The Flash is now officially available for purchase on digital OnDemand and to mark the occasion, the first 10 minutes of the film following the action-packed opening scene with Ben Affleck's Batman, have been released online.
Regardless of how you feel, the facts are that The Flash was a flop. In fact, it is the biggest superhero movie flop of all time, having grossed only $262 million worldwide against a production budget of $200–220 million, plus high marketing costs.
It is estimated that the film will lose Warner Bros. around $200 million.
It is unclear what the future holds for The Flash franchise, at the moment. It is possible that James Gunn and DC Studios will try to reboot the franchise and replace Ezra Miller.
However, it is probably more likely that Barry Allen will be swapped out for Wally West whenever the Scarlet Speedster graces the big screen next.
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?
