Movie Premise
The Flash movie would follow the Flashpoint storyline – based on the hit crossover event from the comics in 2011. In the source material, Barry makes the decision to travel back in time so that he can try and prevent his mother’s murder, and while he winds up being successful, the Butterfly Effect/Chaos Theory results in the future being totally altered (for example, Bruce Wayne winds up getting killed in an alley behind a movie theater, and it results in Thomas Wayne becoming Batman while Martha Wayne goes insane and becomes The Joker).
Movie Release Date
No matter how fast we want The Flash‘s production to proceed, it’s still going to be a bit of a wait. The film is scheduled for a Nov. 4, 2022 release.
Movie Score
The movie score will be done by composer Benjamin Wallfisch, Mortal Kombat (2021).
Movie Trailer
There are no active movie trailers yet as the movie is still in development.
The History of the Flash
The first appearance of the Flash was in Flash Comics #1 (January 1940). The character was created by Gardner Fox and Harry Lampert. There have been several actors that have played him in cartoon and tv shows. These actors include Grant Gustin, John Wesley Shipp, Michael Rosenbaum, Ezra Miller, Alan Tudyk, Kyle Gallner, Jack Angel, Josh Keaton, Kenny Johnston, Neil Patrick Harris, Adam Devine, Justin Chambers, and Will Wheaton. The most popular versions of the superhero have been Jay Garrick, Wally West, and Barry Allen. The supposed origin of the Flash and his powers was that he ( Barry Allen) had been struck by a bolt of lightning. The powers and abilities include moving, thinking , and reacting at light speeds as well as having superhuman endurance that allows him to run incredible distances. The Flash can vibrate so fast that he can pass through walls in a process called quantum tunneling. He can travel through time and can also lend and borrow speed. He can also heal more rapidly than an average human. In addition, he also has an invisible aura around his body that protects him from air friction and the kinetic effects of his powers.
Until we get to see him on the big screen, you can follow the “scarlet speedster” on DC Universe Infinite and catch some of his screen appearances on HBO Max.
