Earlier today, we got confirmation thatJustice LeaguecharactersAquaman(Jason Momoa),The Flash(Ezra Miller) andCyborg(Ray Fisher) will appear inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, before uniting inJustice League Part 1. Of course, that wasn’t news to most fans, since there had been rumors all three heroes will join forces with Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) at the end of the movie.Entertainment Weeklyhas a new report which sheds some light onThe Flash’s appearance, which is much different than previously rumored.
DirectorZack Snyderteased that bothBatmanandSupermanwill be plagued by nightmarish “visions,” which the filmmaker says has qualities similar toA Christmas Carol, which could be glimpses from the future, or potential warnings.Ezra Miller’sThe Flashmakes an appearance in one of Bruce Wayne’s visions, delivering a “cryptic message” to Batman. The content of this message wasn’t revealed, but the director described it as “a giant Easter egg” that he hopes fans will be discussing after seeing the movie. Here’s what the director had to say about this aspect of the story.
“We had such a straightforward narrative, on one hand, I wanted this other layer of the movie to be complicated and bizarre.”
It isn’t known if this means the long-rumored scene at the end of the movie, with all of the Justice League members, isn’t happening, and it isn’t clear ifAquamanandCyborgare also appearing in similar visions. There have also been reports thatThe Flashshows up as a blur during a convenience store scene, but like most of the other rumors swirling around the movie, that has not been confirmed. As forThe Flash’s vision, it’s possible that he’s actually travelling through the “speed force” to deliver this message, but we don’t know for sure.
One of the other dream sequences is also rumored to give fans their first glimpse at a major DC Comics villain, Darkseid. Fans have speculated about Darkseid’s involvement for months, after it was noticed that the villain’s Parademons are flying around in a shot that is from another one of Bruce Wayne’s visions/dreams. This sequence is set in the fictional land of Kandahar, with Batman carrying a large machine gun as a greets an “armoured juggernaut” at a desert compound. Since both Batman and Superman are having these visions, it’s possible that one of the other heroes (or villains) may be responsible for them, but we don’t know for sure.
