The Flash (2022)

[The Laughing Fish]

Weird choice with Gunn. I mean, his DC tastes seem to gravitate towards the quirky and obscure. Where he can dramatically revise/reinterpret characters at a "R" rated will due to only a small fraction of the populace even being aware of such characters in the first place.

James Gunn is a savvy guy. I'll give him that much. Creatively speaking? I'm just not seeing it. Apparently, someone has to get paid to try to steer the ship.

Can't speak on this Peter Safran fellow.

As I understand it, Safran has been a producer for many post-Josstice League films, including TSS. Which might explain why Gunn got this position in the first place.

I've seen many Snyderverse fans fearing for the worst over any potential prospects of Zack coming back, but I say that's beside the point. Gunn is a creep. But clearly, being a creep is something that's celebrated in Hollywood.

Don't take it too personally. If the rumors of the Comcast buyout are true, this company won't exist anymore in a year and a half.

And when that happens, Comcast will do something just as shady as reprehensible. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss".

Given how they handle Halloween and Jurassic Park, I really dont want them to buy WB

More The Flash merchandise spotted! This time at Target! (Also the barcode if you want to try and look it up) I wonder why all the capes since Nolan dont have the cut outs at the bottom?

[thecolorsblend]

It appears to be an inconsistent element of Affleck's suit. Odd. I've found pics that show a level hem of his cape. But there are also pics like this one that show the... what are we calling those things? Tapers? Scallops?

Anyway, you can find examples of both with Afflec's outfit. Make whatever you want of that.

[Gotham Knight]

Last week it was reasserted by multiple sources that Keaton is still the DCU Batman. At most Cavill has been added to the end, though there is some contention to whether he's in the movie or not.

[The Laughing Fish]

I don't know about that, there has been a lot of suspicious gossip about Keaton and Affleck. Some scoopers say Keaton's future is over after The Flash. I guess it depends who you ask.

There is one recurring rumour I keep hearing that Batfleck is stuck in another timeline, but if that's the case, then what's he doing in Aquaman 2? Either Aquaman 2 takes place before Flash, which I find unlikely, or Batfleck's post-Flash appearance recurs in movies leading up to an event. If Keaton was still replacing Affleck, then the decision to scrap Batgirl doesn't make much sense.

FWIW, James Momoa was quite adamant that Affleck is back...then again, one could say it's only for Aquaman. Or maybe not?

Honestly, I'm not sure I'd want either Keaton or Affleck coming back if they're subjected to James Gunn's idiocy now that he's co-head of DC Films. I'm still shaking my head over that.

Anyway, some promotional materials were shown at Brazil's CCXP a week or so ago.





The bit about the "two idiot kids" thing was already stated by Muschietti in a promo video last year, now it's confirmed that both versions of Barry are the idiots, not Keaton's Batman like some feared. I'm still not enthused, Barry in ZSJL wasn't exactly stupid, and I'm not keen on more Marvelesque humour.

As for the two costumes: I'd say the Prime Flash suit translates very well in the artwork, but that butchered Keaton Batsuit the other Barry is wearing...smh. No words.

Despite these promotional materials getting shown to the public, there is still no trailer for this movie, despite it coming out in six months. That's very unusual, but it does match up with the rumours the movie is STILL get tweaked after extensive reshoots. Another rumour is they still haven't figured out the ending yet. Even if you get past the Ezra problem, that still isn't a good sign. I'd be surprised if a trailer does come out before the New Year.

^ On that note, somebody is doing a great job of keeping Ezra Miller out of the headlines. It's been a while since anybody accused him of being the second gunman on the grassy knoll.

As to Keaton, I would imagine he isn't happy about his scenes getting cut from two of the three movies. He may still be the DCU Batman for all I know. But I would be surprised by that.

That made me laugh harder than it should. On that note is also being said that Keaton is still a huge part of the film, still co-headline, no matter if he's DCU Batman or not, as it will now be up to Keaton to promote and sell the movie basically on his own.

Also, it hasn't been mentioned on this site, but Ben Affleck has signed an exclusive acting deal with a company he started. He is also taking interviews and dumping on the big franchise mentality of studios, calling them 'assembly lines.' I think he's done.

If that's his opinion... well, can't blame him. He hasn't exactly been treated well. Besides, in recent times he's been making a lot of quality films, either as director or actor or both. Him returning to non-superhero cinema is good news in my book.

I think he's right, but more to the point it doesn't bode well for anyone who wants him to stick around.
