'The Flash' is currently playing in theaters.
One of the most discussed scenes from The Flash movie was the first action scene that featured the Scarlet Speedster rescuing a group of falling babies. In a video from The New York Times' Anatomy of a Scene series, director Andy Muschietti talked about including the scene in the movie. Originally, the movie began with a different action scene. "In the original script, there was a scene with a volcano," said Muschietti.
At the beginning of the film, The Flash is summoned by both Alfred Pennyworth and Batman to assist the Dark Knight as he catches a group of bank robbers in Gotham City. When a hospital is damaged, a group of babies, as well as a nurse, fall out of a window to their potential doom, as the Flash races to save them. In the video, Muschietti talked about what he wanted to show about the superhero in the scene. "What I wanted is to put our superhero to a test," said Muschietti.
