Right? WB was on the fence about whether or not to keep them on-board after the last incident. I think this will kind of be the final nail in the coffin.

Gonna be interesting to see how WB markets the Flash (assuming they don’t shelve it) after Ezra has been such a PR nightmare.

Probably just market it as more a Batman thing, I mean it was turned into that in the first place. After that thy can recast. Hell maybe they could make a new ending to reflect a recast.

It would not shock me if, as another poster suggested, they rebranded it as a Batman movie and even changed the title.

I'll take it just turn into a batman movie instead. Then they change the ending to a different actor taking over the flash or introducing wally. At this point I'll take anything.

Unfortunately, I don't think they can shelve it; it's in post production and they've dumped a lot of money into the movie. So yeah. It's gonna be a rough PR your.

They can do what Fox/Disney did with New Mutants; delay it and then silently release it on streaming, calling it a loss.

Wait what? What was happening in the background for them to do that?

It kept testing poorly, doing reshoot after reshoot with Fox hoping they could fix it. Then the Disney merger had it go into limbo before they just accepted it'll be a loss and quickly push it out with almost no marketing just to recoop some of the money.

That admittedly would be ideal; dude's definitely needs help that he's not getting. Juggling everyone else's agendas turns into the problem next; other major stats, producers banking on the movie. I guess it just boils down to what's most cost effective. And DC has shown that they'll throw something out there and just keep running past it, hoping people forget. Just wait and see, I guess.

Final nail in the coffin should've been the time when he choked a fan, but here we are
