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.

At 11, Barry Allen’s life changed completely when his mother died in a freak accident and his innocent father was convicted of her murder. Now a crime-scene investigator, his dedication to learn the truth about his mother’s death drives him to follow up on every new scientific advancement and urban legend. When his latest obsession — a particle accelerator heralded as a world-changing invention — causes an explosion, it creates a freak storm and Barry is struck by lightning. He awakes from a coma nine months later with the power of superspeed. When he learns that others who have gained powers use them for evil, he dedicates himself to protecting the innocent, while still trying to solve the older mystery.
Now this is an alternate version of Barry Allen, but the show is simply the best rendition of the character on screen as of yet. If you want as much Flash as possible prior to the feature film, the series is worth the watch.
