The Flash, the movie: will Barry Allen cross the Multiverse to save Batman?

Could Barry Allen have to save his mentor in his next adventures in the DCEU?

Several days ago, director Andy Muschietti unveiled new details about his movie The Flash . We learned in particular that Barry Allen's new costume will be made by Bruce Wayne or that the Multiverse will take us where the DCEU is never yet go. A major teasing that has aroused the curiosity of many fans although the plot is still carefully kept secret. If rumor has it that Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) dies at the end of the movie, Another theory suggests that Batman could disappear at the start of the feature film, forcing his protégé to travel back in time and cross the Multiverse in order to save Batman.

The relationship between The Flash and the Dark Knight will most certainly be at the heart of the film. This is why this theory appears plausible, especially since it would be interesting to see the roles reversed, Bruce Wayne being more used to rescuing people in danger rather than being saved. However, the Flashpoint comics have also served as inspiration for the creative teams, which may suggest that Barry Allen may wish to travel. through alternate realities in order to prevent the death of his mother. In this context, it then appears difficult to imagine the character played by Ezra Miller going back in time to save Batman, unless the fastest superhero in the DCEU takes advantage also of this adventure to change the course of his personal history.

Thus, the next adventures of The Flash could represent different issues in the film, the challenges taken up by the character who may be particularly interesting vis-à-vis his apprehension and his behavior in relation to his mentor as well as in relation to his mother. In this perspective, one could also imagine that the superhero is faced with a major dilemma at the end of the feature film, The Flash then having to choose between the rescue of Batman and that of his mother. Aware of his status, Bruce Wayne could then sacrifice himself, this being able to correspond to the theory according to which Batman would have to die in the movie .

Incidentally, this would not come as a surprise, Bruce Wayne understanding the trauma of losing his 'a loved one since his parents' murder. Plus, seeing The Flash somehow fail on its main mission would bring a new take on the character in the DCEU, while forcing him to embrace his true superhero quality afterwards. It is true that the disappearance of Batman at the end of the film could have a significant impact on the future of The Flash within the universe. Because if it will take many months before discovering the exact plot of Andy Muschietti's film, there is no doubt that the latter should offer Ben Affleck's Batman a significant and meaningful place. A strong symbolism that would make it possible to end the story of the batman in a convincing way and to complicate the apprehension of The Flash within the DCEU.
