It's actually a miracle it didn't turn out far worse considering how many cooks were in this kitchen.

Here's hoping we find out about about plans for a reboot in the DCU sooner rather than later. Barry, wally, and Jay should all be present.

The movie we actually got probably would have been better off being called Flashpoint.

Out of all the versions, I think I would've liked to have seen Famuyiwa's the most. Not only would we have gotten Snart, tackling corruption within the CCPD would've been ballsy.

Absolutely not. Absolutely dumb. Absolutely stupid.

You got a guy that can run faster than the speed of light, and sound. Why the FUKC would you give a fukc about police fukcing corruption at that point? How low-scale and boring and uncreative and un-interesting can you be?

The Flash? With a police corruption story?

Are you fukcing serious?

A Rogues heist movie would be fun if done right. It's basically Ocean's 11 with superpowers.

They were never not going to make a Flashpoint movie because that’s the only thing WB’s been interested in since Johns revived Barry, as if that’s the only Flash story to tell.

Imagine if they delayed Flash till after they were done with the existing DCEU projects, and ended it with a definitive reset event. The Flash is the embodiment of all the mess WB/DC has put itself through since 2012/2013.

Oh well. Bring on Superman: Legacy and a fair deal for writers and actors.

"Warner Bros. apparently didn't like the dark nature of Famuyiwa's script as it echoed a period of political unrest in the real world surrounding police brutality. Famuyiwa refused. to change his script and departed due to creative differences."

So sad for WB, it used to be a time where they weren't afraid of taking risks, Famuyiwa had a vision and it would've been interesting to see it, so many projects with lots of potential being shut down by WB's own incompetence.

@Arthorious - It's always important to remember the carousel of screw ups that WB can have in just one project.

Given the details we have , the Joby Harold version sounds the best to me…

Second being Famiyuwa’s.

Who's "they"?
edj999
edj999 - 7/24/2023, 5:56 PM
@MadThanos - Not sure if this is a sincere question but I believe the writers were talking about Ezra Miller who is not quite a boy, not quite a girl, not quite sure what he is. Maybe you can call it "it"? Don't really know what their profession is, they are not an actor, they are not an actress, are they acting person?
MadThanos
MadThanos - 7/25/2023, 7:39 AM
@edj999 - it was a sincere question. Thanks!

I still this Ezra guy is straight and the public persona is just a character.

What's sort of sad is that Rick Famuyiwa's version sounds like it might have satisfied fans and the bean counters.

I’m not sorry some of these directors left this hell of a project. As a result we’ve gotten 2 Amazing Spider-Verse movies and a good Dungeons and Dragons movie. The cost was Flash and maybe the DCEU at large. A fair trade.

I'm starting to think that the reason why Daley and Goldstein still kept those story credits is because Hodson didn't change the aspect of how Barry is learning his abilities and has a dysfunctional life, but applied it with the younger 18 year old Barry after Flash time travels so he saves his mom. That's my hunch and Ezra didn't like that his Barry was going to be depicted as that much fun and light-hearted. He wanted to play a much "seasoned" Barry that didn't need to be shown the ropes.

The treatment that Grahame-Smith did was straying too much from the source material while Famuyiwa's and Harold's sounded like the best ones.

The Joby Harold version sounds closest to what a Flash movie should be!! If only we could've got that with a different actor playing Barry? 😞

The Flash movie was doomed the moment Zack Snyder was allowed to cast the character.
Dredd97
Dredd97 - 7/25/2023, 1:12 AM
the Ezra casting was bad from the jump, but only a couple of these sound decent anyway. Rick Famuyiwa's sounds the best by far with Joby Harold's a close second. shame we don't know what Grant Morrison's was like because they're so [frick]ing good, I can't imagine that was a script not worth going with
