The Flash movie will reportedly reveal the future plans for the DC cinematic universe and “lend clarity” to the future of the Justice League.
The report states that The Flash will set up DC’s “new status quo,” and help make sense of the studio’s somewhat messy shared universe that revolves around their superhero ensemble Justice League.
Though it is currently unknown how closely The Flash will follow the source material, it is worth noting that, following the Flashpoint arc, the DC universe was reset and rebranded as “The New 52”.
Another detail that has since been revealed regarding the DC cinematic universe is that director Matt Reeves’ The Batman will be set on Earth-2, meaning that the DCEU will end up with several shared universes all happening at once, but separately from each other.
