A solo flash film has been in the making for decades with numerous directors and actors attached to the project at some time.

Since being hired, Muschietti has regularly shared updates about the film on his social media. He recentlyshared the first look at Keaton’s Batman emblemcovered in blood.
As most fans know, the Flashpoint storyline in the comics is dark and brutal. The official synopsis for the film is, “Barry Allen travels back in timeto prevent his mother’s murder, which brings unintended consequences to his timeline”. While the film won’t feature Wonder Woman beheading Mera, Muschietti has teased that the film will be emotional and dark.
There have been reports that Barry’s new suit will be designed by Michael Keaton’s Bruce Wayne. While Miller’s suit inJustice Leaguewas self-designed by his character and was far from comic accurate. But based on the official concept art and this update, it looks like Muschietti is going for a costume more in line with thescarlet speedster’s classic red and gold colors.
