WHy wasn't he chosen to play the Flash in Batman vs Superman?


Is there a reason why he wasn't offered the role? Both the series and the film are made by Warner, I thought he would be in the film. It's rumored it'll be Ezra Miller who I think is wrong for the part.

I'm wondering the same thing. He's definitely worthy of playing Flash on the big screen. If you ask me, WB is screwing this up big time.

I gotta go feed that thing in Room 33.

The Universe's aren't connected

You mean they want to keep the TV series separate from the films even though it is the same character?

reply

Yes. The movies and TV shows are different universes. Heck not even all the tv shows are in the same universe. Just like how Nolans Batman and Burtons Batman are to separate incarnations of the same character

It's not the "same" character. Think of it as the TV shows being Earth 1, and the current movie series being Earth-3.

Ezra Miller will be playing the Flash in The Flash (2018) movie, sooo he will probably play him in SvB too

Zack says the "tone" isn't the same. Basically meaning he thinks the tone of the TV show is lame... and not up to his standards.

I disagree that The TVs Flash couldn't be the Flash in the movies though, he's actually a pretty dang good actor. I don't always agree with him and I'm sure not everyone does, but it is what it is...

Ezra Miller is creepy... so I guess he wants a creepy looking Flash.

The TV-Flash can't be in the movie, because it would create shedule issues, plotholes (like in Man of steel it ends up with Clark and the kryptonians being the first known with powers, and in Flash its Flash and the metahumans)

Its the smarter thing not to connect, just for the fact alone that connection would tie scriptwritters for the shows and movies. Especially the former
