>Phil Lord & Chris Miller’s draft was an action-comedy Flash VS. Rogues story with Channing Tatum eyed for Captain Cold, but they dropped out to do SOLO.
>Seth Grahame-Smith’s draft was a revised version of the Lord/Miller draft with Rogues as ex-military, but he was fired for being too unexperienced.
>Rick Famuyiwa’s draft was an action thriller with Flash and Cyborg fighting Captain Cold and Golden Glider, and a subplot about Barry investigating the unlawful shooting of a black kid. Famuyiwa quit when Warner switched gears and demanded a lighter movie.
>Joby Harold’s draft was an adaptation of “Flashpoint” with DYEL Superman, Batdad, Aquaman VS. Wonder Woman, etc. that went through multiple rewrites following JL flopping and Ben Affleck deciding to quit being Batman.
>At different points it was a Flashpoint-themed Flash/Batman team-up to send off Affleck, a Flashpoint-themed Flash/Wonder Woman team-up, a Flashpoint-themed stealth Justice League sequel where Eobard Thawne changes History so they never come together and takes over the word, and Flash must assemble their alt-versions to fix the world.
>At some point it was even a murder mystery with Doctor Light as the main villain, Captain Cold and Heatwave as secondaries and Killer Frost somehow involved.
>Turned out by numerous directors like Ben Affleck, Robert Zemeckis, Sam Raimi, Marc Webb and Matthew Vaughn.
>Jon Daley & Jonathan Goldstein brought to rework Flashpoint as a fun 80's throwback before Warner switches gears again and decides go with a smaller scope.
>Daley & Goldstein deliver a well-received lighthearted Flash VS. Thawne story with the Rogues as secondaries, but Ezra Miller is determined to have his dark Flashpoint adaptation and recruits Grant Morrison to help write his own script where Barry and Jay Garrick have to stop Thawne from destroying the Multiverse by murdering all of its Flashes.
>Miller now planning to quit since WB didn’t take his script, will have to be recast.
