'The Flash' sees two worlds collide for Barry

The Flash is creating a lot of noise before its arrival and rightfully so. The movie has been long in the making and has seen a plethora of ups and downs on its difficult road to the big screen. The feature is the Scarlet Speedster’s first stand-alone feature ever and cracks open the multiverse for a new age of heroes to take over the DC Universe.

Movie trailers for the Ezra Miller-led superhero movie give us a sneak peek at two different timelines Barry is going to traverse - distinguished by the presence of two different Batmans played by Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton.

The first timeline sees Barry and Ben Affleck’s Batman trying to save the city, while in the other one, we get to see a universe where Barry’s mother is alive and a version of him who never got his powers. In the different timelines, we see Barry along with Supergirl and Michael Keaton’s Batman taking General Zod head-on.

With amazing visuals and an adapted Flashpoint storyline, the feature seems really interesting. The Flash seems equal parts a story of its titular character as well as Keaton’s Batman. It has the right nostalgic factor with enough surprises thrown in to keep the story and the DC Universe going. One can expect it to be a thrilling adventure set in a different timeline bringing back the characters we love as well as introducing new ones.

The movie features Ezra Miller as Barry Allen/The Flash, Sasha Calle as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl, Michael Shannon as General Zod, Ron Livingston as Henry Allen, Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen, Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, and Antje Traue as Faora-Ul, along with Keaton and Affleck, who are set to reprise their respective roles as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

The Flash speeds into theaters on June 15.
