‘Justice League’ is now shooting in Great Britain, but some lucky souls were allowed to visit the set and observe the filmmaking process, including some fairly important sequences, including the first encounter between Ben Alleck’s Bruce Wayne/Batman and Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen/The Flash.
Keep in mind, this is a work in progress and the final scene may not make the final movie or may be radically different. But this is the scene as described and transcribed by the website JoBlo.
In the scene, as described, Barry Allen returns to his apartment, which is described as being filled with “patched together” technology. Bruce Wayne is there waiting and confronts him with the black and white security footage that fans saw in ‘Batman V Superman’.
From there, here is dialogue as transcribed by JoBlo:
BARRY ALLEN: “You must be looking for a person who looks exactly like me but is definitely not me. Somebody…I don’t know…hippie…long hair. A very attractive Jewish boy.”
Bruce shows him the camera footage which has Barry grabbing milk in the store.
BARRY ALLEN: “Well he drinks milk and I don’t drink milk.”
BRUCE WAYNE: “I know you have abilities; I just don’t know what they are.”
BARRY ALLEN: “My special skills include viola, web design, fluent in sign-language, gorilla sign-language…”
BRUCE WAYNE: “Silicon-based sand coarse fabric. Abrasion-resistant. Heat-resistant.
BARRY ALLEN: “Uh yeah I do competitive ice dancing.”
BRUCE WAYNE: “This is used on the space shuttle to prevent it from burning up upon re-entry.”
BARRY ALLEN: “I ummm do…very competitive ice dancing. Look man I don’t know who you are but whoever you’re looking for, it’s not me.”
Bruce then quickly throws a Batarang at Barry as the environment goes into slo-motion except for him who easily catches the Batarang and makes the revelation that Bruce is Batman.
BARRY ALLEN: “You’re the Batman?”
BRUCE WAYNE: “So you’re fast.”
BARRY ALLEN: “That feels like an over-simplification.”
BRUCE WAYNE: “I’m putting together a team of people with special abilities. You see I think enemies are coming…”
BARRY ALLEN: “STOP! Right there. I’m in.”
BRUCE WAYNE: “You are. Just like that?”
BARRY ALLEN: “Yeah. Umm…I need friends.”
BRUCE WAYNE: “Great.”
BARRY ALLEN: *looking at the Batarang* “Can I keep this?”
What do you think of this exchange? It’s humorous, but not hilarious. Then again, maybe this was just one take and we’ll get to see something livelier in the finished film. The Easter Egg line about gorilla sign language is a nice nod to the comic book Flash’s enemy Gorilla Grodd (who can speak English).
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
