I don't normally read comic books but the Barry Allen flash comics were good. I downloaded some of them as a teenage and they were cool. Totally need a movie of those! ... hopefully it won't suck like green lantern or wonder woman ☹️

So, this is the leaked plot doing the rounds. Read at your own peril.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Main plot elements
There's 100% a tease for Reverse Flash, when Barry’s mom is killed, a yellow figure smiles at Barry and lunges at him, Barry escapes before the yellow figure can get to him. No actor or voice, it’s pretty hard to make the figure out because he’s just standing in the dark and you can only see his yellow arm and his red eyes.
The emotional parts are good, Ezra has amazing chemistry with the woman who plays Barry’s mom and I heard people started crying when Barry realised he couldn’t save her. It’s 1000x better than the one in the CW.
Black Flash is not really the villain of the film, it is Future Flash(wearing Black Flash suit). They kind of merged the 2 characters, it’s essentially Future Flash just wearing Black Flash’s suit. There are 3 Barry’s in the film and the Barry we see in the trailers (long hair) gets brutally killed by Evil Barry (Future Flash, who is also him from the future. [NB: The film’s Future Flash is an amalgam of the comics' versions of Future Flash and Black Flash*]
The future Flash is actually just the 2nd Barry (long hair) but from the future. His motivation is that when DCEU Barry came to his universe, he ruined everything and destroyed his world. He had gotten obsessed into saving his world and keeps trying to reverse time from it getting destroyed but it fails. So he decided to go after the person who caused this, our Barry.
Future Flash spent 10 years trying to reverse time and figure out a safe way to stop Zod from destroying his world.
Barry was about to go back in time but someone(future Barry) tried to kill him and accidentally knocked him out of the speed force, into an alternate universe, Keaton’s world.
Sasha Calle Supergirl is one of the best parts of the movie, with some calling it the best performance in the movie
Barry 1 (our Barry) got stuck in Keaton's world and finds Barry 2 who also has flash powers and they both get Keaton Batman and Supergirl to fight a threat (Zod?). They lose and Barry 1 & 2 try to reverse time to save the universe but it fails. Barry 1 gives up but Barry 2 doesn’t. That’s when Future Flash(Future Barry 2) appears, revealing he tried to repeat time multiple times but it failed. So instead of repeating time to stop this incident, he enters the speed force to try and kill the person who caused this in the first place, Barry 1.
The way Ezra’s Barry is portrayed in the film has him act more like a Wally/Bart hybrid then he does Barry in some scenes.Apart from some scenes, Ezra acts a bit like comic Barry. He gets the heart and essence of the character right and only acts like a Wally/Bart hybrid in some scenes(mostly the humour parts). Like freaking out like a fangirl when he sees the Batmobile.
Trust me when I say this, you're gonna love Ezra as Barry more than you did in both Justice League movies.
Zod successfully kills Keaton's Batman and Supergirl. Supergirl gets her neck snapped, it’s actually pretty ****ing brutal. Worse than when Superman snapped Zod's.
Zod kills Cavill's Superman as a baby, "killing super baby leak" is 100% true.
Michael Shannon reprises his role as Zod.
Cage is also not Superman in Keaton's world, it’s Cavill, you know, before he got killed as a baby by Zod.
Future Flash and Flash have a massive race because Future Flash wants to kill him - Barry doesn’t wanna die. When they do that, they travel into the multiverse. We see a shit load of different universes - Pattinson’s Batman universe, Lynda Carter Wonder Woman, Adam West Batman, Grant Gustin Flash, etc.
Superman’s existence is left somewhat ambiguous.
Zod and Faora are alive in the new timeline since Superman never killed them.
Any film and tv show (including Peacemaker) released between Man of Steel and Shazam 2 are set in the old timeline. Shazam 2 is set in the old timeline. Everything after The Flash is set in the new timeline: Green Lantern, Zatanna, Batgirl etc.
Iris is only a cameo in this movie, she only appears at the end when Barry’s father is released from prison.
WB's plan is to use Keaton as a temporary replacement for DCEU Batman and after Crisis (which they are leading up to) Pattinson will be the new DCEU Batman. Update: They now say that all they know is that Pattinson will be involved in Crisis, nothing of whether he will join the DCEU full-time afterwards.
Person said the blonde girl who got casted in The Flash [Saoirse-Monica Jackson] could be playing either a gender bent Mirror Master or Killer Frost but that’s them guessing because they genuinely don’t know.
Don’t expect any wild cameos, keep expectations low
I feel like overall this film will not only be beloved by general audiences, but hardcore Flash fans as well
The Flash feels more like a classic fiction adventure in the vein of stories like Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz than a typical superhero movie.
[Batfleck] doesn’t die but isn’t part of the new timeline.
No reference [to Wally] whatsoever, from what I heard
Pretty brief [Reverse-Flash cameo], only hardcore DC fans will notice him, mainstream audiences gonna be confused AF.
Mid/post-credits scenes (order subject to change)
Mid-credits: Flash will tell Aquaman that he wonders if a Superman exists here too, Aquaman looks at him confused
It then proceeds to show Supergirl smiling at Barry and he smiles back and it shows him looking over what’s next to her - his face is full of shock and the movie ends. Maybe a Cavill nod but I don’t know.
Post-credits: Affleck Crisis tease. "Come find us Barry."
[Less Credible] Regarding Ezra's future
If a Flash recast were to happen, Sam Clafflin is someone you can expect to be the new Barry Allen/Flash
