A new trailer for ‘The Flash’ has arrived alongside the CinemaCon screening of the film. The first teaser for the film debuted during this year’s Super Bowl, showing Miller revving up on the big screen this summer along with a list of actors who also includes the return of Keaton as Batman for the first time in three decades, as well as Supergirl.
As good as rumored
Keaton also reprises his famous 1989 Batman quote in the trailer, saying the iconic line: “You wanna go crazy? Let’s go crazy.” But the ones who really went crazy were those who attended CinemaCon in Las Vegas, the first to see the new DC superhero movie, that will shatter the multiverse and highlight the return of Ezra Miller as the scarlet speedster, Barry Allen.
After Tuesday night’s screening, attendees took to social media to share their impressions. EW’s Lauren Huff said The Flash “is a riot from start to finish” after teasing an opening sequence “that really has to be seen to be believed”. She tweeted: “No wonder WB is banking on this, it’s a hit.”
To share what makes the #TheFlash special would be to spoil it. Go as blind as possible. It sticks to the landing, begins with a sequence that truly needs to be seen to be believed, and is a riot from start to finish. No wonder WB is confident on this one – it’s a hit.
