Why are they so adamant about keeping him? It's just ONE movie, it's not like the Flash is the one character holding the whole DC franchise together

[lone_concertina]

Right? He's not Captain America or Superman or anything, he's fucking Flash

[vvitchbaby]

Flash is a key DC character tho and a founding member of the Justice League. If they're doing a reset, he is the perpetrator of the flashpoint plotline that gives them an automatic explanation for changing actors for main characters (granted they could change Ezra in this instance as well but Barry staying constant helps the plot and saves $$$)

$$$ as always.
Apparently, the movie tested very well. And if it's successful they won't want to change the star.

Ugh I did not know that it tested well, it makes sense then that they are desperate for the money it will bring in

[jojito]

Yeah, that's the rumor.
I hope is not true and the movie fails a la Babylon.
