After the character posters , a banner of The Flash leaked online depicting the Flash ( Ezra Miller ), Supergirl ( Sasha Calle ), Batman ( Michael Keaton ) and Barry #2 (also Ezra Miller ).
The latter wears a Bat Man costume repainted for the occasion.
The new extended spot in the official version is also available. As we know, the Scarlet Runner goes back in time to save his mother Nora ( Maribel Verdú ), but his intervention on the timeline gives rise to a very different reality. With Batman and Supergirl , the hero will have to stop the invasion of General Zod ( Michael Shannon ).
The first press comments from CinemaCon, where the world premiere of the cinecomic took place, are decidedly enthusiastic. Even James Gunn – new head of DC Studios with Peter Safran – spoke of it as “one of the best superhero films ever”. We’ll see. Meanwhile, remember that the release in Italian theaters is scheduled for June 15th .
You will find the banner and the spot below.

Flashpoints
The film is inspired by Flashpoint . In the comics, Barry Allen goes back in time to prevent the murder of his mother Nora , and distorts the timeline of the DC universe , finding himself in a very different present: in this timeline , he never became the Flash and Earth lives a deep crisis situation, also because many superheroes are no longer superheroes; Wonder Woman and the Amazons, for example, have conquered the United Kingdom, while Aquaman has devastated Western Europe with a tidal wave to annex it to his rule. Batman exists, but behind his mask is Thomas Wayne, not his son Bruce , who was killed during the infamous robbery. However, it will not be a faithful transposition, as we already know.
Director and cast
The screenplay is by Christina Hodson ( Bumblebee , Birds of Prey ), while the direction is handled by Andrés Muschietti ( La Madre, IT ). The cast includes Ezra Miller ( Barry Allen / Flash ), Kiersey Clemons ( Iris West , historic romantic interest of Barry ), Maribel Verdú ( Nora Allen , mother of Barry ), Michael Keaton ( Tim Burton ‘s Batman ), Ben Affleck (the Batman byZack Snyder ), Sasha Calle ( Supergirl ), Michael Shannon ( Zod ), Ron Livingston ( Henry Allen ), Saoirse-Monica Jackson , Rudy Mancuso and Ian Loh ( Barry child).
A troubled project
Seth Grahame-Smith , Rick Famuyiwa and the duo of Jonathan M. Goldstein and John Francis Daley took turns directing the project , before coming to Muschietti .
Flash to the cinema
Meanwhile, Ezra Miller played the Scarlet Sprinter in Justice League . However, Barry Allen ‘s film debut took place in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice , where he appeared in a double cameo.
