Just a few days ago Warner announced that he was preparing a 10-year plan to direct the course of DC movies. All this came very shortly after learning that he had canceled ‘Batgirl’ when it was already shot, a case that was even more striking when the studio confirmed that it was continuing with its plans to release ‘The Flash’ in theaters despite the erratic behavior of Ezra Miller During the last months.
An insurmountable situation
The truth is that the actor was already dragging several scandals behind him when at the end of March this year he starred in several consecutively. So it was ‘Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets’ that he had to carry with all the bad press caused by this, but it is that since then it has starred in new scandals to the point that it was almost impossible to keep track of all of them.
The most recent has been an accusation of having entered a Vermont house on May 1 to steal several bottles of alcohol. In this case there appears to be enough evidence to bring the actor to justice, having notified Miller of the crime of robbery in an unoccupied dwelling This past Friday, August 7.
The curious thing is that perhaps it is the least striking a priori accusation -if it was even said that he had led a kind of sect- that can definitively confirm his fall from grace. For much less there are others who ended up buried in oblivion, but at Warner they continue to resist recognizing that ‘The Flash’ is a toxic movie. They should, that this keeps going from bad to worse and the DCEU is not going to be immune from it.
For now, ‘The Flash’ keeps its release date scheduled for June 23, 2023, but let’s not forget that its release has already been delayed several times, which was initially scheduled for March 23, 2018. I imagine that Warner trusts that the whole problem with Miller will go to less in the missing time, but for now just the opposite is happening.
