From these photos, the suit appears to be a modified version of the outfit in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, with the most noticeable change being the back. As far as we know, The Flash will be Ben Affleck’s final time donning the cape and cowl and retroactively connect the DC Extended Universe with the Tim Burton-directed Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992). This story element is likely via an adaptation of the Flashpoint storyline (in which Barry Allen travels back in time hoping to make positive changes, but has a huge ripple effect on the wider DC Universe).
Kiersey Clemons will reprise her role as Iris West from Zack Snyder’s Justice League (she was the woman Barry saved from the bus crash) and Ezra Miller will once again portray the Scarlet Speedster after debuting in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), cameoing in Suicide Squad (also 2016), and appearing in a larger role for the 2017 and 2021 Justice League movies.
Ron Livingston replaces Billy Crudup as Henry Allen, while new cast members include Maribel Verdu as Nora Allen, Sasha Calle debuting as the DCEU’s Supergirl, Michael Keaton reprising his Batman, and more.
