	* ~~[[Jesse L~~. ~~Martin]]~~ as ~~Joe~~ West		* Michael Shannon as General Zod: A Kryptonian general who possesses the same powers as Superman and was killed by him in ''Man of Steel'' (2013). This version hails from an alternate timeline, where Kara landed on Earth instead of Kal-El. Shannon received ''Man of Steel'' director Zack Snyder's blessing to reprise his role, after initially being hesitant to do so given the troubled history between Snyder and Warner Bros. regarding his later DCEU productions.
	* ~~[[Tom Cavanagh]]~~ as ~~Eobard Thawne/Reverse~~-~~Flash~~		* Ron Livingston as Henry Allen: Barry's father who was wrongfully convicted of his wife's murder. Livingston replaces Billy Crudup, who previously portrayed the character in ''Justice League'' (2017) and its director's cut ''Zack Snyder's Justice League'' (2021).

	* [[Zendaya]] as ~~Nova Smiles~~		* Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne / Batman: A wealthy socialite from Gotham City who moonlights as a crimefighting vigilante. This version of Wayne is a variation of the DCEU character portrayed by Ben Affleck, as a result of Barry's tampering with the timeline. Keaton previously played the character in the films ''Batman'' (1989) and ''Batman Returns'' (1992).
			** Affleck appears, uncredited, as the original version of Bruce Wayne / Batman from Barry's timeline and the leader of the Justice League, reprising his role from past DCEU appearances. Director Andy Muschietti said the character has a substantial emotional impact on the film through his relationship with Barry, in part because their mothers were both killed. Affleck said his scenes in the film were his favorite as the character and a "nice finish" for his time as Batman. He added that he felt that the five minutes of his scenes in the film were the first time he "really understood the character" and figured out how to play him.
			** George Clooney appears, uncredited, as a variation of Bruce Wayne, replacing Affleck's version in the ending; Clooney previously portrayed the character in ''Batman & Robin'' (1997).

			Also reprising their respective DCEU roles are Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Temuera Morrison as an alternate version of Tom Curry from 2013-Barry's timeline, and Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa both appearing, uncredited, as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman and Arthur Curry / Aquaman, respectively. Additionally, Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Rudy Mancuso respectively portray Patty Spivot and Albert Desmond, Barry's co-workers, while Sanjeev Bhaskar appears as Barry's boss, David Singh. Luke Brandon Field portrays Al Falcone, the leader of a terrorist crew who robs Gotham General Hospital in the beginning of the film. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau appears, uncredited, as a man whom 2013-Barry steals a piece of pizza from, and director Andy Muschietti makes a cameo appearance as a reporter Barry steals a hot dog from in the present day. Other appearances include Karl Collins as Henry Allen's lawyer, Kieran Hodgson as a sandwich shop employee, and Sean Rogers as 2013-Barry's roommate Gary.

			Adaptations of a number of DC characters make cameo appearances in the film. These include: Henry Cavill as the DCEU version of Superman through computer-generated imagery (CGI). Cavill had filmed additional scenes as the character for the film, but they were removed during post-production; Jai Courtney as Digger Harkness / Captain Boomerang, also through CGI; and Nicolas Cage as an alternate version of Superman, after he previously voiced the character in the unrelated animated film ''Teen Titans Go! To the Movies'' (2018). He was originally cast as Superman in Tim Burton's unproduced film ''Superman Lives''. Cage shot his scenes through volumetric capture and CGI was used to de-age him. Through the use of artificial intelligence and deepfake technology, previous incarnations of Superman, Batman, and Supergirl appear during the "Speed Force" sequence, including Christopher Reeve as Superman from the 1978–1987 ''Superman'' films, Helen Slater as Supergirl from ''Supergirl'' (1984), Adam West as Batman from the 1966 film and television series, and George Reeves as his version of Superman from ''Superman and the Mole Men'' (1951) and ''Adventures of Superman'' (1952–1958), through the use of archive footage. Archival recordings of Cesar Romero and Jack Nicholson as their versions of Joker from the 1960s ''Batman'' series and 1989 film, respectively, along with Eartha Kitt's Catwoman from the 1960s series, are also featured. The character Jay Garrick also appears through the use of CGI; his likeness was based on Jason Ballantine, one of the film's editors.

			== Plot ==
			After helping Bruce Wayne / Batman and Diana Prince / Wonder Woman stop a robbery in Gotham City, Barry Allen revisits his childhood home, where he lived with his parents Nora and Henry, before Henry's wrongful imprisonment for Nora's murder. On the day of her death, Nora sent Henry to the grocery store for a can of tomatoes that she forgot to buy, leaving her alone in the kitchen, resulting in her being killed by an unidentified assailant. Overcome by emotions, Barry accidentally uses the Speed Force to form a "Chronobowl" and travel back in time earlier in the day. Despite Bruce's warnings of time travel's unintended consequences, Barry time travels and places the can of tomatoes in Nora's cart at the store, so that his father will not have to leave the house. As he returns to the present, Barry is knocked out of the Chronobowl by an unknown speedster and ends up in a 2013 where Nora is alive. He encounters his parents, his past self, and realizes this is the day he originally obtained his powers.

			To make sure his past self gains superpowers, the two Barrys go to the Central City Police Department, where Barry re-enacts the event for 2013-Barry to be struck by lightning. Both end up getting struck by the lightning, giving 2013-Barry powers, but causing Barry to lose his own. As Barry struggles to train 2013-Barry on properly using his powers, they learn that General Zod is preparing to invade Earth. In an effort to fight Zod, the Barrys attempt to assemble the Justice League but are unsuccessful; in this timeline, Diana cannot be located, Victor Stone has not gained his abilities yet, and Arthur Curry never existed. They travel to Wayne Manor, hoping to find Bruce, but instead find an alternate variant who has long retired. Bruce theorizes that using time travel to alter history affects events both prior to and after the alteration. They convince Bruce to return as Batman and help them find Kal-El / Superman.

			The Barrys and Batman locate a Kryptonian pod discovered in Siberia. Upon arrival, they instead find Kal-El's cousin, Kara Zor-El, imprisoned in the facility. They rescue Kara and return to Wayne Manor. Barry enlists Bruce's help to regain his power once more. The first two attempts fail, prompting Kara to fly Barry into a storm, where he regains his powers. Kara and Batman join the Barrys to fight Zod and his forces. During the battle, Kara learns that Zod had intercepted Kal-El's escape pod from Krypton and killed him while attempting to extract the Codex needed to repopulate the Kryptonian species. Zod reveals that the Codex is actually within Kara. Zod subdues and kills her, then extracts the Codex from her blood; meanwhile, Batman sacrifices himself in an unsuccessful attempt to destroy Zod's ship.

			The Barrys repeatedly time travel to save Batman and Kara but keep failing. Barry realizes that this sequence of events cannot be changed, but 2013-Barry keeps trying. As 2013-Barry travels, the multiverse starts to implode. The unknown speedster who initially knocked Barry out of the Speed Force returns and is revealed to be an older, future version of 2013-Barry who still believes he can defeat Zod and save his Earth. He becomes angry when Barry reveals his intention to reverse the changes he made to the timeline by letting Nora die. The elder 2013-Barry attempts to kill Barry, but instead impales young 2013-Barry, who sacrifices himself to save Barry and wipe his future self from the timeline.

			Barry reverts the timeline and comes to terms with his mother's death; however, he subtly alters the past by moving the tomato cans to a higher shelf. Returning to the present day, Barry attends Henry's court hearing, where the security footage now reveals Henry looking up to grab the tomato can, allowing for his exoneration. Barry is then contacted by Bruce, whose appearance has changed once again as a result of the timeline alteration.

			Barry Allen, a forensic crime scene assistant for Central City Police Department, experiences a life-altering event when he is struck by lightning during a storm. This storm is not just any natural phenomenon; it is triggered by an explosion at S.T.A.R. Labs, where a particle accelerator malfunctions. This extraordinary incident bestows upon Barry superhuman speed, marking the birth of "The Flash."
	== ~~Plot~~ ==
	~~In Central City, forensic scientist~~ Barry Allen~~'s life transforms after~~ a ~~particle accelerator explosion at S.T.A.R. Labs. Struck by lightning and in a coma~~ for ~~nine months~~, Barry awakens with superhuman speed. Under the mentorship of Dr. Harrison Wells, the head of S.T.A.R. Labs, and with the help of scientists Caitlin Snow and Cisco Ramon, Barry becomes "The Flash," protecting the city from metahuman threats.

	~~The Flash's first major challenge is Clyde Mardon, who can control the weather. Barry's swift intervention prevents~~ a tornado from destroying the city. Meanwhile, Barry reconnects with his childhood friend and crush, Iris West, and her father, Detective Joe West, who helped raise Barry after his mother's mysterious murder and his father's wrongful imprisonment for the crime.

	~~As Barry adapts to his new abilities,~~ he ~~encounters various metahumans, like Multiplex, who can clone himself, and The Mist, who kills with toxic gas. Barry's crusade against these threats~~ is ~~driven by his desire to uncover the truth about his mother's death, which he believes was caused~~ by ~~a mysterious figure in yellow~~ lightning~~, similar to his own speed.~~

	The arrival of Captain Cold, a criminal mastermind wielding a cold gun, poses a new challenge. Cold's intelligence and strategic planning make him a formidable foe, leading to multiple encounters throughout the season. Barry also faces personal challenges, grappling with his unrequited love for Iris and his complex relationship with his adoptive brother, Detective Eddie Thawne, Iris's boyfriend.

	~~Barry's journey also leads him to discover other individuals with powers, like Firestorm. He uncovers the truth about Firestorm's identity,~~ a ~~fusion of Dr. Martin Stein and Iris's colleague, Ronnie Raymond, Caitlin's presumed-dead fiancé~~. This ~~revelation brings complexities to the team's dynamics, as they navigate personal relationships and their mission to protect the city.~~

	A pivotal moment occurs when Barry travels back in time, accidentally altering events. This experience teaches him the responsibilities and dangers of time travel. His actions have unforeseen consequences, affecting those around him, including the timeline of his battle against metahumans.

	~~The Flash's battles are~~ not ~~only physical but also moral. He faces ethical dilemmas, such as when he confronts the Pied Piper, who reveals unsettling truths about Dr. Wells and~~ S.T.A.R. Labs. Barry~~'s trust in his mentor is tested, leading him to question the motivations behind his guidance.~~

	~~As the season progresses~~, the ~~mystery surrounding Dr. Wells deepens. Barry and his team uncover startling revelations about his true identity and his connection to the night~~ of ~~Barry's mother's death. These discoveries lead to a climactic confrontation between~~ The Flash and his greatest adversary, the Reverse-Flash, the true persona of Dr. Wells. Barry faces the ultimate choice: to travel back in time to save his mother, risking the present, or to let history remain as it is. This decision is fraught with emotional and moral complexities, highlighting Barry's growth as a hero.

	~~During production~~ on ''~~Deadpool~~'' ''2'' (~~2018~~), a ~~reboot~~ for the ~~MCU~~ was ~~being planned~~ by ~~[[Mob Productions]]~~ with ~~[[Freddie Goodwin]] attached to write~~ the screenplay. ~~In June 2021~~, ~~[[Ryan Reynolds]]~~ was ~~confirmed to be reprising his role~~ as ~~Wade Wilson/Deadpool in~~ the film.		Development on a film based on the DC character the Flash began in the late 1980s when Warner Bros. Pictures hired comic book writer Jeph Loeb to write a screenplay. Warner Bros. hired David S. Goyer to write, direct, and produce a new version of ''The Flash'' in December 2004 after he impressed them with his script for ''Batman Begins'' (2005). Goyer approached Ryan Reynolds to portray Wally West / The Flash after working with him on the Marvel Comics-based film ''Blade: Trinity'' (2004) and intended to have the character Barry Allen appear in a supporting role. Goyer was influenced for the film's tone by Sam Raimi's ''Spider-Man'' trilogy and the Flash comic book runs by Mike Baron, Mark Waid and Geoff Johns. By early February 2007, Goyer left the project over creative differences with the studio, and Shawn Levy was hired to direct and oversee the writing of a new draft written by Chris Brancato, which used elements from Goyer's script. Later that month, Warner Bros. announced the development of a Justice League film, with Michelle and Kieran Mulroney writing the screenplay. George Miller signed on to direct the film, titled ''Justice League: Mortal'', in September, with Adam Brody cast as the Flash. It was envisioned as the start of a franchise with planned sequels and spin-offs, including the Flash film.

	~~Development~~ on the ~~first~~ film was ~~mixed~~ with a ~~potential second~~ film ~~as confirmed in June 2022~~. ~~By then~~, ~~Goodwin announced he has worked on every project~~ in the ~~MCU~~ and ~~will focus entirely~~ on the ~~future of~~ the ~~franchise~~.		Levy left ''The Flash'' in October 2007 because of scheduling conflicts with ''Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian'' (2009). David Dobkin took over as director and began developing the film as a spin-off from ''Justice League: Mortal'', with a focus on Wally West. Craig Wright was writing a script for the film the next month, before ''Justice League: Mortal'' was canceled and Warner Bros. set a 2008 release for ''The Flash''. Further development was delayed by the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. Charles Roven joined the project as a producer by July 2009, with Geoff Johns consulting and writing a film treatment that Dan Mazeau adapted into a screenplay. In October, Roven said the studio was not confident enough in their take to green-light the film, though Mazeau disputed this and said the film was moving forward as planned. In June 2010, ''Green Lantern'' (2011) writers Greg Berlanti, Michael Green, and Marc Guggenheim were hired to write a new treatment for ''The Flash'' based on a recent comics run by Johns that featured Barry Allen. However, Mob Productions took matters into their own hands and made changes to the screenplay to fit into their own narrative for the MCU.

	In ~~December 2019~~, ~~after the release~~ of ~~Fox's ''Deadpool 2''~~, [[Freddie Goodwin~~]] began work on a new Deadpool franchise to have Ryan Reynolds star~~ in ~~which will reboot~~ the ~~films~~. ~~In February 2020~~, ~~Reynolds agreed to do~~ the film, ~~as long as he produced~~ it ~~alongside~~ Goodwin.		=== Pre-production ===
			In the early development of "The Flash" (2024), a talented team of developers, Freddie Goodwin, Sara Case, Nathaniel J. Marlowe, Isabella Fontaine, and Gregory P. Hawthorne, were instrumental in shaping the film's direction.

			Freddie Goodwin, the film's lead developer, focused on integrating the core elements of the Flashpoint comic book storyline, while also ensuring the script included unique aspects to differentiate it from the source material. He recognized the potential of using time travel to explore Barry Allen's origin story and to incorporate Batman in a novel way.

			Sara Case, known for her creative input in storytelling, worked closely with Goodwin. Her contribution was crucial in developing a more emotionally charged narrative, diverging from the comic's structure to offer a suspenseful and engaging experience reminiscent of films like Jacob's Ladder (1990).

	~~=== Pre-production ===~~		Nathaniel J. Marlowe played a key role in adapting the film's release schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. His strategic decision-making led to the film's rescheduling to June 3, 2022, aligning with Warner Bros.' shifted calendar.
	~~Goodwin and Sara Case began working on the script in December 2019~~. ~~They considered making the story be set~~ in the ~~same timeline as the original two ''Deadpool'~~' ~~films, though didn't want~~ to the ~~film~~ to be the ~~third~~ film ~~in that universe~~, ~~or the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In March 2020~~, ~~development was put on hold, though Goodwin and Case worked together during the lockdowns to write the script~~. They ended up rewriting the script more than twelve times. Goodwin wanted to include Barry Allen/Flash from DC Comics in the film, though chose to exclude him because he has a film the month following this film.

	~~Initially they thought this film would be a one off type of film, with no sequels planned. However, in June 2021, Goodwin confirmed this film is being developed alongside a second~~ '~~'Deadpool'' film that is coming~~ in ~~the far future~~. ~~Goodwin planned~~ to ~~revisit past moments~~ from ~~the first two~~ films that ~~were released by Fox~~.		Isabella Fontaine's involvement was pivotal in casting negotiations. Her efforts led to Michael Keaton entering early talks to reprise his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman from Tim Burton's Batman films, a move that generated significant buzz and excitement among fans.

	By the ~~end of 2019~~, ~~filming was expected~~ to ~~begin in mid-2020~~. ~~In April 2020, Sony rescheduled ''No Way Home''<nowiki/>~~'s ~~release to November 5~~, ~~2021, due to~~ the ~~COVID-19 pandemic~~.		Gregory P. Hawthorne, overseeing the film's broader narrative structure, contributed to the inclusion of the multiverse concept. This allowed for the integration of multiple character versions and the acknowledgement of past DC film franchises as alternate universes. Hawthorne emphasized the importance of Ben Affleck's Batman as a foundational element of the MCU, ensuring the film maintained continuity while introducing new elements.

== Plot ==
In Central City, forensic scientist Barry Allen's life transforms after a particle accelerator explosion at S.T.A.R. Labs. Struck by lightning and in a coma for nine months, Barry awakens with superhuman speed. Under the mentorship of Dr. Harrison Wells, the head of S.T.A.R. Labs, and with the help of scientists Caitlin Snow and Cisco Ramon, Barry becomes "The Flash," protecting the city from metahuman threats.

The Flash's first major challenge is Clyde Mardon, who can control the weather. Barry's swift intervention prevents a tornado from destroying the city. Meanwhile, Barry reconnects with his childhood friend and crush, Iris West, and her father, Detective Joe West, who helped raise Barry after his mother's mysterious murder and his father's wrongful imprisonment for the crime.

As Barry adapts to his new abilities, he encounters various metahumans, like Multiplex, who can clone himself, and The Mist, who kills with toxic gas. Barry's crusade against these threats is driven by his desire to uncover the truth about his mother's death, which he believes was caused by a mysterious figure in yellow lightning, similar to his own speed.

The arrival of Captain Cold, a criminal mastermind wielding a cold gun, poses a new challenge. Cold's intelligence and strategic planning make him a formidable foe, leading to multiple encounters throughout the season. Barry also faces personal challenges, grappling with his unrequited love for Iris and his complex relationship with his adoptive brother, Detective Eddie Thawne, Iris's boyfriend.

Barry's journey also leads him to discover other individuals with powers, like Firestorm. He uncovers the truth about Firestorm's identity, a fusion of Dr. Martin Stein and Iris's colleague, Ronnie Raymond, Caitlin's presumed-dead fiancé. This revelation brings complexities to the team's dynamics, as they navigate personal relationships and their mission to protect the city.

A pivotal moment occurs when Barry travels back in time, accidentally altering events. This experience teaches him the responsibilities and dangers of time travel. His actions have unforeseen consequences, affecting those around him, including the timeline of his battle against metahumans.

The Flash's battles are not only physical but also moral. He faces ethical dilemmas, such as when he confronts the Pied Piper, who reveals unsettling truths about Dr. Wells and S.T.A.R. Labs. Barry's trust in his mentor is tested, leading him to question the motivations behind his guidance.

As the season progresses, the mystery surrounding Dr. Wells deepens. Barry and his team uncover startling revelations about his true identity and his connection to the night of Barry's mother's death. These discoveries lead to a climactic confrontation between The Flash and his greatest adversary, the Reverse-Flash, the true persona of Dr. Wells. Barry faces the ultimate choice: to travel back in time to save his mother, risking the present, or to let history remain as it is. This decision is fraught with emotional and moral complexities, highlighting Barry's growth as a hero.
