Warning: the following story contains spoilers for The Flash.
Well, friends, after a disappointing theatrical run—The Flash is streaming on Max. I'd rather recommend you use the time you'd spend watching (or, dare I ask, rewatching?) The Flash on Max's Telemarketers—which is easily one of the best documentaries of the year—but that's not why you're here. Let's commence The Flash postgame, shall we?
As if two Barry Allen's (Ezra Miller), a new Supergirl, the return of General Zod, and Michael Keaton back in the Batman cowl wasn't enough, The Flash is a rollercoaster ride full of recognizable faces. Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne, Jeremy Irons's Alfred, and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman also all make appearances throughout the film—turning The Flash into a Justice League movie as much as Captain America: Civil War was basically another Avengers film for Marvel.

But, it doesn't stop there. No, of course not! After some shockingly high-profile cameos that we will not reveal here, The Flash ends with a post credits scene just as confusing as its position in the new DC universe. Do Miller and The Flash have a place in the new DCU helmed by James Gunn? It may surprise viewers that by the end of The Flash, that question still isn't answered. In fact, I now have more questions than before! Since The Flash deals with so many alternative timelines, it's quite impossible to know just what version of a new character I'm actually looking at, and if any of them have a place in the new DCU moving forward. After all, Gunn is currently searching for a new Batman at the same time that Keaton is being brought back and Robert Pattinson is gearing up for The Batman 2.
What I do know for certain—other than some more mind-boggling spoilers that audiences are going to go absolutely bonkers over—is that the sole post-credits scene is not where the action goes down. It's just a quick comical moment between The Flash and Jason Momoa's Aquaman, and one that doesn't even tease Momoa's upcoming turn in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, on December 20, 2023. We'll... cross that bridge when we get there.
