The Flash will be vital to both the past and future of DC in film, meaning many prior plot points from the DCEU will be crucial to Barry Allen's first solo adventure. Since appearing for the first time in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in a brief cameo, the Flash has been established as one of the DCEU's core heroes. This only continued in the dual versions of Justice League released in 2017 and 2021 respectively.
However, when James Gunn was hired as the co-head of DC Studios in October 2022, many wondered how the universe would change going forward. In January 2023, Gunn revealed that The Flash will act as a reset of sorts, paving the way into the new-look DCU through Barry's journey. As a result, the marketing for the film has made it clear that - while important to the future of DC - The Flash movie will include many exciting elements of the DCEU's past, meaning these 10 plot points should be kept in mind prior to viewing the 2023 film.
