To restore order and undo the repercussions of his temporal intervention, The Flash must assemble a formidable team. The combined forces of The Flash, Batman (portrayed by Michael Keaton), and Supergirl (played by Sasha Calle) unite in a heroic alliance.

“But I hear there’s been some—I’ve gotta admit, I’m not looking at the trades every morning, keeping my finger on the pulse of things, but I know there’s been some issues. It seems like they’re ready to let it out. If you’re talking about Ezra [Miller], I thought Ezra was lovely—very kind to me when I was there. It’s difficult to talk about, but I always give people a lot of slack in this business, because there’s a lot of people in this business that have issues. And some people have more privacy than others. Any time somebody is out in the spotlight getting picked on, I feel for them. Even if it’s warranted, it’s still a horrible situation.”
