It’s still not entirely clear if Calle’s Supergirl is Kara Zor-El or a different version of the character like Cir-El or Lara Lane Kent. It seems that Barry is assembling a team, possibly from different corners of the multiverse, and he’s trying to enlist Batman’s help for it. We get two very brief glimpses of Sasha Calle’s Supergirl in the trailer. Nor does it answer the question about… Supergirl So again, this still doesn’t answer the question of whether this other Barry is a native of the Keaton Batman’s Earth or someone he picked up along the way. What if the second Barry is Jay Garrick, and this is some bizarre variation on the “Flash of Two Worlds” story that first introduced the concept of the multiverse to DC in the first place? The design of Barry-2’s costume, which has blue highlights, a lightning bolt without a circle, and lightning bolts on the boots do seem to recall DC’s original Flash, Jay Garrick, ever so slightly. I’m going with the former, because of the aforementioned first shot in the footage…Īlthough there’s another possibility… Jay Garrick So does the above image of Barry and his mother take place on Earth-89, the same world where the Burton Batman movies take place, or is it after Barry has made another multiversal hop? Of course, he instead finds Keaton’s older Batman (in the comics he finds Thomas Wayne as Batman, but that’s another story entirely). And why wouldn’t he, right? Ben Affleck’s Batman is a friend and mentor to Barry in the DCEU, so he should go looking for him.
Now, it does appear that just like in the comics, Barry seeks out Bruce Wayne to help him make sense of his bizarre situation. In any case, we’re not too sure of what’s happening just yet.
FLASH POINT TIMELIME IN THE FLASH TV
The other possibility (and the one we’ve seen in both the comics and TV versions of Flashpoint) is that this is Barry waking up after he has changed the past, and he is surprised to find himself in a reality where his mother is still alive. Now, as far as The Flashmovie is concerned, it’s not clear if Barry is looking to change the past, or if he’s merely exploring the multiverse in an attempt to reconnect with his mother, as we see in this next shot, which appears to show a tentative Barry sneaking up on an unsuspecting Nora Allen. In doing so, he changes the present, and finds himself in a present that is slightly different than the one he is familiar with. Once Barry realizes that he has the ability to use his speed to travel through time (as we saw at the conclusion of Zack Snyder’s Justice League), he decides to change the past by preventing his mother’s murder. And he’s right, because it was Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash, who had come back from the future to murder the mother of his greatest foe. A crime he says he didn’t commit and also one that Barry doesn’t believe he was responsible for, either. Why is this significant? Well, as established in Flashpoint (and also in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League) Barry’s mother was mysteriously murdered here, and his father was sent to jail for the crime. Here we have Barry Allen, in this incredibly sharp and badass new DCEU Flash costume lurking apparently in front of his childhood home.
FLASH POINT TIMELIME IN THE FLASH MOVIE
Potential spoilers for The Flash movie from here on out! Hell, it’s possible that this Bruce has never even encountered a speedster before.īut first, let’s just talk about some of these Flashpoint parallels… The very first shot of the footage is of Barry Allen arriving by cab to the same Wayne Manor we saw in Burton’s first Batman film, and throughout the trailer we hear Keaton’s Bruce Wayne interrogating Barry about his multiverse-hopping shenanigans. Sure, the big headline is the fact that Michael Keaton is indeed back as Batman, and it seems that a chunk of this film takes place in the corner of the DC multiverse that Tim Burton’s Batman movies happened in.
We’ve long known that this film would take at least some inspiration from the Flashpoint comics story (which was also adapted for the third season of the TV series), but it seems that there’s a little bit more to it than that. The first footage from Andy Muschietti’s hotly anticipated The Flash movie arrived at DC FanDome and folks, it is quite a ride.
