It is known the current directors of The Flash, John Goldstein and John Daley, wrote a light, fun script that Warner is very happy with, but Ezra Miller wanted a darker story and wrote his own script with Grant Morrison. Rumor has it Warner passed on it and now Miller is going to drop out of the movie. Some rumored plot details for both scripts have been floating around, which sounds better?
Goldstein/Daley script >Barry meets Eobard Thawne and they actually become friends and fight the Rogues together. >Thawne is a time traveler who went back in time to learn from the Flash, but ended up arriving earlier than intended. >Movie explores how Thawne went from Barry's admirer to his greatest enemy in real time instead of leaving it as backstory like the other pitches. >The Rogues' tech comes from the future as well and enhances their bodies instead of being just guns.
Miller/Morrison >Barry tries to save his dead mom through time travel and accidentally frees Thawne from the Speed Force. >Barry has to team up with Jay Garrick to stop Thawne from killing Flashes across the Multiverse to destroy the Speed Force or something like that. >Lots of alt-Flashes featured, leading up to a big battle between Thawne and an army Flashes. >In the end Barry realizes he has to let Thawne kill his mom so he's defeated in the future.
From the sound of things, the directors' script is safer and easier to follow, while Miller's is an overtly ambitious deep dive into mindbending time travel/parallel universions from the comics.
Miller's one sounds like the third act of a trilogy. Making Flash go up against such a threat in the first one would make everything else seem lame.
Nathan Stewart
If this was pitched before Into the Spider-Verse, WB would’ve definitely said no. But since this is after that movie, they’re either very stubborn/dumb or scared people would accuse the Miller/Morrison script as a rip off of Into the Spider-Verse
Grayson Rodriguez
>Miller's is an overtly ambitious deep dive into mindbending time travel/parallel universions from the comics. Someone posted a summary here already. It's just really basic comic book bullshit. It's a kind of by the numbers save the multiverse story. Morrison really held himself back.
Anthony Nelson
I really liked him as the idiot in Game Night. But I’ve never seen him in a serious role, maybe he’s so good that he can work with any script. But I’m not sure if he could play Thawne
Carson Clark
If the rumors about a new separate DCEU are true, there's no reason for WB to not use Flashpoint to merge both universes.
Jace Taylor
It would 100% be the smartest thing DC ever could do.
as long as they do Eobard right I'm happy. I'm shallow like that
Nicholas Jones
Watch "Maniac". He can pull it off.
Jace Smith
I like Jay Garrick but the first seems better.
Nicholas Collins
His forehead looks high enough. That's a plus.

I like theses.
>>The Rogues' tech comes from the future as well and enhances their bodies instead of being just guns.
I wouldn't mind this THAT much. I hope the technology still leaves them to be relatively normal. Like, I'd be fine if Captain Cold would just have a resistance to cold.
Jackson Gutierrez
That's where I'm standing. Weather its Eobard, Grodd or the Rouges I just want them done well
Thomas Brooks
The only reason I can't see them recasting Miller is because the wokecrowd would have WB's heads on a stick for firing "OMG the 1st LGBT superhero actor!!" without him getting his movie I can already see the rage tweets
Sebastian Bailey
he gives blowjobs in Get Shorty
Angel Sullivan
>which sounds better? Neither, but a mash up sounds good
>young Eobard goes back in time to learn from Flash >they fight Rogues and other baddies, but are eluded by a mysterious speedster until the end >finale of film is the reveal that future Eobard is the villain they just defeated, sending young Eobard off in a fury to start the time loop

>Like, I'd be fine if Captain Cold would just have a resistance to cold. That would just be Mr. Freeze
Jaxson Rodriguez
Into the Spider-Verse didn't invent movies about parallel realities.
Gavin Fisher
BUT MUH MARVEL!!!!
Connor Cox
I thought they cancelled the DCEU? Does anyone actually know what movies are coming out? Didn't they throw The Batman in the trash?
>I thought they cancelled the DCEU? They kinda' did.
>Does anyone actually know what movies are coming out? 100% certain? Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman 2, Suicide Squad 2, The Batman, Aquaman 2, Shazam 2 and Black Adam.
Then you have The Flash, Green Lantern Corps, Supergirl, New Gods, The Trench, Shazam VS. Black Adam, Plastic Man and Blue Beetle in the pipeline.
>Didn't they throw The Batman in the trash? Affleck left, but Batman fights on.
Grayson Nguyen
>and enhances their bodies instead of being just guns FUCK. THAT. NOISE.
Jose Wood
>My name is Barry Allen, and I'm the fastest dilator alive.
Jacob Russell
But now people think it was a Marvel idea. Again, thats happen when you are stuck with Superman and Batman for decades and you give no fucks about other potential characters
>>>The Rogues' tech comes from the future as well and enhances their bodies instead of being just guns.
>I wouldn't mind this THAT much. I hope the technology still leaves them to be relatively normal. Like, I'd be fine if Captain Cold would just have a resistance to cold.
they would just be the new 52 versions of the rogues, where the did just have their weapons absorbed into their body
Thomas Reyes
IMO, it's easy for men to get praised for genderbending/being feminine when they already have masculine features to begin with.
Ezra Miller's got a Chad jawline, and he's in shape. He can wear a lipstick and a dress, and girls will go "OMG, it's so sexy when a man isn't afraid to be girly!"
Now picture some skinnyfat dude with gynecomastia, a round, feminine face, and chunky thighs doing the trying to do the same thing. Nobody would find this "cool" or "attractive."
David Bowie? Prince? Young Boy George? They have license to "challenge gender roles" because there is no question of their masculinity to begin with.
Gabriel Cooper
>The Rogues' tech comes from the future as well and enhances their bodies instead of being just guns. pass
Cameron Martin
He’s not a chad, he has a meth addict jaw and the rest of his face looks faggoty
Alexander Robinson
Eh, guess we'll find out, but I don't believe these articles anymore without something a little more substantial. Last we heard Ezra was confirming he wasn't going anywhere, and now thus turns up? There is an active media campaign to cast doubt on anything and everything not femeale led in the DCU at the moment. It's weird as fuck and I have no idea who could possibly be behind it.
>There is an active media campaign to cast doubt on anything and everything not femeale led in the DCU at the moment.
Except for The Batman. And Shazam. And Aquaman. And Black Adam.
Maybe they're "casting doubt" on The Flash because it is a shitshow of a production with an uncertain future.
Juan Perry
And if he confirms that he is still on board and it's all fake, there will be another 'leak' next week. It's like clockwork.
Except there have been negative spins on all of those leading up to them? The sad fact is that, even if all this stuff is true, most of it gets instantly dismissed because there is some rumor like this every week.
Christian Diaz
Believe me, I agree with you - it's frustrating that there's all this disinfo/anecdote surrounding this project almost constantly but for me it makes me feel better to see or hear directly from the star/person making the movie that things are still chugging along.
Xavier Watson
>Except there have been negative spins on all of those leading up to them?
Shitposting on Yea Forums isn't a "negative spin" on things.
Jack Turner
Yeah, it does. I can't imagine they'd really think this would be a good idea for a first movie. Hell, if the other script ends with Thawne trapped, it could lead into the Miller script naturally.
Brody Davis
How many times were we reassured Affleck was still Batman?
People have a reason for being skeptical of this kind of stuff.
Logan Baker
Did we hear consistently over and over directly from Affleck himself though?
Bentley Martin
Slott's spiderverse was a copy of the superman army which borrowed the concept from Flash of Two Worlds. Flash is literally the multiverse guy.
Luis Rodriguez
No.
And neither have we from Ezra. He hasn't spoken about the movie since the report about his conflict with the directors first hit.
Asher Brooks
See: Vahn got arrangements to do an interview with him, and like I said in the next few days we should have more stuff from Twitter about people who are asking him about it
