The Flash (Super Bowl Spot): Trailer Talk

The Flash (Super Bowl Spot): Trailer Talk.

Despite the DCEU going under new management with James Gunn, and Ezra Miller’s recent controversies, it looks like ‘The Flash’ film will still be getting a worldwide release and the weekend’s Superbowl was a perfect opportunity to show off the first trailer for it.

‘The Flash’ stars Ezra Miller as Barry Allen, aka The Flash, as he accidently opens up the multiverse in an attempt to travel to one where he can be happy. But actions have consequences as he now has to fix the mess he has caused from this.

While Marvel had already released films and shows based around the multiverse concept, ‘The Flash’ looks to go in the direction of the consequences that can happen when you mess with a universe you are not part of. This includes Barry meeting a younger version of himself, and interacting with characters that are not part of his universe. And, as is shown in the trailer, that can cause worlds and universes to collapse.

But this concept can also bring back characters and actors that are no longer part of the DCEU. Ben Affleck appears as his variant of Bruce Wayne (Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice) as well as General Zod returning (Michael Shannon – Man of Steel). However, the biggest talking point has to be Michael Keaton returning as the iconic ’89 Batman.

With his entrance being accompanied by Danny Elfman’s famous theme, this was a joy to see as someone who grew up with Keaton’s Batman. And the film’s crew have taken great care to completely replicate the original Batsuit from his films. Despite everything else that will happen in this film, the return of Keaton’s Batman is what I am looking forward to the most.

‘The Flash’ definitely looks interesting and it seems to utilize the multiverse concept fairly well, with returning characters and new versions of familiar characters being introduced. But it’s hard to deny the reason the film is still being talking about is because of the return of Michael Keaton as Batman. It was such an iconic role and it will be great to see him as an older Batman. Maybe this could lead into a ‘Batman Beyond’ film?
