‘The Flash’: Astonishing Dark Flash Concept Art Revealed

The Flash saw a brand new reinvention of the Speed Force’s Grim Reaper with the introduction of the Dark Flash. Brand new concept art offers fans their best look yet at the film’s villain.

The Flash struggled with a lot of things, though perhaps none more than hiding the Dark Flash twist. Between leaks from toy shows and poor trailer editing, almost every fan knew that the past version of Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen would turn into the Dark Flash in the film’s climax. A brand new 3D render of the villain has been revealed, showcasing the insane detail the film’s FX designers put into the villain:

Here’s a 3D render of Dark Flash.

Another struggle The Flash had during its run was the poor nature of the VFX in the eyes of fans. While the film impressed many with seamlessly featuring two copies of Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen at once, the cameos in particular served as a sore spot for many people, with some comparing them to PS2 graphics. However, it does seem like the FX team was given ample time for the Dark Flash, which serves to elevate at least a small part of the controversial film.

The Flash’s DC Universe future

Warner Bros. Discovery already has a script for a potential sequel to The Flash, written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, the man behind the two Aquaman movies starring Jason Momoa. However, James Gunn and Peter Safran did not discuss the Flash sequel during their DC Universe presentation.

Directed by Andy Muschietti from a script written by Birds of Prey scribe Christina Hodson, The Flash is inspired by the Flashpoint comic book storyline, which followed Barry Allen as he navigated an altered DC Universe. Written by Geoff Johns and penciled by Andy Kuber, Flashpoint radically altered the status of the DC Comics universe and led to the launch of the New 52 titles.

In addition to Ezra Miller, The Flash also features Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck as two separate versions of Batman, Ron Livingston as Henry Allen, Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen, Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, Michael Shannon as General Zod, Antje Traue as Faora-Ul and Sasha Calle as Supergirl.
