The three-minute trailer is the first new footage from the film that has been released in over a year. It also marks the first major showcase of a Warner Bros. movie at the Super Bowl in 17 years.

That's because the National Football League (NFL) trademarked the phrase “Super Bowl” back in 1969. The NFL considers any commercial activity that uses the term “Super Bowl” to be in violation.

Without express written permission from the NFL and/or the teams involved, you may not use the following, or related protected words or logos, in marketing or promotions, whether on-air, in print, online, or otherwise: “Super Bowl” “Super Sunday” The Super Bowl logo.

The new Flash movie introduces the concept of the DCU multiverse as Barry Allen races through different timelines and alternate universes.

Ezra Miller As Another Flash/Barry Allen Due to the collision of worlds thanks to The Flash, Ezra Miller also plays another version of Barry Allen from a separate timeline. With two versions of the Flash in the mix, it seems the idea is that two speedsters will be better than one.

Jay-Z. Billionaire rapper Jay-Z said in a 2020 New York Times interview that he turned down the show because of requests by the NFL on surprise appearances, saying he was pressured to have Rihanna and Kanye West perform “Run This Town.”

The NFL has held the “Super Bowl” trademark since 1969, according to U.S. Patent and Trademark Office records. Any companies that want to use the phrase will need to pay - and that can cost more than $50 million for a category like soft drinks, automotive, insurance or beer, according to Ponturo.

The NFL does not sell the rights to broadcast the Super Bowl individually, so the cost is covered under what each of the networks pay for general NFL broadcasting rights. CBS, Fox and NBC all pay an excess of $2 billion to broadcast the NFL under the league's new broadcast deal.

And of course, just as he was instrumental in creating the Multiverse, Barry Allen also played a key role in its destruction. In the story's climax, Barry Allen sacrifices his life to save reality itself from the villainous Anti-Monitor, who wishes to destroy every single reality in the DC Multiverse.

Barry travels to Earth-3 to see Jay Garrick and Joan Williams, who have been tracking antimatter signatures across the multiverse, to learn more about what happens to him. They send Barry's mind forward in time, making him see billions of timelines where the multiverse is destroyed and one where he dies saving it.

After Barry's death in Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985, Wally took on the role of the Flash from 1986 to 2009 in DC's main lineup until Barry returned in The Flash: Rebirth. He would later return as the main Flash since 2021, as part of the Infinite Frontier relaunch.

Without his mentor, Wally took up the mantle and became the next Flash, eventually taking on Bart Allen as his sidekick.
