[trekkiepetrelli]

Variety also describes James Gunn and Peter Safran’s plans for DC as “a broad but not blanket reset.”

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

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

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.

What's it gonna take for them to finally cancel that movie? For Ezra to kill someone?

Jeez, imagine the money they could save if they cancelled it for tax breaks like Batgirl.

I’m not surprised. People like James Gunn et al have just the right amount of social idk.. awareness? that doesn’t go beyond “mental health matters!!!” in a macro level.

Ezra Miller’s literal crimes are swept under the rug to people like Gunn because to him, Miller’s mental health plight is like their version of qualified immunity. Especially since the majority of Ezra’s crimes are against women.

I haven't been paying attention. What was Miller convicted of?

Am I missing something? Nothing there shows him as a convicted felon. Court is still pending.
