What to Watch Before Seeing The Flash in Theaters

Finally after multiple delays DC's The Flash will hit theaters on June 16, 2023. However, before you head to the movies to see the film lets get amped by watching some other movies and tv shows.

 

With The Flash only having small appearances in most DC Extended Universe films, most of the films are just setting the mood for the upcoming release. Although not all movies are a requirement to understand some films, we put together a few in different categories to help.

 

Must Watch: These films are highly recommended in order to get a full understanding of what might take place in The Flash. Of course they films include the character's introduction and progression over the past few years.

 

Should Watch: With not much screen time for The Flash it only makes sense to watch his entire DCEU catalog and these are the other films in said catalog.

 

Extra Credit: While not required by any means, this category is just worth it when you see our selections. 

Must Watch // Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021)

The Flash | Snyder Cut

Determined to ensure Superman’s ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne aligns forces with Diana Prince with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions. The task proves more difficult than Bruce imagined, as each of the recruits must face the demons of their own pasts to transcend that which has held them back, allowing them to come together, finally forming an unprecedented league of heroes. Now united, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash may be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf, DeSaad and Darkseid and their dreadful intentions.

Barry meets Iris West and develops the ability to travel back in time, which he uses to save the world. Additionally, the possible future version of Barry also makes an appearance.

Now you can pick between Justice League or the Snyder Cut, but we recommend the latter.
