Oh joy. Social media folk are picking apart Snyder's reasoning for not using Gustin's Flash.

Maybe that's the 10th he has eaten after that constant running.
I always thought the Flash movie should have gone in one of two directions to not only break away from the more 'vanilla' take on tv (which is fine for tv, perfect even, since there wasn't any other superhero show on the air), but also to stand out from other cbms.
1) A wackier and crazier approach. Sorta like The Lego Movie of superhero movies.
Or 2) The Fant4stic approach. A more grounded 'hard sci-fi' take on the mythology mixed with an indie flavor when it comes to the character stuff.
Snyder's comments have me thinking it might be the latter, but we'll see.
Makes sense yo I agree. But please leave Fant4stic away!... It's also scripted by Phil Lord and Chris Miller so thats not going to be a sci fi indie take
Only Wally West is the more quippy, *****e bag Flash and since they're using Barry, (Who is more serious and straightforward) I expect more of a sci-fi take on the material but still a bit more light-hearted. Basically a tone similar to the Sam Raimi Spider-Man.
I'm down for that.I dunno, from some of Terrio's and Miller's comments, I sort of think they might take a less Saturday morning cartoon approach and position Flash as the science superhero.
My guess is if the tv show is more like Raimi (silver age sensabilities, traditional drama), the movie will be Webb (more modern or 'millenial' sensabilities, more candid 'realistic' character work, etc).
Or if the tv show is Story, the movie will be more Trank.
And Barry may not be a comedian, but his nerdiness and optimism means he usually says a lot of stuff the audience can laugh at.
And btw, Miller and Lord are no longer on board with the project.
Just from watching trailers for BvS and Suicide Squad, I don't think the rest of the movies in this universe will try the Fant4stic approach.I always thought the Flash movie should have gone in one of two directions to not only break away from the more 'vanilla' take on tv (which is fine for tv, perfect even, since there wasn't any other superhero show on the air), but also to stand out from other cbms.
