Warner Bros. and Ezra Miller

[ocnbrze]

OK Batman aside, I don't want to see this film because of its main star. He does not deserve the lime light. He should be in jail, but I guess last month he made a plea deal keeping him out...... for now.

 

[mikedt]

I've not wanted to see any Batman movies since Batman & Robin.

I'm with @ocnbrze on this one, I'll wait till it gets to streaming or HBO.

'The Flash' Bombs At The Box Office

It appears that the newly-released DC film The Flash is facing a disastrous opening weekend at the box office following its premiere.

Ezra Miller = A cancer that Warner Brothers needs to sever ties with.
Anybody, for that matter...
The guy's a frikken lunatic.
If an average person had did what he has done, they'd be in jail right now.
Frikken mental actor with that entitled mentality syndrome....

Being identified as "them" isn't an issue. If someone isn't comfortable with conventional gender roles prescribed by others then why shouldn't they be allowed to do their own thing? Who does that harm?

As for the rest, it will be the usual answer: money and connections protect a lot of people from the consequences of all sorts of shitty behaviour.

Thankfully society seems to for the most part to have moved past this pronoun stupidity . Yes there are still a couple of idiots trying to keep the movement a live in 2023. In reality accept for online how many times did you encounter someone using pronouns?

I heard on the radio that Warners Brothers had a whole publicity campaign set up to promote the flash movie and then their main star started acting like a sociopathic child and they went into cover our butts mode and started doing damage control. I doubt we will Ezra Miller in anything else for a while.

Frequently, and still do. But I work with large numbers of people from many different backgrounds.

The Flash Is Now A Box Office Disaster Of Super-Heroic Proportions - /Film

Yikes.

This is called "Karma"..

 

[Bearsyzf]

Warner Brothers seen this coming a long time ago but they chose not to do anything about it.......... and now they are getting what they deserve.

Well their options were limited: this blew up after the principal photography was done, so it was pretty much "release it or pass it off as a tax loss". And they'd already done the latter with a high profile superhero movie, so repeating that move might have had different reputational costs for the studio.

Of course we don't know whether the poor opening of the film was anything to do with Miller's behaviour. It could be completely unrelated: given how like attention most people pay to really important stuff you should not assume that most of the potential audience even know about this, never mind care.

Well if it does worse than The Green Lantern in the Theatres , they can call it quits.

 

[Hadron]

When Deadpool got hold of a time travel device he used it to stop Ryan Reynolds making The Green Lantern. The Flash is supposed to be time-travelling in this, so maybe there is a solution (at least within the movie, if not the real world)?

 

[Bearsyzf]

Yeah , Ryan still regrets making that movie

It's not a surprise: Gunn is relaunching the DC movie franchise, and from what little I've heard seems to be aiming for an almost if not completely clean slate. Given that the Flash movie lost money, which is the only thing the studio bosses really care about, it's not likely they would be arguing his case, much more likely the opposite.
