So while “The Flash” will serve as a reboot of the DCEU into the DC Universe, it doesn’t necessarily close all the potential for allowing DC Studios to return to this reality through an Elseworlds story setting.

As for Henry Cavill, every fan wants to see the actor have one last chance to shine as Superman and get a more satisfying ending.
