The story of DCEU (now DCU) in 2022 has been one full of ups and downs. The hype for DC comics inspired movies was rising after The Suicide Squad, The Batman, and Peacemaker and with Henry Cavill’s cameo in Black Adam, the hype reached peak! But unfortunately the year ended with a disaster for them. Fans lost their faith in WB after James Gunn and Peter Safran announced their plans which brought cancellation of many DC project. That aside, their plans didn’t have any space for Henry Cavil, Gal Gadot, Ben Affleck and the already established DCEU. This led to speculations that The Flash will completely reset the DC Universe but is it true? Read on to find out as we have for you the latest leaks about The Flash 2022 movie starring Ezra Miller.
The Flash Plot Leaked – Everyone vs General Zod
We couldn’t find the exact source for these leaks but we encountered it here on Twitter. As it happens, they look pretty legit and also overlap the original leaks from test screenings last year. This is not a scene by scene leak of the film but rather presents the leaks in a review form. So, without further ado, let’s begin.
There’s 100% a tease for Reverse Flash, when Barry’s mom is killed, a yellow figure smiles at Barry and lunges at him, Barry escapes before the yellow figure can get to him. No actor or voice, it’s pretty hard to make the figure out because he’s just standing in the dark and you can only see his yellow arm and his red eyes. The emotional parts in the film are good, and Ezra has amazing chemistry with the woman who plays Barry’s mom and its being said that people started crying when Barry realized he couldn’t save her. It’s a lot better than the one in the CW according to the leaker.
Moving on, Black Flash is not really the villain of the film, it is Future Flash (wearing Black Flash suit). They kind of merged the 2 characters, it’s essentially Future Flash just wearing Black Flash’s suit. There are 3 Barry’s in the film and the Barry we see in the trailers (long hair) gets brutally killed by Evil Barry (Future Flash, who is also him from the future. The film’s Future Flash is an amalgam of the comics’ versions of Future Flash and Black Flash. The future Flash is actually just the 2nd Barry (long hair) but from the future. His motivation is that when DCEU Barry came to his universe, he ruined everything and destroyed his world. He had gotten obsessed into saving his world and keeps trying to reverse time from it getting destroyed but it fails. So he decided to go after the person who caused this, our Barry.
Future Flash spent 10 years trying to reverse time and figure out a safe way to stop Zod (Michael Shannon) from destroying his world. Barry was about to go back in time but someone(future Barry) tried to kill him and accidentally knocked him out of the speed force, into an alternate universe, Keaton’s world. Sasha Calle Supergirl is one of the best parts of the movie, with some calling it the best performance in the movie Barry 1 (our Barry) got stuck in Keaton’s world and finds Barry 2 who also has flash powers and they both get Keaton Batman and Supergirl to fight a threat. They lose and Barry 1 & 2 try to reverse time to save the universe but it fails.
Barry 1 gives up but Barry 2 doesn’t. That’s when Future Flash(Future Barry 2) appears, revealing he tried to repeat time multiple times but it failed. So instead of repeating time to stop this incident, he enters the speed force to try and kill the person who caused this in the first place, Barry 1. The way Ezra’s Barry is portrayed in the film has him act more like a Wally/Bart hybrid then he does Barry in some scenes. Apart from some scenes, Ezra acts a bit like comic Barry. He gets the heart and essence of the character right and only acts like a Wally/Bart hybrid in some scenes (mostly the humor parts). Like freaking out like a fangirl when he sees the Batmobile.
Leaker says that audiences are gonna love Ezra as Barry more than they did in both Justice League movies. Zod successfully kills Keaton’s Batman and Supergirl. Supergirl gets her neck snapped, which is actually pretty brutal. Worse than when Superman snapped Zod’s. Zod kills Cavill’s Superman as a baby, which confirms that “killing super baby leak” is indeed true. Michael Shannon reprises his role as Zod. Cage is also not Superman in Keaton’s world, it’s Cavill before he gets killed as a baby by Zod. Future Flash and Flash have a massive race because Future Flash wants to kill him. When they do that, they travel into the multiverse. We see a load of different universes including Pattinson’s Batman universe, Lynda Carter Wonder Woman, Adam West Batman, Grant Gustin Flash, etc.
Superman’s existence is left somewhat ambiguous. Any film and tv show (including Peacemaker) released between Man of Steel and Shazam 2 are set in the old timeline but the upcoming Shazam 2, and Aquaman 2 (potentially since Mamoa has been sacked as well) are set in the old timeline. Everything after The Flash is set in the new timeline including Blue Beetle, Green Lantern, Zatanna, Batgirl etc. Moving on, Iris is only a cameo in this movie, she only appears at the end when Barry’s father is released from prison. WB’s apparent plan is to use Pattinson in Crisis storyline, but nothing much about is known whether he will join the DCEU full-time afterwards.
Person said the blonde girl who got casted in The Flash [Saoirse-Monica Jackson] could be playing either a gender bent Mirror Master or Killer Frost but that’s them guessing because they genuinely don’t know. That reminds us to tell you, don’t expect any wild cameos, and keep your expectations low. The leaker thinks that the overall film will not only be beloved by general audiences, but hardcore Flash fans as well. The Flash feels more like a classic fiction adventure in the vein of stories like Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz than a typical superhero movie. As for Ben Affleck’s Batman, Batfleck doesn’t die but isn’t part of the new timeline and has been sacked by DC. Lastly, there is no reference to Wally whatsoever, from what we’ve heard.
