The Flash: All the Cameos and Easter Eggs Featured In The Dc Movie

The Flash has brought great changes to the new DC Universe by James Gunn and Peter Safran which is increasingly taking shape. The film, as the new DC Studios Co-CEO promised, almost completely reset the DC Extended Universe created by the previous management. The film also introduced the concept of the Multiverse to the DC Cinematic Universe, so what better chance to fill the film with cameos and easter eggs? Let’s discover them together. Warning, this article contains spoilers from The Flash and if you don’t want to ruin your vision, we advise you not to continue reading! Andy Muschietti proved once again that he is a good director, and many scenes are directed perfectly. The real strength of the film, however, was the performance of Ezra Miller. Ezra, who has been at the center of the stage for extra-cinematic matters, has also proved to be a good actor. Miller played two different Barry Allens, especially with two opposite characters, in an exceptional way.

The Flash: Last Appearances For Many Heroes We’ve Seen Recently

The Flash has given us the last appearances of some characters that we have seen in recent DC films that, however, we will not see staged by these actors again. Two characters have appeared in several cameos: Ben Affleck’s Batman, probably in his best appearance as Bruce Wayne, and Gal Gadot ‘s Wander Woman. The two are now at the end of their adventure in the DC world. As we know, Affleck will no longer be Batman, while the third chapter of Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman has been canceled. The nice scene that sees them as protagonists while saving Gotham City from a possible catastrophe, led by Alfred, played by Jeremy Irons (also probably the last appearance of the DC Universe).

A Journey Into The Dc Multiverse, Between Cameos And Comparisons With The MCU

The film tackles the multiverse as it has never been tackled before, not even in the MCU, where it is still not possible to understand the rules that characterize it. Here it is perfectly explained by Michael Keaton’s Batman who helps the two Barrys save the reality in which the original Flash ended up. This different reality has many different things from what we know. We have tried to enclose here all the cameos that have been in the film and the different quotes. These are scattered both during the development of the new Universe and during the journey in the speed force, where the different universes collapse and destroy each other.

The first quote that catches the eye is certainly the one that sees Back to the Future at the center of a conversation between the two Barry Allen. Here we learn that in the new universe, Marty McFly is played not by Michael J. Fox but by Eric Stoltz. Michael J. Fox, however, replaces Kevin Bacon in Footloose. A quote/reference to a real event. Not everyone knows that Eric Stoltz shot several scenes in the role of Marty McFly, but that he was then replaced by Michael J. Fox (the first choice of the production but who was busy on other sets).

The Flash: A Journey Into The Past In Dc Series And Films

After research done by Barry Allen, we discover that in this new universe, there is neither Wonder Woman nor Cyborg (who exists but is not the superhero we know) nor Superman or Aquaman. As mentioned in the film, Michael Keaton returns as Batman, complete with a bat cave, a costume with the iconic yellow logo, and the bat-mobile that we loved and admired in Tim Burton‘s films. Always in form, Keaton gave us a great performance.

Instead, there were many cameos that we could admire during the collision of the different universes during the journey in the Speed ​​Force. Above all to remember Christopher Reeve, the Superman par excellence, made in CGI, together with the first Supergirl, Helen Slater. Also, in CGI also the appearance of the first Superman, George Reeves. One of the most anticipated Superman, especially by the actor who played him and waited 25 years, was Nicolas Cage.

It’s one of the most shocking cameos in the entire film. With shoulder-length hair and battling a massive spider-like monster, the Hollywood star appears in a reference to the nearly-made movie Superman Lives. This film was to be directed by Tim Burton in the 1990s and would have starred Cage opposite Chris Rock as Jimmy Olsen, Sandra Bullock as Lois Lane, and Christopher Walken as Brainiac. Unfortunately, the project was interrupted shortly before filming due to budget problems. The scene also references the infamous story that producer Jon Peters would like to see Superman fight a giant robot spider in the film.

Several Batman appeared in the film: from Adam West, inserted in the film using archival images from the late 60s series to George Clooney, who in the original world takes the place of Ben Affleck in the final. In the same sequence as Adam West, Cesar Romero’s iconic Joker is also present. Recognizable for his iconic laugh, he was the first actor to play the Clown Prince of Crime in live-action. It’s nice to know that, somewhere in the multiverse, West’s Batman and Romero’s Joker are still at loggerheads.

and Romero’s Joker is still at loggerheads. In the film, however, in one of the sequences set in the Batcave, there is a very clear easter egg also linked to another famous Joker: that of Jack Nicholson from Tim Burton’s 1989 film. At one point, Barry finds a “Che laughing” bag. This is the bag containing the toy dentures that move and laugh that we saw in the iconic film. The first Flash, Jay Garrick, who is played here by Teddy Sears, also appears in that scene. The director, Andy Muschietti, also reserved a cameo in the film. The man Barry steals the hot dog from in the finale was him. In the post-credits scene, there is also room for Jason Momoa.
