The Flash. 2023, Starring 


  • Ezra Miller as Barry Allen / The Flash:
    A police forensic investigator from Central City and member of the Justice League who can move at superhuman speeds using the Speed Force.[8] Miller described Barry as multi-dimensional, with human flaws.[9] Miller also portrays an alternate younger version of Barry from 2013,[10] and a dark, corrupted older version of the same Barry. Ian Loh portrays a young Barry in flashbacks,[11] and Ed Wade, who is Miller's acting double, physically portrays 2013-Barry in scenes featuring both versions of the character.[12]
  • Sasha Calle as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl:
    A powerful Kryptonian who possesses powers, abilities, and a costume similar to her cousin, Kal-El / Clark Kent / Superman.[13][14] Calle is the first Latina actress to portray Supergirl.[13][15]
  • Michael Shannon as General Zod:
    A Kryptonian general who possesses the same powers as Superman and was killed by him in Man of Steel (2013).[16] This version hails from an alternate timeline, where Kara landed on Earth instead of Kal-El. Shannon received Man of Steel director Zack Snyder's blessing to reprise his role, after initially being hesitant to do so given the troubled history between Snyder and Warner Bros. regarding his later DCEU productions.[17]
  • Ron Livingston as Henry Allen:
    Barry's father who was wrongfully convicted of his wife's murder. Livingston replaces Billy Crudup, who previously portrayed the character in Justice League (2017) and its director's cut Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021).[11]
  • Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen: Barry's mother who was killed in his youth.[18]
  • Kiersey Clemons as Iris West: A journalist for the Picture News and love interest for Barry.[19]
  • Antje Traue as Faora-Ul: General Zod's second-in-command, who was sent to the Phantom Zone at the end of Man of Steel. This version hails from an alternate timeline, where Kara landed on Earth instead of Kal-El.[16]
  • Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne / Batman:
    A wealthy socialite from Gotham City who moonlights as a crimefighting vigilante. This version of Wayne is a variation of the DCEU character portrayed by Ben Affleck, as a result of Barry's tampering with the timeline. Keaton previously played the character in the films Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992).[20]
    • Affleck appears, uncredited,[21] as the original version of Bruce Wayne / Batman from Barry's timeline and the leader of the Justice League, reprising his role from past DCEU appearances. Director Andy Muschietti said the character has a substantial emotional impact on the film through his relationship with Barry, in part because their mothers were both killed.[22] Affleck said his scenes in the film were his favorite as the character and a "nice finish" for his time as Batman.[23] He added that he felt that the five minutes of his scenes in the film were the first time he "really understood the character" and figured out how to play him.[24]
    • George Clooney appears, uncredited, as a variation of Bruce Wayne, replacing Affleck's version in the ending; Clooney previously portrayed the character in Batman & Robin (1997).[25]

Also reprising their respective DCEU roles are Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth,[26] Temuera Morrison as an alternate version of Tom Curry from 2013-Barry's timeline,[27] Gal Gadot (uncredited) as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman,[28] and Jason Momoa (uncredited) as Arthur Curry / Aquaman.[29] Additionally, Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Rudy Mancuso respectively portray Patty Spivot and Albert Desmond, Barry's co-workers,[30] whilst Sanjeev Bhaskar appears as Barry's boss, David Singh.[25] Luke Brandon Field portrays Al Falcone, the leader of a terrorist crew who robs Gotham General Hospital in the beginning of the film.[31][25] Nikolaj Coster-Waldau appears uncredited as a man whom 2013-Barry steals a piece of pizza from,[32] and director Andy Muschietti makes a cameo appearance as a reporter Barry steals a hot dog from in the present day.[33] Karl Collins appears as Henry Allen's lawyer.[34]

The DCEU version of Superman also appears through the use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) using Henry Cavill's likeness;[35][36] Cavill had filmed additional scenes as the character for the film, but they were removed during post-production.[37][38] Jai Courtney appears as Digger Harkness / Captain Boomerang in a similar CGI sequence in the film.[39] Nicolas Cage makes a cameo appearance as an alternate version of Superman, after he previously voiced the character in the unrelated animated film Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018); he was originally cast as Superman in Tim Burton's unproduced film Superman Lives.[40] Cage shot his scenes through volumetric capture and CGI was used to deage him.[41] Through the use of artificial intelligence and deepfaking, previous incarnations of Superman, Batman, and Supergirl appear during the "Speed Force" sequence, including Christopher Reeve as Superman from the 1978–1987 Superman filmsHelen Slater as Supergirl from Supergirl (1984), Adam West as Batman from the 1966 film and television series, and George Reeves as his version of Superman from Superman and the Mole Men (1951) and Adventures of Superman (1952–1958), through the use of archive footage.[25] Archival recordings of Cesar Romero and Jack Nicholson as their versions of Joker from the 1960s series and 1989 film, respectively, along with Eartha Kitt's Catwoman from the 1960s series, are also featured.[42][43] The character Jay Garrick also appears through the use of CGI; his likeness was based on Jason Ballantine, one of the film's editors

Anachronisms: 

When Gru and the Minions see Jaws at a movie theater, the auditorium has a stadium seating. Stadium Seating in Movie Theaters were not invented until 1995. 

Based on the clothing and hair styles, this movie takes place in the mid 70's however when the Minions were being trained in Kung Fu they were dancing to Funkytown by Lipps Inc. This song wasn't released until March of 1980. However, this is obviously played for laughs.

Based on the clothing and hair styles this movie takes place in the mid 70's. However the Minions mimic the greeting from Close Encounters of the Third Kind(1977) which wasn't released until 1977. However, this is obviously played for laughs.

In the scene at the Bank of Evil, Vector's father shows us the same photo that we see on his desk in the first movie. This would put Vector's age at least the same as Gru's. In the first film, we see a young Gru watching the moon landing. In this film he's supposed to be 11 years old. Set in 1976, that would make young Gru 4 years old in 1969.

Gru puts Blue painters tape in his tool bag. Blue painters tape was not invented until 1988.

Several vans in the movie used the AVL, Viscous 6, and the civilians appear to be 1979 Dodge Vans.
