Not only did we get a first full look at Sasha Calle‘s Supergirl costume, but we even got a glimpse of Michael Keaton returning as Bruce Wayne on set. It doesn’t end there, as we also have some set photos offering a closer look at Ezra Miller with a very peculiar object on his hand. Now, during DC FanDome we found out that Michael Keaton‘s Batman will help him design a brand new suit. Well, one of the set photos, as shared by @bigscreenleaks offers a glimpse at a rather familiar golden ring to comic readers.

    https://twitter.com/bigscreenleaks/status/1406652802559008771

    The ring seems to have a very classic look and might be part of that development process for his new suit. When we are first introduced to the DCEU’s version of the character, his suit is very bulky and was quite complex in design. DC FanDome revealed a sleeker design, which seems heavily inspired by the 1991 Batman suit. It’ll be interesting to see if we get a glimpse of the new costume in future set photos, as they continue to film in an open location.

    It currently seems to be taking place in Central City, but the clothes seem to fit better in a future version of Gotham that we saw in the classic Tim Burton films. Michael Keaton‘s sighting on the film’s set opens up the question of which part of the multiverse this takes place in. Whatever is the case, it’s going to be quite a spectacle once the film finally releases after getting delayed on multiple occasions.

  • Michael Keaton Sighted in Latest ‘The Flash’ Set Photos

    Michael Keaton Sighted in Latest ‘The Flash’ Set Photos

    It looks like the set photos aren’t stopping anytime soon for the upcoming The Flash film. The upcoming entry will bring back Michael Keaton in the role of Batman, which he hasn’t played since the 1992 film Batman Returns. We still don’t know how he will find his way into the multiverse or what role Keaton’s Wayne might have, but the latest set photos offer our first glimpse at the actor, who seems to be sporting a very familiar look. Twitter user @bigscreenleaks uploaded an image offering our first look at the actor on set. Seems they tried to replicate his hair from the original Tim Burton films, but with a silver fox look.

    https://twitter.com/bigscreenleaks/status/1406648296907608065

    What is interesting to note is that he seems to be in the same location where Ezra Miller‘s Barry Allen and Kiersey Clemons‘ Iris West are filming.

    https://twitter.com/bigscreenleaks/status/1406628352790872067

    As these photos are surfacing around the same time as our first look at Sasha Calle’s Supergirl, it may imply that Keaton‘s Batman is around in the mainline universe. So, perhaps Barry accidentally altered the timeline that he took Ben Affleck‘s place, or he somehow dragged Iris into the mss. There were images showcasing an ad for Central City featuring Gal Gadot‘s Wonder Woman, so it seems more likely that this incarnation of Batman may have ended up in the wrong dimension. Who says time travel and the existence of a multiverse isn’t confusing at all.

  • New ‘The Flash’ Set Photos Offer First Full Look at Sasha Calle’s Supergirl

    New ‘The Flash’ Set Photos Offer First Full Look at Sasha Calle’s Supergirl

    It seems we finally got a closer look at Supergirl’s new costume for the upcoming The Flash film. Twitter user @GothamAdam shared a high-res image that offers a full look at Sasha Calle as the classic heroine. We got a brief glimpse at her chest plate from director Andy Muschietti recently, but now we get a closer look at the costume in its entirety. The current version does not seem to include a cape and it is uncertain if it’ll get added in post, or they perhaps will have brief sequences of her without one. It was only a matter of time before they find their way online, as we already got glimpses of her from yesterday’s leaked set photos. either way, the costume seems strongly connected to Henry Cavill‘s design from Man of Steel, which continues to hint at her existence in the main timeline of the DCEU.

     

    Twitter user @bigscreenleaks shared more photos of the actress offering an even better look at the costume:

    https://twitter.com/bigscreenleaks/status/1406653704871219206

    The costume looks great and the emphasis on the red makes it stand out quite a bit. As John Sabato pointed out in his piece covering yesterday’s coverage, it seems they are going with a design that is strongly inspired by Lara-Lane Kent’s look from Injustice. It’s uncertain if she might actually be the daughter of Clark Kent in this universe or if they simply wanted to make her stand out from the blue-dominated look that the DCEU’s Superman wears. Either way, it’s a great look and we can’t wait to see Calle in action.

  • Latest ‘The Flash’ Set Photos Tease Supergirls DCEU Origin

    Latest ‘The Flash’ Set Photos Tease Supergirls DCEU Origin

    With quite a few films in production, the DCEU is finally preparing its next wave of films. But even with a stable slate, the current state of the DCEU is still quite a bit of a mess. For a while now, fans have wondered what the future will hold for Superman or Batman in the mainline universe. The only answers we’ve received from WB are reboots of the popular characters separate from the other films. Many fans hope to see the upcoming Flash film set the record straight and give us some definitive answers on the future of this universe. It seems some set photos may have given us exactly that.

    With The Flash currently filming in London, we were bound to get a few looks at the set via some passerby fans. One of the first things we saw from the set was a look at Sasha Calle in her Supergirl suit, being held up by wires as she made a classic superhero landing. The suit in question, which we got a brief look at previously, seems to be inspired by Lara-Lane Kent’s look in the Injustice storyline. The only difference is this one is sporting the DCEU Superman crest.

    In addition, some more set photos confirm that she is indeed in Central City and what appears to be a one that is set in the mainline DCEU. On the street, a bus can be seen with Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman placed next to an advertisement for the Central City Children’s fund.

    While plot details for The Flash are still very much under wraps, it seems that these set photos could hint at Calle’s Supergirl indeed being from the main universe and possibly filling in for Superman in his absence similar to Batman in Birds of Prey. Hopefully, The Flash will offer some sort of explanation for the absence of these iconic heroes and set the DCEU on a definitive path with a stable Justice League roster.

  • ‘The Flash’: Set Photos Offer First Look at Jordan Fischer as Impulse

    ‘The Flash’: Set Photos Offer First Look at Jordan Fischer as Impulse

    The Flash has been a staple in the comic book community since it first premiered back in 2014. The series follows the story of Barry Allen as he works to save the city from all sorts of meta-human or otherworldly threats. For the past seven seasons, The Flash has explored the speed force in many ways. It has introduced different speedsters including Jay Garrick, Reverse-Flash, Zoom, Jesse Quick, Kid Flash, and even Barry’s daughter, XS. In the upcoming 150th episode, the series will introduce Bart Allen, the wildly rambunctious descendant of Barry and Iris. As such, he also goes by the appropriate name of Impulse. Luckily, it seems the first images of his costume have found their way online.

     

    The character of Bart Allen will be played by Jordan Fisher. It looks like the suit is quite accurate, as it even sports the white and red color scheme with his iconic goggles. The series has taken a bit of departure with this interpretation of Bart, as he’s mostly known as the grandson of Barry. In the comics, he was from a doomed future and tried to make a new life. However, in this version of the character, he’ll be the second son of the couple alongside his sister Nora. Jessica Parker-Kennedy will reprise her role as XS in the upcoming 150th episode.

    Noticeable in the background is yet another appearance of Godspeed, a character whose been recurring since he first made his debut. We were first introduced to the character as XS faced off against the mysterious speedster. It’s possible the pair have come from the future to help Barry uncover the truth behind their Godspeed problem, who constantly leaves duplicates behind.

  • ‘The Flash’: Tom Cavanagh and Carlos Valdes Leaving the CW Show After Season 7

    ‘The Flash’: Tom Cavanagh and Carlos Valdes Leaving the CW Show After Season 7

    It looks like the seventh season of The Flash will end with quite a bit of change, as Deadline has just reported Tom Cavanagh and Carlos Valdes are leaving the show. The show will return for an eight-season but the cast will be cut down. Cavanagh played the show’s main antagonist Eobard Thawne, or better known as the Reverse-Flash. He did end his tenure as a series regular at the end of the sixth season but continued to make guest appearances. It seems that he has hinted at his exit in an Instagram post in February. Valdes played the character of Cisco Ramon, who was a series regular up until this point. Executive producer and showrunner Eric Wallace had the following to say on their exit:

    Tom and Carlos have been an integral part of our show for seven seasons, and will be greatly missed. Both are incredible talents who created beloved characters that fans and audiences around the world have come to love. Which is why we are happily keeping the door open for return appearances.

    They were part of the original six cast members alongside Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, and Danielle Panabaker. It seems that they are still actively negotiating their deal with Gustin signed up for the next season. Of course, losing these two is a major shift for the series and it’ll be interesting to see how the finale addresses their absence moving forward. There is always a chance that they could make an appearance later down the line, but it also depends on how many more seasons we can expect from the Scarlet Speedster’s run on CW.

  • First ‘The Flash’ Set Photos Reveal ‘Batman 1989’s Wayne Manor

    First ‘The Flash’ Set Photos Reveal ‘Batman 1989’s Wayne Manor

    After years of delays and rewrites, production on The Flash has finally begun. It has lost quite a few directors and writers along the way. It wasn’t until the film finally found its footing with writer Christina Hodson and director Andy Muschietti that it would finally get the ball rolling. It is set to feature the return of Ezra Miller‘s Barry Allen, as he begins to further understand his abilities and connection to the speed force. This newfound understanding would lead to the hero unraveling the multiverse. On the journey, the Flash is set to team up with one of the most iconic characters in comic book film history, Michael Keaton’s Batman. Luckily, the first set of photos have found their way online by @DCverso1 revealing an iconic manor.

    These set photos reveal the iconic Wayne Manor from the 1989 film. It seems they are once again filming at the Knebworth House in Hertfordshire. It is uncertain if this is purely for an exterior shot, but Warner Bros.’s presence is certainly eye-catching. The film is currently set to release in November of 2022. We’ve known for a while that Michael Keaton would make a return in the titular role for quite some time. Ben Affleck will also make his return in the upcoming film after reshooting some sequences for HBO Max’s Zack Snyder’s Justice League. It’ll be interesting to see if we get to revisit any other familiar Batman locations, such as Batman Begins‘ Wollaton Hall in Nottingham as Barry travels through the multiverse.

  • How ‘The Flash’ Could Introduce Earth-2’s The Wonders of The World

    How ‘The Flash’ Could Introduce Earth-2’s The Wonders of The World

    The concept of a multiverse is incredible. It leads to limitless potential and allows new stories to get told with similar characters. In a way, the creative choices are endless, especially when it comes to having an ever-expanding array of worlds. The multiverse seems like DC’s primary focus for the time being, as we’re already seen new worlds blossom. They have already explored the concept through the Arrowverse. Now, the films are embracing it with the mainline DCEU and The Batman. I believe there’s room for another franchise in this ever-expanding IP, the exploration of Earth-2.

    The current state of the DC Multiverse is a bit of a mess, to be honest. Some executives have said Earth-2 is the home of Matt Reeves’ The Batman. Yet, during the rebirth of the multiverse in CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths event, Stargirl and the Justice Society of America’s home was given that title. Luckily, there is one film that can clear the air on this mystery. It is the upcoming The Flash film by Andy Muschietti. For a brief history lesson, 1961’s The Flash #123 hit spinner racks around the country and introduced the multiverse to the DC Universe. It saw Barry Allen and Jay Garrick meet for the first time. I can’t think of a better film to introduce the multiverse to the DCEU than The Flash.

     

     

    On Earth-2 resides a team known as the Wonders of the World, an alternate version of the Justice League with a roster made up of Jay Garrick’s Flash, Alan Scott’s Green Lantern, Huntress, Val Zod, Thomas Wayne, Power Girl, and even a Red Tornado Android with the mind of Lois Lane. What first sparked this idea was the news of Micheal Keaton’s return to the cape and cowl, along with the recent reveal of Sasha Calle as Kara Zor-El. There is also the recent news of a Val-Zod-focused film in development, which helped build the connection. While these castings could be a coincidence, Keaton filling the role of Thomas Wayne and Calle as Power-Girl would fit considerably well.

    With the sudden eagerness to embrace the multiverse amongst their projects, introducing the Wonders would give them yet another franchise and world to play in. They could even take some more creative leaps with the characters. With the future of the Justice League still uncertain, the DCEU can rely on some of their other stronger teams, like the wonders and even the upcoming JSA, as they make their debut in Black Adam.
