Manganiello confirms the Deathstroke movie was going to be an origin story and he was going to be in the Suicide Squad sequel pre-Gunn.

Well, that would've been interesting.

Good to confirmation on Static, Zatanna, and Blue Beetle. Seeing how DC has so many legacy characters, I wonder how they'll present BB. If the Flash gave us traditional Barry Allen, I'm willing to bet this will give us Ted Kord. This way he can have a Dan Garrett as mentor and we'll just have to wait on Jaime.

[RoyalRubble]

I'm inclined to think they're talking about a Blue Beetle movie (since that also recently got a director), but the rumored HBO Max series could still be a possibility I guess.

And Zatanna should still be only a TV series, part of HBO Max' "Dark Universe".

Well, in identity and profession, if not characterization.

I was gonna say this Barry Allen is a hybrid of the contemporary Flashes right down to Impulse coming from a dystopian future.

I think of any of The Flashes he's most like Impulse Bart with a dash of Wally.

Fingers crossed it's the other way around in both the director's cut and the solo movie.

I'm pretty sure that The Batman is not set in the DCEU unlike the rest you mentioned.

I think they'll write to Ezra Miller, if nothing else...

Well, his Arrowverse counterpart looks more like Wally than his comic book counterpart, after all.

I mean, maybe if he was a redhead...

I thought Grant Gustin's Barry Allen was more like Wally ever since he became The Flash because the show decreased his intelligence and increased his reliance on others, from building a suit to even figuring out creative uses of his powers/resolutions to problems. From what I understand the character was originally no different from the average scientist superhero and his more goofier (being clumsy & awkward) traits were added on in much much later stories to more overtly make him a Peter Parker analogue.

Well, comic Wally was pretty smart and self-sufficient and his whole thing was eventually surpassing Barry as The Flash. He just had a phase where he was mostly listless and a bit of a horndog.

Gustin's Barry took some traits and feats from Wally but as the show has gone along he's gotten more and more like comic Barry in personality.

From what I'm reading and just the history of the character as a sidekick and teen hero, he still had mainly other established characters & heroes to bring him up to speed on how to be one himself. This is also going to be rather ironic for Ezra Miller's Barry Allen, but he was still very much on his own discovering what he's capable of.

How far into the show, are we talking? Because I stopped at the 5th season.

Wally had Jay and Max Mercury as The Flash, although I wouldn't say they were constantly involved in his heroic journey.

I was more talking about the show from an overall standpoint.

3/17: Snyder shares more about his JL sequel comic book idea.

3/19: Snyder confirms he did talk to Adam Driver about a role but it wasn't Nightwing. He also confirms the death of Robin would have been retold in one of the JL sequels.

At least he wasn't looked at for a character that Snyder thought was dead .

 

[Yojimbo]

Snyder reveals he pitched an Atom/Ryan Choi movie.
