Following Suicide Squad, it was smooth sailing for WB and the DC Justice League movies, but that seems to be short-lived. Three days ago saw word hit that director Rick Famuyiwa had departed his Flash movie over creative differences (something now being said about Ben Affleck’s Batman movie). Rick Famuyiwa is known for directing the Sundance […]
And that’s a wrap for Justice League, which has finished filming in London. Aquaman Jason Momoa posted on Instagram they are having the Justice League wrap party. “There’s [too] many people to thank for all their hard work JL. Tonight is our wrap party. I am so thankful for my cast and crew. I love
It’s been said on more than one occassion that Cyborg will be appearing in The Flash movie. Producer Deborah Snyder all but confirmed Cyborg for The Flash a while back. Likewise, The Flash director Rick Famuyiwa seemingly confirmed an appearance by Ray Fisher as Cyborg alongside Ezra Miller as The Flash as well. While true,
It’s being reported that Billy Crudup will play the father to Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen in the upcoming DCEU The Flash movie. Variety reports Billy Crudup, who played Dr. Manhattan for Zack Snyder in the 2009 Watchmen movie, will play the part of Henry Allen. John Wesley Shipp, who plays the character on The Flash
It’s once again being said Cyborg will be appearing in The Flash movie.
Following producer Deborah Snyder already having confirmed Cyborg for The Flash movie starring Ezra Miller, and Flash director Rick Famuyiwa teasing a team-up, now Variety is stating more of the same.
Sources filled them in that Ray Fisher and Cyborg will be a part of The Flash, but in what capacity is unknown.
It’s noted Cyborg’s appearances in Batman Vs. Superman, Justice League and The Flash are intended to create interest for the character and the planned Cyborg 2020 movie.
Ray Fisher as Cyborg was fully revealed in the recent Justice League trailer, and the Batman vs. Superman cameo saw Cyborg created through use of one of three mother boxes located on Earth.
“Justice League” has a November 17, 2017 release; “The Flash” hits March 16, 2018; “Justice League” 2 lands June 14, 2019.

Justice League trailer:
Ezra Miller is playing The Flash in the DC movies, and Grant Gustin plays The Flash on TV.
The two worlds are considered separate universes, but if you are a fan of The Flash, that’s never stopped him before.
Season 2 of The Flash saw Grant Gustin as Barry Allen travelling to an alternate Earth where he met another version of himself.
Likewise, Ezra Miller teased racing The Flash last Summer, so anything is possible.
“I’m not avoiding [The Flash TV series]. I’m not avoiding it at all,” Gustin told MTV back in July of 2015. “I think it’s awesome. Yeah. I think it’s awesome. And come on. We’re The Flash. It’s parallel universes. Grant Gustin is The Flash, and I’m The Flash. Don’t you see it’s the event horizon. We crossed it baby. Grant and I are chillin.’ We’re gonna have a race! It’s going to be dope! Like Jay Garrick and Barry Allen back in the day! It’s going to be dope!”
MTV caught up again with Ezra Miller this past week where the Justice League Flash teased racing Grant Gustin a second time.
“He’s a boss,” Miller said. “I can’t wait to see him, eye to eye, adrift in the Speed Force — our eyes will lock and, in that moment, we will both know the truth. What truth? I dare not say.”
Grant Gustin also recently reacted to the Ezra Miller Justice League costume that debuted in the new trailer offering it was “sick” and more.
Ezra Miller stars as Barry Allen and The Flash in “Justice League” which has a November 17, 2017 release. “The Flash” movie hits March 16, 2018 directed by Rick Famuyiwa. Grant Gustin returns for “The Flash” Season 3 this October on The CW.

The Flash Season 3 trailer:
Suicide Squad included surprise cameos by members of the Justice League, which also turns out to be a surprise for Jai Courtney.
The movie revealed the background stories for the members of the Suicide Squad and how each Squaddie was caught. For Jai Courtney’s Boomerang, it was revealed The Flash had captured Boomerang during an armed robbery; however, Jai Courtney lets it be known that he only learned about The Flash after watching the movie.
“I didn’t f—ing know that was happening when we were filming. That was a surprise for me when I saw the film,” Jai Courtney told Business Insider.
Courtney continues with mention of how the scene was originally written in the Suicide Squad script.
“It was written like we didn’t really know,” Courtney said. “But it’s part of the roundup of the squad, so my interpretation was that he had been taken out by [Rick] Flag’s crew. But it’s not specified [in the script]. When I saw it, I was like, of course!”
The article notes that Jai Courtney filmed the scene with a green screen (and we can surmise with Ezra Miller filming The Flash separately and then added in post-production), with Courtney going on to talk how it’s a good thing that everything comes together.
“Totally. It was just a nice little thread. That’s what’s cool about all this,” Courtney said. “The potential for that to happen over the course of wherever all this goes is there. The relationships between these characters and different characters in other properties, too. The fact that we can all get into bed and mix it up, the future is bright in that sense.”
“Suicide Squad” is now in theaters directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.
Synopsis:
It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Supervillains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?
In addition to the mid-credits scene, the Suicide Squad Flash scene has leaked online which features Ezra Miller.
The first twenty minutes or so of the movie gives background on the Suicide Squad characters revealing how each of them got caught and ended up in prison.
Regarding Jai Courtney’s Boomerang, he’s caught by The Flash while robbing a bank.
Worth a note is that we see the color of The Flash’s lightning is blue (in the TV show it’s red).

The recent Justice League Comic-Con trailer saw the debut of the Ezra Miller costume for The Flash.
At Comic-Con, Newsarama caught up with Grant Gustin, the TV Flash (separate universes), and got his reaction to the footage.
“Oh man, I haven’t seen this. I heard they might show it today, but I hadn’t seen it. That’s sick. I thought they might make it look like of like Injustice.”
“It’s totally different from our costume. I like that our costume is more of the classic version. That’s something I don’t think you’ll see anywhere else.”
We see Grant Gustin notes the Ezra Miller costume resembles the one from the popular Injustice: Gods Among Us video game which features The Flash wearing more of an armored costume. The Flash cameo in Batman Vs. Superman seemed to futher resemble Injustice, with the Justice League movie Flash costume toned down a bit from that.
Per Gustin’s words, it also seems that the movies won’t be going with the classic costume for The Flash, which is a good thing and keeps the TV series a part and unique from the Ezra Miller version (best of both worlds).
Grant Gustin returns in October on The CW for The Flash Season 3.
Check out images for the Grant Gustin Flash, the Injustice Flash, the Ezra Miller Batman Vs. Superman Flash, and the Ezra Miler Justice League Flash. You can also watch the Justice League Comic-Con trailer and The Flash Season 3 Comic-Con trailer below.

It would have been nice if WB could have kept this a secret, but I guess they’re trying to do whatever they can to promote the movie as in addition to Batman, a second Justice League member is confirmed for Suicide Squad.
An official cast list has been released in a press kit that reveals the order the characters will appear in the movie with The Flash played by Ezra Miller listed. It’s guessed The Flash may appear somewhere in the Suicide Squad‘s second act.
Curiously, Ben Affleck’s name is not listed nor is Batman’s, which may mean the Caped Crusader is just in the movie as a cameo and no Bruce Wayne. Or perhaps the list is not complete.
It’s been speculated The Flash is in Suicide Squad due to lightning featured in the trailers.
Ezra Miller was recently featured in the Justice League Comic-Con trailer.
“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.

Both Ezra Miller and Colin Farrell star in Fantastic Beasts (Farrell is also rumored for the DCEU), with MTV catching up with the actors at Comic-Con.
Ezra Miller discusses working on Justice League where mention of Black Flash comes up. Miller obviously knows his comics.
“When we were driving in here [to Comic-Con], you know the Black Flash, which is the character representative of Death for The Flash?” Miller said. “There was a really good Black Flash costume, and as I was driving by with the window open in my car, he pointed at me. And I was like, ‘I’ll be seeing you, man. I will be seeing you.’ I said that to him and he was like [points finger]. It was amazing [laughter].”
Ezra Miller also offered he loves to put on his Flash costume, with the “awesomeness” outshining the discomfort, and says he has done a lot of improv for his character in Justice League.
“I certainly have been… I have said very few lines the way they were written. I’m going a little crazy,” Miller said with a laugh.
Miller also says working on Justice League has been a blast.
“It’s just everything you hoped for and more. It’s an outrageous amount of fun. I spend every day in a state of sheer ecstasy.”
Ezra Miller talks Justice League, The Flash and Pokemon Go starting around the 6-minute mark in the video below.
“Justice League” has a November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Willem Dafoe as an Atlantean.
Check out the cast of the Justice League being announced on stage at Comic-Con.
Conan O’Brien first introduces Zack Snyder with Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Ray Fisher, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, and finally, Henry Cavill.
A new Justice League trailer and first look image also debuted.
WB has given the new Tomb Raider a release date, which was thought to originally be for the Ezra Miller Flash movie.
Tomb Raider, starring Alicia Vikander, will be released on March 16, 2018.
It should probably be noted that WB never officially announced a release date for The Flash; it was more or less speculation from “insiders” that the movie would be released March 2018.
It’s probably safe to assume The Flash movie will be released in April 2018 as the month is pretty much open (The Avengers 3 and Star War Han Solo movies hit in May; June sees Transformers, Toy Story 4, Juassic World 2 and a Fox Marvel movie.).
Aquaman is also due out the same year, speculated July 2018, with the Batman solo movie also speculated for October 2018.
Check out a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Batman Vs. Superman featuring Ezra Miller as Barry Allen/The Flash along with director Zack Snyder.
The Batman Vs. Superman Ultimate Edition is now available digitally and comes with two hours of extras.
Ezra Miller will next be featured as The Flash in Justice League (check out scene descriptions here and here) and then in the Flash standalone movie.

Following the Justice League details and Gordon, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Cyborg scene description, now a scene involving Barry Allen and Bruce Wayne becomes known.
It’s already been said that the initial Flash costume will be made from spacesuit material held together by electrified wiring, and that by the end of Justice League, Waynetech will have created a new costume for the Flash.
This scene involves Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) returning to his apartment where he finds Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) already there. We also see in the ensuing dialogue that Barry makes a joke which references Gorilla Grodd.
Scene description:
Barry Allen’s apartment is filled with all sorts of homemade tech. Bruce is sitting in a Lazy Boy chair waiting for him and has the convenience store security footage from Lex’s files in Batman Vs. Superman.
JoBlo has the dialogue between Barry Allen and Bruce Wayne as follows:
BARRY ALLEN: “You must be looking for a person who looks exactly like me but is definitely not me. Somebody…I don’t know…hippie…long hair. A very attractive Jewish boy.”
Bruce shows him the camera footage which has Barry grabbing milk in the store.
BARRY ALLEN: “Well he drinks milk, and I don’t drink milk.”
BRUCE WAYNE: “I know you have abilities. I just don’t know what they are.”
BARRY ALLEN: “My special skills include viola, web design, fluent in sign-language, gorilla sign-language…”
BRUCE WAYNE: “Silicon-based sand coarse fabric. Abrasion-resistant. Heat-resistant.
BARRY ALLEN: “Uh yeah I do competitive ice dancing.”
BRUCE WAYNE: “This is used on the space shuttle to prevent it from burning up upon re-entry.”
BARRY ALLEN: “I ummm do…very competitive ice dancing. Look man I don’t know who you are but whoever you’re looking for, it’s not me.”
Bruce then quickly throws a Batarang at Barry as the environment goes into slo-motion except for him who easily catches the Batarang and makes the revelation that Bruce is Batman.
BARRY ALLEN: “You’re the Batman?”
BRUCE WAYNE: “So you’re fast.”
BARRY ALLEN: “That feels like an over-simplification.”
BRUCE WAYNE: “I’m putting together a team of people with special abilities. You see I think enemies are coming…”
BARRY ALLEN: “STOP! Right there. I’m in.”
BRUCE WAYNE: “You are. Just like that?”
BARRY ALLEN: “Yeah. Umm…I need friends.”
BRUCE WAYNE: “Great.”
BARRY ALLEN: looking at the Batarang “Can I keep this?”
“Justice League” has a November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Willem Dafoe as an Atlantean.
Back in April, Batman Vs. Superman producer Deborah Snyder hinted The Flash movie may team up Ezra Miller with Ray Fisher’s Cyborg:
As you can imagine, when we get to the Flash movie, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher — who plays Cyborg — are kind of our youngest characters, and they have a really nice comradery with each other. Ezra is super funny, so the tone of that film will be very different than the rest of them.
Now the possibility of a Flash and Cyborg team-up movie seems more likely as The Flash movie director Rick Famuyiwa is in London, where Justice League is filming, and posted an image of himself along with Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher.
“Look who I ‘ran’ into on the streets of London,” Famuyiwa posted on Twitter with an added “wink.”

Yesterday saw it said that Rick Famuyiwa will be the new director on The Flash movie.
Now Rick Famuyiwa has taken to Twitter to confirm the news by sharing one of the Ezra Miller Flash cameo scenes from Batman Vs. Superman.
“Soooo. What did I miss?” Rick Famuyiwa tweeted, with an and added lighting bolt emjoi.
His next tweet then featured the Batman Vs. Superman scene along with: “#FLASHbackFriday. (Too soon?).”

Following Seth Grahame-Smith parting The Flash movie over reported creative differences, now Warner Bros. has brought on newcomer Rick Famuyiwa to helm the Ezra Miller speedster flick.
The info comes from Deadline, which notes that WB feels Rick Famuyiwa’s vision will resonate better with younger viewers.
Rick Famuyiwa recently directed the Sundance pic Dope, about a young geek trying to survive in a tough Los Angeles neighborhood, and Confirmation, the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas HBO drama.
It’s noted WB is still using Seth Grahame-Smith’s version of The Flash script which is based on a treatment by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
The Flash has a March 16, 2018 release.
Ezra Miller recently had a cameo in Batman Vs. Superman and will be featured in Justice League and WB’s Fantastic Beasts.
We get a Justice League set video featuring Cyborg Ray Fisher and The Flash Ezra Miller as the two share a message of support for a campaign to oppose the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Watch the message below.
Justice League is currently filming in the UK.
“Justice League” has a November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Willem Dafoe in an unknown role.
Images revealing a close look at Ezra Miller as The Flash from Batman Vs. Superman have hit the net.
A user on reddit posted the pics.
The scene featured what is thought to have been either an alternate universe Flash or a Flash from the future (or both) reaching out to Bruce Wayne to warn and tell him to form the Justice League.
“Bruce! Listen to me now! It’s Lois! Lois Lane! She’s the key! Am I too soon?! I’m too soon! You were right about him! You’ve always been right about him! Fear him! Find us bruce! You have to find us!”
The Flash costume used in the scene seems to resemble The Flash from Injustice: Gods Among Us. Maybe Elseworlds, as well.
This also apparently won’t be The Flash costume in Justice League as Zack Snyder previously teased a look (see below).
“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” is directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter as Senator Finch and Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves.
Synopsis:
Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

For fans hoping one day the DC movie universe would cross over with the DC TV Universe — keep dreaming.
Gran Gustin is uber-popular right now starring on The CW’s Flash TV series.
Meanwhile, WB cast a different Barry Allen actor for their Justice League movie universe, Ezra Miller, who made his first two apperances recently in Batman Vs. Superman.
While Ezra Miller has previously mentioned parallel dimensions regarding the two Flash characters, and the Batman Vs. Superman Flash cameo hinted at multiple dimensions, producer Chares Roven says there is no connection at all.
“The Flash on the television show and the Flash in Batman v Superman don’t have anything to do with one another,” Roven told Coming Soon. “They don’t exist in the same time, place, universe or even dimension.”
Roven goes on to state it will be rather interesting to see the response to the two different Flash actors.
“Television is interesting. It’s going to be interesting to see if you can have two characters in two different mediums have the same name, have many of the same attributes and still coexist harmoniously because they’re from two different universes,” Roven said.
It also doesn’t appear as if Warner Bros. plans on having two characters exisit at the same time on TV and the movies ever again. WB already killed off Suicide Squad characters in Arrow, and most recently saw Zack Snyder kill off Jimmy Olsen in a post-release BVS interview (they didn’t even name the character in the movie); CBS’ Supergirl has their own Jimmy Olsen with Mehcad Brooks. It’s also known Batman and Superman don’t exist within the CW Arrow/Flash universe, and Superman has only been a blur on Supergirl. Regarding Gotham, Ben McKenzie and J.K. Simmons are probaby far apart enough in age where it won’t much matter much regarding Gordon.
Following Ezra Miller’s Flash (watch here) and Ray Fisher’s Cyborg (watch here) appearances in Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League, it’s learned the two will team up for The Flash standalone movie in 2018.
Batman Vs. Superman producer Deborah Miller told Forbes about the plan.
“As you can imagine, when we get to the Flash movie, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher – who plays Cyborg – are kind of our youngest characters, and they have a really nice camaraderie with each other,” Deborah Snyder offered. “Ezra is super funny, so the tone of that film will be very different than the rest of them.”
Justice League opens November 17, 2017; the standalone Cyborg movie is also due out in 2020.
The Funny or Die web site has some fun with the DCCU by remaking the Suicide Squad with a B-team of various movie characters and baddies.
New Flash Ezra Miller is also featured in a video playing an FBI Agent with “Where’s Waldo?”
Ezra Miller Flash Justice League Featurette
Ezra Miller appears as The Flash in this week’s Batman Vs. Superman followed by the Justice League movie, which films in a couple of weeks, and then in the 2018 Flash standalone movie.
Many fans are on the fence regarding the casting because of the popularity of Grant Gustin, the TV version of The Flash.
However, that may change as by most accounts Ezra Miller’s appearance in Batman Vs. Superman was an impressive debut (watch the spoiler cameo here).
Now photos of Ezra Miller have hit the net revealing the actor is taking his Flash role seriously, as Miller is getting in tip-top super hero shape to play the Justice League Scarlet Speedster.
While attending the Batman Vs. Superman premiere, Miller posted on his official Instagram account that he is getting “ripped” for the role.

Obvious SPOILERS follow for Batman Vs. Superman.
Note: It’s already been announced numerous times that Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher are going to appear in the movie, so that part is not a spoiler.
That said, now let’s discuss the Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg cameos.
Lex Luthor has a file on metahumans that contains info on Wonder Woman, The Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman. Bruce Wayne tries to steal it, but Diana Prince ends up stealing Batman’s device first; however, she can’t break the encryption, so she ends up giving it back to Bruce Wayne, who uses the Batcave computer to decrypt it. Diana Prince wanted the file because it contains an image of herself from 100 years ago (check out the pic here).
Bruce Wayne ends up giving the file to Diana who looks through it, and that’s where we get the second Flash cameo, Aquaman and Cyborg.
Aquaman
Jason Momoa’s Aquaman cameo wasn’t as good as The Flash or Cyborg. Actually, I wasn’t quite sure what was going on with it, other than the military(?) was investigating a possible downed ship. When the camera (drone?) came to the ship, Aquaman came out of the hole and used his Trident to destroy the camera-drone. Was more referenced in this scene? I may have missed it.
Cyborg
Cyborg’s was pretty wild. We didn’t get that football scene that Zack Snyder was said to have filmed way back in October. I believe Perry and Clark made reference to it a couple times. I’m guessing Ray Fisher may have been involved, but it looks to have gotten cut. Anyway, maybe it had nothing to do with Cyborg, but the scene showed half of Cyborg’s body up on a wall attached to equiment at Star Labs. Was that his father? Some guy was trying to revive him, but initially couldn’t(?). Then he used some sort of tech (Kryptonian?) that bonded to Cyborg and gave him his metal parts. Honestly, I thought it was a larger Tesseract from Avengers (lol). Cool scene. Update: The tech is confirmed as a Mother Box, and Joe Morton plays Silas Stone.
The Flash
Fans have been pretty much upset that Grant Gustin isn’t The Flash in the DCCU. Snyder said some BS about Gustin not fitting in in the Justice League universe. Okay, whatever. I felt Ezra Miller made an impressive debut. He actually had two cameos. He communicated to a sleeping Bruce Wayne that Bruce is right about him all along (Superman? we’re not sure). The Flash tells Bruce that Lois is the key; to watch out for her or something like that. This reminded me a lot of the Injustice: Gods Among Us video game: Lois dies and Superman goes bad. That was the feeling I was getting here.
Regarding The Flash costume (people are already going nuts on our Facebook), the costume was an armored version. I felt The Flash needed the armor to protect him from travelling where ever he was travelling to/from. I also thought maybe this Flash might have the armor to protect himself whenever he goes ultra-fast. The last episode of The Flash TV series saw Trajectory run too fast and disappear, maybe the Ezra Miller Flash was protecting himself from something similar. We also know this probably isn’t the final Flash costume as Zack Snyer teased a different version (at least I think as much).
The Flash Cameo #2
This is another part of the Diana Prince scene where she is watching the Lex file. It shows Barry in a convenient store buying some milk when the store gets robbed. Barry moves as quick as a flash and stops the robbery! What I thought was cool about the scene was that Barry seemed to move faster than the camera. Barry didn’t really “disappear” from camera #1 — he seemed to move too fast that it appeared as if he was in two places at once! Now that’s fast! Zoom who?!
What are your thoughts? Let is know in the comments below or on Facebook.

That didn’t take long.
The Ezra Miller Flash cameo for Batman Vs. Superman has leaked online as advanced screenings for the movie are now playing.
I’ll also say this, that Ezra Miller – what little of we saw of him – looked pretty good! Initially I was upset Grant Gustin wasn’t going to be in the DCCU, but Miller seems to be providing another good version of The Flash.
Bring on Justice League!
Update: Watch the Jason Momoa Aquaman cameo.

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.
I’ve said it once, and it’s worth saying again: If ever DC was looking for their Spider-Man, they’ve found it in the Grant Gustin Flash.
I also think it’s a colossal mistake by WB not to use Grant Gustin (and Stephen Amell’s Green Arrow) in the DC Cinematic Universe.
Obviously, Zack Snyder disagrees as he cast Ezra Miller in the role of Barry Allen for the DCCU, which hasn’t been well received by fans.
Now we hear exactly why Zack Snyder chose to go a different route, and it’s because he feels the Grant Gustin Flash is too different in tone than the Justice League movie universe.
“I just don’t think it was a good fit,” Snyder told the New York Daily News of bringing Grant Gustin’s Flash into the Justice League universe. “I’m very strict with this universe, and I just don’t see a version where…that (tone is) not our world.”
Snyder continues in what seems an attempt – or an excuse- to calm the masses (sorry, Zack; not working) by stating Grant Gustin’s Flash is part of the overall DC multiverse.
“Even if Grant Gustin is my favorite guy in the world and he’s very good, we made a commitment to the multi-verse (idea), so it’s just not a thing that’s possible.”
From Snyder’s comments, I guess we are supposed to take from that, that the Grant Gustin Flash is too light and too happy. Now we know we can expect a dark and depressing Ezra Miller, right?
Ezra Miller, you have some mighty fast boots to fill. Good luck.

The actors themselves previously confirmed appearances in Batman Vs. Superman, and now it’s again confirmed the Ezra Miller Flash and Ray Fisher Cyborg will be featured in the movie, leading into the Justice League film.
Entertainment Weekly reports: “Gal Gadot plays Wonder Woman, and she has a major supporing role in this movie, but there are other characters like Aquaman, The Flash, Cyborg who turn up in kind of smaller roles — more cameo-oriented. Now that was done as a way of setting up the fact that all of these characters exist in one shared universe.”
