Though the upcoming The Flash movie is another in a long line of superheroes adapted for the big screen, the DC film doesn't intend on being just another comic book movie -- at least according to the film's cinematographer, that is.

The Flash's cinematographer Henry Braham told Collider how the film's reality-altering, multiverse-hopping plot will add a layer of complexity to not only its storytelling, but its filmmaking as well "[The Flash is] going great. I mean, it's a complex movie, and it's a fantastic concept of bringing in the generations of these kind of comic books," Braham said. "Again, it's not really a comic book movie. It's not based in reality, but it’s a much more kind of technically complex — I think all the filmmakers are really keen that the technical complexity of the storytelling doesn't get in the way of just good quality filmmaking."

Braham went on to express how he believes The Flash will be more of a movie than a superhero movie, adding, "Hopefully, I don't think it'll ever come across as a superhero movie. It will come across as a movie, and that's what it is. I think that's the way these things need to go. We need to be making great, great, great films that happen to have superheroes who have truthful characters behind them, with all the character flaws that we find in humanity."

Reportedly influenced by the Flashpoint comic book storyline, actor Micheal Keaton -- who will be reprising his role as Batman in the film -- commented on The Flash's complexity earlier this month, saying, "I had to read [the script] more than three times to go, 'Wait, how does this work?' They had to explain that to me several times. By the way, I'm not being arrogant, I hope, about this... There's a lot of things I don't know about. And so, I don't know, I just kind of figured it out, but this was different."

In that same interview, Keaton also discussed his thoughts on the superhero genre as a whole, crediting director Tim Burton -- who Keaton worked with on 1989's Batman -- for beginning the comic book movie craze. "Everything you see now started with him. If you really think about what happened between 1989 and now, on a cultural, corporate, economic level, it’s unbelievable," he said.

Directed by Andy Muschetti and staring Ezra Miller, Micheal Keaton, Ben Affleck and Sasha Calle, The Flash sprints into theaters on Nov. 4, 2022.
