The Flash (2023 Film)

"Tell me something. You can go anywhere you want, right? Any timeline, any universe. Why do you want to stay and fight for this one? Because this is the one where my mom lives."

- Bruce Wayne and Barry Allen

The Flash is a 2023 film based on the DC Comics character, The Flash, and the fifteenth in the DC Extended Universe. It premiered on June 16, 2023.

Synopsis
Worlds collide in "The Flash" when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian... albeit not the one he's looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry's only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?
