The total cohesion plan between films, TV series, gaming and animation will officially take place in 2025 with Superman: Legacies, defined as the starting point of the new DC Universe. There is so much waiting for The Flash which, according to the first test screenings, obtained very positive reactions from the public, being defined as DC’s No Way Home. Directed by Andy Muschietti, the film will hit theaters on June 16, 2023 (a new trailer will be shown in February at the SuperBowl).
The concept of the multiverse will finally be introduced also in DC and Barry Allen will meet two Batmans: that of Michael Keaton and that of Ben Affleck. There are also rumors of other heroes from the past, but only through archival footage. Although production finished in October 2021, the film has undergone numerous rewrites and additions along the way. The reasons for the delay on the roadmap are due to the disputes related to Ezra Miller, later resolved, and the use of an innovative technology that allows you to get multiple versions of the same actor on screen.
