‘The Flash’ is set to hit theaters on June 16, 2023.
In ‘The Flash,’ Ezra Miller‘s Barry Allen learns from his past mistakes and realizes he can’t keep changing the timeline. He tries to fix one thing by exonerating his father, but it leads him to a universe where George Clooney‘s Batman exists. Barry accepts this new reality, and the film ends with him living in what fans call the “Clooney Verse.” It’s separate from the main DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The post-credits scene with Aquaman also takes place in the “Clooney Verse.” The projects “Blue Beetle” and “Creature Commandos” will be the first set in the main DCU.
‘The Flash’ Film Ending: Barry Allen Accepts the “Clooney Verse” and Learns from His Mistakes
If Barry wants Batfleck back, all he has to do is undo the last thing he did, but he’s not going to because his father will end up in prison again. So instead, Barry just accepts that he is now living in the “Clooney Verse.”
The film is tracking to earn between $115 million–$140 million during its opening weekend at the domestic box office. The Flash, directed by Andy Muschietti and written by Christina Hodson, the plot is based on the comic book storyline “Flashpoint,” and follows: Worlds collide when the Flash uses his superpowers to travel back in time to change the events of the past. However, when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, he becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation. With no other superheroes to turn to, the Flash looks to coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian—albeit not the one he’s looking for. Read our review.
