Ezra Miller’s ‘The Flash’ Sets Record Test Scores For A DCEU Film

August 19, 2022 Jordan Ruimy

A source deep inside Warner Bros is telling me that staff are quite perplexed by the way things have been going ever since new CEO David Zaslav was hired.

If you remember, in July it was reported that he had rejected the pitch for a new Clint Eastwood movie. Eastwood has been a mainstay at Warners for more than 50 years.

On the superhero front, I’m being told Zaslav is not happy with what he’s seen of “Aquaman 2,” currently in post-production, but not to the point of shelving it like he did with “Batgirl.”

Meanwhile, Zaslav and company have had Ezra Miller, AKA The Flash, assaulting people around the world left and right, but that movie is staying put. Zaslav is actually a big fan of “The Flash.” That’s why there will likely be no more delays in regards to that movie. It’s very much a 2023 release, despite its budget having supposedly skyrocketed to close to $300 million.

Directed by Andrés Muschietti, “The Flash” is said to be one of the better DCEU movies, and a recent 08.11.22 test screening of the film only enhanced Zaslav’s confidence in the finished product. I’m told “The Flash” earned the highest test-score ratings in DCEU history.

Miller is said to be perfect in the role. The film is also Michael Keaton’s grand return as Batman, and he is said to play a very important role in the plot, appearing in more than half of the film’s 140 minutes.

Along the way there are cameos from Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, and Jason Momoa. There is also a CGI-ed version of Christopher Reeve as Superman. How does Reeve show up exactly? A big chunk of the plot has to do with Flash’s desire to change his past and bring back his mom with a space-time continuum — this has the Flash starting to see DC heroes from the past like Reeves, Adam West, Helen Slater and Linda Carter.

“Humorous, thrilling and emotional” is what one person told me about “The Flash.”
