Andy Muschietti’s The Flash is one of the most creative and imaginative DC movies in recent memory and serves as a love letter to several eras of DC Comics movies. Starring Ezra Miller as Barry Allen/The Flash, the film also features the return of both Ben Affleck’s Batman and Michael Keaton’s Batman, plus the introduction of Sasha Calle’s Supergirl.
