The Flash will revolve around an unprecedented trio of superheroes, two-thirds different from the classicDC: well, the new posters are dedicated to these three characters.
In the first we see Flash ( Ezra Miller ) in the midst of the debris of what is probably the final battle. The second instead portrays Batman ( Michael Keaton ) in the Batcave with the Batmobile, the same as in Tim Burton ‘s films . In the third there is instead Supergirl ( Sasha Calle ) floating among the gargoyles of a balustrade: she could be Wayne Manor . Together, the heroes must stop General Zod ‘s ( Michael Shannon ) plans .
The first comments from the press arrived from the CinemaCon in Las Vegas , very 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 posters 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.
