Central City has a long history with the Flash character in comic books and has appeared in bothJustice Leaguemovies, andZack Snyder’s Justice League. Central City is the setting for many important events in the life of Barry Allen, the Flash, including his romantic relationships and his father’s incarceration. At the end of theJustice Leaguemovie, Barry takes a job as a forensic scientist at the Central City Police Department in an attempt to clear his father’s name and secure his release from prison. Central City’s significant presence in the DC Universe and its importance to Barry’s story arc make it a crucial element in the Flash’s narrative.

The Flashmovie was first announced in 2014 and was set to be a solo project within the DC Universe. However, production delays and Ezra Miller’s behaviour caused the release date to be pushed back to this summer. There have been rumours thatThe Flashwould be a kind of soft-reboot for the DC franchise and may have included a long-term return for Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne/Batman. However, the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery Inc. has resulted in significant changes to the future of the DC Universe.James Gunn and Peter Safran are now leading DC Studiosand have a slate of new TV shows and movies in the works, while the list of potential blockbuster DC movies from the old franchise seems to have no clear place in the current plans.
The Flashmovie, directed by Andy Muschietti and written by Christina Hodson, will star Ezra Miller as the titular hero, alongside a talented cast that includes Ron Livingston, Michael Keaton, Kiersey Clemons, Michael Shannon, Sasha Calle, and Ben Affleck. The film has faced many delays and changes in production, but is finally set to be released on June 10, 2025.
