Barry makes things weird with his crush on new footage

New footage from The lightning revealed one of Barry Allen’s embarrassing moments.

Thanks to The lightningDC Marketing DC fans already know that the Scarlet Speedster’s solo movie features multiple cameos, high stakes, and Barry Allen’s use of super speed.

However, a new clip suggests that Barry uses his powers for personal situations as well, including a moment involving his crush, Iris West.

Barry Allen’s awkward moment with Iris West

In The lightningIn his new clip, Iris West, played by Kiersey Clemons, is seen asking Ezra Miller’s Barry if the two can talk.

A quick cut follows to Barry speeding through his apartment in a quick attempt to clean up.

Once he lets her in, Iris admits, “I won’t lie, it’s a lot neater in here than I expected” just before a closet door opens and Barry’s personal belongings fall to the floor.

Barry tries to overcome the awkward moment by offering Iris a drink which she quickly accepts.

The Flash’s use of humor and heart

This isn’t the first time Ezra Miller’s Barry has interacted with Kiersey Clemons’ Iris on screen, but it’s technically the first time for the big screen.

Clemons was meant to be a part of 2017 Justice League. However, her scenes with Miller were eventually cut.

In 2021, Zack Snyder included the abandoned footage in his director’s cut Justice League; but now, as this new clip showed, Clemons’ Iris has been fully restored.

It’s also possible that her role as Barry’s crush will contribute to his own arc.

Besides, from what the trailers, teasers and other clips have shown, The lightning it seems to be a really funny yet emotional movie.

This new bit of footage only reinforced those expectations by showing Barry in a different, and more relatable, state.

For now, it seems safe to say that The lightning it’s not just another Multiversal story, but a personal story.
