New rumors of the Flash point to a renewed future for DC Comics

The Flash is the most ambitious film that is planned for the continuity of the DC universe. It's about hope and a new opportunity for the most iconic superheroes in history.

Although its premiere is scheduled for the end of 2022, it is giving something to talk about with its leaks and rumors. They point to a renewed future for the franchise, but one that has upset the public.

The Flash is suffering the same fate as Spiderman: No Way Home

Months before its premiere, the last film of the SpiderMan suffered constant leaks that hindered the final surprise. Now, the DC Comics sprinter movie is suffering from the same scenario.

The same source that was involved in the rumors about Spiderman: No Way Home, MyTimeToShineHello on Twitter, is also present on this occasion. Thanks to your access to certain information, you have been able to confirm several interesting points.

Goodbye to Henry Cavill's Superman and Ben Affleck's Batman

Henry Cavill has long been a favorite with the public to play the popular comic book character: Man of Steel. Popularly known as "Superman", it seems that his appearance in current films has come to an end.

The Flash will serve to give a "clean slate" to a character who has played a long list of important actors. It will also help release Cavill, who had not been able to contractually renew with Warner Bros.

For his part, it has been known for a long time that Ben Affleck will no longer wear The Dark Knight cape. Although he will return for a brief participation in this shoot, it will symbolize his last appearance on the big screen as the bat character.

Total franchise reset

As reported by said source through its Twitter user, the DC franchise will undergo a total restart. In essence, the films directed by Zack Snyder will no longer be in the continuity of the new universe of recordings.

Because of this, Man of Steel; Batman v. Superman: Dawn of the Justice and Justice League will not be considered "canon." That is, they will become part of the past of the saga with their sights set on a renewed project.

The Flash will explore DC's extended multiverse

The film is planned to be a kind of adaptation of the comic "Flashpoint", a story that tells the events of alternate realities. A world altered by Flash's constant time travel that unleashes major consequences.

Starting from that scoop, it has been confirmed that Michael Keaton will return in his role as Batman. The actor briefly stood out as the Night Knight between 1989 and 1992, showing part of his costume in the trailer for The Flash.

Within the same vein, it is known that an evil version of Barry Allen, played by Ezra Miller, will be the antagonist. He will seek to get rid of his counterparts in all reality and thus be able to finalize his objectives of conquest.

A new "Justice League"

As if that were not enough, MyTimeToShineHello manifests that a new and reformed Justice League is being born. After the dismissal of Cavill and the irremediable departure of Affleck, it will be Supergirl (Sasha Calle) and Batgirl (Leslie Grace) who will take the initiative.

Together, other newly added characters like Shazam will complement the lineup with Wonder Woman and Aquaman. In hindsight, it is unclear whether Cyborg or Barry Allen himself will return to the greatest superhero alliance.

It will be the basis for future DC projects

Although the director of the film, Andy Muschietti, clarified that everything that has happened so far is valid, there is a greater background. DC's opportunity to use The Flash as a turning point will greatly enhance its future.

What is certain is that, according to Muschietti's own words, the plot of the production adds many surprises. If they are not filtered from here to the premiere, they will probably make fans jump.

A controversial decision that does not please a large part of the public

If everything that circulates on the Internet is true, or at least much of it, the effect it will have on the fandom is unknown. The first reactions have not been favorable at all, especially with the fact of getting rid of Cavill and Affleck.

Critical and even derogatory comments did not take long to make a dent in the social network Twitter. Throughout several days, before the end of the year and the beginning of 2022, The Flash was a trend not exactly because of pleasant news.

In general, the vision of the fan was more to reconcile the versions of Superman and Batman by Cavill and Affleck. With the jump in quality of some movies like Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Shazam, there was hope for renewal.

Unfortunately, everything seems to indicate that the formula for the success of DC and Warner Bros runs in another way. Ultimately, dispensing with the quality of such actors will be a timely sacrifice for what is to come.

When will The Flash be released in theaters?

October 2021 was the official month in which the recording of all the shots of the film concluded. From that moment, it entered the so-called "post-production" and promotion phase for its theatrical release.

If the current panorama is maintained, with a successful return to movie theaters and vaccination plans continue, there will be no eventualities. The Flash will hit the big screen on November 4, 2022 without further ado.
