Kevin Smith Teases An Eventual Crossover Between The DC Films And TV Properties

DC Films Presents: Dawn of the Justice League host Kevin Smith has revealed that the door is open at Warner Bros. for some sort of crossover between their big and small screen adaptations...

There's been a lot of controversy over Warner Bros.' decision to keep their film and TV DC Comics adaptations separate, and as disappointing as it may be to some that Stephen Amell's Green Arrow won't show up in Justice League, it's something which also has its advantages in terms of the creative freedom the driving forces behind these projects have.

Regardless, Kevin Smith revealed on his Fat Man on Batman podcast (via CBR) that he agrees with fans who believe that Grant Gustin is worthy of playing The Flash on the big screen, indicating in the process that his version of the Scarlet Speedster could very well meet up with Ezra Miller's. "We did a piece where we talked about -- I don’t know how much I’m supposed to say because they cut it out," Smith said of the recent DC Films Presents: Dawn of the Justice League special. "But the idea [came up] of, 'Hey man, DC is known for nothing if not a multiverse,' so at which point I was like [to Johns], 'Could they [frick]ing crossover?' And he was like, 'Ahh.' So doors are being left open and stuff like that."

While nothing is confirmed at this stage, the filmmaker went on to accurately point out the advantages of a crossover: "Think about this, you can have Ezra Miller be the Flash and you could also have Grant be the Flash, because there’s a multiverse at work."

If this happens, it's probably a very long way off, but would you like to see these worlds collide in some sort of epic crossover somewhere down the line?

Unlikely. God forbid the DCCU actually give the fans what they want. Besides, the Stephen Amell Green Arrow isn't that great. Grant Gustin's the Flash is far superior.

I've been thinking this for a while. And I'd be all about a cinematic Crisis. I'm picturing a scene with Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney (unlikely), Christian Bale and Ben Affleck. I'm also picturing a scene with all the various Supermen/Superboys looking on as a CG George Reeves and Christopher Reeve are seen doing something important (but brief). Not that you'd have to have a scene where all the various incarnations of a character team up - that'd take up too much movie time but those two scenes would be a must for me. In the end it would be hard to give everyone their due and you'd end up with a movie that basically has a lot of expensive extras. But I'd still dig it.

I always thought that if they made a "Crisis of Infinite Earths" movie, then the tv and movie versions should all be in the film. How awesome would it be to even have all of the actors who played Batman make cameos: I.e. Adam West. It would also be funny to see the Superman from Superman Returns meet the Atom from Legends of Tomorrow since they are both played by the same actor.

Was trying to reply directly but the site is having problems apparently. Anyway, not sure if you saw, but Ezra was interviewed for the DC Films Special. He was sporting short and blonde hair. Not a natural blonde of course, but they're definitely sticking true in that regard.

I knew they cut out a lot from that tv special...
Its too generic, its too simple...
What was shown are predominantly facts that we already know, well lots of it anyways...
I knew Kevin asked more than what they show. He's a hardcore fan, of course he'd be asking what we fans been wanting to know. And none of that got airtime...
All this hush hush bs, and then now some bits of it are out.
Thanks Kevin... for revealing them

I'd be down for Gustin, and only Gustin to make an appearance. This site is totally bugging out today.

You know...Kevin Smith should not put false hope into fans minds. It was cut for a reason. I don't see WB doing that at all! Why? There is absolutely nothing that would benefit from them doing it. It would be nothing but fan service and I don't think WB cares about that at all. Worst part about this...we must now endure more DC crossover talks....*Sigh*

I'm all for Grant Gustin to crossover in the flash film but having the movie version of the flash in the television show has the potential to overshadow the CW's flash

I'm down for a Crisis like event. It would be great to see Michael Rosenbaum as Lex meeting Jesse Eisenberg as Lex too.

I also would like a Crisis event were the Pre New 52 goes against the New 52.

On a different topic, since this new update to the site has it logged you out each time? Hopefully soon all the glitches will be figured out.

Well to be fair a crisis event would be the only thing DC could really do that could compare to infinity war. But thats far down the line, let's not think too far ahead just yet.

@Joker1zero Matter of opinion, Arrow is going down hill for sure (thanks to Felicity more so than anyone else) but if you actually understand the direction they've gone with Amell's Oliver Queen, he's more than suited.

@FrozenJoy Glad you liked my concept :D

I don't see this happening but the multiverse can allow DC to do so many things. Who know what crazy sh*t we might see.

@Mrcool210 They could do Flashpoint that is easily up there as Infinity War and Crisis event
Mrcool210
Mrcool210 - 1/23/2016, 7:51 PM
@AsapHarley Eh, I would argue that it still doesn't feel as big as something like infinity war or crisis, especially since it would really disappoint people that wouldn't get to see the actors they've come to love in these roles in a flashpoint movie. Crisis just feels a bit more like the end game, like infinity war.
