The Flash Film's Heart-Wrenching Ending Edit: Grant Gustin's Epic Easter Egg Will Leave You in Awe!
The Flash movie delivers an emotional ending edit that surprises fans, leaving them longing for more Grant Gustin moments A controversial snub that sparks debate among viewers
Summary
The Flash movie's ending edit adds Grant Gustin's Barry Allen, satisfying fans who were disappointed by his absence in the DCEU multiverse film.
The revised conclusion depicts The Flash, portrayed by Ezra Miller, returning home only to discover a sincere message from Iris, accompanied by a poignant melody. The initial ending, showcasing a brief appearance by Batman played by George Clooney, faced criticism for its sudden change in mood and absence of emotional depth, ultimately making the fan-edited version more emotionally resonant.
Grant Gustin's Barry Allen makes a special appearance in a new The Flash movie ending edit, delighting fans with a perfect Easter Egg. Despite his absence in the DCEU's multiverse film, Gustin, who portrayed Barry Allen for nine seasons in the Arrowverse series The Flash, now gets his well-deserved recognition. Twitter user @kylelindecke shared a fan edit that cleverly incorporates Gustin's version of The Flash into the movie's finale using a catchy song.
Why The Flash’s Ending Was Bad
The Flash video edit concludes with a poignant moment as Barry returns from his thrilling journey through the multiverse only to discover a heartfelt message left by Iris in his apartment. As the scene unfolds, Gustin's gentle voice softly sings "Runnin' Home to You" - the very song that Barry Allen from the Arrowverse sang to propose to Iris West. The melody gradually swells, filling the air as the screen fades to black. This alternate version of the film grants The Flash a profoundly moving final scene, far surpassing the emotional impact of its theatrical release.
The ending of The Flash had several poignant moments, as Barry bid farewell to his mother and successfully proved his father's innocence in her murder by tampering with the past to a small extent. However, the ultimate scene of the film fell short in evoking the same emotional depth. Following his multiverse escapade, Barry returned to his own reality, albeit with one significant alteration.
Ben Affleck's Batman did not make an appearance, and he was not replaced by Michael Keaton's Dark Knight, who had died by the end of "The Flash." However, the Bruce Wayne that meets Ezra Miller's Barry Allen happens to be none other than George Clooney. Clooney had portrayed Bruce in the infamously criticized 1997 film "Batman & Robin," making his return a clear joke and a fun cameo. This cameo did not hint at any future appearances of other versions of Batman.
The decision to use "The Flash's" final scene as a joke was ill-advised, considering the movie had just presented one of DC's most heart-wrenching live-action moments when Barry bid farewell to his mother. Clooney's Batman appearing caused a significant shift in tone, which was further exacerbated by the perplexing choice to show one of Barry's teeth falling out with poor CGI as the camera zoomed in on him. This is why the edited ending of "The Flash" with Grant Gustin singing and Barry discovering Iris' message resonates more as a fitting final scene for the DCEU film.
