Another round of promo art for The Flash has found its way online, this time teasing Batman and Supergirl's respective roles in the movie. While Ben Affleck will suit up as the Caped Crusader again, Michael Keaton is getting the lion's bat's share of screentime, somehow finding himself in the new reality created by the Fastest Man Alive's trip back in time.
As for the Girl of Steel, Sasha Calle has been cast as the hero, with the original plan for her to permanently replace Henry Cavill's Superman in the DCU.
Things have changed since then, of course, though we do hope she'll be sticking around based on what we've seen.
Both Batman and Supergirl are teased in the promo art below, with one t-shirt from Brazil's CCXP event offering some fresh intel on The Flash's leads. It describes them as, "two idiot kids, a retired vigilante and a half charged solar powered alien."
Some fans are sure to roll their eyes that both versions of The Flash will (still) be idiots in this movie, especially as that's a far cry from how Barry Allen is portrayed on the page. Batman being retired isn't a surprise, though we now know that Supergirl won't be at full power when we meet her here. That's a good way to ensure she doesn't just lay waste to the movie's mystery big bad.
That's still expected to be Michael Shannon's General Zod, with no apparent plans for Reverse-Flash to appear despite him being an obvious choice of villain for this story.
The Flash is set to be released in theaters on June 23, 2023.
