Among all of the quick shots was one of Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) sitting at a prison’s visitor center talking to his father, Henry Allen (Billy Crudup). Fans of the Scarlet Speedster may have gotten quite excited as the scene is a large part of Barry’s origin story.

Those who watch The Flash on The CW, it’s a storyline that shapes the character’s roots, and the main reason for the existence of the ever-popular Flashpoint crossover event in the DC Comics Universe.
For those that aren’t too in-tune with The Flash — as it’s not an origin as well-known as Thomas and Martha Wayne’s disastrous stroll down a dimly lit alley — Barry Allen’s arch-nemesis Professor Zoom/Reverse-Flash goes back in time and murders Barry’s mother Nora. And since the Central City Police Department doesn’t quite believe in time-traveling scientists, Henry is framed with the murder.
With Henry Allen making his DCEU debut in Justice League, it may paint a more clear picture of what Warner Brothers is planning with the solo The Flash outing, which is currently under a script re-write after having gone through two directors.
In Justice League, fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Justice League is directed by Zack Snyder, from a screenplay by Chris Terrio, and features an ensemble cast that includes Ben Affleck (Batman), Henry Cavill (Superman), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Ezra Miller (The Flash), Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Ray Fisher (Cyborg), Ciarán Hinds (Steppenwolf), Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Diane Lane (Martha Kent), Jeremy Irons (Alfred Pennyworth), J.K. Simmons (Commissioner Gordon), Amber Heard (Mera), Kiersey Clemons (Iris West) and Jesse Eisenberg (Lex Luthor).
DC and Warner Bros. have a full slate ahead, with Teen Titans: The Judas Contract coming first on April 4, 2017. After that it’s time for Wonder Woman on June 2, 2017, followed by Justice League on November 17, 2017. The Batman is expected sometime in 2018, with The Flash debuting on March 23, 2018. Aquaman is set for October 5, 2018, and Nightwing’s solo feature is due sometime in 2019.
