‘The Flash’ Movie is Going to Have a Fair Number of DC Characters in It
By George Robbins
DC movies are now definitely on the list of things that people watch out for nowadays due to the inception of the DC Extended Universe. Otherwise known as the DCEU, it is a shared universe which has characteristics very similar to other shared universes. Characters are off on their own adventures with nothing of note necessarily happening, at least in the grand scheme of things, and eventually they all come together in one big film to take care of one huge problem. Or they do have something noteworthy happen in their films which could change the whole world and yet only the main character and those related to them are around. DC has managed to be a part of the later camp.
Much of what happens in the DCEU happens on a catastrophic scale and many heroes are not really present for what happens in the films. They are all given their own space to make sure that they have films where they are given the floor, so to speak. Unlike other franchises though, the DCEU does a better job of getting multiple characters involved in what happens. Hence the reason Wonder-Woman, Superman, and Batman have appeared in a couple of films together already. Apparently this trend will not be stopping any time soon either as the much-awaited upcoming movie ‘The Flash’ will eventually give us a few sights to behold.
For those currently unaware, ‘The Flash’ was a movie which was announced during DC FanDome which will be releasing in the not too distant future. It will be a story which adapts the Flashpoint story in the comics which sees the titular hero travelling through time to some degree. As it will play around with potentially catastrophic events, as well as multiple timelines, it is of no surprise that the movie will have a number of heroes appearing in it. Multiple DC characters on top of Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton’s versions of Batman will be making their appearances in the film. This just makes the film all the more interesting to look forward to over the next year-and-a-half or so.
