Warner Bros. Pictures has released a brand new trailer for The Flash at CinemaCon 2023 and, alongside featuring Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck’s Batmen and Sasha Calle’s Supergirl, it very much shows the consequences of trying to change the past.
The action-packed trailer can be seen below in all its glory ahead of The Flash’s arrival in theaters on June 16, 2023.
The trailer begins with Keaton talking about losing his parents and how the pain of that even made him who he is. He spent his whole life trying to “right the wrongs of his past, as if fighting crime would bring my parents back.” He then looks at Miller’s Barry Allen and says, “you actually did it.”
What follows is a look at the cost of Allen “succeeding.” He admits he thinks he ‘broke the universe,” and this is seen by the return of General Zod. Alongside emotional scenes between various characters, we get Affleck’s Bruce Wayne saying, “These scars we have, they make us who we are. We weren’t meant to go back and fix them. Don’t let your tragedy define you.”
In perhaps the best moment for fans of Keaton’s Batman, we see him say his famous line from 1989’s Batman, “You want to get nuts?! Let’s get nuts.”
Warner Bros. Pictures also shared a new poster for The Flash that features Miller’s Flash, Keaton’s Batman, and Calle’s Supergirl, and you can see it below.
“Worlds collide in ‘The Flash’ when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past,” The official description reads. “But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he’s looking for.
“Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?”
The Flash’s road to theaters has not been the smoothest one as, apart from multiple delays and directors, its star Ezra Miller has been in legal trouble over allegations of throwing a chair at a woman, grooming minors, and others in Hawaii, Massachusetts, and North Dakota. They have since apologized and said they are suffering from “complex mental health issues.”
DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has called this film “extraordinary,” but he isn’t quite ready to say one way or another if Miller will be staying on as the Flash after this film in the new DCU.
