Like Batman himself, Elfman’s theme enters on the midpoint of the trailer. Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) has mucked up the world by meddling with the timeline by way of super-speed — therefore why now there are two of him. It seems to be just like the Earth now stands hopeless towards an invasion by Zod (Michael Shannon), so the Barrys head to the Batcave to get assist. After an establishing shot of the cave, full with the 1989 Batmobile, the digicam pulls again to disclose the again of Batman’s masks. Because the digicam strikes again and the cowl fills the body, we hear faint piano notes of Elfman’s theme.

Within the 1989 movie, the track first hits its crescendo when Batman confronts a prison on a rooftop. When the person asks, “What are you,” the Darkish Knight pulls him in shut and declares: “I am Batman.” The music goes silent so the phrases make their impression, however as Batman throws him off and glides away, the theme returns and hits its operatic highs.

The trailer follows the identical sample. Because the Barrys come face-to-face with Keaton’s Bruce Wayne, he once more declares, “I am Batman,” the music pointedly fading out as he does so. The trailer then cuts to a shot of him diving into battle towards a bunch of gunmen, Elfman’s theme drowning out the bullets and punches alike.

“The Flash” arrives in theaters on June 16, 2023.
