Worlds Collided and the Scarlet Speedster ran through the Box Office totals, as Warner Bros' newest superhero flick "The Flash" earns its winnings in the global box office race - taking a total of $139 Million globally while also becoming #1 in the Philippines during its opening week.

The film has taken in an 85% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and sees the DC Extended Universe open up to the wider reaches of the DC Multiverse as Ezra Miller returns as Barry Allen/ The Flash, with both Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton reprising their respective versions of Bruce Wayne/ Batman and Sasha Calle playing Kara Zor-El/ Supergirl.

Here's the press release straight from Warner Bros. Philippines, and you can also read my review on the film here.

MANILA, June 19, 2023 -- Eager to see the first standalone movie about the DCEU’s fastest man alive, moviegoers from all over the world flocked to theaters to watch “The Flash” on its opening weekend, leading to a huge US$ 139-million global box office take. 

In the Philippines, the film debuted at No.1 with a smash P45-million gross on its five-day opening weekend June 14 - 18, which marks Warner Bros.’ biggest opening for 2023, after another superhero blockbuster, “Shazam: Fury of the Gods” last March. 

“The Flash,” starring Ezra Miller as the titular superhero, Sasha Calle as Supergirl, and Michael Keaton as Batman, has scored well with audiences, and it currently holds an 85% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Flash Movie Promo Art Features Supergirl, Michael Keaton Batman, and Two Flashes

 

2023 has a full slate of blockbuster movies coming up - and one of them is expected to help “reboot” the very troubled DC Films slate of movies and presumably end the DC Extended Universe as we know it. That movie of course is “The Flash” - which will feature controversial star Ezra Miller in the titular role as well as Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck returning as their respective versions of Batman.

Now a new promo image has been released featuring Supergirl, Batman, and two Flashes - which is making the rounds online and hopefully helps build up momentum for the movie. The first trailer is expected to debut during this year’s Super Bowl this February, and that’s a long time coming for a film that’s supposed to debut in the middle of this year.

The Flash hits theaters this June.

The Flash movie director Andy Muschietti teases Michael Keaton's Batman with bloody Batsuit

 

It movies director Andy Muschietti is pretty busy directing Ezra Miller's solo superhero film "The Flash" -- which will feature the return of Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne/ Batman from the 1989 movie of the same name, and to tease that return we get an image from his Instagram that sees the familiar classic Batsuit looking very much like how The Comedian's badge was splashed with blood. The film will also see Ben Affleck's Batman return as well, though how he fits is still a mystery.

What the bloody '89 batsuit means we won't know until the film comes out, but it might be a sign of bad things... Maybe a Crisis among other things.

The Flash is scheduled to be released on November 4, 2022.

Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton return as their respective Batmans for “Flashpoint”

Batfans who have been looking for a sign or miracle that two former Batman actors would officially reprise their roles have gotten their prayers answered, as Variety reports that Ben Affleck AND Michael Keaton are returning as their respective versions of Batman for director Andy Muschietti’s “Flashpoint”! An adaptation of the 2011 alternate timeline Flash centered storyline that set up the DC Universe reboot initiative in “The New 52”, the film will see The Flash - once again played by Ezra Miller - making a time travel decision using the Speed Force which will seemingly impact the DC Films universe... And in some way traveling the DC Multiverse (as seen in the Arrowverse) where he’ll be encountering these two Batmen.

Affleck, who last played Batman/ Bruce Wayne in “Justice League”, will be returning the role for the first time since stepping away from starring and directing “The Batman” - which went on to Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves respectively. Michael Keaton has been heavily rumored to reprise his role as Bruce Wayne/ Batman from “Batman” and “Batman Returns”, & now that’s officially confirmed too.

In the story by Variety, Muschietti said about Ben Affleck’s Batman and his relationship with Ezra Miller’s Flash:

“His Batman has a dichotomy that is very strong, which is his masculinity—because of the way he looks, and the imposing figure that he has, and his jawline —but he’s also very vulnerable,” Muschietti said in an interview. “He knows how to deliver from the inside out, that vulnerability. He just needs a story that allows him to bring that contrast, that balance.” Affleck got the script at the end of last week and agreed this week to join the project. 

“He’s a very substantial part of the emotional impact of the movie. The interaction and relationship between Barry and Affleck’s Wayne will bring an emotional level that we haven’t seen before,” the director added. "It’s Barry’s movie, it’s Barry’s story, but their characters are more related than we think. They both lost their mothers to murder, and that’s one of the emotional vessels of the movie. That’s where the Affleck Batman kicks in.” “I’m glad to be collaborating with someone who has been on both sides of the camera, too,” Muschietti said. “He understands.”

With DC FanDome happening this weekend, we can expect more DC Films news and other exciting announcements to happen! Flashpoint is expected to be released on June 2022.
