At Super Bowl 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery released a trailer for The Flash, which caused a lot of fan discussion. The movie’s first major crossover event since the two versions of Justice League was demonstrated by a few characters in the trailer.
Even though The Flash is primarily about Barry Allen (Ezra Miller), it also features cameos and supporting roles for a number of DC characters. Additionally, given that the film is a loose adaptation of the Flashpoint comic book storyline, it was inevitable that it would feature multiple characters. The trailer has revealed half of the characters, but test screenings and merchandise releases have also revealed additional cameos.
From Bruce Wayne played by Ben Affleck to a Game of Thrones star making a brief cameo: Each character in Batman and Alfred of The Flash DC Universe
Ben Affleck will make his final appearance in DC Universe. Jeremy Irons will also reprise his role as Alfred for the final time. Due to the emotional nature of his conversation with Barry and its significance to the plot, Batfleck will play a significant role in the first act. In addition, he will appear in a comic-book-inspired dark blue and gray suit in an action sequence on his brand-new Batcycle.
He was originally scheduled to return at the movie’s conclusion once Barry had altered the timeline to some extent. As a result, his scene would have set up a sequel in which Barry would have gone looking for him and the others in The Flash 2. He and the others would have been stuck somewhere in the multiverse. However, James Gunn is introducing a new Batman, so this sequel setup will not be used.
Michael Keaton’s Batman
This film uses Michael Keaton’s Bruce Wayne as the older Batman to guide Barry rather than following the actual Flashpoint storyline, in which Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Thomas Wayne would have transformed into Batman. In anticipation of his adventures in Batman Returns, he has several Batsuits in his armory.
Walter Hamada, the former head of DC, originally intended for Bruce Wayne, played by Michael Keaton, to become a permanent member of the DC Universe. He would have continued with a brief appearance in Batgirl and a cameo in Aquaman 2. However, Batgirl was canceled, and Michael Keaton will no longer make an appearance in DC due to James Gunn’s new Batman in The Flash.
Dark Flash
This film not only features Barry Allen who is 18 years old and comes from a different time period, but it also features a third Flash as the real villain. A Dark Flash is expected to appear, not the Reverse Flash from the original Flashpoint storyline. Furthermore, his appearance was ruined by merchandise leaks.
The trailer also includes a moment in which Barry, then 18, double-kicks the antagonist. Additionally, it has been suggested that Kryptonian metal is used to make Dark Flash’s suit.
Supergirl
Kara Zor-El, who takes Clark Kent’s place, is played by Sasha Calle. Kent’s human parents never raised him in Smallville in the Flashpoint comics storyline. He was apprehended by the government and subjected to constant experiments.
However, Kara was the one who was sent to Earth in the movie when Krypton was destroyed. She was not discovered by a kind couple like Jonathan and Martha Kent as soon as she arrived on Earth. She was found by the government, and they locked her up so they could test her. After that, Batman and the two Barry Allens go to the lab where she was caught to free her.
General Zod
Zod’s arrival on Earth is postponed following Barry’s alteration of the timeline by saving his mother. In addition to him, Faora is rumored to make an appearance in the movie. They only recently arrive on Earth. This live-action Flashpoint story features a battle between Zod and Supergirl rather than a final battle between Atlantis and Themiscyra.
Past superhero cameos
Twitter user @UndercoverCine is well-known for sharing story details from test screenings of particular films. All of the plot details that were revealed during the test screening of The Flash last year match up with what is shown in the most recent trailer, so readers are advised to take this information with a grain of salt.
Additionally, they made public all cameos. The space-time continuum begins to break down when Barry travels back in time. Barry first encounters heroes from various worlds here.
Digitally aged characters like Superman played by Christopher Reeves, Batman played by Adam West, Supergirl played by Helen Slater, and Wonder Woman played by Linda Carter make cameo appearances. In addition to them, there is a Superman character with a blurry face, which is likely to include James Gunn’s new Superman.
