AWESOME! Not 100% confirmed, but I like this.

We’re trying to break a story. It’s interesting, because there’s a really popular TV show out there, and we’re trying to carve out space for the movie that’s apart from that. I think we’re doing alright. … I believe [our Flash] is going to be Barry Allen. … It’s going to be it’s own [thing, apart from the TV show] — we’re more trying to stick with the cinematic universe… it really is its own thing, and kind of a stand-alone movie. We’re just trying to think of the best story. I think you guys will like it, it’s kind of a different take on superhero stuff.

I really dont like the casting of that kid as Barry. I think i might hate it more than the fantastic four casting

Don't really need this when we have the CW series. But am looking forward to him being in Justice League.

I just don't understand how you offer someone a role like Barry allen with no auditions for a movie thats 3-4 years away.

do you think that kid should be wally instead?

Out of the two Hell yes Gustin should be Barry instead

I don't think it will make a difference. Because it will likely be it's own thing with hardly any connection to the comics. Barry Allen is just a name they're using.

Luckily the Tv show is doing a superb job of giving us Flash. So don't really need this. Just need him in the Justice League... With his mask on all the time, so I can pretend it's Gustin under that mask.

Smh in this age of CBMs I thought it was safe to expect more

A JLA without the Flash would be stupid, IMO. Flash has pretty much always been in the major JL rosters. And stop with the "should have used the CW actor". They're not connected, so let's stop beating a dead horse.

I'm sad to say I'm not surprised.

Who said it won't have anything to do with the comics?

Why should we expect it would be?

MOS, BVS and Suicide Squad, while certainly inspired by the comics, have hinted if not straight up shown that it's a somewhat loose inspiration at best.

Yeah, but he said hardly. The script isn't even out yet. Snyder has even stated that BVS is inspired by Frank Miller's TDK.

I don't even want a direct copy of the book, but I'm sure Flash will be somewhat close to the comics. When Phil lord said different, I think he meant different than the TV show.

Saying it's inspired by a short elseworlds that's almost 30 years old isn't the same thing as being based on the comics as they are today, imo.

That Batman isn't the same Batman we've been reading for said 30 odd years. So to me, that's a loose/hardly an association, if at all.

If Flash is based more on the comics, great. I'm just not expecting it to, given the DCCU's attitude towards them so far.

Its clear to me they're just gonna have the miller kid do his own hipster version of Flash and just slap "Barry Allen" on there. I mean....the guy didn't even audition 😐

They keep changing Batman, though. As long as the core is still there, I'm all good. MOS had the core of Superman there and that's all I need. Snyder likes to stick with the source material, so I'm not too worried.

The kid has a lot of talent, IMO. Similar to Miles Teller.

I didn't say they should be (well I haven't said that in the last 6 months or so anyway).

You're awfully defensive over everything WB is doing with the DCCU.

For most of us they have to prove themselves before we start trusting every decision they're making, and not the other way around.
