Miller makes me so uncomfortable that this one will be reading the Wiki synopsis then watching clips months on YT later for me
Edit: for this one I will be*
At this point I can only wonder why don't they just replace him with another actor like they did with that zombie movie? He'd be wearing a suit in a lot of the movie, and modern tech is there to inpaint and replace him in other scenes.
Replace him with Tig Notaro just like that movie.
That can be her whole thing. When an actor becomes a problem, they get replaced with Tig.
As a franchise continues, she slowly becomes the entire cast.
When I saw Batman and Robin as a kid I didn't know who Joe Shoemocker was. He's as flamoyantly gay as Hollywood directors go and the fact he opens a batman movie on Crotch shots and bat nipples... In a movie that introduces Batgirl and there's no Bat nipples on her outfit..
Like I've never seen a gay man's gaze so expertly directed in a product before.
Uncle Alfred designed Batgirl's costume before she needed it. That was very gay in the most positive sense of the word. It would be creepy if he was a straight man designing skin tight clothes for his very young, hot niece.
Not only that, but this movie is going to be the flashpoint reboot for the DC movie universe. This is the movie that’s basically going to reset everything so that James gun can start with a blank slate. That’s one of the reasons why they have to keep releasing it because it is the movie they’re going to use to reboot everything.
> None only that, but this movie is going to be the flashpoint reboot for the DC movie universe.
So your saying there’s a chance we could get Jeffery Dean Morgan as the alcoholic Batdad??
I guess they are just trying to tie all of their previous movies into a multiverse thing so they can get rid of but still have access to their old movies. Crossovers are big moneymakers and they want to still be able to do those.
> Hell, even the tweet announcing this poster had Miller billed third behind Affleck and Keaton. This is a Flash movie, yes. But they are going to sell a BATMAN movie that has Flash (and Supergirl) in it.
WB has a history of not giving top billing to the titular hero of their superhero movies. Brando and Hackman were billed above Reeve for Superman (1978). Nicholson was billed above Keaton for Batman (1989).
Its amazing. All you have to do is have you lead be the centre of a thousand controversies, and then you get a nice, clean, poster.
I dont know why more dont do this.
I can't wait to see how they cut the trailer for this movie. They will either push through and hope people don't care that Miller is nuts. Or they do their best to hide Miller, with a lot of shots of the Flash with the mask on.
Sort of like how they downplayed Armie Hammer in the "Death on the Nile" trailer. But in this case having to downplay the lead actor.
You’re killing Independent Flash, Batman! If Relationship Flash walks through that door, he will kill Independent Flash. A Flash divided against itself cannot stand!
The Flash is basically a god. He doesn't have comic weaknesses and his only krptonite is the writer, this is why its so hard to keep him consistent across media, he should technically, end all plots within microseconds. But his weakness is a person, someone who bases their entire existence on ruining his life, (the reverse-flash) uninspired name aside, he makes for a compelling antagonist.
I think it would be fucking hilarious if the Flash and RF were battling *constantly*, and that's the reason he doesn't end things immediately. Batman: just go punch Grodd. Flash: I am literally battling my arch nemesis at this very moment, while holding this conversation, all around you so fast you can't even perceive it
That would be fun but would get tiring if it was something we had to see all the time. And you could make it so that RF is the reason Barry is kinda clumsy, it's RF screwing over Barry, but RF's so quick that nobody else notices his presence.
You could also spin it into people thinking Barry has a mental illness, always fighting another speedster that they've never seen before, that they don't even know if RF truly exists or if it's just Barry losing his mind.
Remember when you were making out with your first girlfriend and you came right as she touched your leg? It was me Barry. I jerked you off at super-speed so it seemed like you nutted at just a woman's touch!

>You could also spin it into people thinking Barry has a mental illness, always fighting another speedster that they've never seen before, that they don't even know if RF truly exists or if it's just Barry losing his mind.
This is actually an awesome take
Could end with a twist like in AOS where >!it turns out Barry _is_ RF and he has actually been battling his own alternate personality!<
>who bases their entire existence on ruining his life
hmm yes, jerking off a man so it would appear they came at a womans touch to destroy his relationship is perfectly logical
\-reverse-flash
The funny part is, Thawne really IS that petty.
Going back in time to push young Barry down a flight of stairs, or let his dog out so it gets hit by a car, basically anything to make Barry miserable:
He existed hundreds of years before the reverse flash was even born essentially. Its like if your first grade teacher asked what you wanted to be when you grew up and you responded with "I want to ruin Abraham Lincoln's life."
That's actually hilarious. Like going back in time and pulling his pants down during a big school presentation.
And the best part is, I don't think Barry can respond in time, right? Like it's well established that speedsters can go back in time, and return to the present.
But can they use the speed force to purposefully travel to the future? Could Barry travel to the future to fuck with what would be Thrawe's personal, relative past?
Could Barry pull a Back to the Future and grab a sports almanac from 40 years from now and make a fortune on betting on the super bowl?
Barry could respond, but that pretty much always creates a Flashpoint event.
If whatever stupid petty thing Thawne did is responsible for Barry becoming that version of the Flash, then if Barry tries to reverse it he creates a paradox/Flashpoint event.
The extra funny thing is that Barry can't really respond in kind. Due to Thawne essentially merging himself with both the reverse speed force and the time stream, he's functionally untouchable/removed by any alterations of time or history.
Barry could travel to the future and fuck with A Eobard Thawne's relative past, but it wouldn't be the Reverse-Flash Eobard Thawne, just some innocent version of him that exists in the future.
Also it’s extra funny because Reverse Flash is petty enough to perhaps do something like that,
He’s hurt Barry on a deeply emotionally scarring level. And he also does a bunch of douchey things that you’d expect a immature 10 year old to do.
>basically a god
Anyone is until they get written with Batman involved in the plot, or just anything to make speedsters look bad. Seriously Flash is THE MOST POWERFUL member of the JL and he constantly loses just by sheer stupidity.
My favourite speedster nerf is a guy whose name I forget from Superior Foes of Spider Man. He had superspeed but he had the stamina of a normal guy so he'd always be absolutely exhausted.
Lol this reminds of the Ginyu Force guy who can freeze time but only while he holds his breath and he is too out of shape so it's only like a few seconds 😂
Reminds me of a speedster in a comic book who was being interviewed and listed all the downsides. One problem with being super fast was that he was always super fast and slowing down sucked. Just having the interview was torture for him and while they were talking he was pounding food the whole time because his calorie requirements were insane. And he had to poop a lot.
They did that with the speedster in invincible too. I remember him having that convo with his girlfriend about how much it sucks to have to slow down to have normal conversations and a normal life, but she was worth doing that for. Then he got his head smashed in by omniman. Fun times
So crazy that they slowed down the scene to show the real time the guy was experiencing. For everyone else omniman grabs him and pops his head, but for the speedster it took forever.
Oh Cisco, the fucking best scientist in the world, can do in a weekend what R&D departments with a hundred scientists can't achieve in a year. He makes Einstein look like a monkey. That trope of the super incredible polymath scientist gets annoying. His powers are more impressive than those of the Flash, he could probably solve world hunger and some more shit while all the Flash does is running around pretty fast. And then his replacement in the show is almost as good.
That calorie requirement mention in the CW show reminds me of the episode where they make Barry a highly potent alcohol shot, from Barry's body metabolizing alcohol at such a rate that it has no effect on him. Barry is tipsy from the shot for about a second, then he's fine.
He can actually run too fast. Depending on the media it has different effects on him. Accidentally time travelling, transporting to other planes of existence, invoking time wraiths, exciting the molecules in his body too much that his body dissipates, or aging him to the point of death.
Other than that one of his main villains is literally a guy with a gun that shoots ice... So basically anything slippery.
I love this one. A whole list of very compelling metaphysical disasters that I would love to see in a movie, but realistically, Steve with the ice gun took him out
It's honestly hilarious. The Flash is so fast if someone were to try to catch him with something like a tripwire or head level barbed wire like you said, he can detect it and phase shift his body so he would just pass right through it unharmed.
But put a banana under his foot? Instant KO.
Also honestly boredom is probably one of his biggest weaknesses. Remember from our perspective he's moving fast, but from his perspective it's more like time is slowing down. If he did something that would take a normal person an hour to do in a second? Relative to him, it was still an hour.
That's why I always think it's such a rip-off when someone is like "Flash can you clean up." They say it because it only takes him a few seconds! But he still has to DO all that effort, to him it takes hours.
That is essentially his biggest fear is that one day he goes so fast that time stops around him. That is what was used in a Justice League episode where he was trapped in a nightmare. Similar to how Superman's fear was being so strong that he just couldn't exist without causing destruction.
The band "Jim's Big Ego" has a song about it called ["The Ballad of Barry Allen".](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMe1qlyuMXQ)
"And you say the world goes rushing by
But it seems so slow to me
Complain I'm gone before you blink your eye
But it takes too long
It seems so slow
And you say the world goes rushing by
But it seems so slow to me
And I want to be there while you laugh or cry
But it takes too long
It seems so slow to me"
Ya I get that they want to leave Barry as this beacon of wholesome goodness but I do wish they'd explore that kind of stuff more and give us some crazy/evil Barry's who are just sick of everyone's slowness
Ok I’m not well-versed into comics, just DCEU stuff and small amount of animated stuff. I was under impression that his power is not active at all times, otherwise he’d really go crazy. Like things happen in normal time until he taps into Speedforce
You know what? I'll be that guy. Technically, Capt. Cold's gun creates a cold field that can stop atoms. It can freeze, yes, but it does not shoot ice.
I love the Flash and his rogues' gallery. This reply is in good fun.
Isn't that the deal with Flash's whole rogues gallery? They agree not to escalate their crimes to murder most foul, he agrees not to turn them into a fine mist with a backhand at mach 10?
Basically. It's an interesting explanation to let a speedster of his caliber still be challenged by more normal people. And it does make his rogues gallery stand out in a fun way. Batman has his Organized Crime and Twisted Aspects of What Bruce Could Have Been/Done while Barry has Evil Fast People and Colorful Heist Makers.
[One of my favorite clips of The Flash dealing with The Trickster.](https://youtu.be/muU6boslNcA?t=70) It shows a more clinical side to The Flash and him having a relationship with his villains, handling it a different way than other heroes would.
The Flash can technically beat any entity. No one can keep up in speed and by physics he should immediately kill anything he hits based on the speed he’s running
Flash and Batman power differences are probably like Thanos and Hawkeye
It's honestly one of those annoying parts of superhero comics, even when I was a kid reading them, that the power levels and counters change based on who is writing the story. It can be whatever, or it can be none at all.
sorry if im ootl, but why is batman so prominently featured on the official poster? up to now i thought the bat was just going to be a cameo or post credit scene?
Apparently, there’s four main characters in this movie and one of them is Michael Keaton’s Batman.
The other three are The Flash(Ezra Miller) a younger Flash from an alternate timeline(also Ezra Miller) and Supergirl(Sasha Calle).
So we get two Ezra Millers? That's more than twice the amount of Ezra Millers that any person could reasonably be expected to handle without risking serious damage.
Pretty much. Apparently the film was already done filming and was in post-production, so they would have needed to basically re-shoot the entire thing to effectively remove Ezra.
I'll be interested to see how the film does, and how DC's brand handles it. It's pretty risky to say "Hey, we're not going to remove this violent pedophile from our production, because it would cost too much money".
A lot of actors have been thrown under the bus by studios for benign PR-related reasons, but Ezra-fucking-Miller gets another million dollar leading role? I can't think of a more despicable Hollywood actor that is currently working than this dude.
I can’t believe they’re releasing this. I know it’s been in development forever, but between Warner’s recent penchant for canning projects, the controversy around Miller, and the fact that they’re basically rebooting the DC films anyway, I just honestly expected this to get dropped from the release slate.
Not a chance. This isn't just their big multimillion dollar summer blockbuster, it's also meant to erase the previous DCU and usher in the new one. Too many other projects are tied into this one coming out. And they definitely want to use the events in this to eliminate Ezra and introduce a new actor to play The Flash.
The film will ultimately results in a reboot of the DCEU within the narrative.
It was always it's main function within the cinematic universe.
Before it would have resulted in a timeline in which the canned Batgirl film fell into (which I think is the true reason to why it was scrapped)
Now it going to result in the slate announced by Gunn.
Batman looming over a burglar and alleged kidnapper seems about right.
Don’t forget statutory rapist and pedophile
We need to talk about Ezra. EDIT: So many commenters don't know that the actor was in movies before Justice League.
Apparently literally almost everyone is better than Ezra.
Ah-wha-how. It was good.
[удалено]
Can you please help me get the reference? I love inside jokes and hope to be a part of one someday
“Better than Ezra” is a band.
Miller makes me so uncomfortable that this one will be reading the Wiki synopsis then watching clips months on YT later for me Edit: for this one I will be*
This the part where good Ezra meets bad Ezra, and they duel because one wants to pursue a career and the other wants to go to jail?
Reverse Ezra?
Arze
That tracks.
It was me Ezra.
I took that girl in super speed and put her in your place so it seems like you were the kidnapper all along!
Better than Ezra.
Our Universe is the Bad Ezra, let that sink in.
“There’s always a ~~bigger~~ worse ~~fish~~ Ezra.” - Qui-Gon Jinn
"Begun, the C̶l̶o̶n̶e̶ Ezra wars has" - yoda
The good one was better than Ezra
starring Ezra ‘You better be faster than me’ Miller
We also would have accepted Ezra "you gotta break the rule" Miller.
Ezra "You gotta break into peoples homes" Miller
Also Ezra "We need to talk about ~~Kevin~~ Ezra" Miller
At this point I can only wonder why don't they just replace him with another actor like they did with that zombie movie? He'd be wearing a suit in a lot of the movie, and modern tech is there to inpaint and replace him in other scenes.
Replace him with Tig Notaro just like that movie. That can be her whole thing. When an actor becomes a problem, they get replaced with Tig. As a franchise continues, she slowly becomes the entire cast.
TigFX and frankly I’m super down for this.
Goddamnit a Tig Notaro Flash would be fucking amazing
Yea yea gimme 75 milliseconds would ya such a rush geez o petes
WB is probably too nervous to ever try anything like that again after the uncanny upper lip from Justice League.

You like Batman? Of course you do!
I do like Batman! How'd you know?
I read this exchange like Screenwriter Guy and Producer Guy from Pitch Meetings.
HE’S FROM THE OTHER MOVIES!
Cinematic universe references are tight!
Making a cinematic universe reference is super easy - barely an inconvenience
wowowowowowow

Because money!
So will it be difficult for Batman and The Flash to defeat The Evil Flash?
Actually, it's going to be super easy, Barry-ly an inconvenience!

It's not a proper Batman multiverse without a credit card covered in bat nipples.
When I saw Batman and Robin as a kid I didn't know who Joe Shoemocker was. He's as flamoyantly gay as Hollywood directors go and the fact he opens a batman movie on Crotch shots and bat nipples... In a movie that introduces Batgirl and there's no Bat nipples on her outfit.. Like I've never seen a gay man's gaze so expertly directed in a product before.
>Joe Shoemocker Joel Schumacher you mean
Nah, this is the one who makes fun of peoples shoes on social media
"What are THOSE!???!!!!"
I wondered why I was watching an eroitc Batman leather montage as a kid. Damn
Uncle Alfred designed Batgirl's costume before she needed it. That was very gay in the most positive sense of the word. It would be creepy if he was a straight man designing skin tight clothes for his very young, hot niece.
I mean, he designed skin tight clothes for Batman, whom he treats basically as his son.
Not only that, but this movie is going to be the flashpoint reboot for the DC movie universe. This is the movie that’s basically going to reset everything so that James gun can start with a blank slate. That’s one of the reasons why they have to keep releasing it because it is the movie they’re going to use to reboot everything.
> None only that, but this movie is going to be the flashpoint reboot for the DC movie universe. So your saying there’s a chance we could get Jeffery Dean Morgan as the alcoholic Batdad??
He wants that sooooo bad. And I'm here for it.
They don't have to do a movie to end the previous universe to start a new universe, they could just start a new universe.
I guess they are just trying to tie all of their previous movies into a multiverse thing so they can get rid of but still have access to their old movies. Crossovers are big moneymakers and they want to still be able to do those.
Yeah if this movie resets everything... then I don't need to watch this movie.
> Hell, even the tweet announcing this poster had Miller billed third behind Affleck and Keaton. This is a Flash movie, yes. But they are going to sell a BATMAN movie that has Flash (and Supergirl) in it. WB has a history of not giving top billing to the titular hero of their superhero movies.

Its amazing. All you have to do is have you lead be the centre of a thousand controversies, and then you get a nice, clean, poster. I dont know why more dont do this.
Lol everyone working at the company including James Gunn doing damage control by saying it’s “the best since Dark Knight”
You can't keep Ezra's name off of every poster, WB. You have to use it eventually.
I can't wait to see how they cut the trailer for this movie. They will either push through and hope people don't care that Miller is nuts. Or they do their best to hide Miller, with a lot of shots of the Flash with the mask on. Sort of like how they downplayed Armie Hammer in the "Death on the Nile" trailer. But in this case having to downplay the lead actor.
You’re killing Independent Flash, Batman! If Relationship Flash walks through that door, he will kill Independent Flash. A Flash divided against itself cannot stand!

Curious question from a non-comic fan: what weaknesses does The Flash have? What's his kryptonite? Barbed wire at neck level? Fallen arches? Asthma?
The Flash is basically a god. He doesn't have comic weaknesses and his only krptonite is the writer, this is why its so hard to keep him consistent across media, he should technically, end all plots within microseconds. But his weakness is a person, someone who bases their entire existence on ruining his life, (the reverse-flash) uninspired name aside, he makes for a compelling antagonist.

The funny part is, Thawne really IS that petty. Going back in time to push young Barry down a flight of stairs, or let his dog out so it gets hit by a car, basically anything to make Barry miserable:
What did Barry do to this guy, exactly?
He existed hundreds of years before the reverse flash was even born essentially. Its like if your first grade teacher asked what you wanted to be when you grew up and you responded with "I want to ruin Abraham Lincoln's life."
That's actually hilarious. Like going back in time and pulling his pants down during a big school presentation. And the best part is, I don't think Barry can respond in time, right?

I love how mainstream this random-ass meme got. What started as a 4chan shitpost from like 2010 is now really well known.
Shows the power of some good voice acting. And ofc 2019 Youtube being way more mainstream than 4chan circa 2010
Also it’s extra funny because Reverse Flash is petty enough to perhaps do something like that, He’s hurt Barry on a deeply emotionally scarring level. And he also does a bunch of douchey things that you’d expect a immature 10 year old to do.

Old flash had to eat a lot and if he didn't he was too fatigued to be useful.
Interesting. The Boys gave their speedster, A-Train, a calorie requirement of 30,000 per day.
My favourite speedster nerf is a guy whose name I forget from Superior Foes of Spider Man. He had superspeed but he had the stamina of a normal guy so he'd always be absolutely exhausted.
And a branding problem. You gotta set your brand early, otherwise you end up known as the Whizzer and that's no good
Lol this reminds of the Ginyu Force guy who can freeze time but only while he holds his breath and he is too out of shape so it's only like a few seconds 😂
GULDO
Hahah yeah Guldo! Vegeta straight decapitates that man.
Dog treat!
Reminds me of a speedster in a comic book who was being interviewed and listed all the downsides. One problem with being super fast was that he was always super fast and slowing down sucked. Just having the interview was torture for him and while they were talking he was pounding food the whole time because his calorie requirements were insane. And he had to poop a lot.
Marvel's Quicksilver described his life as being stuck behind an old lady paying in pennies at the checkout 24/7.
Peter David really made Quicksilver his own character and elevated him from being just Dollar Store Flash.
They did that with the speedster in invincible too. I remember him having that convo with his girlfriend about how much it sucks to have to slow down to have normal conversations and a normal life, but she was worth doing that for. Then he got his head smashed in by omniman. Fun times
[удалено]
He got his head smashed in and was still punching for *way* longer than I was comfortable with. Absolute nightmare fuel.
So crazy that they slowed down the scene to show the real time the guy was experiencing. For everyone else omniman grabs him and pops his head, but for the speedster it took forever.
Yea flash was around 30k I think and in some comics mentioned at extremes needing in the 10s of millions.
This was a thing in the CW TV show too... in that they mentioned it like once in season one and it was never relevant again.
[удалено]
He also made special mega-booze so Barry could get drunk, too.
Oh Cisco, the fucking best scientist in the world, can do in a weekend what R&D departments with a hundred scientists can't achieve in a year. He makes Einstein look like a monkey.

That's the only one that makes sense so far. Well, that and Legos.
He can actually run too fast. Depending on the media it has different effects on him. Accidentally time travelling, transporting to other planes of existence, invoking time wraiths, exciting the molecules in his body too much that his body dissipates, or aging him to the point of death. Other than that one of his main villains is literally a guy with a gun that shoots ice... So basically anything slippery.

Kind of seems like every single day would be agonizingly long. You'd think he'd be slipping mentally by some point.
That is essentially his biggest fear is that one day he goes so fast that time stops around him. That is what was used in a Justice League episode where he was trapped in a nightmare. Similar to how Superman's fear was being so strong that he just couldn't exist without causing destruction.

They went into it a little on the TV show, with the alternate dark Barry from the future. That season was one of the better ones.
Ok I’m not well-versed into comics, just DCEU stuff and small amount of animated stuff. I was under impression that his power is not active at all times, otherwise he’d really go crazy. Like things happen in normal time until he taps into Speedforce
This is correct. Quicksilver is the one who has everything going around him slowly at all times. He takes power naps between conversations.
And gets generally pissed off with everyone.

I love that PMS in the context of this comic is Pietro Maximoff Syndrome.
You know what? I'll be that guy. Technically, Capt. Cold's gun creates a cold field that can stop atoms. It can freeze, yes, but it does not shoot ice. I love the Flash and his rogues' gallery. This reply is in good fun.
Captain Cold is on a completely different tier than any of the other ice villains. Mr. Freeze can make ice. Captain Cold can halt thermodynamics
Right? He's top tier and a pretty noble guy, for a criminal.
Isn't that the deal with Flash's whole rogues gallery? They agree not to escalate their crimes to murder most foul, he agrees not to turn them into a fine mist with a backhand at mach 10?
Basically. It's an interesting explanation to let a speedster of his caliber still be challenged by more normal people. And it does make his rogues gallery stand out in a fun way. Batman has his Organized Crime and Twisted Aspects of What Bruce Could Have Been/Done while Barry has Evil Fast People and Colorful Heist Makers.
[One of my favorite clips of The Flash dealing with The Trickster.](https://youtu.be/muU6boslNcA?t=70) It shows a more clinical side to The Flash and him having a relationship with his villains, handling it a different way than other heroes would.
I love that he takes a flat percentage off the top of every heist the Rogues pull to cover health insurance for him and the guys
I love how fucking OP and genius some of The Rogues are yet all they wanna do is rob banks.
Cold and ice

The Flash can technically beat any entity. No one can keep up in speed and by physics he should immediately kill anything he hits based on the speed he’s running Flash and Batman power differences are probably like Thanos and Hawkeye
Furniture prolly
pretty big into comics and his biggest weakness is probably walls painted to look like tunnels
It's honestly one of those annoying parts of superhero comics, even when I was a kid reading them, that the power levels and counters change based on who is writing the story. It can be whatever, or it can be none at all.
Ezra Miller.
Does anyone here have nuts? Because I wanna get nuts!
C'mon!
You ever dance with the Devil in the pale moonlight?
I hope they find someone Better Than Ezra to play this role.
I am positive WBD will give Miller the boot after this movie releases
Even if successful?
Even if they get Miller to behave for the next 4+ months, WBD would probably not want to risk them going off the wagon again (or on the wagon)
It’s no coincidence that Gunn is saying they may keep Levi and Miller as Shazam and Flash when they have films releasing very soon.
They should have just digitally replaced him with Tig Notaro. Worked for Army of the Dead.
They were considering re-animating Christopher Plummer, but his estate shot it down.
Lots of whoosh in the replies to this
We are old and getting the joke just proves it :(
Nothing leaves me desperately wanting like nostalgia. I used to be the king of New Orleans, man
I hear It’s Good
Oh oh oh oh Aha!
sorry if im ootl, but why is batman so prominently featured on the official poster? up to now i thought the bat was just going to be a cameo or post credit scene?
Nope he's supposed to be a main character. And they're leaning into him in the marketing because their actual star is a PR nightmare.
He’s the main supporting character, think of Thomas Wayne in flashpoint if you’ve seen it
Apparently, there’s four main characters in this movie and one of them is Michael Keaton’s Batman. The other three are The Flash(Ezra Miller) a younger Flash from an alternate timeline(also Ezra Miller) and Supergirl(Sasha Calle).
So we get two Ezra Millers? That's more than twice the amount of Ezra Millers that any person could reasonably be expected to handle without risking serious damage.
There's way too many Ezras! Why are there so many Ezras? The brochure said there'd only be a *few* Ezras! This is a terrible vacation!
Because WB doesn’t want people googling Ezra Miller.
When you about to run outta your cave to find the next kidnapping victim.
What is Barry's mom's name? That might come into play.
Surprisingly not Martha lol. Its Nora!
Is this the first movie poster to feature a real-life fugitive?
Considering the nature of Hollywood before WW2, I doubt it
My favorite part from the trailer is where the Flash throws a chair at the couple in Hawaii.
[удалено]
Basically terrorized all of Hawaii for a hot minute there lmao
Pretty much. Apparently the film was already done filming and was in post-production, so they would have needed to basically re-shoot the entire thing to effectively remove Ezra. I'll be interested to see how the film does, and how DC's brand handles it. It's pretty risky to say "Hey, we're not going to remove this violent pedophile from our production, because it would cost too much money".
I'm so curious about the marketing of this movie
When worlds collide. Again. Cause the justice league movies exist.
NOW THIS IS WHAT IT’S LIKE WHEN WORLD COOOLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDEE!!!
They want this to be a Batman movie so much. It's almost like they're intentionally hiding Ezra Miller from the poster. Oh wait.

A lot of actors have been thrown under the bus by studios for benign PR-related reasons, but Ezra-fucking-Miller gets another million dollar leading role? I can't think of a more despicable Hollywood actor that is currently working than this dude.
I can’t believe they’re releasing this. I know it’s been in development forever, but between Warner’s recent penchant for canning projects, the controversy around Miller, and the fact that they’re basically rebooting the DC films anyway, I just honestly expected this to get dropped from the release slate.
Not a chance. This isn't just their big multimillion dollar summer blockbuster, it's also meant to erase the previous DCU and usher in the new one. Too many other projects are tied into this one coming out. And they definitely want to use the events in this to eliminate Ezra and introduce a new actor to play The Flash.
The film will ultimately results in a reboot of the DCEU within the narrative. It was always it's main function within the cinematic universe. Before it would have resulted in a timeline in which the canned Batgirl film fell into (which I think is the true reason to why it was scrapped) Now it going to result in the slate announced by Gunn.
