Okay, look, the first trailer for The Flash has plenty of fist-pumps-in-the-air moments – there’s two Barrys, there’s Ben Affleck back as Batman, there’s Zod, there’s Kara Zor-el aka Superman’s cousin and then there’s: “I’m Batman”. Yes Michael Keaton is back as Batman as we see a hell of a lot of him in the trailer.
We’ll stop talking and let you watch for yourselves…
Worlds collide in The Flash when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he’s looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?
