It's weird to me that people are actually questioning the tactic behind The Flash's presence in TV and film. Seriously, Barry is not the only flash they have to choose from, why does anyone in their right mind think that The Flash TV show would be brought down by a film version of the character when there are at least two other Flashes to choose from (three if there's any chance in hell they'd use Jay)?
If they're gonna be weird enough about someone like Deadshot that they pull him from his most successful exposure in years, there's no way they're gonna let a movie interfere with the success of Barry's own show. They'll (logically) probably just use Wally or Bart instead. Consider; when producers of Arrow asked to use another DC hero as a potential pilot lead-in for season 2 of Arrow, they didn't ask to use "The Flash"... they asked for Barry Allen. And when they asked for Ted Kord (substantially less well-known by general audiences) they were like, "nah, we have seperate plans for that dude, but here's Ray Palmer instead"...
So now they want Will Smith to play Floyd in the movies, which kills (quite literally) the character's chance at staying in the Arrowverse. Clearly, they can't cancel a hugely successful show just for a shot-in-the-dark chance of the same character becoming a fan-favorite in the movie-verse. They're probably waiting to iron out the details between which character Snyder wants, and which character the show is more keen on introducing in season two.
