Because Ezra Miller is an amazing actor with so few roles. Plus he's slightly hotter than Grant Gustin. \

because that would mean that legends of tomorrow and supergirl are canon within the DCEU

because DC said the TV shows and the Movies are separate universes . . . for some weird reason. Though to say he is the greatest Barry isn't really that hard as there has only been two live action Barry Allen versions. Grant Gustin and John Wesley Shipp are really the only people who actually played Barry Allen. It is really cool that this new series made John Wesley Shipp be Barry's dad, that's pretty awesome.

@v3ro75 DC Comics/Entertainment wants to keep the film universe (the DC Extended Universe) and the tv-series universe (often called the DC CW universe or the Arrowverse) ==separate from each other==. That means casting different actors/actresses for the same role in the DCEU than they did in the DCCW universe.<br /> <br /> As DC’s Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns said: “It’s a separate universe than film so that the filmmakers can tell the story that’s best for film, while we explore something different in a different corner of the DC universe.”<br /> <br /> Casting Grant Gustin for this film would've muddled the waters too much and would, on top of that, have been rather confusing, given past statements from DC about keeping the two universes separate (see the first and second paragraph).<br /> <br /> See the DCEU and DCCW universe as two different sets of Earths (and other planets). They co-exist, but they don't know of each other's existence and can't travel to each other's universes.<br /> <br /> Some further reading:<br /> <br /> - https://screenrant.com/dc-movie-television-separate-universes/<br /> - https://www.cinemablend.com/television/What-DC-Calling-Its-Split-Universe-Why-Everything-Being-Kept-Separate-67994.html<br /> - https://screenrant.com/dc-superhero-movies-tv-shows-crossover/

@v3ro75 Watch the new season. Just him defeating bad guys with pep talks. He was good in it but now he is too goodie goodie in the role in a sickening sort of way.

@v3ro75 Gustin works as the goody goody words matter CW Flash. Which I found more punchable as the seasons went on lol.

@v3ro75 probably because the 2 projects have literally nothing to do with each other aside from being about the same character. It would make no sense and would be confusing to have the same actor play the character in two totally separate universes.

@v3ro75 how did you even get to comment 7 years before the film release? And a top comment without being an actual review or commentary of the actual film? Can we get this removed please?

@xaliber Sorry if you don't know how to use Trakt, but comments for future releases are open, and my comment is not about the film itself, I actually commented even before the movie started shooting. So please, mind your own business if you have reading comprehension issues. There is no reason to remove my comment, but there's reason for you to go back and read the site terms and conditions.

@abtr actually the flash got pretty boring/ridiculous. And Grant is a very whiney Flash. Terrific Actor? Sources?

@hildebread honestly, I've kinda stopped watching because of of bad it got. But that is the writer's fault. Same with Barry's character turning super annoying. <br /> I still think Grant is a great actor. He's just been getting really crappy material to work with recently.

@abtr He sucks now and the show sucks now. Just is corny now.

@abtr because they are totally separate universes. They're not even _parallel_ universes. It's not a multiverse thing. They are totally different studios and everything. It would be too confusing to have the same actor play the character in both completely unrelated projects.

@saint-pauly plus he’s a TERRIBLE Flash/Barry.
