More in-depth breakdowns of both the final scene and post-credits sequence of The Flash have found their way online (via @CanWeGetToast), and they reveal details of one particular cameo that was thought to be a joke for quite a while!
As far as we know, these scenes featured in the most recent press screening of the movie, and will likely be included in the upcoming theatrical release.
So, major spoilers follow from this point on!
As previously rumored, George Clooney's take on Bruce Wayne reportedly shows up at the end of the film. The timeline context is a bit murky, but it sounds like Barry Allen gets trapped in his reality, as he says "you're not Batman" to the shocked hero, who looks around to make sure nobody has heard The Flash reveal his big secret.
Then, in the stinger, we see Barry (the original version, presumably) and Aquaman (Jason Momoa) walking out of a bar. Arthur finds it hard to believe that there are different Batmen all across the Multiverse, and asks about himself. Allen tells him he's the same "furry, friendly guy" (Curry is a dog in Supergirl's world, apparently), before the Atlantean hero falls face down in a puddle and tells his fellow Justice Leaguer to find them more beer.
What do you make of these details? Be sure to let us know in the comments, and check back later on when the review embargo lifts.
"Directed by Andy Muschietti, The Flash features Barry Allen traveling back in time in order to change 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 help. 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?"
The Flash is produced by Barbara Muschietti and Michael Disco, with a screenplay by Christina Hodson, and a screen story by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein and Joby Harold, based on characters from DC. Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Double Dream/a Disco Factory production of an Andy Muschietti film.
