The official trailer for The Flash dropped on Super Bowl Sunday and further heightened interest in the DC Universe (DCU) film, which is set to release on June 16. Before the trailer’s release, the film had been receiving a contradicting bevy of both positive and negative press. As early as 2020, fans became excited about the film when it was reported Michael Keaton was in talks to reprise his role as Batman for the first time in over 30 years. The excitement was only amplified when it was revealed that Michael Shannon’s General Zod was also returning and that the film would see Sasha Calle’s DCU debut as Supergirl.

In March 2022, though, The Flash started gaining attention for the growing notoriety of its lead star, Ezra Miller, who has been involved in numerous controversies and run-ins with the law. Hence, viewers weren’t quite sure how to feel about the film moving forward. However, fortunately, The Flash trailer showed the film might be Batman’s and Supergirl’s movie instead of the Flash’s. Both of them stole every scene they appeared in and raised excitement for the film far more than the two Millers/Flashes did. Viewers were also intrigued to see Ben Affleck’s Batman in the trailer as a reminder that the film will feature two iterations of Batman. Affleck will still appear as the main-timeline Batman but Keaton’s 1989-1992 Batman will return in an alternate universe.
