The DC movie, The Flash, had to be interrupted after an accident involving a scene in which Batman is seen riding his ‘Bat Motorcycle’ this Friday (30).

The accident happened when a cameraman, who was also on a motorcycle, was filming the scene. The two collided on the move. Leaked photos from the set showed the exact moment when this scene was being shot.

According to an eyewitness report for Glasgow Live, the cameraman ended up riding under the motorcycle with Batman’s stuntman.

Warner Bros. and The Flash’s team have not yet made any official statement about the extent of the crew member’s injuries. No word on how long the film will be delayed.

So far, the movie is scheduled to hit the big screens in theaters on November 4, 2022.

In addition to the actor’s story about the Penguin, it will highlight other famous Batman foes, including Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Ra’s al Ghul, Talia al Ghul, Mad Hatter, and Red Hood.

Dan Mora, who is participating in the creation of the story, posted the comic cover and a preview of Catwoman and Penguin’s concept work on his social media:

The Flash: Michael Keaton Explains How He Felt Wearing Batman Suit Again

PopCorn Princess 2021-08-11

The Flash movie will mark Michael Keaton‘s return to the role of Batman, which he played in the late 80s and early 90s in two films.

After so long, the veteran actor told how it was like to wear the uniform, explaining that it felt surprisingly comfortable. Besides him, Ben Affleck also returns to live another version of Batman.

Keaton was on the TV show Good Morning Chicago, where he was asked about how it felt to return to playing one of the most iconic characters of all time, also for his career.

“It was shockingly normal. It was weird. Like I went ‘Oh, oh yeah, that’s right.’ But also then you start to play the scenes and a lot of memories, a lot of interesting sense memories (start to come back).” he said.

Keaton’s Batman is expected to be a significant link between DC‘s various multiverses featured in the film.

The plot, directed by Andy Muschietti, partially adapts the Flashpoint comics, which caused major changes in the structure of DC.

The Flash: Movie Villain Set To Be Barry Allen Darker Version

The Flash is back. After his appearance in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the character will have his solo movie next year. So far, the film has had no official antagonist. However, it seems that the identity of The Flash‘s villain may already be known.

The Flash villain would be an evil version of himself

The Flash is one of the most anticipated films of 2022. The film starring Ezra Miller will be the first adaptation of the character to the big screen and will feature numerous DC characters.

Keaton’s Batman, Batfleck, Supergirl, and Gustin’s Flash are some of the characters we will see in the film. However, despite being already in the final filming stage and with a cast more than announced, the film still has no villain. Or at least it didn’t have one until recently.

Ezra Miller will return as The Flash in the character's solo movie that promises to shake up the DCEU as we knew it. — Ezra Miller will return as The Flash in the character’s solo movie that promises to shake up the DCEU as we knew it.

According to The Direct, The Flash villain would be nothing more and nothing less than a dark version of the Flash himself. That is, Flash would be both the protagonist and the antagonist. This would fit with some leaks from the film set in which we saw Barry Allen meeting with his own counterpart.

The Flash movie will take on elements of Reverse-Flash

In addition, according to this exclusive, the film’s plot would be strongly inspired by Flashpoint and the Reverse-Flash.

In the comics, Barry traveled back in time to save his mother, causing numerous events in the DC universe to be different from what happened, creating a totally different world. Bruce Wayne died in place of his father, Superman fell in the middle of Metropolis, and the Atlanteans were at war with the Amazons.

Keaton's Batman is coming back to stay in this new DCEU. — Keaton’s Batman is coming back to stay in this new DCEU.

So the film promises to be a faithful comic book adaptation, albeit with its liberties, including previously seen versions of the characters as well as new versions—all in a movie that looks set to change the DCEU as we knew it so far.

The Flash will hit theaters on November 4, 2022. The film will be directed by Andy Muschietti and stars Ezra Miller, Michael Keaton, Sasha Calle, Ben Affleck, Kiersey Clemons, Maribel Verdú, and Ron Livingston.

The Flash: Ben Affleck’s Batman Returns With Behind-The-Scenes Photos

PopCorn Princess 2021-07-26

Confirmed in the Flash movie from pretty much day one, Ben Affleck’s Batman has appeared for the first time in behind-the-scenes footage. While it’s unclear if it’s the Oscar winner under the suit, the images show the Dark Knight riding around town on his motorcycle.

The actor’s return to the Batman mantle is something that fans of the DC movie universe have been waiting for for a long time.

Although it is most likely just a stuntman recording the shenanigans on a Batmotorcycle, there is a suspicion that it is indeed the Batfleck version – although the costume doesn’t reveal anything entirely new or unusual.

Fans have pointed out that the motorcycle’s design looks a lot like the Batmobile used in Affleck’s films. Other behind-the-scenes photos show some details of how the production has transformed the city of Glasgow, Scotland, into Gotham City and Central City.

The Flash‘s solo film will adapt Flashpoint, the iconic comic arc in which the Flash messes up the timeline by going back in time and preventing the murder of his mother. In addition, the movie may show an older, embittered, and violent Batman.

Ezra Miller returns to the role of the speedster, Michael Keaton will be an older version of Batman/Bruce Wayne, Sasha Calle will be Supergirl, Maribel Verdú (“The Labyrinth of the Faun”) will be Nora Allen, the Flash’s mother, and Ron Livingston (“The Conjuring”) will be Henry Allen, the hero’s father.

The Flash is scheduled to premiere on November 4, 2022.

Man of Steel Emerged After Creative Block in Nolan’s Batman

PopCorn Princess 2021-07-23

Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy may not be part of DC’s Extended Universe, but it certainly has a connection to its origin.

When The Man of Steel, Henry Cavill‘s first Superman movie, was released, many people were sure that he would meet Christian Bale’s Batman. Of course, that ended up not happening, but the relationship exists.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, screenwriter David S. Goyer, responsible for both the Superman script and the third in Nolan’s trilogy, said that the director helped him during a moment of creative block.

The duo decided to take a week off to clear up ideas and find solutions for the story of Bane and Talia Al Ghul, and from there, a new script was born.

“What happened during that week is I ended up rereading the first few years of Action Comics and writing down a two-pager for a Superman movie. So when we came back, Chris said, “Well, have any ideas?” And I said, “I’ve got this Superman movie that has nothing to do with The Dark Knight Rises.” That’s how Man of Steel happened. We ended up pitching it to Warner Bros. and getting that going,” he revealed.
