The Flash (2022)

[The Laughing Fish]

In case nobody else knew, New Gods had been in development...until today. It was announced that the project, and an Aquaman spin-off, got shelved. One of the reasons WB gave for the decision to cancel New Gods was due to Darkseid's appearance in ZSJL making things "complicated". This is interesting to say since they went on record saying they have no interest in continuing the Snyderverse after ZSJL. Sure, there may be only one Darkseid in the multiverse, but since when did WB give a damn about canon?

Some may think this might be good news for the Snyderverse, but according to Forbes writer Mark Hughes, this means those hacks at WB have another agenda:

New Gods' cancellation isn't related to ZSJL, it was cancelled b/c that project & its sequels no longer fit into changed plans for the DCEU. The changed plans also have nothing to do w/ZSJL, it's b/c the Flashpoint film is resetting the DCEU w/a slate of connected projects.

So much for the multiverse.

Meanwhile, Ray Fisher was interviewed on the LightCast YouTube channel a few days ago, and said there wasn't any version of The Flash that didn't feature Cyborg. He expressed having kind words for Andy Muschietti and said the script that he read last year was awesome.

Maybe it was, but now with Warner Butcher's shenanigans, I'm going to assume Muschietti has completely lost creative control of the project. It pisses me off The Flash was looking promising last year, but WB's mismanagement and petty attempts to undermine actors and demand for the Snyderverse threatens to derail the film.

Fisher on Cyborg's role in The Flash.

Andy [Muschietti] seems to have his head on straight and understood these characters by making it about the relationship more than just a display of superpowers. We were on the same page about that, and it'll be a bummer if there is no way to resolve the issue.

What a mess. I'm definitely convinced that Muschietti is not complicit in removing Cyborg from the film. Unless the character gets reinstated, it goes to show he has lost creative control.

I was hoping they'd change the title to Flashpoint. Oh well.

It's really happening. Let's hope the content he's about to film satisfies our desires.

The Batfleckmobile has also been teased to return. It's been speculated Affleck won't wear the suit, so if that's the case, it could be a bunch of scenes in the cave and lakehouse. Early days, though. Anything could happen.

Here's hoping. I hear he arrives in London this week. Here we go!

I'm happy that Keaton is back in the role after thirty years, but thanks to the f***ery going on at WB, I can't say I'm excited about this film any more. Not at this very moment at least.

I don't think The Flash is getting made in good faith, and until things change at the studio, I'm going to remain very skeptical. Such a shame, I was so excited for this film a year ago.

The yellow emblem has been absent from live action for far too long. It's fitting it should return with Keaton. It's time.

That just made my decade.  You know, in my senior yearbook way back in 97 (*cough cough*) I said it was my ambition to make it through university with good grades, figure out what I want to do in life, and see Michael Keaton don the bat-suit one more time.  So, I'm prettttttty sure you guys have me to thank for speaking this into existence nearly 25 years ago.  Wink wink, nudge nudge.  ha!

I also wonder if his cape will be CG (for the most part) like the current films. I would cut down the weight of the suit. I can't wait till the set leaked photos come out (if they do)
