The All Things Flash Thread. - Part 2

Announced in 2014 when the DCEU hadn't even really started yet and now comes out in 2023 when the DCEU has been declared dead.

what was it

 

Spoiler

Wonder Woman and other Justice League members were still set to appear in the movie despite the news of the recast.

 

I heard they were cut

 

Spoiler

Their post credits scenes were, but not their earlier scenes in the film.

 

I saw somewhere (possibly on here) that

Spoiler

everything Cavill shot has been removed, following his recent firing

 

It's deleted now so this whole thing is probably moot.

 

What if they cancel all marketing for this and sell it to Netflix or stream it on hbo and maybe a limited cinema release

 

It's a $200 million film that likely isn't happening...

 

A $200+million movie thats testing extremely well no less. I'm sure Gunn and Safran would like it shelved but the financiers and investors would never allow it.

 

Or use it to justify the clean sweep?

 

What happens if it's a success and people want more of Keaton, DCE elements etc? Imagine If Disney pay off certain people to praise this movie and question the moving forward with Gunn, epic trolling.

This is my thinking - let the move turn a profit but in no way hype it as something that people will want more of - it' such a weird, DC moment right now.

They have all but announced a hard reboot, yet still have 3 movies potentially very profitable movies coming out along with the intriguing blue beetle.

What I would have done, being Gunn and co, I would have kept quiet about the DCEU and leave it as is - just not say a thing.

However, announce they are expanding the Reeves universe and showing us a superman that is on his earth that one day may cross paths.

That allows them to plan a reboot without saying it's a reboot - we see new Supes, a potential for a new WW, AM, Flash, Lobo all these other characters and assume that Batman is Pattison. In the mean time, plug the flash, aqua man, Shazam! 2 and once they are done, they can say, actually we like The batman in his own little bubble, let's just reboot and use the new superman movie as ground zero.

 

I am guessing they aren't going to spend a lot of money marketing the remaining DCEU SnyderVerse movies, so I don't know if this movie will do all that well in theaters.

 

That's my thinking - they are not going to invest much more in these movies - they'll be inventive for the marketing that's for sure.

However, would it really surprise me if they did reshoots along the way to add a definitive end to this world? Does it even need closure?

Maybe reshoot the ending Sopranos style.

 

Or go full-on JLD: Apokolips War!

 

My best bet - an animated movie on HBO.

 

Well the movie is called The Flash. It’s not supposed to be a Justice League sequel. Ezra Miller is a horrible person. I get it. That’s the biggest problem. But even if it were someone else this movie is ironically insulting to The Flash as a character and film franchise.

 

So first trailer almost exactly 4 months before release. Starting promotion as late as possible.

 

So they're gonna bury it.

 

Late and Expensive as hell...what do they think the movie will make?
Like on one hand they are holding off on the marketing incredible long, but then they pay for a Superbowl spot? Weird.

 

If they were going to bury it they wouldn't be putting out a superbowl ad.

 

Are we sure it's not they'll release the ad on YouTube during the Superbowl?

 

According to the article this will be the first time in 17 years that WB will put out a superbowl ad.
