The Flash, the long-awaited solo movie of DC’s Scarlet Speedster, has finally hit the theaters and it’s a wild ride through the multiverse. The film follows Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) as he travels back in time to save his mother’s life but ends up creating a whole new timeline where everything is different.
Along the way, he meets various versions of Batman, Supergirl, and even Superman Lives. But we all know the MCU and DCU films are not over once the end-credits roll in. Almost every DC movie has a post-credits scene, and The Flash is no different.
In this article, we’ll break down everything you need to know about The Flash post-credits scene and what it means for DC’s upcoming slate of movies.
Is there a post-credits scene in The Flash?
I am now going to talk about the post-credit scene in The Flash, so if you’ve not watched the film yet and want to avoid spoilers, this is your cue. Enjoy the film and come back here later!
The Flash Post-Credits Scene Explained
The Flash post-credits scene shows Barry and Aquaman (Jason Momoa) coming out of a bar after drinking a lot of alcohol. The Flash tells Aquaman that he has traveled to different timelines and met different versions of Batman, but Aquaman is always the same in every timeline.
Aquaman, however, is not paying attention and falls asleep in a puddle of water. He hands Barry one of his rings and The Flash leaves.
The scene does not have any major surprises or hints for DCU Chapter One, but it helps to clarify that Aquaman 2 will not be affected by any timeline changes because Arthur’s appearance does not change, no matter what.
The scene is also a humorous and charming way of preventing any possible online discussions about plot holes or the Aquaman sequel being out of sync with the rest of the DC movies. The main purpose of the scene is to provide comic relief, which it manages to deliver.
