Trivia
An internet fan theory posits that the film contains numerous references to Superman. For instance, Barry is always wearing a blue suit. By collecting the free air miles, he can now fly anywhere he wants (and in fact in one scene he actually attempts to physically fly, jumping from the balcony and landing in the street). Finally, when Lena holds Barry, her red dress resembles a cape.
