The Flash: Rogue War (2023 Film)

The Flash: Rogue War is a 2023 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character the Flash. It is a follow-up to The Trinity (2022) and the fifth installment in the DC Multimedia Universe (DCMU). The film was directed by Edgar Wright, written by WallyGoat7, and features Lucas Till as the Flash, along with Willa Holland, Andrew Lincoln, Bruce Greenwood, Luke Goss, Evan Peters and Ty Simpkins. The Flash: Rogue War is the first live-action film to feature the Flash in a lead role, as well as the first live-action cinematic portrayal of Jay Garrick, Wally West and the Rogue Gallery. A seasoned Flash must take down the newly formed Rogues Gallery, a collection of his former villains and some new ones. At the same time, the Flash must juggle his hero life with his life as Barry Allen. The film was developed immediately after the script of Batman: The Arkham Conspiracy was finished, despite being the fifth installment in the franchise. Originally casting Luke Mitchell in the titular role, he was replaced by Lucas Till in a last minute decision. The studio plans to use Luke Mitchell for another role, sometime down the lane. 
== Story ==
=== Act I ===
Open on Central City, an urban metropolitan area. The Flash is running around the city, saving cats, saving balloons, stopping car accidents, stuff like that. While this goes on, Barry narrates. 
Barry (Narration)
March 18th, 2006. It was three years ago today I was struck by lightning and doused in my own chemicals. I had those chemicals because of my job as a forensic scientist, 
Flashback to Barry walking in on his Dad getting arrested and his mother dead on the ground. 
Barry (Narration)
-which I became to prove my fathers innocence in my mother’s murder. 
Little Barry is at his mother’s funeral, transition to grown Barry at his father’s funeral.
Barry (Narration)
He died before I ever could. Now I work to prevent that from happening to anybody else. 
Back to the city, Flash is still doing heroics. 
Barry (Narration)
But back to what I was saying, that accident gave me extraordinary powers. Miracles to use for the greater good of all. Life’s been looking up lately, I’m a hero in my city, 
Flashback to Barry being celebrated in the police precinct
Barry (Narration)
I’m a hero to the police department, 
Flashback to Iris hugging Barry 
Barry (Narration)
And I even managed to snag the girl of my dreams, Iris West, a couple months back. I’m actually on my way to see her now. But first, I have some stops to make. 
Barry rounds up criminals, tying them with a rope and leaving them for the police. 
Barry (Narration)
My name is Barry Allen, and I’m the fastest man alive. 
Bird’s eye view of the city, as he runs he creates lightning bolt symbol with his streaks. This merges into the movie title card: The Flash: Rogue War
Barry arrives at Iris’s apartment and rings the doorbell, fixes his hair and knows he forgot something. Flowers, he runs back to get them before Iris can open her door. 
Barry 
Iris! Sorry I’m late, but I brought these for you. 
Barry hands her the flowers. 
Iris
That’s sweet Barry, but what is it you’re doing that makes you 30 minutes late all the time? 
Barry 
Oh God, Iris you know how my sleep schedule can get. Then you have all this traffic in the city, and on my way some guy- 
Iris 
Okay, Jesus I get it. Jitter’s? 
Barry 
Ha, yeah sounds good. After you. 
Barry opens the door wider for Iris, and the two walk through the apartment hallway. 
Iris
Barry Allen, the fastest talker alive. 
At CC Jitter’s, Barry and Iris talk about life. 
Iris
-and so, she walks in the studio all mad, “if you don’t get this in by the deadline you’re fired!” 
Barry chuckles
Barry
Yeah, and then what happened next? 
Iris 
Well I got it in by the deadline. 
Barr sarcastically slow claps. 
Barry 
What a story! Central City’s very own Iris West ladies and gentlemen!
Iris
Oh shut up, you talk about your job if you’re so good
Barry
Well, you know how it is, Iris. Bad people getting caught doing bad things. 
Iris 
You ever wonder what happens to them? You know, like after prison?
Barry
Well, I’d like to believe they see and understand the fault in their actions, you know? Understand that what they did was wrong, and never return to that sorta life again. Doesn’t always pan out though. 
Barry sips his coffee, and a waiter nearby trips. Before she can even process that she’s falling, Barry seemingly slows down time, stabilizes her on the ground, removes the rock from her path, and sits back down. Time returns and she balances herself. 
Barry 
Careful ma’am! Almost tripped there. 
Waiter 
Jeez, yeah. Somebody’s gotta clean up here. 
The waiter moves on with her day. Iris hadn’t noticed Barry helping the waiter, he was going too fast for anybody to notice. 
Iris 
You feel that gust of wind just then? 
Barry 
Huh, yeah. Probably just a draft, you know how it gets here. 
Iris 
So anyways, Wally’s coming over to Central to stay with his auntie Iris for a week. You remember how you set that interview up with me and the Flash? 
Barry 
Yeah.. why? 
Iris
Okay, hear me out. Wally is a gigantic fan of the Flash, I mean he adores the guy. He has his posters, his bedsheets, his pajamas-
Barry
Iris, c’mon. I mean he’s a busy guy! I mean, it’s been like three years since you did the interview I don’t even know if he-
Iris 
Barry, please! Last favor I ask, I swear. 
Barry takes a deep breath and sighs. 
Barry
Fine, I can set up a meeting or something. Your place or mine? 
Iris 
Why not just outside jitter’s? Sorry, I know he’s a hero and everything, I just don’t really trust somebody like that knowing where I live. Or even where you live, for that matter. 
Barry 
Like a meta? 
Iris 
Yeah, you know? Like what if he just decided to snap one day? Wouldn’t be a thing I could do about it. 
Barry
Huh. I guess not. 
Iris 
Anyways, thank you so much Barry. Just text me whenever the Flash can make it and we’ll be there. 
Iris gets a buzz on her phone. 
Iris 
Shit, his bus came early. I gotta run Barry. 
Barry
Yeah, have fun with that babe. 
Iris kisses him on the cheek, and she drives off towards the bus stop. 
Barry gets a text from Captain Singh, he needs him at the scene of a crime immediately. 
Barry 
Great. Now I’m late for work too. 
Barry leaves a tip on the table, walks outside and runs to the crime scene. 
Director Singh
Late again?
Barry
Sorry, sir, you know how traffic is. Plus on the way I had to-
Director Singh
Yeah, all right, all right. 
Barry
Sorry. What have we got. 
Director Singh motions to the shattered glass surrounded by crime tape. 
Singh
You tell me Allen. 
Barry enters the crime scene and kneels down, examining the glass. 
Barry
It’s bent out of shape. Like it was heated up. When did this happen? 
Singh
Last night. Store owner said she was held at gunpoint by a man in a mask, and she pissed him off, so he exploded his glass window in a.. Fit of rage or something like that I dunno. 
Barry
You think this is who I think it is? 
Singh
There’s alot of fire-themed villains out there, but I called the warden anyways just to make sure. He said Rory was still there. 
Barry
Huh. 
Barry notices something glimmer in the sun, frost. 
Barry
Take a look at this Singh. It’s ice. 
Singh takes a look, and is horrified by the prospect of Cold and Heatwave being out again. 
Barry
Have the guys take a sample. 
Barry walks away from the crime scene, into another alley. 
Singh
Allen! Where are you going!
Barry
My work is done here, you guys can take it from here! Besides, I have somewhere I need to be. 
In the alley, hidden from onlookers, Barry activates his speed and zooms through the city. He stops by his apartment, and speeds inside to get his suit, leaving the closet door open on an empty suit rack. He races to Iron Heights in Keystone City, and enters the prison complex. He stops at the entrance of the main prison, to two security guards. 
The Flash
I need to speak with the Warden. 
Guard #1
Hold on, you can’t get in without proper verification. 
The Flash
Trust me, if I wanted to, I’d be in already. 
The guards are silent. Guard #2 clicks his earpiece headset. 
Guard #2
Warden Morice, you have a visitor here for you, copy. 
Warden (Through Headset)
Who is it?
The Flash
The Flash. Open up. 
The Flash and the Warden are touring through Iron Heights. 
Warden Morice
I assure you Flash, everything is up to code. 
The Flash 
Is that so? Then what were Snart and Rory doing robbing banks. 
Warden Morice
Snart and Rory are in their cells. 
The Flash
Really? Then show me them. 
Warden Morice
Well you see, this is classified information. I can’t possibly justify a costumed vigilante walking into my prison and-
The Flash walks right past Morice. He enters the designated metahuman pipeline, and find three cells that were busted through. 
The Flash
Who else escaped? 
The Warden sighs, defeated. 
Warden Morice
Sam Scudder and Roscoe Dillon. 
The Flash
Mirror Master and the Top! And you didn’t think to tell anybody?
Warden Morice
Three separate supervillains escaped! How do you think that’s gonna look on my record? 
The Flash
Worse now then it would’ve been had you contacted the authorities. 
Warden Morice
But you’ve fought them before right! You can round them up and bring em back here, cant you? 
The Flash sighs. 
The Flash
I don’t have time for this conversation, I hope you’re better in whatever your next job is. 
Barry runs back to Central City, and uses his police radio to listen for the next breakout. In his apartment, he gets a call from Iris. The scene switches to an apartment with the escaped convicts strategizing. Music is playing as they celebrate a successful heist.
Captain Cold
Listen, listen, enough celebrating. We’re not done yet. 
Trickster
Bro, we just got off with like $200k easy, each. 
Captain Cold
And that’s good enough for you? Who else in the room is that good enough for, show of hands. 
Nobody raises their hands. 
Captain Cold
And that rookie, is what separates us from the two-bit crooks you’re used to dealing with. We, we’re the real thing. We don’t settle for $200k, we’re not gonna settle for $400k, we’re not gonna settle for $600k, hell, we’re not even gonna stop at a million. 
Captain Boomerang
Shit, I might. 
The room laughs. 
Captain Cold
Hilarious, but we need to have our sights on something bigger. THE score, then we all bounce. Leave the entire country type deal. See, when our guardian angel busted me, Rory, Roscoe and Scudder out, he didn’t stop at our freedom. 
Captain Cold opens a bag, full of upgraded tools for the gang to use.
Captain Cold
He left some goodies too. For Mick, an upgraded heat gun and a flame retardant suit. No more accidental third degree burns. 
Heatwave
A shame. 
Captain Cold
For Scudder, upgraded mirror guns with improved range, I mean, these are basically portals at this point. Boomerang, sharper boomerangs and more trick ones, go figure. 
Captain Boomerang
Aye, don’t disrespect the boomerang mate. Get you out of a scuffle, this one will.
Captain Cold
Roscoe, these toy tops are explosive. Mini explosion tornadoes. For the rookie- now this was some futuristic ass tech. I’m a little jealous, maybe I should just use these myself..
Trickster
Wait! Wait, stop! I can still-
Captain Cold
Jesus relax, I’m joking. But these boots practically allow you to walk on air, they’re anti-gravity. And for my dear sister-
Lisa
No. No, I told you I wan’t no part of this life with you Lenny, I mean you’re lucky I’m even letting you use my apartment to do this!
Captain Cold
Lisa, please! You have to know what this means to me, how many times he’s put me away!
Lisa
No, Lenny. I mean it.
Captain Cold
At least let me show what I have for you. You’re an ice skater, right? 
Lisa is interested, and peeks her head to the bag. 
Captain Cold
Look at this, ice skates that glide through the air. Paired with that, scarves that can literally extend and grab whatever you want. 
Snart hands the items to Lisa, and she reluctantly agrees. 
Lisa 
Just this once, Lenny. Then you leave, all of you. 
Captain Cold
Of course, when have I steered my baby sister wrong? 
Captain Boomerang
This is a beautiful reunion, really, but who the hell gave you these? 
Mirror Master
We don’t know. He blew the walls and left the bag with Heatwave, and wasn’t seen by anybody. He might be nuts, but he doesn’t lie. 
Heatwave
Heh. Scudder, you can suck my-
Top
Okay, wait. How do we even know these work? 
Captain Cold
I tested them myself. Which is the 30,000th reason we need to cut the questioning, I put my neck on the line for you guys. What me, Rory and Scudder say is final. Any questions? 
Silence through the room
Captain Cold
Excellent. Here’s what we’re gonna do. 
The scene switches to Wally and Iris in her car. She calls Barry. 
Barry 
Hey Iris, what’s up.
Iris
Hey Bar, just picked up Wally from the bus station and now we’re headed home. You were right about the traffic.
Barry
Yeah, it’s a nightmare. Constant black holes of… well slow-paced driving. 
Iris 
Right? Like the universe is hell bent on not letting you through a freeway. Anyways, I wanted to check up on the TatusSay on the LashFay. (Pig Latin: Status on the Flash). 
Barry
Iris, you know how I feel about pig language. It’s a-
Iris 
Made up language meant to keep kids out of the loop I know, I know. But you get my point.
Barry
Yeah, actually I reached him pretty easily. He says he’ll do it whenever you guys want, I’ll just shoot him the text and he’ll show up. 
Iris
Really? Isn’t he like busy?
Barry
Eh, pretty slow day for him. 
Iris
Okay, ummm, I’m not too far from Jitter’s, how about now? 
Barry 
Should be fine with him. 
Iris
Great! And what about you? I’d love for you to meet Wall. 
Barry 
Sorry, no can do. Working on a really important case right now. 
Iris 
Huh, bummer. Well he’s here for the whole week, so stop by sometime. 
Barry 
Yeah, will do Iris. Gotta go. 
Iris 
Alright, bye. 
Iris hangs up and continues to drive. 
Wally
Wait, so Barry really knows the Flash?
Iris 
You can understand pig latin? 
Wally
Everyone over the age of 10 can understand pig latin, so we’re meeting Flash like now? Outside of a coffee shop? 
Iris
It was meant to be a surprise, but yes. We are. 
Wally
Sweet! Still kinda crazy how he knows the Flash though. Always took Barry for a dweeb. 
Iris 
Don’t call my boyfriend a dweeb!
Wally
What, is he not? 
Iris
Shut up. We’re here anyways. 
They park outside of CC Jitters and get out of the car. 
Wally
Could you imagine if Barry was the Flash. Pssh. As if.
Iris contemplates Wally’s remark for a second, but thinks nothing of it. They approach the front of CC Jitter’s. 
Wally
So, when’s he getting- 
Barry zooms through the street and gets there, he’s immediately swarmed by fans with just Wally, Iris and him in the center. He vibrates his vocal chords to distort his voice. 
Wally
The Flash!
Flash
Hey Wally, nice to meet you. 
Flash extends his hand and shakes Wally’s fan. 
Flash
Your auntie told me you were a big fan. 
Wally
Oh my God, like you wouldn’t believe. I mean I have your video games, comics, TV shows, posters, I mean your pajamas! I’m even the president of your fan club back home!
Flash
Really? And what’s that like? 
Wally
Well, I mean not much really. Kinda just my friends gathered around my backyard eating cookies- but anyways enough about me, how did you get so fast? 
Flash
Well, you see- 
Suddenly a car crashes, and the crowd around Iris and Wally scatter. 
Flash 
Stay back, I’ve got this. 
Flash looks up to find the Top, a villain who can create tornadoes with his body, creating a cyclone right now.
Flash 
Dillon! What are you doing? 
Top
More bad questions, Flash. What you should be asking, is who’s covering your funeral costs? 
Top throws an explosive top at Barry, he catches it, and it explodes in his hand. Barry is blasted away. 
Top
What are you, invincible too? 
Flash
My friction kept my hand from exploding into pieces. Killing isn’t usually your M.O, Roscoe, what’s the deal? 
Top
Things change, Flash. 
Suddenly, a rock is thrown at the Top’s head. It’s Wally. Iris is shocked, she hadn’t even noticed Wally disappearing. 
Iris
Wally! Get back here!
Top 
Ptsh, Kids. 
The Top uses his power to direct a car in Wally’s direction, and Barry saves Wally from the crash and inadvertently electrocutes Wally, he gets back to the fight. 
Flash
Flash Fact Roscoe, 
Barry starts running in the opposite direction of his tornado. 
Flash
Criminal activity in front of the Flash? Not a good idea. But throwing an entire car at a kid? That’s attempted manslaughter, and that’s at least 15 years in jail. 
The Flash successfully depletes the Tornado, and uses an inhibitor collar to stop the Top from continued spinning. He also handcuffs him.
Flash
And where you’re going? Might as well be a life sentence. The police will be here soon, don’t go anywhere. 
Flash speeds over to where Wally was, seeing him unconscious on the ground. 
Flash
Oh God, 
Flash zooms over to Iris with Wally’s sleeping body.
Flash
Ma’am, we need to get to a hospital. 
Flash carries both Iris and Wally to the nearest hospital ASAP. 
Flash
We need a doctor! Doctor!
Nurses swarm the Flash and Iris, and take Wally to a hospital room. In the room, Flash waits by Wally’s side and Iris on the other. The nurses hook him up to an IV and leave the room. 
Iris 
What the hell happened to him? Why won’t he wake up? 
Flash
Iris..
Flash unmasks himself, revealing himself to Iris. A tear runs down his face. 
Barry
I’m so sorry. 
===Act II===
Iris
What? What is this some kind of joke- 
Barry
Iris, I- 
Iris
No, it all adds up, the random late nights, being late to work, cancelling on dates, getting a meeting with the Flash last minute.. How didn’t I know? 
Barry
Iris, it’s not your fault 
Iris
Of course it’s not my fault Barry! You lied to me this whole time, you never lie! On top of that, Wally got seriously hurt, hell you could’ve gotten seriously hurt!
Barry
Please, Iris let me explain- 
Suddenly, he gets a call on his police radio.
Radio
10-23, Break-In in progress, Keystone Jewelers, copy. 
Barry
Iris, I gotta 
Iris
Yeah, go. 
She holds Wallys hand, concerned for him. 
Barry
I’m sorry. 
He races out of the room, and Iris looks at the door and simply cries by Wally's side. 
Over at the store, the gang run from police sirens. 
Trickster 
You told me we had enough time to get in and out! 
Captain Cold 
Lesson #1, rookie, things change! The Flash is probably close by now so, plan B. 
Cold throws the bag of Jewelry to the Trickster. 
Captain Cold
Up that building! Hurry! 
Trickster activates his gravity boots and walks on the air to the building, the Flash does come and chases him up the building, until they’re both on top of it. 
The Flash
You’re new. What happened to the other guy?
Trickster 
Retired, dead, was I supposed to keep track? 
The Flash
Well you-
Suddenly a portal opens up to the side of Flash, and Captain Cold comes out of it. 
Captain Cold
Surprise. 
Cold freezes Barry’s leg to the ground. Barry tries to get out of the trap, but another portal opens and Boomerang throws a sharp one at his foot. 
The Flash
Agg! 
Captain Boomerang 
Been some time since I seen another Flash, mate. 
Golden Glider skates through the air, slicing the Flash across the face with one of her blades, and then wrapping him and trapping him with her wraps. 
The Flash 
Jesus! How many more are you guys! Wait, where’s- 
Heatwave
Rory? Right here. 
Heatwave roasts Flash’s arm, causing excruciating pain. 
The Flash 
AGGGHH!! 
Finally, Mirror Master steps out of one of the portals, and the rogues form in full. 
Mirror Master 
Hey Flash. Long time no see. See that chopper up there?
Flash turns his head and looks at the news chopper circling the building.
Mirror Master
We’re gonna take your life on National TV. 
Finally, the Flash passes out from pain. 
Captain Cold (to the news) 
Ladies and Gentlemen of Keystone City, Central City, hell this is probably global by now so, the World! We are a collection of men, and woman, wronged by the Flash. 
Back at the hospital, Iris watches horrified. At his home, Jay Garrick watches horrified. Random citizens watch all over the city. 
Captain Cold
So what you’ll be seeing now is a public execution. Today, the Rogues’ Gallery kill the Flash! 
Trickster (muttering to Glider)
Uh, did we ever decide on that name? 
Cold points his gun at the Flash’s head, and gets ready to power it up. Suddenly, a red blur rushes in to save Barry’s life, cutting the wraps, breaking the ice, and removing the boomerang in his leg. He runs back to his house in Keystone, and sets the unconscious Barry Allen down on his couch. 
Barry is waking up. 
Mystery voice 1
-and look at how fast he’s healing! It’s been like, 20 minutes! 
Mystery voice 2
Hush now, Jay! He’s waking up! 
Barry
Oh God, where am I? 
Mystery voice 1
You’re in our home! My name is-
Barry
Jay Garrick! You’re the Jay Garrick! 
Jay
In the Flesh, heh. 
Barry
Oh wow! I’m a huge fan, I had all your comics, video games, everything when I was a kid! I even named myself after you, oh wait is that copyright? 
Jay
Woah, slow down kid! 
Barry 
Sorry, I’m just a little excited. I mean, you’re my hero man. 
Jay
That’s kinda funny, I’m a huge fan of you too. 
Barry 
You’re not serious? 
Jay
Of course I am! You’re a better Flash then I ever was, I mean no competition son. 
Barry
Wow. Oh, Um sorry, I’m Barry Allen. 
Barry extends his hand to Jay’s wife. 
Joan
Hello, dear. My name is Joan, I’m Jay's wife.
Barry
Very nice to meet you ma’am
Jay
You know, Barry, I’ve been watching you on the news for some time now. I was a little jealous at first, but it’s great to see the name carried on. Anyways, I’ve never seen you lose? 
Barry
That’s because they never decided to gang up on me like that. It was a 6 on 1, even for a speedster that’s gonna be tough. 
Jay 
Which is why, when I saw it on the news, I had to come running to you. Not officially of course, I’m legally required to stay retired. 
Barry 
God, Jay, that’s awful
Jay
Eh, it was the times kid what can I say. 
Barry 
Listen, Jay, Joan, I really appreciate what you’ve done here, but I need to get back out there. 
Jay 
Hold on kid, I’ve been wanting to tell you this since you stepped on the scene. Firstly, you need to think before you run. You rush in, headfirst, because you think these powers make you invincible, and most of the time they do! But not that time. Secondly, not everything is a race. Some things are meant to be slow, when all’s said and done, find your own who makes you whole, like Joanie here does. 
Joan 
Oh stop it, Jay. 
She playfully slaps him on the knee
Jay
My point is kid, life comes at you fast when you run how we do. 
Barry smiles, now he knows where he’s going next.
Barry
Noted. I appreciate you two, thank you for everything. Gotta run.
Barry rushes out of the house, headed to the hospital.
Jay
These darned kids. 
Joan 
Come on Jay, help me take these cookies outta the oven. 
Meanwhile, the Rogues evade the law and hide out in a dank alley. 
Golden Glider
God it smells. If I knew we’d be in these dumps half the time, I would’ve never signed up. 
Captain Cold 
But’cha did, and I love you for it baby sis. 
Trickster 
So what the hell was that? About the Flash? Why are we not talking about that? 
Heatwave
For once, I agree with the kid, who the hell saved the Flash? 
Captain Boomerang 
Relax, buggers. That was Jay Garrick, US government forced him to retire a loooong time ago, friends. Didn’t stop him from stopping me in Australia though. 
Captain Cold
Alright team, calm down. Does it matter if we actually killed the Flash? No it doesn’t.
Mirror Master 
I have to disagree, Cold. Once he finds us again- 
Captain Cold
IF he finds us again, we’ll be prepared. Plus, who the hell is coming back from the beat down we gave him? He’s working with one arm from now on! All the hell that matters, is the news has seen us. Scudder, tell the group the good news. 
Mirror Master
We’ve hit every jewelry store and bank that we need to, we’re ready for the big one: Central City Museum. 
Trickster 
And why are we hitting a museum again? 
Captain Cold 
This is why you listen during debriefs rook, there’s more money in there than any bank in Kansas. 
Mirror Master
Jewelry, artifacts, paintings, all of them stored in that Museum. This is the 16th most valuable museum in the entire country, right under our noses.
Golden Glider
Okay, but why are we doing this in the middle of the day? Isn’t this a sneak in at night kinda thing? 
Heatwave
We’re not just here for the money, we’re here for daytime television too. Or some shit like that.
Captain Cold
That’s right, Rory. After this is done, we will go down as the greatest group of thieves to ever exist, right up there with Bonnie and Clyde. That just leaves one question, are we ready to get started? 
Meanwhile at the Central City General Hospital, Barry opens the door to the hospital. He walks in and talks to the receptionist. 
Barry 
Hi I’m here to see Wally West? I’m uh, a friend of the family. Barry Allen. 
Receptionist 
Here you go Barry, through that door to the left. 
She hands him a name card with Barry on it. He sees the doctor outside of the room.
Barry 
How is he doc? 
Doctor
Wally’s in stable condition, he’s absolutely fine
Barry 
Thank God
Doctor 
The thing is, we don’t know when he’ll wake up. 
Iris
Barry? Come in
Barry 
Coming right now! Okay, thanks doc.
Barry walks in the hospital room, Wally is still asleep on his bed. Barry hands Iris some flowers.
Barry
Hey Iris. Petunias, the ones you like. How’s Wally? 
Iris 
Thanks. He’s uh, he’s doing better I guess. He’s still breathing. 
Barry 
That’s great, that’s great. 
The two stand there silently. 
Iris 
I saw you on the news. 
Barry 
God that’s embarrassing.
Iris
You almost died. 
Barry
But I didn’t. Iris, this is the reason I kept my identity secret. Everything I do is televised, you’re gonna be worried like hell! Or what if somebody wanted to- 
Iris
Barry! Jesus Christ, we would’ve gone through that together, you know when it came? You’d rather just keep some crazy ass secret like being the Flash??? 
Barry
Iris, shh. 
Iris
God Barry. You’re the smartest man I know but you don’t know a thing about me. 
Barry 
Iris, that’s not true- 
Waking up, Wally groans.
Barry 
Wally! You’re up! 
Iris 
Oh God, Wally how are you doing?
Wally
I’m fine Iris, Barry?
Barry
Yeah? What’s up?
Wally
I uh, I heard everything in the coma. Did you say you’re the Flash? 
Iris and Barry look at each other. 
Barry
Wally, listen. (Pause) Yes I am. I need you to keep this between you, me and your auntie, alright? 
Wally
Jesus. Yeah, sure man. 
Barry 
Glad to know you’re okay, by the way. Iris, I’ve gotta get going. 
Barry leaves the Hospital building at normal speed, and runs to Iron Heights. Running, he notices his suit is still tattered from the fight. He vibrates his molecules and has the suit repair itself, stitch by stitch. He arrives at Iron Heights as the Flash. 
Flash
I need to speak to the Warden. 
Guard #1 
Um, I- 
The Flash walks right past him, into the open doors of the prison. He meets another guard.
Flash
Take me to Warden Morice. Now. 
Soon, the Warden and Flash are walking the halls of Iron Heights. 
Warden Morice
Listen, about what happened- 
Flash
Another time Warden. Assuming Dillon is still in his cell? 
Top
I’m right here, Flash. 
Barry didn’t even realize they’ve already arrived at his cell. 
Flash
Dillon. Tell me what the Rogues have planned, where are they heading? 
Top 
Like I’d tell you. The worst you’ll do to me? Nothing compared to what they’ll have in store. 
Flash vibrates right into the jail cell, an inch away from Dillon. 
Flash 
You have no idea what I’ll do to you. 
Dillon is terrified, and immediately spills. 
Top
They’re hitting the Central City Museum! One last heist and they’re gone, outta here! 
Warden Morice
Central City Museum, what’s there for them? 
Flash
It’s the most valuable museum in Kansas. 16th most in the entire country. They could make hundreds of millions, easy, off one section of that place. Which means I need to get there now. 
Top 
You’re too late Flash. 
He points at the TV. 
News Reporter 
News Reporter 
-live at the Central City Museum, we have a birds eye view! It’s been surrounded by a wall of ice, the police are unequipped for something like this happening in Kansas! Police have tried dropping in from the top, but have since disappeared completely through... portal like fields?! 
Barry looks at the TV worried, activates his lightning and runs away.
===Act III===
There’s a bird’s eye view through the see through ceiling of the museum, the news uses this to cover the events. Iris and Wally watch from the hospital. 
Newcaster
-as you can see, the Rogues have started taking hostages. They’re throwing valuables through those portals? Visuals are a little unclear at this time- and here comes the Flash!
The Flash stops outside of the wall of ice. He looks around and sees cops surrounding the building. 
Police Officer
Flash! You’re alive!
Flash
Yeah, nice to meet you, officer uh-
Police Officer
Raymond, Ronnie Raymond. The Rogues have hostages inside the museum, we can’t get past that wall of ice. 
Flash
Got it, your men might want to stand back officer. 
Ronnie
We need to get back! Get back!
The Flash places his hands on the wall of ice, and vibrates his hands until they explode a pathway into the museum. The Flash runs in and surveys the area. He rushes the hostages out of the building. 
Captain Cold
Flash! How did you-
Flash
I heal a lot faster then you remember Snart. 
Heatwave
Not like it matters. 
Heatwave aims for Flash, and he dodges the firebeam. As he runs to Heatwave, he steps in a portal and is dropped from the ceiling, knocking the wind out of him. He gets back up faster then expected, and narrowly dodges the bombs that Trickster throws at him. The top of his mask is slashed off by Golden Glider in the air, exposing his hair. She traps him with her ribbons, and he vibrates out of them. She glides away, and Flash chases her around the museum. 
Golden Glider
You’re gonna have to be a little faster to keep up Flash. 
Flash is close to grabbing her, completely oblivious of the ice path that Cold set up, and slides and slams into a giant bronze statue. Boomerang throws a glue boomerang, and Barry is trapped. 
Captain Boomerang
One of my glue boomerangs, original creation bugger. 
Flash
Glue? That’s the best you got old-timer? 
Barry tries to vibrate out of the glue, but it gets more stuck. 
Meanwhile, Barry and Iris are still watching the footage from the hospital. They can clearly see the situation. 
Wally
He’s- he’s stuck.
The camera is focused on Iris, suddenly there is a burst of lightning, and she can see the bursts coming from Wally. 
Iris
Wally- Wally no. 
Wally looks down at himself, understanding what’s happening. He looks at Iris with determination. The scene switches back to the Museum and Capt. Boomerang. 
Captain Boomerang
Aht, aht, aht. Speedster resistant, learned to make these after going against your pappy Flash back home.
Suddenly, a red blur appears from nowhere and rushes Captain Boomerang, pushing him into a wall and knocking him out. The saviour stands in a halloween Flash costume, tattered half to shreds and exposing half his face. Barry realizes that this is actually Wally. 
Flash
Kid!
Heatwave 
Too many damn Flashes. 
Heatwaves aims to fire
Flash
No!
Barry vibrates some of the glue, and throws it at Heatwave. He vibrates the rest of the glue upwards. Free, he immediately rushes Wally outside of the museum and out of public sight. 
Flash
Kid, are you okay? 
Wally
I- I saw you on the news and- I just- I
Flash
It’s okay, it’s fine, relax. Stay here, don’t try that again. 
Flash turns around to run back to the Museum. 
Flash
And uh, thank you. Really. You saved my life back there. 
Wally
Wow! Yeah, no problem man! WOW!
Flash
Well, gotta run. 
Flash runs back into the museum, and finds the remaining Rogues still there. 
Flash
And then there were four. 
Trickster
I got this. 
Trickster activates his anti-gravity boots and heads for Flash
Mirror Master
Trickster, no!
Slow-mo scene, as Trickster runs in the air, Barry grabs his foot and throws him at the unsuspecting Golden Glider. Cold aims his gun at him, and he dodges it as Cold hits Scudder with the blast. Barry wraps the waking golden glider in her own ribbons, and finishes the slow-mo sequence. 
Flash
And then there was one. 
Cold laughs to himself in disbelief. 
Captain Cold
GodDAMNIT FLASH. I was going to take what I needed, leave the city and bother NOBODY ever again. You stopped us for what? What do you even CARE about this place? 
Flash
That’s why you and I are different, Snart. You fight to survive, feed your own selfish needs. I fight to protect this city, these people, their things. Your job is to take what you want by any means, and mine is to stop you. 
Snart gets mad and aims the cold gun at Flash, and one final time Flash enters a slow-mo sequence. He points the gun upwards at Cold’s feet, and Cold freezes his own feet to the ground. 
Flash
Not very fun, is it? 
Flash walks out of the museum, and is met with a crowd applauding him. Police, newscasters and civilians alike. He waves at them and shoos away the surrounding reporters. He finds Ronnie.
Flash 
Officer Raymond, all the rogues are in the museum. Apprehend them as soon as possible, some of them are just asleep. 
Ronnie
Thank you Flash, really. Make our jobs a helluva lot easier. 
Flash 
Just doing my job, officer. 
Ronnie tells the cops to enter the museum and they do. Meanwhile, a car pulls up to the scene. Iris hops out of the car, away from the crowding people, near Wally. Barry sees the two meet again, and runs over there. 
Flash
Iris, I- 
Iris passionately kisses Barry, to a grossed out Wally. 
Iris
No more secrets. From now on, you go back to being honest Barry Allen. Promise?
Flash 
Promise. Wally, how did you-
Wally
I have no idea. I just… knew you were in trouble, and something told me to run. I think I’m-
Flash
You’re like me. Don’t worry, I’ll teach you how to control it. Maybe even-
Suddenly, Flash is rushed by a yellow blur. He takes him through the city, and throws him into an empty football field. He picks Barry back up, and punches him at super speed several times in the gut, throwing him back at the ground as Barry coughs up blood. 
Flash 
Who are you??!
Yellow Speedster
Who am I? No, not yet. Right now, all you need to know is that I will be there for every milestone, every victory, every defeat, will be at the mercy of my hand and my hand alone. I am your shadow, Barry. I am your reverse. 
He runs away, leaving Barry far more confused and beaten up. 
Later that day, on the way to prison, the guards drive the rogues in one truck. Suddenly, the truck drivers are removed from their seats. The yellow speedster enters the back with the Rogues. 
Yellow Speedster
Snart. Scudder. Your pitiful band of misfits failed. 
Trickster 
Great, now who the hell is this guy? 
Captain Cold
Relax, rook. I’d like to introduce the group to our mysterious benefactor. Whose identity is still anonymous. 
Yellow Speedster
And it will remain so. Now don’t worry, everything is going to plan. Your failure included. 
Golden Glider
Great, so you’ll break us out of here? 
Yellow Speedster
No. You still failed, so you’ll be punished for such. Your failure, your imprisonment, your… education let’s call it, all part of a larger plan. 
Heatwave
So what’s with the get up? Inversed Flash colors? 
Captain Boomerang
Some kind of Reverse Flash? 
Reverse Flash smiles. 
Reverse Flash
That is exactly what I am. 
End of movie. 
===Mid Credits Scene===
Barry and Jay are having coffee at Jay’s home, Barry was in the middle of telling Jay everything that happened. 
Barry
-then he said something like, he’s my reverse? 
Jay
I see. I was wondering when this day would come. 
Barry
What, you know this guy? 
Jay 
Get comfy, this story is gonna be a doozy. 
Flashback to Jay in his prime with the rest of the JSA. Jay narrates, and the events coincide with his narration. 
Jay
It was during the old days of the JSA. Before the government shut us down, after we won the war. We were fraternizing in the HQ, Wonder Woman was telling stories of her youth to Green Lantern and Sandman, Wildcat and I were arguing like usual, Dr. Midnite was training his owl. Things were going normal, then a yellow speedster simply walked through the door, dressed in colors inverse of yours. He told the team that he was going to slow our aging, and it would be an incredibly painful process. Naturally, we took this as hostility and fought, but he made quick work of most of us. Only me, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman stood. He… he threw these devices around us. Trapped us in some sort of energy field. He was right, it was extremely painful. Then he slowed down time, just me and him, every second of my excruciating pain extended. He told me that he needed me to be there to save the real Flash, of course I had no idea what he was talking about at the time, but I now realize he was talking about the moment I saved your life on top of that building. After that, he simply walked right out the door, our poor secretary was too terrified to do anything but call the police. Of course they didn’t make it in time. 
Time reverts to normal. 
Barry
Jesus, Jay, I don’t know what to-
Jay
I’m not done. Barry, at this point in time, I never even considered hanging up the hat. Not once. This man- no this monster, he changed all that. I was never the same, I was constantly doubting myself, twisting myself over that comment. Barry you need to be careful, this is hands-down the most dangerous man I’ve ever fought. And now-
Barry
Now he’s my responsibility. 
The camera zooms in on a determined Barry Allen. 
===After Credits Scene===
Barry and Wally are outside at a track. Wally is inside a smaller version of Flash’s costume, Barry is in a lab coat. 
Barry
You like it? Some STAR Labs buddies and I made it for you. Heat resistant, won’t burn up as you run. 
Wally
Jesus, thanks Barry! And that ring was a nice touch. 
Barry
Yeah, I gotta take credit for that one. The chemicals on the suit shrink it whenever you channel lightning through the center of your ring. Expands whenever it feels air, and molds to your body type. Some next level stuff if I do say so myself. In fact, I decided to do it for my own suit-
Wally
Barry, I appreciate this, really..
Barry
But? 
Wally
But, I need to make it my own. I gotta be Wally West, not Barry Allen. 
Wally vibrates his molecules, and appears in a new yellow suit. It has a single red lightning bolt running through the suit, and the top of the cowl is cut off.
Wally
How do I look? 
Barry 
Great, Wally. You’re gaining all these new abilities faster and faster, it’s amazing. 
Wally
Well, I learned from the best. 
Barry
Anyways, we need to get this test run in. Are you ready, Kid Flash? 
Kid Flash
You bet. 
Wally gets ready, and electricity begins to form around him. 
Barry 
On your mark, get set, go-
Wally runs for the mark, and we get a final slow mo shot of him in uniform running while Barry watches with a stopwatch.
