The Flash, an upcoming Warner Bros. film starring Ezra Miller as Barry Allen, is reportedly performing well with viewers at test screenings. Miller has previously appeared in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Justice League, and Peacemaker as ‘The Flash’, but The Flash will be their first solo adventure. 

The Flash, however, was mired in development limbo for years, with a number of directors and writers joining and leaving the project. Many controversies surrounding the movie and its lead actor surfaced throughout its development. 

One of these recently occurred when an unnamed audience member was discovered secretly filming the movie. The Flash, a film produced by Warner Bros. and DC Studios, was recently screened, and according to recent reports, a viewer was reportedly detained during the event. Why?

The Flash is Praised By Critics And Viewers

As The Flash approaches its theatrical debut, early reviews of the movie are starting to surface, with many fans and critics praising it as “one of the best superhero films of all time”.

Additionally, the movie reportedly performed well with test audiences, outperforming all previous DC Extended Universe movies and matching the test screening ratings for Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy.

Director Andrés Muschietti explained that The Flash would serve as the model for subsequent films based on DC Properties in his 2020 interview.

At the time, Muschietti said:

This movie is a bit of a hinge in that it presents a story that implies a unified universe where all the cinematic iterations that we’ve seen before are valid. It’s inclusive in the sense that it is saying all that you’ve seen exists, and everything that you will see exists, in the same unified multiverse.”

After years of development, rewrites, and ongoing controversies involving its lead actor, The Flash finished filming in October 2021. Since Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016, Miller has played Barry Allen/The Flash in the DC Extended Universe. 

The Flash is set to hit ‌theaters on June 16.
