The Flash post-credits scene is eagerly anticipated for several reasons. Obviously, comic book movie stingers are exciting, packed with the potential for future movie teases and major last-minute twists. But with James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU Chapter One on the horizon, this feels bigger than usual.
There is one post-credits scene in The Flash, but you’ll have to wait a while to see it. After a title sequence featuring the lead names in the cast, you’ll be treated to the typical long credits roll. It’s only after that will you see the single post-credits scene. Once that’s finished playing, it’s lights up and you’re free to leave.
SPOILERS AHEAD
The post-credits scene is Barry and Aquaman (Jason Momoa) leaving a bar after what seems like a long night of drinking. Aquaman is clearly drunk, whilst Barry is sober (due to his insane metabolism).
The Flash explains to Aquaman that he has seemingly jumped to multiple timelines and, while every Batman is different, Aquaman seems to be the exact same in every world.
While there isn’t a major revelation or a setup for DCU Chapter One, it does provide a clear explanation for why Aquaman 2 remains unaffected by any timeline shenanigans. It turns out that Arthur’s appearance remains consistent, regardless of the timeline. This clever approach serves as a delightful and endearing method to preempt any online discussions about plot inconsistencies or concerns regarding the sequel’s adherence to canon.
