The Flash (2022)

I suspect that the Riddler's standing will improve greatly over the next couple years. Hell, the next couple of weeks.

The Flash has been delayed to June 2023. Thanks, Black Adam.

So mad. I could strap a bomb to a strongman's belt and toss him in a sewer!

Um, how sure are we that Black Adam is the reason?

I think based on where everything landed we can say that Adam is probably the reason. It went to October because maybe WB thinks it isn't big and bad enough to complete in July. The Flash is in June, so I think they're still pretty confident in that release. In fact I'd say very confident since tis the blockbuster season. Aquaman isn't ready and Shazam moved up because the first was a fan favorite and 2 was cheaper to make (compared to the others) from what I hear.

It's been delayed by over seven and a half months?! So much for Keaton returning on the 30th anniversary of his last outing.

Presumably this also means that Batgirl is being delayed until sometime in 2023. Way to kill our hype.

[The Dark Knight]

I hoped these ridiculous delays would be a thing of the past. Apparently not. But I'm not angry. I'm largely numb to disappointment these days. I'll see it when it gets released, but I'm not going to wish my life away for anything.

The reason I ask is because the rumors floating around now are saying that WB is rethinking EVERYTHING in light of TB's success. People are breathlessly claiming that TB has a shot at $1 billion. I'm not sure about that, m'self.

But if WB wants to essentially use TB as DCEU ver. 2.0, they might want to delay The Flash so that they can reshoot key elements of it. Said reshoot will close the book on everything else they've done prior to TB.

That's a conspiracy theory and there are flaws in that logic. Nevertheless, that's the big rumor that's making the rounds at present.

Having said that, your analysis sounds credible as well. So, I have no idea what to think at this point.

This is what Deadline says:

We've heard that a number of these movies, which are VFX heavy, are being pushed due to the logjam many post-prod effects houses are facing as productions ramped up during Covid. The Flash alone has 2,500 VFX shots, we understand.

I don't buy this for one second. Lots of blockbuster films were made during the pandemic. In fact, it was reported ZSJL had roughly 2,800 VFX shots that were developed when the pandemic was at its peak. If Covid was such a serious factor for causing these delays then why the hell did they release this publicity promo a month ago?

Clearly, The Flash and Aquaman 2 were meant to come out this year. I heard a rumour this might be a result of the impending Discovery merger.

Whatever it is, something's up. I'm surprised they haven't announced the delay for Batgirl yet, surely there's no way for that movie to come out this year as it obviously ties into The Flash.

I mean, in this day and age, delays are so common...it is what it is.

It'll get here whenever
