Yahoo! neglected to mention the mother of the three children has denied these accusations.

And you neglect to mention that the father doesn't deny the accusations.

Yahoo! neglected to mention the mother of the three children has denied these accusations.

And you neglect to mention that the father doesn't deny the accusations.

Not sure what you're getting at here. I didn't think I had to mention the dad, because I brought up the likelihood that the mother might be brainwashed by Miller. Just because I said Yahoo! neglected one detail doesn't mean I'm convinced Miller is innocent.

Anyway, it seems a planned spinoff show featuring Miller's Flash has been quietly scrapped, according to an actress who later deleted the tweet.

It's being reported that The Flash and Aquaman II, both of which feature Keaton's Batman, will be absent from Comic Con. Most likely owing to the uncertainty surrounding Miller and Heard. Next thing you know, we'll find out that Bill Cosby's been cast as Lucius Fox in Batgirl and then that'll get cancelled too.

Bat-Keaton's big comeback is not proceeding as planned.

The weird thing is, if they just let Snyder finish up his story, we would've been out of the DCEU years ago, and none of this would've been an issue.

lol, oh well....

100% spot on. It's also too bad Keaton's return HAD to be all of this mess. If Batgirl was at least a Burtonverse spinoff, it would've been easy to bypass this.

Meanwhile, Variety reckons the movie is still expected to go into theaters, while interviewing people who witnessed Miller's choking incident in Iceland, and reporting another allegation in Germany:

As for Miller's future as a movie star, it's unclear whether they will continue to perform as the Scarlet Speedster in future projects, but Warner Bros. is still committed to releasing its $200 million-budgeted tentpole "The Flash" in theaters in June 2023. According to sources with knowledge of the project, the film simply costs too much for the studio to scrap entirely and reshooting with a new actor in Miller's role is similarly cost-prohibitive, because the actor is in virtually every scene. Also, the film likely can't generate the revenues needed to turn a profit without a robust theatrical run, so putting the movie directly on HBO Max is also unlikely. All eyes are on Warner Bros., however, as to how it continues to navigate the choppy waters surrounding Miller. The studio already had to downplay the actor's involvement in "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore," which opened in theaters in April.

I don't believe this movie is going to theaters. It doesn't line up with the word going around that Miller has been fired. We'll see.

How long before a Miller version of this comes along?

From the Flash Film News Twitter account:

EXCLUSIVE: We obtained the Santa Monica Police Report & it contradicts previous claims:
- PR initially filed by Chase Iron Eyes, not Sarah
- Ezra Miller closed a car door on Sarah, not repeatedly slam
- Police were not at the scene
- No mention of Gibson or Ezra pulling a knife





May 31: Laundi Germaine Keepseagle, through a private DM on Chase's behalf, claimed she was with Sarah Jumping Eagle & Ezra pulled a knife on Sarah, however she's not mentioned in the report nor in any other published article & the report does not mention Ezra pulling a knife.

June 9: Rolling Stones first reported on this incident in Santa Monica which stated Sarah initially filed the police report. The report shows Chase initiated the filing - "Upon our arrival we met with RP, later identified as [Redacted], advised that HE arrived from South Dakota".

June 11: Chief Bear Cross wrote to The Last Real Indians, a publication owned by Chase, claiming Ezra slammed a car door on Sarah's arm multiple times & Gibson (not Ezra) pulled a knife. Per the report, "The vehicle door was CLOSED on [Redacted] right arm". No mention of a knife.

July 1: in an interview with the Independant, Sarah claimed "The police eventually turned up at the scene but Ezra & Tokata had already gone," however the police report shows the police showed up to 662 Ozone St, 6 min away from the incident.

Though an altercation did happen in Santa Monica, details from the May 29th incident changed multiple times. Since May 31, third parties on Chase's behalf have made unsubstantiated claims about the incident via private DMs & publications.

The fan Twitter thing is all public relations and spin. It seems to consist mostly of "Yeah, it's bad. But not AS bad as you might have heard."

Well, okay. I stand corrected. But guess what? "Groomer" is now inextricably linked to this film. There doesn't seem to be anyone out there debunking that.

We're sort of beyond the point of damage control. Does WBD have the requisite paired reproductive organs to release this movie as is with the groomer thing hanging over it?

There is a rumour going around that Elliot Page is one of the contenders to replace Ezra Miller.

I'm so NOT looking forward to the raging political discourse if that casting happens. I doubt it will happen anyway.
