During the recent DC FanDome event, The Flash producer Barbara Muschietti spilt some beans about the movie. She said that she wants the audiences to see it, so she will not reveal much about it.

She explained that Flash is the superhero of the movie because he is the bridge between all of those characters and timelines. And in a way, it restarts everything and does not forget anything, Barbara noted.
