The Flash hits theaters March 23rd, 2018. It's the first solo movie of Ezra Miller's version of DC's Scarlet Speedster.

Chances are this particular incarnation of The Flash will also show up in Dawn of Justice (2016) and, who knows, perhaps in Justice League Part One (2017).

The obvious question here is: who will The Flash be? Will DC keep his identity and grace the big screen with a new version of Barry Allen "“ well, new if compared with Grant Gustin's Barry Allen, as seen on TV?

Or will they pick another Crimson Comet for the cinematic universe? Hit the jump to see Phil Lord's answer!

And here comes the revelation!
