There's a reassuring amount of people standing up to Mayimbe and telling him that he's being unreasonable to WB- even if he seems to be (not sure but some pop up elsewhere to me through rts that aren't in his replies) hiding some of said Tweets. And the sickening part is- sure, I'm biased, but I think this is a logical conclusion going of all his Tweets and podcast- if it was Feige or Marvel who did it he'd be saying "oh these guys know what they're doing, they're so clever."
Make sure if you have Twitter you tell him that it's not okay to get upset because WB are cracking down on him. It happens to all journalists or at least favourite some people standing up to him (I'm Darth TARDIS, you'll see me being civilly aggressive).

I love how people are saying that he's "single handedly" keeping DC's hype alive. Not Batman and Superman. El Mayimbe.

It's an absolute joke. 99.8% of people have never heard of El Mayimbe.

We get previews every now and then and that's great, but I don't want it to get to the point where he's dropping big spoilers. Unsubstantial whining about DC because he got rejected to a WB event for leaking their stuff isn't. I just don't want someone the industry seems to love quoting slurring DC.

He honestly seems like a douche to me when I heard that podcast. "Yeah, I lost close to 50 lbs. I'm a big guy. Taller than Andre. There was this one guy who was hurting my feelings online and I found his number. I pulled a Liam Neeson on him because I'm a self proclaimed bad ass. Yeah, bro."

I hope WB gives him a big fat lawsuit to think about. I want some stuff in this film to be a surprise, so I skipped the pics and went to this discussion. He needs to learn that distributing someone else's unpublished intellectual property (and putting your own watermark on it!) is probably illegal and certainly low class.

That's what all this is, getting all the possible spoilers :D If you want legit information plus some great promo images, buy a movie magazine, there's plenty of them. With the way the movies are being made these days, where you virtualĺy know nothing if they really don't want you [about the movie], these "journalists" publish anything there is... And look at them, there's nothing you haven't already seen

I think connecting the TV and Movie format would have done more harm than good. Let the creators have their freedom. I doubt Warner Bros. would want one of their directors regretting the decision.

He's only the definitive version of The Flash because there aren't many other versions to compare him to. I hope they'll be able to use the same character but differentiate them from each other. It'll be a challenge.

At first I was a bit dissapointed too about TV and movies being separate universes, but now I find it a good idea. Beside avoiding some practical problems (like I don't think Ben Affleck would ever agree to appear on a CW show), there is also the fact that we get different incarnations of the same characters, which is good. I am also a huge Grant Gustin fan, but I would hate to see the show getting less interesting just to save some big storylines that they can use in a feature film. For example, if the universes were connected, I don't think we would get Grodd or Thawne on the show, as they are very important flash villains. And if we get them on both mediums, everyone would start bitching "oh, now they are just repeating themselves, we already saw the big flash-reverse flash fight on the show, give as something new". Of course that doesn't mean we wont be getting a new Reverse-flash. But they will be able to give the whole movie a different vibe (pun intended) than the show, thus making it more distinct and original.

Although it would be a dream come true, I doubt they would ever mention the multiverse. Too confusing for GA if they haven't seen the shows. Btw, nice article!

I think it'd be hard to tackle but would pay off for the fans- and Geoff Johns HAS used the term. Even if it doesn't come about the separation makes faaaarrr more sense.
0 likes
I think Johns used the term only to tell the fans that they can still hope. I don't think they will actually do it. Anyway, if they were to do it, it would surely be after 2020, after all the characters had a solo film. So maybe things look different by then, if Flarrow is still on air :p

Interesting fact: Greg Berlanti, helming Flash, Supergirl, and Arrow wrote a Green Lantern script that WB didn't use which he had a fair bit of faith in. He's teased despite the exhaustion of it all he'd like to do another superhero based project and that script's story is still out there- it's unlikely, but a GL show would be kind of amazing if they got the effects right, and I thought it was interesting that of all the characters to have a script for it's the one they keep namedropping.
Plus, another interesting fact, he didn't pitch Supergirl's show concept to DC, they pitched it to him. So it's going to be, they said, a very comic grounded, but modern take on Kara. I honestly don't think the trailer did it justice, but the two minute promo that got leaked and removed did. This could be a great show!

And to Arrow lovers like me who felt betrayed by the finale, you will like this (pic).

Yeah, that's accurate. I feel bad as Arrow IS my favourite show and I loved S2 but feel a bit let down that they listened to the "shippers." My qualm was that they just focused on it, did stupid things like Felicity in the suit, and now Stephen/Emily's once amazing chemistry feels reeeealy forced and stale.
If it happens I just need them to tone it down.

That was what I thought, but I think he actually had a lot less input than we thought.
Quote: "He wrote a script for a “Green Lantern” movie he’d hoped to direct back in 2010, but the studio ultimately went with another version, which disappointed at the box office."
On another note, I'm really sad GL failed. Ryan was a fine Hal and Mark Strong was a KILLER Sinestro, he would have been amazing.

That probably would have been amazing!!!!
Edit:wrong comment whoops this was a reply to Toucan!!!1 like
Honestly, i dont think a green lantern show is a good idea. The budget would have to be a lot higher than the other shows and Berlanti will struggle to deal with the cw shows as well as supergirl. There's also the fact that if a green lantern is cast, people will want it to be the same as in the dccu like grant and ezra.

I just realized, if the Flash in the movies will be Barry, I think it's safe to assume that the GL will be Hal. That's how the Flash/GL dynamics works after all...

Cheap looking implies that they have the money and they just don't use it. In fact the special effects on these shows are incredible considering the micro-budget they are given.

You guys see this online yet? What do you think?

Interesting, but could be anything. Most obvious answer is that there's a crew member with a similar jawline to Affleck. It wouldn't make sense for Affleck to just be hanging around on set for a scene he's not in, unless his behind the scenes role in the DCCU is larger than we thought.
Affleck was spotted in LA last week, fwiw.

I suppose it's possible. The one thing that makes me think no is his lack of height. This person looks to be of similar height to Leto, who is a little on the short side.

Yeah but the dude's clearly crouching a bit.

Yeah, been even still. Ben is like 6'3". Leto is only 5'9". That's a pretty big difference...
Again, I suppose it's possible. However, just going by this, I lean towards no.

The only way I see it possibly being Ben is if the dude in the back is actually standing further back than he appears to be. But I don't know.

The flaws of everywhere in the internet, same as with Leto, is comparing different versions. Serves no one, the main thing is where we're getting two great Flashes. But Ezra is an EXTREMELY talented actor indeed.

The comparisons are inevitable I think. Though you're right. We get to see Grant kick ass every week while we will soon see Ezra joining the Justice League. Gotta love the DC multiverse. This has made me thinking to... do you think Ezra will go blonde for the role to differentiate himself even more?
0 likes
They're definitely inevitable, I agree, but theyr'e no less annoying haha. That's my mentality exactly, we get Flash every week AND in the Justice League? It's amazing.
I kinda hope he does just to quell those comparisons further and I think he'd look far more Barry-ish blonde. Plus he needs it cut definitely- although given David Ayer seemed to give every cast member of Suicide Squad a haircut- Leto, Kinnaman, Jai Courtney, Will Smith- it's a safe bet haha.

What makes me question Ezra going blonde is the fact that Momoa won't for his character. Maybe Momoa didn't have to do it because his character is a Hawaiian type (which typically don't have blonde hair)?
