Fans will soon be witnessing two highly anticipated films that are expected to be major box-office hits. With their multiverse storylines and exciting characters, The Flash and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse are sure to deliver plenty of action and adventure for audiences of all ages.
The Flash is based on the DC Comics character of the same name. It will feature a multiverse storyline, with Miller’s Flash encountering versions of himself from alternate universes, including Michael Keaton’s Batman and Ben Affleck’s Batman. The film is set to be released in theaters on November 4, 2022. But many believe that The Flash will be no match for the upcoming Spider-Man film.

Which Superhero Will Win The Box Office
While Flash and Spider-Man are not directly facing off on the big screen, their releases are fairly close together. Both films feature multiverse storylines that involve characters from alternate universes. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will b released on June 2, while The Flash will embrace the big screen on June 16.
In The Flash, Barry Allen, played by Ezra Miller, is able to travel through different universes, which is how he encounters different versions of Batman. It’s possible that he could also come across alternate versions of other DC superheroes, although there has been no confirmation of this yet.
Hands down spider man. Why is this even a question?Please don't give DC a dime until they figure out how to let go abusive actors/actresses.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will continue to explore the multiverse concept, with Miles Morales encountering various versions of Spider-Man. This could potentially include other versions of DC characters, although again, there has been no confirmation of this.
The Multiverse Of Endless Possibilities
The multiverse concept has become increasingly popular in superhero films over the past few years. It allows for multiple versions of a character or universe to exist simultaneously, creating infinite possibilities and storylines that can be explored.
The multiverse is a common concept in comic books, but it has only recently started to be explored on the big screen. One of the earliest examples of this was in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), which introduced audiences to the idea of different versions of Spider-Man from alternate universes. DC is also exploring the multiverse concept with the upcoming film The Flash, which will feature multiple versions of Batman, including Michael Keaton’s version from the 1989 film and Ben Affleck’s version from the DCEU.
The multiverse concept allows filmmakers to explore new and exciting storylines while allowing audiences to see their favorite characters in different contexts and universes. It also allows for crossovers between different franchises, as seen in the recent Disney+ series What If…?, which explores alternate versions of events from the MCU.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is available for streaming on Fubo TV.
