While DC is set to release its first major movie for the year, The Batman, next month, fans know that the DCEU is still alive even after the massive changes that have taken place in the last few years.
This includes the solo Flash film, which will arrive later this year. The movie will feature Ezra Miller’s iteration of Barry Allen, the fastest man alive. Along with him, the movie will also reintroduce Michael Keaton as the Batman, along with a returning Ben Affleck, who has stated that it will be the last time he will wear the cape. Other than the two Dark Knights, there’s a new Kryptonian as well in Sasha Calle’s Supergirl.
Even though the movie has received a teaser, fans are yet to see what character will play the antagonist to Ezra’s Barry Allen. However, a new set photo revealing the stunt crew’s t-shirt suggests a Flash rogue that first debuted in the comics of the late 90s.
Did a Flash stunt performer spoil the film’s villain? This stunt team crew shirt went under the radar until recently when it was discovered over the weekend.

The stunt crew’s t-shirt showcases the silhouettes of both Supergirl and Batman. But along with that, there’s also a silhouette of a speedster, and while most people would believe that it’s the Flash, the lightning logo is colored red instead of Barry Allen’s iconic yellow.
In the comics, speedsters like the Reverse Flash have used the red lightning bolt. However, the speedster on the t-shirt looks a bit incomplete with a very ghostly feel, which suggests that the villain might be the Black Flash.
In the speedster world, Black Flash is akin to Death, and it appears to take the former back into the speed force. The character has appeared in many comic book runs involving both Wally West and Barry Allen.
Black Flash has also appeared in the TV show adaptation of the Flash, where the villain posed a challenge to Barry Allen when he tried to alter the timeline.
The teaser for The Flash movie suggests that Ezra’s Barry Allen will also alter the timeline, and it seems like he might even prevent the death of his mother. With an altered timeline, it seems like the speedster will have his hand full in trying to stop this scary entity while he fixes the mess he created.
