Dozens of attempts (beginning in the 1980s and continuing until 2016) by film companies met with the incompletion of a Flash movie for a variety of reasons. The Flash was first seen in a movie in 2016 with "Batman vs Superman - Dawn of Justice".  There were a few other bit parts in several movies after that, but despite a revival of hope for a movie centering around Flash in 2018, the character has not been seen in any films that were not animated. The television series for the Flash is now in its 8th season with over 150 episodes aired. There are dozens of DC Comics animated films in which the Flash is a part.
