Thoughts on The Flash? (SPOILERS!!!)

As someone who loves this universe, and hates Batman & Robin, I gotta say that I absolutely loved the ending and wouldn't want anything else. I mean, it would always be better with Val Kilmer, but that was never going to happen.

Now, what are the implications of ending up in the Clooney universe? For one thing, is this specifically the B&R universe, or a parallel universe that happens to also have Clooney Batman? This is an important distinction, because the B&R universe is interesting. In B&R, there's direct reference to Superman. Either Superman is a fictional character in this universe, or we have a Superman that has been active since at least the 90s. Who is this universe's Superman then, assuming that it's not Cavill due to him being too young? Hear me out, what if this is the Nic Cage Superman universe? Now, tell me you wouldn't want a Justice League movie starring George Clooney and Nicolas Cage! (as far as 90's Superman I guess it could also theoretically be Dean Cain...)
 
I would've preferred if the movie ended with the court scene. There's this moment where Barry is smiling after his father was cleared, that would've been perfect if it cut to black right after. The whole Clooney moment felt so off.

The way I see it, The Flash ending take place in the same universe as Black Adam and WW84, a universe close to the SnyderVerse, with slight variations; superheroes are already established, which could explain the JSA operating in the public eye for decades before the Black Zero Event and Wonder Woman being active in the 80s, as opposed to the older universe where she was hiding for nearly a century. By my logic, even if Clooney is Batman, Cavill is still Superman (Black Adam).

Instead of spaghetti timelines, I wish they had just established Barry travelled to a parallel Earth.

My comic book brain can accept Bruce Wayne being different ages or looking completely different on different Earths.
But altered timelines? Less so.

Plus, if the movie ended with Barry realizing he is on a different Earth, it helps to more cleanly set up the Multiverse concept and preps the stage better for whatever Gunn and Safran have planned.

This đź’Ż, I really had a hard time understanding the Keaton's spaghetti timelines, it didn't made sense, since we didn't even saw the Batman '89 world colliding with the DCEU, creating this whole new reality, like it was the case with the DonnerVerse and Superman Lives.
