Short description
When his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry Allen becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. In order to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry's only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?
What's left behind the scenes
- During the collision of universes, the viewer can notice universes where the events of the series "The Adventures of Superman" (1952-1958) with George Reeves (1914-1959) in the main role unfolded; the science fiction film by Richard Donner (1930-2021) "Superman" (1978), starring Christopher Reeve (1952-2004); and the science fiction action film "Batman" (1966) by Leslie H. Martinson (1915-2016), where Adam West (1928-2017) played Batman. Footage from the "Superman Lives" project with Nicolas Cage, which was never released, was also included in the film. Tim Burton was supposed to direct it in 1998, and the poster designs were even invented and approved, but the project was shut down three weeks before filming began due to the box office failure of Joel Schumacher’s (1939-2020) 1997 science fiction action film "Batman & Robin."
- During the final confrontation with the Kryptonians, a young Barry can be seen wearing one of Michael Keaton's Batman cowl. He turns to the older Barry in this cowl, a reference to Keaton himself, and to how, in the Batman suit, he was unable to turn his head and had to turn his entire torso.
- Ben Affleck stated that he happily appeared in this film as Bruce Wayne (Batman), which sharply contrasted with his opinion of filming the science fiction action film 'Justice League' (Zack Snyder, 2017), where he played the same character.
- The intention to film this movie first became known in 2014, and it was released in 2023. During that time, nine seasons of the television series of the same name were released (2014-2023).
- Henry Cavill originally filmed a cameo as Superman, but his scenes were cut when the reboot of the DC Universe was announced, ending Cavill's plans to return to the franchise.
- Mexican and Brazilian actresses, such as Bruna Marquezine and Isis Valverde, were also considered for the role of Kara, but they were unable to travel to London for filming due to coronavirus restrictions.
- Michael Shannon was unsure about returning to the role of General Zod, remembering the circumstances of his departure from Zack Snyder's franchise, however, Snyder did not object to Shannon reprising the role and informed the actor of this.
- Ezra Miller and British writer and comic book author Grant Morrison created a script that portrayed the main character in a darker tone, but this version of the script was not well-received by the studio.
- Principal photography or production began four years before the film's theatrical release. This was due to several reasons: specifically, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the film industry, doubts within Warner Bros. regarding the future of the DC Extended Universe following a series of unsuccessful releases (which either failed to resonate with the public as expected or did not meet box office targets), and major projects from other studios awaiting wide release, resulting in a lack of a suitable premiere window. Personal life issues and the misconduct of lead actor Ezra Miller (who was arrested multiple times and faced various charges) also played a role.

The personal problems and inappropriate behavior of lead actor Ezra Miller also played a role (he was repeatedly arrested and faced accusations).
- Mexican and Brazilian actresses, such as Bruna Marquezine and Isis Valverde, also auditioned for the role of Kara, but were unable to travel to London for filming due to coronavirus restrictions.
- Michael Shannon was unsure whether it was appropriate to return to the role of General Zod, remembering the circumstances of his departure from Zack Snyder's franchise; however, Snyder himself had no objection to Shannon playing the role again, which he communicated to the actor.
