The Flash is now in cinemas and you're probably in two camps: you're waiting to see it and want to know if there's a post-credits scene to stick around for, or you've already seen it and want to dive a little deeper into what just went down and what it all means.
Whatever your intentions, we're here to answer all your questions surrounding The Flash post-credits scene. First up, we've got an answer to just how many there are. Then, we'll head into spoiler territory for a full recap of what went down in the post-credits. Ready? Let's speed into The Flash post-credits scenes and what it all means for DC's exciting future.
How many post-credits scenes are in The Flash?
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. After about three-to-four minutes, the single post-credits scene will begin. Once that's finished playing, it's lights up and you're free to leave.
What happens in The Flash post-credits scene?
The Flash post-credits scene opens with Barry and Aquaman (Jason Momoa) after an especially heavy night of drinking. 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.
A worse for wear Aquaman, though, isn't listening - and tries to sleep in a puddle. He gives Barry one of his rings and The Flash departs.
So, no huge reveal or setup for DCU Chapter One, but it does go a long way to explaining why no timeline shenanigans will affect Aquaman 2 - because Arthur looks the same, no matter what. If nothing else, it's a fun and cute way of warding off any potential internet chatter about plot inconsistencies or the Aquaman sequel being not in lockstep with canon.
