The Flash went through many endings
before settling on the one it did, but was its big cameo worth it over a more
relative finale
The Flash had a well documented
traumatic journey to screen. Having being delayed over a year from its original
release date, become the subject of controversy for star Ezra Miller’s very
public personal issues and been caught up in the upheaval of the DCEU’s demise,
the film is now seemingly not taking off at the box office as originally hoped.
To add to its woes, audiences have now been debating the numerous endings
that the movie could have had, and are divided over the ending that has made it
into theatres compared to others that could have been.
During the events of The Flash,
Barry Allen becomes responsible for breaking and seemingly correcting the
multiverse. However in the closing moments of the movie, it turns out that he
didn’t quite put things right when he meets up with Bruce Wayne, only to find
that Bruce Wayne comes in the guise of George Clooney. Having spent a
number of interviews denying any involvement in the movie, Clooney’s appearance
is a fun and telling moment, but it was not originally part of the plan for The
Flash’s finale.
When the script was reworked later, a new ending was put in
place that would have seen Keaton’s Batman’s and Calle’s Supergirl being joined
by Henry Cavill’s Superman and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman. This ending was
reportedly not shot, and once James Gunn and Peter Saffron began changing up
the franchise’s future, the idea of Cavill and Gadot appearing in the movie’s
ending are said to have been blocked.
