Ezra Miller IS the Flash

[Uroboric Forms]

Not bad. I always thought he would be great as Nightwing, though

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I get a good laugh out of people on twitter acting as though a big screen film was written into Grant Gustin's contract and now he's being horribly robbed of the role (for a film that won't come out for 4 years, mind you) and are getting all huffy about it.

Fanboys and girls: Take. A F***ing. Breath.

I really enjoy the show and Gustin's performance but I never expected him to be big screen Flash because the movie and TV universes are not connected. Duh.

 

[SuperAl]

not really familiar with the guy. just looking at random pictures he definitely has a wide variety of looks so i dont buy the fact that he'll be emo just cause hes played a lot of those roles.

 

[Cain]

I need some variety in my heroes though! All these brunettes/ravens, wheres the color?

I hear you but that's up to the big wigs at WB & DC and they've clearly made up their minds. The same way Wally West is no longer a ginger in the comics even though there are plenty of black gingers in this world. You just have to learn to accept it or just tune out. I just hope they give Jason Momoa some blonde highlights at least.

This is what gets me. They've been saying that for how long now? and people still can't get a grip around it? I swear people just like to complain for the sake of complaining. This is why I don't even admit that I read comic books to most people. Nothing worse than fanboys especially when they live up to the irrational stereotypes like a walking parody. They make me so embarrassed to be associated with them just because we happen to simply share some common interests.

He's better then Gal is for WW since word is he's a good actor but I've seen him in one film.

I'm willing to give him a shot but Aaron Paul would have been better.

Just let it go, I could say several actors are better choices than Paul, insisting like you do when you know nothing about the casting process or what goes behind the scenes is just shallow. They're casting good actors so far, the only question mark acting wise is Gal Gadot because she doesn't have much experience, but she's been cast in a couple of movies with great actors, which means she must be decent at least:

Triple Nine (2015):

Kate Winslet
Norman Reedus
Aaron Paul
Teresa Palmer
Gal Gadot
Woody Harrelson
Casey Affleck
Anthony Mackie
Chiwetel Ejiofor

Criminal:

Ryan Reynolds
Gal Gadot
Alice Eve
Kevin Costner
Gary Oldman
Tommy Lee Jones

As always, time will tell.

People just didn't want to believe it I guess.

 

[childeroland]

Hes a superb actor. Catch him in we need to talk about kevin and perks of being a wallfloeer.

 

[Mikelus]

I'm sure half the people here have an alter ego over at CBM.

It's just too much fun.

Not me, what about you?

Ezra Miller is great in Perks of Being a Wallflower (very good movie too); pulling off charm, energy and dramatic weight.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Miller seemed like such an indie guy, I'm a tad surprised that he was interested in playing in a blockbuster.

 

[Cain]

What's funnier is that it's coming from a lot of the same clowns who always complained that WB didn't exploit any other DC superhero properties outside of the World's Finest when it came to live action and media. Now that they're doing just that it's still a problem?

Thank the stars if you're a Flash fan that you're going to get both a show and a movie series with their own distinctive takes on the character's mythology. That **** is pretty unprecedented for a superhero that the general public is still very green about in terms of awareness. Let alone the really iconic ones like Batman or Spider-Man.

Matter of fact it's happening to raise further awareness of the character & thusly give him more relevance in the general public consciousness which is never a bad thing. This is are the type of moves that will help The Flash finally becoming as big as a Batman or Superman in pop culture. Not limiting the audiences that you could expose the IP too.

How can they not see the good in that? it's going to lead to more Flash media like video games and even an animated series.

Exactly, it's a good thing that the character is getting much exposer.

Same thing happened with the 'Welling for Superman' people. Man Of Steel wasn't a movie spin off of Smallville but a completely new Superman continuity to kick off a DC Cinematic universe so Welling would not of made sense.

 

[vantheman77]

Do we really need two Barry Allens, one for TV and one for movies? I hope it's either Wally West or Bart Allen on the big screen for Ezra Miller. Comic fans may go for it, but casual fans will likely be confused.

 

[Dark Raven]

Who the heck is Ezra Miller? Never heard of him.

 

[Cain]

Then they still ended up getting some fresh Welling Superman stories anyway and in the best media for superhero stories to boot: the comic book medium since it has no budget and the imagination isn't as limited.


These cats act like Iron Man for example was always one of Marvel's top 2 big dogs. They conveniently forget that he was a c list character for the majority of his existence until the movie helped catapult him into a different category. Simply because it reached a much greater audience than the comic book does alone.

You'd figure these people would learn to get a grip and understand that there will always be more than one version of these heroes to appeal to different audiences. What's more important is that they end up reaching different types of audiences and expanding the awareness of the IP.

Multiple versions of these characters will always exist that's how they endure for countless generations. I didn't see any of these same twits complaining that there were 2 TV shows with their own take on Sherlock Holmes out at the same time as the recent movies. If anything it expanded the reach of Sherlock and made new generations of fans for the property.

Hell it's something that is always prevalent in comic books too. Right now in the comic books alone I'm regularly following the mainstream Batman (JL), Adam West Batman (Batman '66) and both Batmen of the New 52's Earth 2 (Earth 2 and Worlds' Finest) every month. As a Batman fan the variety is amazing to me and the fact that they all appeal to different people makes it even sweeter. More Batman fans in the end even if some Batman fans like me give them all a chance as well.

So I don't see how so called fanboys overthink this type of stuff when there has been so much precedent for it in genre fare for the longest time.

 

[Masone]

My same reaction.

No they won't. It's usually comic book fans ironically that complain about stuff like this. Which is even funnier since a fundamental of comic book storytelling is alternate interpretations of the same characters co-existing with each other. Casual fans aren't the mouth breathing morons that comic book forums like to paint them as. If something is good they roll with it and if it doesn't resonate they reject it.

They get that there have been multiple James Bonds and Batmen and all that jazz. They have understood that longer than most comic book fans actually is what it seems like. These people once got 2 different James Bond movies months apart from each other and both movies still made money.

Superman Returns didn't underperform because it came out when Smallville was still on the air for example. It underperformed because it failed to connect with most of the general public on a greater level. Smallville on the other hand had more appeal and thusly lasted 5 more years after SR came and went. That still didn't keep people away from checking out MOS a month after Smallville came to an end. Including many people who loyally watched Smallville.

Really? Because I'm thinking casual fans won't care much one way or the other, and comic fans will b**** ENDLESSLY about it.

Because God knows it's not a shared universe if you aren't doing it the Marvel way.

 

[Cain]

Because God knows it's not a shared universe if you aren't doing it the Marvel way.

If it's not the Marvel Studios way then it won't be successful because remember there definitely wasn't a point in time where the Marvel Studios method was an unproven risk. No siree bob.

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

how's levi doing ?

 

[KillerWolf]

I was hoping he'd be Dick Grayson but I like this casting.

Indeed. He'd be perfect for Nightwing.

Strange choice for sure, both age and look-wise, but can't really say anything as I'm not familiar with the guys work.

Is he any good? Can someone recommend a good movie with him, if is there any?

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

I've always thought he was more of a robin, but I won't complain. he's a really good actor.

 

[Airwings]

Some people wanted Ezra for Nightwing. While I understand their thinking very well, I always thought he suited Jason Todd better.

But what makes me really happy is that we WON'T GET AARON PAUL!!!!!

I've been mentioning for a while that all of them have dark hair. I really hope they will change this up. Is it intentional?

It's a strange coincidence. Maybe they want JL to be dark

That's literally impossible. When you go from fanboy casting dreams of the likes of Phoenix, Washington, Di Caprio, etc. and you get Jesse, that's really low.

Going from Aaron Paul to Ezra Miller though can probably only be an improvement.

Agree on both!!! Eisenberg was such a let down.
