The Flash

Starring: Ezra Miller, Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck, Michael Shannon, Sasha Calle, Maribel Verdú, Ron Livingston.

What’s the story? Miller plays Barry Allen, a.k.a. the titular, lightning-fast superhero, in the troubled action-adventure film, so long in gestation that two directors (Seth Grahame-Smith and Rick Famuyiwa) came and went before Warner Bros. settled on Andy Muschietti, director of “It” and “It Chapter Two.” The time-traveling plot of this DC Comics film, in which the protagonist is trying to save his mother (Verdú), involves two versions of Barry; two Batmans (Keaton and Affleck); the debut of Supergirl (Calle); and the return of Shannon as General Zod, a Kryptonian villain who was killed by Superman in “Man of Steel” — and later resuscitated as Doomsday in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
