‘The Flash’ Ending Explained: What It Means For DC’s Future

The following contains SPOILERS for The Flash. Once you see them, you can’t outrun them no matter how much you tap into the Speed Force.

The Flash is the first solo movie for the Fastest Man Alive. And while it does feature a lot of ther DC characters, and a ton of Michael Keaton’s Batman, it really is a Flash story at its core. And yes, it is based on the DC Comics series Flashpoint, but it also brings a lot of new twists to that epic crossover — especially in its big finale, and its shocking cliffhanger and post-credits scene.

In our latest Flash video, we break down those surprising final moments, and discuss what they could mean not only for the future of the Flash franchise, but for all of the DC movie universe as a whole. (Spoiler alert: Things ain’t looking so good for the DCEU.) We’ll also discuss how seriously to take that final surprise cameo, and we’ll get into the post-credits scene you see if you stick through all the way to the very end of the movie.
