Justice League Test Footage Of The Flash’s Powers Shared By Zack Snyder

Zack Snyder gives fans a behind the scenes peek at the Justice League test footage for the Flash’s super-fast running. It says a lot about the power of Snyder’s filmmaking that Justice League is still sparking conversation more than four years after it was first released. Of course, it helps that 2021 saw the long-awaited premiere of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the director’s famed final cut of the movie. Fans had campaigned to see Snyder’s version of the DCEU film since the theatrical cut – which was largely overseen by Joss Whedon – debuted in theaters in 2017.

Spurred by plenty of behind the scenes content from Snyder himself, fans tirelessly called for Warner Bros. to release his finished Justice League, which the studio finally did last year. The 4 hour-long movie arrived on HBO Max in the spring and sparked fervent conversation among fans. Many praised Snyder’s take, especially when compared to the theatrical Justice League; the director’s version of the film featured stronger character arcs, original villain Darkseid (Ray Porter), and a tantalizing epilogue that previewed his vision for sequels that may never come to fruition.

Since then, Snyder has shifted his attention to projects like Netflix’s Army of the Dead and his sci-fi epic Rebel Moon, but he still has some surprises up his sleeves for DC fans. Over the weekend, Snyder shared a cool behind the scenes video from the making of Justice League. It’s a bit of test footage that he shot while previewing what the Flash’s speedster powers would look like in action. The slow-mo close-up of a stuntman’s running feet looks very cool, even with greenscreens all around. “Shot this with my phone as an example of what the shot could look like…good times,” Snyder wrote.

Ezra Miller played Barry Allen, aka the Flash, for Justice League, and he will return to the role later this year for his long-awaited solo movie. By most accounts, The Flash does seem to take place within the same continuity as Justice League, but the DCEU is changing things so much for its future movies that the full extent of its universe won’t be clear until the film arrives in November. Still, regardless of its place in canon, there’s little question that The Flash will hold some of the elements Snyder brought to Barry, like the clever depiction of his powers.

Fans are still holding out hope that Snyder will get the chance to complete his DCEU plans, which included at least two Justice League sequels. Warner Bros. has moved the franchise in a new direction that largely prioritizes standalone features, though The Flash is expected to rewrite a portion of the universe with its multiverse plan. Nevertheless, the love for Snyder and his Justice League remains strong, and his sharing of additional behind the scenes content will likely fuel it for some time. Perhaps there really will be more ahead for this version of the DCEU – only time will tell.
