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.

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.

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.

TDKR isn't the core of Batman. They really haven't changed him that much in the past 20 odd years, imo, so that's not an excuse either.

MOS was barely there too.

No, I'm just tired of people saying the same thing. We have Ezra as Flash. Nothing is going to change that. Don't like it? Fine, but move on.

Its our right to voice how our opinion on it. Why weren't you defending fantastic four when the board was tearing those casting choices apart? Nevermind, we all know why

Flash(Barry) is my favorite DC hero and I see it as kind of a slap in the face that they would just hand off the role so unnecessarily early instead of holding auditions. Whatever. Looks like Gustin may give us the most accurate portrayal of Barry we may see.

I was somewhat defending FF. I've stated numerous times that I think the film is going to be good. Don't be a moron and actually read my posts.

Think for a second. WB usually has been hitting it out of the park in terms of casting, despite what the naysayers say. They wouldn't just hand out a role like this unless they think Ezra would do a good job. They wanted someone with charisma and good acting chops. Ezra fills that bill.

Also, Zack himself wanted Ezra. It's his movie and he knows where he wants to take the Flash.

Usually knocking it out of the park? You're talking out of your ass. We're at a grand total of ONE film into this movie universe. Which movies have you seen that gives WB such a stellar track record? They have everything to prove and have not earned the benefit of the doubt yet.

Also you saying you're looking forward to fantastic four is not the same as the shit you're doing now. I adressed casting specifically. Nice try though.

Yes, with 2 movies on there way. Casting has been solid thus far for the exception of WW.

I don't like the Lex Luthor decision much either. If a young Jesse Eisenberg Lex works well in the movie, it'll be great. I feel like they missed the opportunity to have a badass Bryan Cranston type Lex.

Bryan would have been great, but he's too old. They're aiming for a young lex.

Originally posted by Golgo13

Middle-aged or same age as Clark Kent is perfect for Lex IMO. Having Lex be a young 20 something feels stupid on the surface, especially if he's played with Eisenberg's signature style.

^ Eisenberg and Caville are about the same age.

No you're just being overly defensive. I've not even said anything bad about this film or the casting (although I am worried they've brought in a comedy duo to do it).

But what I said was "I don't really need it" since they're giving us such a great Live action Flash weekly.

Not sure how it's "clear" at all TBH.

That said I think he is a horrible casting choice.

People are jumping the gun here. Way to early. Phil Lord and Miller are still developing the script.

My comic book nerdness actually does need a good live action Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and yes Justice League.

With Flash I'm looking forward to getting him in a JL movie, interacting with Batman and Superman and with big budget special effects portraying his powers. But in terms of his solo adventures I'm more than happy with the CW series. I mean they've given us Gorilla Grodd! How cool was that?

Haven't been paying attention to Flash, because of school. I hear Grodd was good, though. He doesn't look cheap.

I really like Lord/Miller so I'm sure that I'll like the script. I'm just not sure how I feel about having two Barry's being promoted - I'd rather have Wally TBH.

You can't judge the casting until you see their performances man.

People didn't like the idea of Robert Downey being Tony Stark, but once everyone saw his performance we saw what genius casting it was. Similarly Ryan Reynolds seemed like decent casting for GL, but it turned out he wasn't really the best casting choice for that role at all (too much of the Reynolds funny man routine in an unfunny script).

I will say though Henry Caville was good casting. But again I can only say that after seeing him perform in the role.

Downey was great casting. I don't know why people were complaining. Same with Hugh Jackman. When I look at those people, I can see their character. That's all I'm going on, not performance. Same with Margot Robbie and Ben Afleck.

There's a difference between big names with talent and great casting. E.g. George Clooney as Batman.

I don't think it was Clooneys fault, but more of the direction and director. It's not always the actors fault and at times the actor can phone it in, even though he could have done a better job.

Well you can't completely blame the director, because Val Kilmer was a much better Batman under the same director.

Sometimes big names with talent just don't suit a particular role, or simply don't "get" the role they're playing.

That's why genius casting can only be determined by the performance an actor gives in that particular role. Hence it being worrying that Ezra Miller didn't audition (I don't know that for sure, just repeating what someone else said on this thread).

That is true, but what if Clooney just phoned it in? Actors do it all the time. Deniro for example can pretty much do anything, but lacks the effort at times.

Warner Brothers is to blame (yes, ad nauseum but it's true) for Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. They instructed Joel Schumacher to make those movies as campy as possible to sell more toys. He later apologized for making Batman & Robin on the movie's video commentary.

Clooney did suck as Batman and Kilmer was a lot better, but I wouldn't blame him for phoning it in when WB was only interested in advertising toys. Batman & Robin was a special case of bad and it didn't allow any actor or actress to display their talents.

That's what I'm kinda saying, though. Sometimes it's not the actors fault. If Clooney had free reign to do what he wanted, he could have been better. Haven't seen the movies in a while, so I'll take your word for it.

Forget Clooney, what about Killmer! Love that guy. Great actor.

Unfortunately, it seems Lord and Miller won't be directing this as they have been officially announced to be the directors of a Han Solo spin off film set to be released in 2018. Great news for SW fans though!

Hopefully, they can get someone like Edgar Wright to fill in.

**** why do a Han Solo movie, do something else. The Star Wars universe is so damn rich.

Because Han Solo is a great character who is very popular. Plus it will allow them to explore the SW underworld. Something which has a ton of potential and will be "new" for most viewers.

It was never official that they were directing. They are developing the story, though.

So is Kenobi. So is Yoda. If they're giving Han Solo is own movie, then they should get around to these 2 as well. Since clearly they're not interested in giving us something completely new and fresh.

Good.

We've never had a SW film about the Underworld. We've had 5 about the Jedi...
A Han Solo film will be very "new and fresh" for the GA.

We've had 3 films with Han Solo. And the whole Jabba part of ROTJ was exploring the underworld.

So would a Darth Maul film


In fact so would a Yoda film. Jedi are not all exactly the same. Yoda's certainly a very different Jedi to Luke Skywalker.

I kind of don't want to see another actor assume Harrison Ford's iconic Han Solo role though. Sure make a Star Wars movie about the crime rife underbelly or whatever, just do so with new characters. Or even harken back to kotor and do a crime film around Carth Onassi. There are so many other options is all

We've had 4 films about Kenobi and 5 about Yoda then.

My point was a film about the SW underworld and how smugglers operate would be very unique whereas a film about a Jedi is something we've seen many times.

And yes, I'd be up for a Yoda film if it explores a new era.

That type of film can easily be done with new characters. And the movie wouldn't need a character like Han Solo to sell itself as Star Wars is a big enough name.

I can definitely understand not wanting to see a recast Han Solo. It's my biggest worry.

Chris Pratt could play Han, Chewbacca AND Leia, and it would be amazing.

That said, I don't know why they'd make a Han Solo film where Han Solo most definitely doesn't resemble Harrison Ford.

They might take a page out of Terminator. Where they decided Kyle Reese doesn't need to look or act like the original.

As funny as Chris Pratt is, he's just not the right guy.

He'd be better for the Indiana Jones replacement when it happen's.

I thought they're looking for a young Han Solo. As in Pre-OT. If that's the case Chris Pratt would be too old anyway.

Although it would be nice if they got the same actor to play Indiana Jones and Han Solo again.

Chris Pratt is already playing a Han Solo type in Peter Quill.

If this is prequel fare, then they need someone to play Han in his mid 20's, not 30's.

Well, Seth Grahame Smith is the latest director to exit this film, following Phil Lord & Chris Miller.

http://comicbook.com/2016/04/29/director-seth-grahame-smith-exits-the-flash-movie/

On the upside, everything this guy has done for the big screen has sucked anyway.

he prolly wanted to add in zombies and vampires lmao

He did write the Lego Batman movie, That one looks good.

Is there currently a director? Didn't the next one they hire walk as well?

DC movies are loosing directors a lot it seems.

For me it sounds like they keep bringing in directors that come in, have great ideas, and then are told by the studio that they want a movie made with massive oversight, essentially making movies by committee, and these directors are going "nope, no thanks" and walking.
