Depends on how put of control Ezra Miller's spiral becomes. If they could just lock him away for a month so the news cycle moves on, they could be fine to release it.

Then again, cancel culture crowds a bit hungry. Not a lot to cancel lately.

Ahh yes, that evil cancel culture going after a grown man who grooms minors and kidnaps people. It’s a witch hunt!

But they're trans. Canceling them at this juncture would be the cherry on top of a crap-sundae.

How dare you call them a man?

Oh. Uhhhh. I meant going after WB for releasing the movie if they do.

No one in their right mind would be opposed to cancelling out Miller. There's some seriously loose screws in that noggin.

There's a bunch of different reasons, depending on who you ask/what rumors you listen to.

Fans want to see it happen. DCEU execs don't (if rumors are to be believed). Zac Snyder doesn't seem to like the character finding him too 'light hearted' for Zac's vision of the DCEU.

The reason I find most compelling at the moment is that...the Arrowverse and the DCEU movieverse exist as two wholly separate entities, and I think that given the amount of problems the DCEU already has...mixing the tv shows and movies probably isn't on their to-do list.

Hey guys, just a quick reminder that Ezra identifies as non-binary, so calling them "he/him" isn't correct or appropriate.

Actually it’s perfectly appropriate since I had absolutely no idea how they identified until your sanctimonious post.

That post is not doing what you think it is, it just kind of makes you look like an #######.

To clarify, my post wasn't even directed at you. If you felt the need to say anything, the most you should have said was you didn’t know and you’ll make sure to correct your mistake, instead of whatever the hell that was.

Though they did allow Ezra Miller's Flash to show up in an episode of the Crisis On Infinite Earths Arrowversse crossover event, opening the door for a connection between the two universes.

Then you should use person rather than man if you don’t know. Defaulting to singular they or gender less language should be tried. Also if you do make a mistake rather than say you were right to do it you say okay will fix in future.

The Arrowverse is apparently done.

One of the crazy things in this topsy turvy world of ours what with high energy prices, hyper-inflation and wacky wide, wide world of sports is exactly at what point did a bunch of film executives hunker down in a room one day and decide the direction of their comic-book Universe needs someone at the helm.

And then they decided to hitch their wagon to Zack Snyder....

Baffling.

Allowing him to do a panel by panel retelling of Watchmen instilled a lot of false confidence in a charlatan.

For anyone who has both watched the Sandman series and read the comics, where are we in terms of how far the show has gotten into the comics, out of the 75 total issues.

So I guess the thing with Flash and Ezra Miller would be, has he been convicted of any of the allegations yet? I haven't really paid that close attention to it.

If I was WB I would almost be trying to get this out the door before he digs himself deeper and/or ends up in jail. How can you release this movie after a court finds him guilty of some of the stuff he has been accused of doing?

What a dumpster fire. Re shoot whatever you can, especially the ending, to make sure he is written out as the Flash and start moving forward.

There's been wellness checks by social services for all the children staying with Miller, and they haven't found anything. The women staying with Miller have all come out and stated that they are not in danger, and it's the families stating otherwise.

The drunken bar stuff has resulted in arrests and fines, after pleading guilty. Miller isn't a very big person and there was no reports of actual injury in any of these disorderly conduct incidents, which all ended with Miller being escorted out.

The most recent burglary charge remains outstanding.

Then there was the time this ####### choked a woman in Iceland to near unconsciousness.

It's amazing to see WB trash projects left & right, give Ray Fisher the boot for calling out their terrible working conditions, yet fall over themselves time and time again trying to do damage control for Miller and sort out his crap without shelving The Flash.
