According to the CBC report, the live-action film 'The Flash' with Ezra Miller has a budget of $220 million.
It surpasses past DC films 'Wonder Woman 1984' ($200 million) and 'Black Adam' ($190 million, which ballooned to $260 due to reshoots).
Paul Austerberry, the production designer, talked about 'The Flash' always being intended for the big screen experience.
Paul Austerberry said, "We're designing these things and designing the film for the big screen; this is a big screen, movie-going experience.
He added, "I hope most people see it on the big screen … This kind of movie is made for the multiplex. It's made for the big spectacle."
The consensus out of CinemaCon 2023 has been generally positive, with many calling 'The Flash' an entertaining movie with a solid emotional core.
'The Flash' is inspired by the 'Flashpoint' comic storyline where Barry Allen/The Flash travels back in time to save his mother from being murdered.
In doing so, he inadvertently creates a reality in which General Zodd conquers the earth. Barry turns to recruit an unfamiliar Batman and a Kryptonian prisoner to save the world.
