CinemaCon is going on as we speak, which means lots of new trailers coming down the pike, including some big ones like the new Flash movie.

This is set to be the last hurrah for the DC Universe as begun by Zack Snyder in 2013’s Man of SteelThe Flash will star human wrecking ball Ezra Miller as Barry Allen, who uses his super-speed to travel the multiverse and change his traumatic past. Watch the trailer below:

People were crying at the first screening of The Flash

Warner Bros. Discovery screened an in-progress version of The Flash at the convention, and it seems to be going over well, at least with executives at theater chains. “I absolutely loved it,” Vue Cinemas exec Tim Richards, per Deadline. “It’s got heart, it’s got soul. You care about the characters. It’s going to be big. It’s great to see the whole Warner Bros. slate including comedies, horror and DC. Everything that our audiences are desperate for.” Another executive called it “one of the best DC films ever made.”

Kentucky-based exhibitor Rick Roman gave an assessment of the audience reaction: “The audience loved it. I thought it was very good — lots of humor. Emotional at the end with some people crying. I like how they brought in Batman to support the Flash. Smart move. The movie will have legs since people will see it more than once.”

The audience was mostly comprised of critics, who also had very nice things to say:

At least one didn’t let Miller off the hook for their behavior, albeit in a tongue-in-cheek way:

There were other trailers shown off at CinemaCon, including new ones for Aquaman and the Lost KingdomDune: Part 2, and Wonka, but thus far none of those have made their way online. Stay tuned.
