THR: Ezra Miller is writing THE FLASH with Grant Morrison
- Thread starter ManaByte
- Start date
I love Morrison and Miller but darker flash film doesn't seem to be the move. Maybe in a sequel after.
Seems to be setting himself up to fail? If the directors don't like it and upper management don't like it..:why?

Sounds like Miller wants a dark and gritty Flash, but the directors WB hired don't. So Miller and Morrison are writing their own version and if the studio doesn't like it he may be out of the role. He's gambling.
I mean no one else seems to be pushing for this movie to get done....at this point I'd rather just see a flash movie from anyone, good or bad, than let it remain stuck in development hell.
Suits: We want you to move away from this dark and gritty flash angle.
Miller: Ok then I've got the perfect co-writer to do that... Grant Morrison.
Suits: Oh that makes perfects sense! Everyone expects light and breezy from Morrison!
I wish they'd have gone with Wally for movie flash. Barry's got the TV show, comics, video games and pretty much everything else so why not do something different? It'd also allow them to cash in on a different generation's nostalgia.
Also, never been a fan of Barry as a tragic hero either. Batman brings more than enough tragedy for any universe.

Morrison has done a decent amount of TV writing at this point with shows like Happy! I would not expect him to write a script that's more palatable to execs though considering his literary inclinations.

Wasn't this rumoured to be Flash Point? I think that's pretty dark for what it is
It depends on who your talking about. Barry's been written into some pretty dark stories.
Warren Ellis is the one involved with Castlevania, not Morrison.
No. I want flash to be light hearted but not goofy/dumb like green lantern. Had enough of the dark and gray after Zack.
Was literally thinking about it last night after watching the latest Avengers trailer. Any bets as to who would be the grand antagonist of the first movie?
Isn't The Flash a character that should lend himself most easily out of anybody to the lighter side heroism that WB is looking for?
In a world where people are seriously clamoring for Flashpoint to be the first Flash movie, "dark and grits" doesn't seem that strange at all. Some apparently really want it.
So Ezra wants to go dark while the filmmakers want to go light and fun?
Come on man. It took us so long to get here.

The same people wanting a Flashpoint movie are the same ones that shot Preptime Batman. They don't know what they talking about
This is...a choice, for sure.
I mean, best of luck, but like everyone here has mentioned, the Flash doesn't seem to lend itself to dark & gritty.

Ezra was very unhappy with the current script, and the report claims that if Warner chooses Miller/Morrison they risk losing the directors (which would make them the third directors to leave the film) and if they stick with the current one, Miller is considering leaving
This seems bad for a film you want releasing in '20, either way
Hope that Ezra Miller pulls it off and makes The Flash dark and gritty! I missed that era of the DCEU and would love for it to come back :)
