Last month, we heard that Warner Bros. is holding back on giving Flashpoint the green light because the studio is waiting to see how Justice League does first. If rumours about the likes of Aquaman and Wonder Woman showing up in the movie are accurate (not to mention an alternate universe version of Batman), it's clearly going to have a huge budget and that's left studio execs somewhat cautious.
Well, as you can see below, Warner Bros. President Toby Emmerich has confirmed that they are now closing in on a director and hope to get work started soon, comments which may confirm that the studio really is taking a wait and see approach before they consider letting cameras roll on the movie.
If Justice League does fail to live up to expectations, it's feasible that the Flash's movie will be rethought with a smaller scale and lower budget focusing solely on the Fastest Man Alive as opposed to a huge ensemble with other familiar faces from the DCEU. Do you still want Flashpoint to happen?
