Did you see Ezra Miller in Batman v Superman?
…Or was he too fast for you!
We know that The Flash is mentioned and shown (or a speedster like The Flash) as we see the logo in the files that were stolen from Lex Luthor by Bruce Wayne. We see the term “meta humans” which in The Flash TV series was a word made up by Cisco of Team Flash to categorise people with super powers. But im sure we dont see his name as Barry Allen I was not watching the movie that closely. So is this going to be based on The Flash from the TV series?

When we first see Barry Allen in The Flash TV show he looks like a skinny geek. (In fact on Earth 2 in season 2 he looks even more geeky). Over time we see him mature more and fit the role better. But what about Ezra Miller? He will be playing The Flash (or we are told) in the sequels to BVS. Please excuse my crudeness but if you go by the picture above or others like it he looks more like a depressed loner who takes drugs. But looks can be deceiving.
If you have been watching The Flash, in season 2 it gets really complicated. As now we don’t just have time travel but also different Earth versions or parallel universes…. We know The Flash has yellow/orange sparks when moving, but in the Batman v Superman scene we see blue lightning and sparks (which are normally associated with Zoom). Also in BVS Bruce was dreaming, as after the scene he is rudely awakened. Prior to this Flash scene we see the nightmare vision of a evil Superman and his minions. So it was all a dream then… Or a vision, but when did Bruce/Batman ever have this power? Batman (like Cisco in The Flash) does not have super powers to get visions. So maybe this was something imposed on him, like how Professor Xavier in X-Men can do, pushing thoughts or visions. This could even have been schemed by Darkseid or just a normal dream event.
We know The Flash can travel back in time and also to different Earths but its never been shown like this in The TV series. In the TV series he makes a full jump/run into the new time or space.
We have seen something similar to this in the TV series. When there were those blue breaches between different Earths, sort of portals which could be used to travel. However these were like those Star Gate portals which you used to simply travel from one space to another. In Flash we see Zoom just about coming through one breach but then retreats back before it closes.
This then might explain why (if this was an actual event in the movie and not a Batman dream) The Flash can not fully pass through the breach. It could be artificially created but they don’t have the means to maintain it so he has to give his message and go back. Or he was trying to come through the breach/portal but someone/something else was stopping him and pulled him back, maybe Darkseid or someone who wants Superman to become evil?
The main points this scene raises:
- If Ezra Miller was the future Flash then he knows Batman is Bruce Wayne, but then why is The Flash wearing a mask in the scene? As Batman would also know Barry is the Flash, especially as he will see him in the meta human files video clip.
- Why is he giving the warning to Bruce?
- Where is the orange sparks of The Flash we are used to?
- Has he travelled back in time or from another dimension?
- Why could he not fully manifest in that time with Bruce, we know The Flash can physically manifest in different times and space.
- He had enough time to give a clear message like “Dont let louis die or Superman will turn evil!!” that would have saved confusion for us and Batman.
- Was this guy even the Flash? He never mentions his name, which, if it was a real message would be the most important thing to gain trust of Batman who was already having some emotional issues.
- When he said “find us”…why did he not be clear as to who? He could have easily have just “Find Barry Allen” or “Find Justice League”. Or this guy could already be aware (in the future) that Bruce has seen the files that he stole from Lex that shows the Meta humans, so when he says find us he probably means “find the people you seen in those files including Wonder Woman”. But I guess Wonder Woman found him. In the end of the movie Batman does say I have assemble a team using the meta humans so is listening to the vision.
