The Flash’s Although the latest trailer is available, many aspects of the film remain unexplored. We haven’t seen the villain yet, although it’s clear it will be a variant of Barry Allen played by Ezra Miller. As shots of new merchandise indicate, there will likely be more than two.

Dark Flash, which has not been revealed until this point, has been suspected of being a factor in the plot for some time. Leaks from test screenings told of a variant of Barry that’s been traveling back and forth through time in order to create the perfect universe. By the looks of him, primarily his color scheme, his motives can’t be entirely aboveboard.

Yousef Defenshi created concept fan art The Flash Film News Tweets that were shared to Twitter also give off vibes about how evil Dark Flash is. A spoiler is also included in the post with potentially sinister implications. Dark Flash’s armor, it says, “is made out of Kryptonian material.” But from where did this material come?

ComicBookMovie Does the theory work? and it’s a doozy that ties into the premature death of Superman which is a reported plot point. They posit Dark Flash’s suit is made from the ship that brings Kal-El to Earth— implying that Barry’s evil doppelganger has a hand in the execution of the infant Kal. It’s Zod, though, who ultimately kills the super-tot.

Barry’s evil twin then claims the material to make his suit through either telekinesis or Speed Force energy — similar to the New 52 version of Reverse-Flash who, no joke, grafted parts of a monorail to himself. Dark Flash’s treachery naturally leads to the insertion of Supergirl (Sasha Calle) into the plot although there is a caveat.

Many things have been changed by reshoots Flash’s narrative so there is a chance that the potential twist for Dark Flash, and what is found on the Funko Pops might not be representative of any part of the final film. Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman cameo was reported prior to this as cut along with Henry Cavill’s, and Cavill is not pegged for a comeback in the DCU and Gadot’s role is uncertain.

Same goes for Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck, who both reprise their Batman roles for what will likely be their last. Affleck’s cameo that was arranged to replace Keaton in Aquaman The Lost Kingdom The latter admitted that he was wrong a few months back He has no idea what it would be like to know. He will be able to play his Dark Knight once again.
