The Flash is a superhero film based on the character of the same name.

The Dozierverse's Batman, Robin, and Catwoman appear through computer generated footage. The same means are also done to Christopher Reeve, George Reeves and Helen Slater's versions of Superman and Supergirl. Henry Cavill's incarnation also appears through similar means, though the character had appeared in several scenes for the film that were ultimately cut.[1] Jay Garrick also appears through computer generated imagery, though his model is never credited. Several Batman villains also cameo through archival recordings, such as Jack Nicholson and Cesar Romero's versions of the Joker, and Eartha Kitt's Catwoman.
Production[]
Pre-Production[]
Originally Denise Di Novi was going to produce the movie but she was replaced by Barbara Muschietti when WarnerMedia shifted away to new writer and director. Set construction started in April at Leavesden Studios. Ray Fisher was initially announced to appear in the Flash movie but was written out when he refused to appear in films overseen by Walter Hamada.[2]
Filming[]
Principal photography began on April 19, 2021. On April 30, it was reported that Knebworth House was being used for external shots for Wayne Manor, with Hatfield House being used for the interior shots. On May 12, a enthusiast caught a video of smoke machines being used on the location. On June 4, it was reported by several tabloids that filming would also take place in Edinburgh[3] and Glasgow[4], both of which would be used as the filming location for Gotham City.
On June 4, Muschietti shared an image of the Keaton Batsymbol on Instagram, teasing the Batsuit his version would be wearing. On June 14 and 18, he shared looks at both the Flash and Supergirl's images. On June 19, the public took images from vehicles from London's streets, many of which implied it was being used as the filming location for Central City. A member of the public also captured a video of Calle being "flown" via cranes. Others showed Keaton on set as Bruce Wayne
On July 26, paparazzi photos and videos appeared on social media of a stunt performer dressed as Affleck's Batman on the Batcycle.[5] Filming continued until October, 2022.
