The Flash arrives on DVD and Blu-ray on August 29, and a clip from the director's commentary with Andy Muschietti breaking down arguably the most lambasted (well, after the Chrono-Bowl) sequence has now been shared online.
In the video, Muschietti walks us through the opening action scene, which has come to be known as "Microwave Baby," as the Fastest Man Alive pushes himself to the limit to save a bunch of infants who fall from a hospital window.
The It filmmaker mentions that star Ezra Miller actually filmed most of this scene, with CGI used for only a few specific shots to enhance the action.
Find out what Muschietti has to say in the player below.
"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.
