Michael Keaton returns as Batman in official poster for The Flash
By Dan Selcke
Yesterday, during the Super Bowl, Warner Bros. Discovery gave us our first glimpse of the trailer for The Flash, the long-in-coming superhero movie starring Ezra Miller as the titular speedster. This film has encountered a lot of bumps in the road, including the slow dissolution of the DC Extended Universe as we knew it and Miller’s bizarre embrace of a life of crime (for a minute there, they’ve been quieter lately). But the movie is coming! And we have the new character posters to prove it.
Warner Bros. Discovery released these today, and they’re pretty nifty. Let’s start with the hero of the hour, the Flash, played by Ezra Miller:
The Flash movie will involve Barry Allen going on a multiversal journey and meeting alternate universe versions of himself. He’ll also encounter multiple Batman, including Ben Affleck back for one final turn as the Caped Crusader.

The Flash will also introduce us to Sasha Calle as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl:
The Flash zips into theaters on June 16. It may be the last movie in the DCEU as it was under Zack Snyder. Going forward, there are a pair of new sheriffs in town: James Gunn and Peter Safran. It’s unclear if Miller will stay on as the Flash, but considering how much Gunn and Safran have been cleaning house, we wouldn’t bet on it.
