(CNN) --

The new trailer for the highly anticipated DC superhero movie "The Flash" is finally here.

The trailer made its big debut during the 2023 Super Bowl with some major characters and a big reveal.

(CNN and DC are part of the same parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.)

The titular star Ezra Miller, who identifies as non-binary, plays Barry Allen and first appears in his Flash costume.

The voice of “Batman” star Michael Keaton can be heard saying: “You can go anywhere.

Another timeline, another universe.

So why do you want to stay and fight to save this one?"

“Because this is where my mom lives,” Miller replies.

The new film is a loose adaptation of the comics and animated series "The Flashpoint Paradox."

It marks DC's foray into the idea of ​​a multiverse, a plot already used by Marvel in movies like "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness."

The trailer is also the first full look at Keaton's return as Batman, appearing in his iconic long-eared bat suit halfway through the trailer.

In a thrilling sequence, iconic music from "Batman" composer Danny Elfman plays as Keaton's gothic superhero rushes to take down the villains.

Keaton's return as Batman marks the first time in 30 years that he has donned the Batsuit on the big screen, after the last time was in 1992 in Tim Burton's "Batman Returns," co-starring Michelle Pfeiffer.

Another Batman, Ben Affleck, also appears in the trailer looking clean-shaven and more like Bruce Wayne.

Affleck first played Batman in Zack Snyder's 2016 film "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," and later appeared in installments of "Justice League" and "Suicide Squad" as the masked man.

In another big reveal, the trailer offers the first official look at Sasha Calle as Kara Zor-El, the new Supergirl in the DC superhero cinematic universe.

“The Flash” will hit theaters on June 16, 2023.
