        Yeah, but the movie's a flop because people don't want to give Ezra money.

        I'll see it one day, but I'll wait 5 to 20 years just so that by time I see it, it won't matter anymore. Right now, Ezra's future is dependent on how well this movie does, and I want to see the Bad End.

        Anon, did you even actually watch the movie it was fricking trash. While yes Ezra as Older Barry was decent it was still a bad portrayal, and his young Barry was annoying as frick and much like older Barry I wanted to punch every time he was fricking on screen. Supergirl was just there for Barry to lust after and bringing Keaton Back for Nostalgia to only just keep killing him was the dumbest decision almost as bad as casting Kevin Conroy as an Evil Bruce.

        That’s not even mentioning how bad the effects were and every action sequence was mediocre as frick

        Eh, it's fun, really fun capeshit, but it's not GOOOOOOD, it's mid. Better capeshit than most of the generic MCU movies, but if CGI was already an issue on those...
        At the end of the day, people simply aren't looking to watch something with Ezra in it. And this movie comes at the tail end of the DCEU, which normies constantly think it's a dumpster fire.
        It could've made money if they released it 5-6 years ago when they intended to do it.

            I thought RDJ was just a typical Hollywood coke addict that self destructed the normal ol way in coke parties, hookers and booze until he shit his career away for about 20 years. But he also kind of cleaned himself up for his MCU roles.

            Ezra was more of a weird doe-eyed awkward guy that for some reason decided to shit away any kind of good will he ever had in his favor by going on a year and a half long psychedelic bender and then tried to deflect it all by calling himself trans as if that removes all criticism of one's actions. This was mid production and while Warner was trying to promote his solo movie at the same time.

          In RDJ case, he had made his mistakes decades earlier, and that year was gonna be his big comeback year with him taking starring roles in two major movies (Iron Man and Tropic Thunder). Ezra was fricking shit up in the time this movie was in production. Supporting the movie was basically supporting his crimes

          RDJ actually served time in prison after conviction and while waiting for trial. It's not the same thing at all - he's literally done his time. When he got out and he started to slip back into drinking and misbehaving he saw that he had problems and went to rehab, and that was almost a decade before Iron Man. He literally paid his dues and everybody saw it. He took roles in low-budget movies that nobody expected to go anywhere, and he certainly never expected the MCU to take off. Nobody did, or they wouldn't have given him that pay deal. His movies post-prison couldn't even get completion bonds until Mel Gibson, another alcoholic, decided to start paying them.

          Miller just got cast in what would be a million-dollar payday for him regardless of quality and went off the rails as a result. If he's in any way comparable to RDJ then it's circa 1996, years before prison. We are not at the stage of forgiving Miller now and if he doesn't actually face up to his criminal behavior we never will be. They are not the same.

      It's weird how that happened. He was always a street level hero that mostly fought normal guys with goofy gadgets until the late 00s where all of a sudden he became some kind of god of speed that created matter out of pure speed and all his villains had to be speedsters too.

        That was Johns doing. He turned Flash into some living avatar of the speed force that had total control over all speed, and everyone else's speed too slowing people down or stealing speed from people, making red constructs out of pure speed, and plucking people out of the timestream with just speed. his villains had to be speedsters or else it would always be a one sided fight.

        He did the same shit with Hawkman, turning him into reincarnation man who's main power is reincarnating and remembering everything from past incarnations so he is now a priest, pilot, wizard, every type of warrior and martial artist, scientist, and barbarian at the same time.

        In Green Lantern he upgraded Sinestro from wacky mustache twirler nyahahaha guy to cosmic tier master of one of the most powerful armies in the universe, agent of the antimonitor that cannot really be permanently defeated.

    Okay there is just no fricking way they didn't see this one coming. We are WAAAAAYYYYY past the point of '89 era Bat nostalgia saving a single damn thing. It could have worked wonders in 2005 or so when 80s nostalgia was fricking huge and new and novel and the 80s remakes were just getting started.

    But a movie about a weird awkward guy that doesn't fit the character of every single Flash that has ever existed in a Bat multiverse flick after superhero media had overdone the damn multiverse thing for about 3 years now. In a special shared universe that not many are still remotely interested in, after two other miserable failures a few months before it so audiences are not hopeful that maybe THIS time it's different. They said that twice already this year.

    It's a big mixed bad of shit no one wants to see any more.
