Rumor: THE FLASH Solo Film Is Not Doing The Flashpoint Storyline

The Flash has been through it all. Losing directors, changing scripts, it seems the movie just does not want to get made. The latest reports say the film will ditch the famous "Flashpoint" storyline.

It has been some time since Ezra Miller was cast to play Barry Allen on the big screen but his solo project has had some massive production delays.
 
Multiple directors have come and gone and then last year at Comic-Con Warner Bros. announced that the movie would be Flashpoint. 


For those who have kept up with all things Flashpoint, you will know the movie’s fate has been up in the air for awhile. Last month, The Hollywood Reporter hinted the film would be going in a new direction. Now, a well-known reporter of the DCEU shared another teaser on Twitter that speaks for itself.
 
 
Flashpoint being dead and The Flash getting a proper solo movie makes a lot of sense after Justice League. With Game Night directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein officially signed on for The Flash, they probably have their own ideas they want to bring to the table.

Warner Bros. has not made a comment about the status of Flashpoint nor has DC Entertainment. Are you expecting DC to drop this storyline?

It feels like it is too late to do an origin film.

Warner Brothers needs to drop the entire DCEU and go back to the film franchises that made them a player in the CBM genre. They should build a shared universe around the dark Knight movies and Man of Steel.

I'm loving this "turning into dust" meme.

This is good news if true. I remember a little while back that the title was no longer Flashpoint, which might have been a slight clue 😜

@RolandD - Just curious, but is it good news because we need a Flash solo film, at some point or because you think that the current cinematic universe is salvageable, even after Justice League?

@GwenLantern - I think the DCEU is worth saving and would like to see a Flash solo film. I really don’t want a live action version of Flashpoint. In a comic book universe, where there are literally thousands of stories featuring these characters, a storyline like this is okay. In a movie universe where there are only a handful of stories, I don’t want one of them to be this alternative timeline.

@GwenLantern - The DCEU is worth salvaging. The concensus coming out of Justice League was that the movie is a mess, but that the characters were the bright spot. I honestly didn't like Miller's take on Barry Allen, hopefully that can get toned down, but the others were all solid, leaving hope for future films.

@RolandD/@Aquamoa18 - Fair enough.

I gotta disagree, though, personally. I'd quite like to have a respectable universe, from DC, with a string of good movies, y'know, like Marvel, but if wishes were diamonds we'd all be rich.

I'd gladly take a buncha bad DC movies over nothing, though. In a strange way, I'm really quite thankful that we got a Justice League movie at all. And I'm thankful for MoS, BvS and SS, too.

Honestly, though, I don't think anything would be magically better after Flashpoint, anyway. Until Tsujihara gpes, all we're gonna get is bad movies. So they may as well serve as wish-fulfilment for the fans, like the last handful of bad movies.

I guess I should just regard this period of DC Films as an experimental period, where they just keep throwing shit at the wall and see what sticks, then much later (when Tsujihara's left) they can reboot and start making things more respectable again. And start making good movies again.

@TheRealMandarin - It wouldn't fix anything. It would make it a hundred times worse. It would be like rebooting the MCU with Joel Schumacher in charge. No good can come out of it.

@SisterSunday52 - You're just saying that because it would erase the Snyder films.
SisterSunday52
SisterSunday52 - 5/10/2018, 7:03 PM
@GwenLantern - I'm saying this because Snyder was the only one at DC Films with a plan, and judging what we have seen from Trailer Park's Suicide Squad and Frankenstein's monster Justice League, I don't see a rebooted DC Cinematic Universe being good.
