The Flash is set to a be super summer film, according to Warner Bros. executives, who have been comparing it to Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight films after test screenings.

Those executives are certain that this comic-related release will be a big success, with the three main stars of Ezra Miller, Michael Keaton, and Sasha Calle bringing their star power to the film. Testing is proving so successful, and Miller popular enough in the role, that Warner Bros. are potentially keeping the star in the role of Barry Allen for future films, despite recent legal issues that surround him. Miller has remained away from trouble since those issues arose, meaning it is possible he might remain in the role.

Set for release June 16, The Flash sees the titular character travel back in time to prevent the death of his mother, but in doing so, change the fabric of reality and cause the creation of a multiverse. A multiverse where two Batmans exist. Michael Keaton makes his long-awaited return as the caped crusader, with Ben Affleck also reprising his version of the Dark Knight. Sasha Calle appears as Supergirl.

The 2023 slate of DC Extended Universe films will be the last under the previous direction, with James Gunn and Peter Safran bringing their vision to future films of the universe. That 2023 lineup includes Shazam! Fury of the Gods in March, Blue Beetle in August, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom in December.
