- Warning: There are spoilers ahead for "The Flash."
- The latest DC movie, starring Ezra Miller, has one extra scene following the credits.
Make sure you stay until the very end of "The Flash" for one extra scene after the credits.
The Ezra Miller-starring DC movie features the return of Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry/Aquaman in a low-stakes scene that mainly serves as a reminder that his superhero, Aquaman, returns later this year to the big screen in his own sequel.
If you left theaters early and missed it, here's a breakdown of the scene and what it means.
What happens: The Flash discusses the events of the movie with a drunken Arthur Curry
Barry Allen/The Flash (Miller) helps Curry/Aquaman (Momoa) out of a bar.
As Arthur kicks his legs out, Barry explains how he can't get drunk because of his high metabolism. A very drunk Arthur claims he "can't get drink either." He clearly can.
Barry asks his Justice League comrade to listen as he tells him about two different versions of Batman he saw throughout the movie who weren't Affleck's Caped Crusader.
"They were all Batman. They were all Bruce Wayne, but each of them was a completely different person," Barry tells Arthur.
"So on the other line-time," Arthur drunkenly slurs.
"Timeline," Barry corrects him.
"...I'm the same guy?" Arthur asks.
"Yeah, actually, pretty much," Barry reassures him.
That's a lie.
In the film, Barry goes back in time to prevent the death of his mother. When he gets stuck in the past, Barry shockingly discovers that he changed the future.
In the alternate timeline, the Justice League doesn't exist. There is no Wonder Woman, Superman was killed and never made it to Earth (his cousin, Kara, landed in Russia where she was locked up), and Arthur Curry was never born. Instead, Arthur's father has a dog by the same name.
Batman exists in this timeline, as Barry tells Arthur, but he's played by Michael Keaton, not Ben Affleck. Keaton reprises his role as the Dark Knight from WB's Tim Burton "Batman" films in the early '90s.
At the film's very end, when Barry fixes the timeline, Affleck's Batman isn't in the present. Instead, Barry runs into George Clooney's Batman. The Oscar winner played Bats in 1997's "Batman & Robin."
The scene between Arthur and Barry drags on for about another minute with Arthur speaking a lot of nonsense.
"Thank you for making it more simpler for me, Mr. Simple More," Arthur tells Barry before walking into a pole and falling into a massive puddle that's larger than the length of his body on the sidewalk.
Arthur starts rolling around in the water with his eyes closed calling out to "Harry" instead of Barry.
When Barry tells Arthur he thought he'd be staying on his couch, Arthur proclaims he now lives in the puddle before putting resting his face head down.
A moment later, he raises his head to ask Barry for more beer.
"Pay with this," Arthur says while taking off a ring and handing it to Barry.
"Arthur, this is Atlantean treasure," Barry informs him.
Arthur then starts singing: "Got no money for the sailor suit. I'm a sailor."
As Barry walks away with the ring, agreeing with his friend, he assures himself that Aquaman's fine, and the scene cuts to black.
This largely feels like an ad for Momoa's 'Aquaman' sequel out later this year
The rather goofy scene, which goes on for far too long, mostly seems like a reminder to fans that Momoa will be back on screen in December in a long-awaited sequel to 2018's successful "Aquaman" movie. (It's the highest-grossing DC extended universe film.)
According to Warner Bros., the sequel, which will be the final film in the DCEU before James Gunn's DC Studios' reboot, will follow Aquaman as he protects Atlantis from an ancient power.
Though the scene is predominately goofy, it may have a larger meaning which offers sneaky closure to WB's former DC universe.
Barry likely returned to an entirely different timeline that doesn't matter to the future of the DC universe
In January, Gunn previously announced "The Flash" "resets the entire DC universe."
Near the movie's end, when Barry went back in time to fix the timeline one last time, instead of letting things play out as they originally did, he slightly altered the past again to make things better for his father in the future.
While everything else seemed back to normal in the present, Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne was replaced with Clooney.
Clooney's surprise appearance as Wayne signals that while Barry thought he returned to his own timeline, he actually exists in another one now.
This was something Barry seemingly tried to broach with Arthur in the end-credits scene before Aquaman stumbled into a puddle.
If we're to take the ending at face value, Barry now exists in the "Batman & Robin" universe.
This would allow WB to close the door on this version of the Flash and the DC extended universe in order to start fresh with Gunn's vision.
However, it's unclear if this is the final time we'll see Miller suit up. Despite legal trouble and abuse allegations against the actor, "The Flash" director Andy Muschetti has said Miller will continue playing the character if a sequel happens.
