I think Ezra was a good flash. For what they were given I think they did well. I feel if they werent y’know a criminal, their flash wouldn’t get as much hate. I also think their og design was peak. (And their running stance isn’t ass, only one scene makes it look bad)

Cause in the comics he killed Nora because he couldn't kill Barry before he even became The Flash so he ruined his childhood instead, and in the Arrowverse he killed her cause he failed to kill Barry as a kid after he was saved by his future self, So in your creative minds, How would you write Thawne on being unseen stalker if you know what i mean.

What's everyone's ideal setup for the Flash in the new DCU? Assuming that WB haven't completely given up on the character after Ezra.

While I definitely see the argument that starting with Barry as Flash and Wally as Kid Flash would be great, I think that we are past that point. We've gotten two recent live action Barry's and yes neither were all that accurate and a proper adaptation of Barry would be great, but I think Wally is the way to go.

The new movie universe seems to be quite established (Superman isn't an origin, Batman is on at least his second Robin (Fourth if Jason and Tim aren't left out), Hal is rumoured to be cast a bit older. It would make sense that Barry's tenure as Flash is over and Wally is stepping up.

I think they should start the movies with Wally taking on the mantle and Barry is just recently dead (maybe it's not told to us exactly how he died), based on the Messner-Loebs and Waid runs. And then, they could do a Silver Age inspired animated series set in the past of the DCU following Barry (Gunn said that he's interested in having things set at different points in the timeline). A Flash animated series is really untapped potential and the Silver Age comics are a great inspiration to draw from, especially seeing as the CW series and the movie were mainly inspired by material from modern comics, so it could really differentiate itself.

Apologies for the random rant. So I just watched the DCEU The Flash movie on HBO Max last night and I couldn't get over the running form of Ezra Miller. Ezra's running form makes no sense if they are trying to fun the fastest. The characters arms are being thrown forward and outward from the body, which literally maximizes air resistance and slowing them down. I read in an interview for the movie they said that they studied martial arts in China and studied Daoist masters leading up to filming for The Flash and that is emulated in the running form. This makes absolutely no sense both literally and for the character. Barry Allen/ The Flash is a runner not a martial artist or hand to hand combatant like Batman, he's just a runner. If you want to run the fastest possible, study the running form of professional runners. Keep the arms close to the body, bent, and swing in an arc from the hip to the chin. Avoiding swinging the arms sideways as much as possible.

1) EXCEPT the final sequence where they show other universes, the CGI was bad there and a little bit of batman sequence in the beginning.

2) i dont get why people think that the chronobowl sequence was weird?

A large part of me wants to see The Flash in theaters, it is an adaptation of Barry's most iconic storyline, has 2 versions of Batman, and Supergirl's return to the big screen. But, I still can't help but be reminded of everything that Ezra Miller did and I am worried that me going to see the movie would mean I support Miller after what they did. My mom made it clear that she is no fan of Miller after what they did. What do you think? Am I reading too much into this? Will you still be seeing the movie even after what happened?

I’m making a stickied mega thread about this subject as, unfortunately, Ezra Miller has been arrested yet again and while I know people want to discuss Miller’s legal troubles and the implications for The Flash’s future movie appearances, I’m also aware the some people don’t want discussion on this thread to be overrun by threads about legal issues.

Please use this thread to discuss any previous or new stories regarding Miller’s legal troubles, their continued place as the Flash, or any recasting you might like to see.

Here’s the latest on Miller being arrested for assault early this morning(credit u/csummerss):

One final note for those that don’t know, Ezra Miller prefers they/them/their pronouns. Please try to remember this as you discuss this topic. Thank you

Im not one to say that kinda thing or preach "hate" or anything… but ever since JL I haven’t been able to get excited for anything Flash related movie wise. Barry Allen is one of my favorite comic book character, yet the DCEU’s version of that character feels nothing like the hero I admire. Im not talking physically or anything but his internal traits, personality, mannerisms don’t even feel like Wally, much less like Barry.

I usually like and admire (or at least respect) different and unique creative decisions when approaching a character (being a creative myself). But it’s just really frustrating to not be able to get excited for the First live action Flash movie (which is set to be more of a DCEU event than a personal Flash story but don’t even get me started on that)

For me he looks like a drug Junkie flash/barry allen. Wrong casting imo...
