Although the test screening results are very impressive,The Flashdoesn’t cease to attract backlash and recast demands. All these are due to the misdeeds and charges onEzra Miller.
But as DC is claiming for a long time, this movie’s going to be a major turning point for the DCEU. It is said that the movie will reboot the entire DCEU and also involve multiversal concepts as Michael Keaton’s veteran Bruce Wayne is also set to join the party. Besides, this movie can also act as medicine to fix all those problems that WBD is going through and can also set the course for Zaslav’s long 10-year plan.
