The Flash was such a nightmare, it went through three different studio regimes and had three different endings.
In all three endings,[Spoiler (click to open)]Barry gets his father exonerated and released from jail, but still doesn't fully reset the timeline like he thought.It's after where things get wildly different.
Ending 1
- Under the supervision of Warners studio head Toby Emmerich and DC Films Walter Hamada. Pre-WBD merger.
- Hamada wanted Flash to be a major reset, have a sequel, and then move to Crisis on Infinite Earths.
- After leaving the courthouse, Barry meets Calle's Supergirl and Keaton's Batman, reversing their deaths and keeping them in the main DCEU.
- Under the supervision of new Warners studio heads Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy. Post-WBD merger.
- Same as Ending 1, with Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot tagging along.
- Under the supervision of new DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran.
- This time Barry only meets Bruce, played by George Clooney.
- Gunn and Safran winged it, called Clooney's agent (Bryan Lourd) and got Clooney to watch. He liked it, so he did it.
- Ending was shot in January, took a day on the WB lot and the Clooney reveal wasn't fully shown until press screenings last week.
