Maybe the Right Term is "Cautiously Optimistic?"
Not sure how I’m feeling about this approaching event. I loved the 1989 Batman—in fact, I saw it opening day at Mann’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood. That was a fun day, and Keaton was great, and I still enjoy Elfman’s score. And The Flash was my favorite comic book character growing up. So, if you told me that the Flash would appear in that version of DC’s universe, meet Michael Keaton’s Batman, and they’d have adventures together, I would have freaked out. But what if I had told myself that I would be…ambivalent about it? There are several reasons: I’m not a fan of the new Flash or the actor that plays him, I’m frustrated with DC and their “spin the wheel and see what happens” methodology of filmmaking, and the Snyderverse was a massive letdown.
That being said, I have to say, the more I read about this iteration of the Flash, which sounds like it’s setting up a way to “branch off” the Synderverse and create a new DC landscape, I’m intrigued. I guess the best I can say is…we’ll see?
From JoBlo: “Promotional material for DC’s The Flash is fast approaching. Ahead of Super Bowl LVII, where a trailer for the upcoming DC superhero film will come racing in, DC Studios debuted a new poster for The Flash. In the new poster, Ezra Miller’s Flash surveys the Batcave, a locale buried deep beneath the Wayne Family grounds. As light pours in from a wall opening, the Flash stands atop a platform with the Batplane hanging above his head. The Scarlet Speedster’s suit is aglow with stylish piping, shining brighter than the sunlight on his sleek form.” Read the whole story here.
