There is no way they would have picked Grant Gustin for this role, why? Use your brains people, he is the star of DC's current biggest TV show, he has a contract with the CW to portray Barry ON TELEVISION. If they had picked him to be in the film then the show would have had to stop production since filming schedules would have clashed and there is no way CW would agree to that. As for the film. I'll be honest, my excitement died down the moment they announced Green Lantern wouldn't be in this movie aka a founding member of the JL. I'm more excited to see Wonder Woman since at least that looks like it will stay pretty faithful to her origin. I'm kind of dreading seeing what storylines Zack Snyder will butcher next. BvS alone had Man of Steel 2, Batman Origins, Doomsday, Death of Superman, Darkseid and the introduction of the JL crammed in.

Man Of Steel 2 was in Batman Vs Superman I must have missed that and Darkseid is not introduced as he is only hinted at during the film!
Green Lantern is part of the Justice League but it would be too difficult to fit his whole back story into Batman Vs Superman so I guess Synder had to limit it to a certain amount of heroes in it unless you want a 5 hour film to include him! They could have easily delayed Flash TV show to fit in filling on the Justice League despite it being unlikely. It will be interesting to see how people react to the Flash film especially as the TV show is so loved! |

I still don't understand why they totally recast the Flash though for 3 movies (5 if you count the cameos) when they had a perfectly capable actor already playing the role on television.
And before anybody hits me with "But TV actors are shite", Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Orphan Black, Orange is the New Black, Stranger Things and a ton of other shows have absolutely phenomenal casts, with Grant proving himself to be a great actor in "The Flash", I have no doubt in my mind that if he had been given the role he would have nailed it, plus it would have given the "DCCU" some nice continuity and would have had their own, more expanded TV x Movies cross-overs that Marvel has yet to properly pull off with Agents of Shield and the Netflix shows. |

As for the Marvel TV shows, I think both are supposed to be within the Marvel "Cinematic" universe but still apart. I heard somewhere that this was down to the speed at which TV and movies move/progress. |

Even though the Flash is the character most suited to alt universes, having the same actor on TV and movies would make a lot of people think the TV show was "required viewing" to understand the movies. It would also make the Flash movie seem like an expensive TV episode. Besides which, it's much, much too late to be crying over Gustin not being in the DCEU. The casting of Ezra Miller was announced two years ago. He has already done two cameos and is currently shooting Justice League. Get over it. |

Hopefully there's no immediate issue with me resurrecting this (it's only been three/four months)..
I (re)watched Man of Steel yesterday, I've never really had a problem with it, though I know a lot of fanboys did after it's release. There is one (well two) themes that seemingly irritate me though, that is (specifically) Wonder Woman & Aquaman; quite possibly the Lantern Corps too. Zod comes to Earth, seeking Kel-El, and with his arrival, fully intends to terraform Earth to create a new Krypton. Seeing as terra forming Earth ultimately erases Atlantis and Themyscira from the planet, what exactly were the Amazonians and Atlantis doing at this point? Surely they were aware of Zod's arrival? I doubt they're technologically enhanced the way traditional humanity is within the DCEU, but they must have people (informants) around to relay information to them? I'm ruling out Flash & Cyborg from this cause they may not yet have become the heroes they'll be. The Lantern Corps are another force that should by all accounts have intervened, surely? Them being the Guardians of the Galaxy (to some degree) should have been aware of everything from the fall of Krypton, to the banishment (and escape) of Zod, to his arrival and plans for Earth. Now, the obvious reason is simple; if everyone else was involved it wouldn't be a Superman film, but for the sake of consistency, does anyone care to throw a reason as for these other guys not showing up? Do you think their absence may realistically be explained in future films? |
