Brace yourself for an exhilarating journey through time, alternate realities, and the multiverse as the Scarlet Speedster, Barry Allen, faces his most daunting challenge yet.

 "The Flash" brings together not just one, but two Batmans. The original Dark Knight himself, Bruce Wayne, portrayed by the incomparable Ben Affleck, returns to guide Barry Allen through the complexities of time travel and the consequences it entails. Affleck's emotional portrayal of Batman adds a profound depth to the film, as his connection with Barry is deepened by the shared tragedy of losing their mothers.

General Zod, a formidable adversary previously seen in the Superman mythos, resurfaces in this altered reality, posing an existential threat that demands the combined might of extraordinary individuals.

"The Flash" also boasts an array of incredible cameo appearances that will leave audiences astonished. From the enigmatic Supergirl, portrayed by Sasha Calle, to the mesmerizing presence of Gal Gadot reprising her role as the fierce and compassionate Wonder Woman.

"The Flash" promises a cinematic spectacle that pushes the boundaries of superhero storytelling. With its fusion of timelines, multiple versions of characters, and the return of formidable villains, this film embarks on an unparalleled adventure that celebrates the rich mythology of DC Comics. Buckle up and get ready to be swept away by the sheer magnitude of this wild, exhilarating ride through the multiverse.

List of Superhero Appearances, cameos, and notable character parts in "The Flash" Movie:

  • Barry Allen / The Flash (Ezra Miller): The protagonist of the film, Barry Allen travels back in time to prevent his mother's murder, leading to unintended consequences and a world without metahumans. He harnesses the power of the Speed Force. At some point, there are two Barry Allens, both played by Miller.
  • Bruce Wayne / Batman : The original version of Bruce Wayne from Barry's timeline (Ben Affleck), Batman is the leader of the Justice League. He has a substantial emotional impact on the film and shares a close relationship with Barry. Affleck's scenes in the movie are considered a fitting conclusion to his time as Batman. The other Batman is from the Burton films, Michael Keaton, implying there are parallel universes in play.

  • Jason Mamona makes a cameo appearance at the end after Barry Allens's actions have reset the DC universe. It starts after the credits finish. 
  • And in a believe it or not cameo, in the final moments of the film, George Clooney pulls off the mother of all cameo surprises as Bruce Wayne - by saving his father, the Flash changed the timeline for The Btaman.
  • CGI versions of Christopher Reeve, George Reeves, Helen Slater, the original Flash from the Comics and the Adam West Batman all make appearances in the multiverse as each verse begins to collapse. 

These appearances and cameos bring together a team of superheroes who unite to defeat General Zod and restore the existence of metahumans, ensuring the safety of their world.

Some cameo ideas that were considered but cut from production included Linda Carter as WW, Jor-El as played by Marlon Brandon in the 1978 Superman, and Cesar Romero and Burgess Meredith, as Joker and Penguin respectively, from the 1960s Batman TV series.

The Joke laugh is heard at one point when Barry Allen opens a Laughing Back, implying the the Micheal Keaton at one time took on the Joker.
