I hope all the raving from DC Heads about the Flash was due to this being the reboot they needed so audiences weren’t confused with a new Superman etc.
To be honest it wasn’t a bad movie personally. There are definitely worse movies out there. I think this most likely failed as even both hardcore and casual fans know they’re rebooting the universe and Ezra’s issues were far more public than DC realized. I don’t think DC had much of a choice as all the shooting was already completed before all the crazy shit he did came out.
Well... now that sick puppy's career is finally well and truly over. Just like it should have been two years ago.
At this point, a thorough psychological evaluation as part of the casting process might be starting to look like a good idea to producers of the big budget tentpole films and franchises.
What’s surprising is that they usually do have to do something similar. More at risk actors will have studios paying more for insurance. Ex. Why RDJ with Iron Man was a big risk.
