So, from this point on, tread carefully as MASSIVE SPOILERS follow below.
The Flash Movie Begins with Flash and Batman chasing bank robbers. The robbers blow up a hospital. Flash rescues the doctors and patients while Batman captures the robbers. Then we find that Barry gained his powers after struck by lightning while investigating his mother’s murder in 2013, and was present at the Battle of Metropolis evacuating civilians. After, Barry unsuccessfully tries to get his father Henry Allen released from prison. Bruce Wayne picks him up at the courthouse and they discuss Barry travelling back in time to save his mother.
Bruce warns Barry it is too dangerous, but Barry runs back to 2001 anyway and steals a can of tomato soup from the grocery store. Barry’s mother is forced to go to another store so she isn’t home at the time of the murder. When Barry tries to run back to 2023, Dark Flash attacks him and he ends up in 2013, where he finds his mother alive and meets his younger self. Present Barry realizes Past Barry won’t get powers since his mother is alive in the new timeline and ensures that he does, but is struck by lightning as well and loses his powers.
General Zod arrives on Earth, and Superman is nowhere to be found, so the two Barries go to Wayne Manor in Gotham City to ask Batman for help. >Instead of Ben Affleck, they find an aging, retired Michael Keaton. Barry realizes that he accidentally tangled different timelines together when he changed the past and needs to fix the timeline. Bruce is reluctant, but ultimately agrees to help and suits up. Batman locates who they believe is Kal-El at a military base in Siberia and break in to rescue him. Instead find Kal-El’s cousin Kara Zor-El, who was captured as a child and has been locked up her entire life.
Kara abandons the group upon reaching sunlight and activating her powers, but later returns to save them from the guards. They take her back to Wayne Manor, and Past Barry develops a crush on her. Batman tries to restore present Barry’s powers by electrocuting him, but it fails. Kara flies Barry into a storm, and he is struck by lightning that restores his powers. Zod begins terraforming Earth in the desert, and the Flashes, Batman and Supergirl arrive to confront him, leading to a massive battle. The battle always ends with Batman and/or Supergirl dying. The Flashes travel back in time several times to prevent this without success.
Present Barry realizes this is a fixed point in the new timeline, but Past Barry refuses to accept it and keeps trying until he vanishes in the Speed Force. Dark Flash returns, and Barry realizes he is a future version of Past Barry who has come to resent Present Barry for changing the past. Dark Flash has spent years traveling through time, trying different permutations without success, and has come to believe he must kill Barry to save the world. Barry realizes he made a huge mistake and tries to race back to undo his actions, with Dark Flash chasing him as he considers Barry too dangerous to live.
Just as Dark Flash prepares to kill Barry, Past Barry returns from earlier in his timeline and sacrifices himself to save Present Barry, causing Dark Flash to vanish. Flash races back to 2001. While doing so, he passes through different timelines/universes, leading to cameos from Christopher Reeve, Adam West, Lynda Carter, Nicolas Cage, George Clooney and Teddy Sears. In 2001, he puts the can back in the shelf and runs into Nora. They share a tender moment before she lets her go, knowing that she will die. Having fixed the present, Barry races back to the present only to find himself in another universe, where he encounters a different Batman whose face is not seen, leaving his face ambiguous.
The post credit scene begins as we see Barry talking to Aquaman as they leave the bar. He is seen talking about everything that happened and explaining why Batman is always different in every universe. Of course, Aquaman is highly drunk and is clearly not paying attention. Barry continues talking and Aquaman passes out and fall down in a puddle on the street. Seeing this, Barry says, “it is time to get you home Aquaman”. So this Arthur replies, “I am home” while lying in puddle. Then Aquaman asks him to grab a beer real fast and gives him Atlantis ring to buy the beer.
The Flash is slated for a theatrical release on June 23, 2023.
