10. The Flash
While The Flash wasn’t as successful at the box office in 2023, it did manage to capture the attention of fans. Warner Bros. had a hard time marketing the movie, given the controversy involving its lead star, Ezra Miller, and the fact that this is the last period of the DCEU (the DC universe will get a total reboot under the new studio leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran).
However, director Andy Muschietti managed to deliver something of a multiversal fan service with cameoCameo dalam industri film mengacu pada penampilan singkat atau kejutan dari selebriti atau tokoh terkenal... More appearances from various incarnations of DC superheroes such as Supergirl, Nicolas Cage’s Superman, and four versions of Batman: Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, George Clooney, and Adam West.
The Flash Synopsis
Barry Allen attempts to utilize his powers to go back in time to prevent the tragic event of his mother’s murder. However, as is commonly known about time travel, changes in past events will inevitably impact the future and the multiverse. Barry Allen is then trapped in a timeline where ‘metahumans’ do not exist.
In that timeline, General Zod, Superman’s archenemy, poses a threat. With the help of another version of Barry Allen in that timeline, as well as Batman and Supergirl, Barry Allen attempts to deal with the threat from General Zod while hoping to return to his own timeline and world.
