Jim Starlin, a renowned comic book author and illustrator, recently praised The Flash for doing something that Marvel Studios’ films don’t. In an Instagram post, Starlin praised The Flash for prominently featuring the comic book authors who served as the movie’s inspiration in its credits.
‘I was especially pleased to see the creators of the Flash acknowledged early in the end credits instead of way after the caterers and so many others. Wish the Marvel movies would do the same, ‘he wrote. Starlin also wrote his spoiler-free review of The Flash, which he labelled ‘terrific.’
Comic book creators are typically acknowledged towards the end of the credits, just before the “Special thanks” section, in MCU films. By that time many moviegoers have already left the theatre or are going through their phones to see whether there is still a post-credits scene to look forward to. The Flash modifies the rules for comic creator crediting by placing them in front of the line,honouring the material that screenwriters built their films on.

Although there is no certain idea what will happen to the DC Universe after 2023, the Aquaman author David Leslie Johnson McGoldrick has already started brewing a Flash sequel.
The Flash also stars Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck as two different versions of Batman, Ron Livingston as Henry Allen, General Zod is portrayed by Michael Shannon, Faora-Ul by Antje Traue, and Supergirl by Sasha Calle. Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Rudy Mancuso, and Luke Brandon Field are also involved, though in undefined roles.

Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, Wonder Woman, Aqua man, Shazam, Birds of Prey, Black Adam, and The Suicide Squad. It has no ties to The Batman or The Joker, who live in their own realms.
