Ok let's get straight to the point EZRA MILLER IS NOT THE FLASH!!!!. My first reason is he looks nothing at all like the character,I mean come on if you look at him you wouldn't find him and Barry at all similar. Now my next reason is he doesn't act anything like barry while l know grant gustin doesn't exactly look like Barry he at least acts like Barry while Ezra miller doesn't seem like can handle the role.now as for people I think who could actually do good for the role are( Chris pine,armie hammer,or CW's the flash star grant gustin ) any of these actors would have been good, so I really hope they make last minute changes and miller out of there and also I think grant gustin would do great ,he's already doing great as the flash so I think they should let him come to Dc cinematic universe ,because I'm sure we don't want to go through what we went through with the green lantern movie ,which was so I horrible it made my cry.But my main point is SOMEONE GET MILLER OUT OF DC's FLASH ROLE!!!!!!!! And let me know what you think in comments below. Do you think Ezra miller should go?

In regards to your point about Ezra not acting like Barry... How do you know? They haven't shown him acting yet. Sure, some people naturally act like the character's they're cast as and are thus great fits (Grant Gustin, Robert Downey Jr.) but for everyone else and every other role? That's kind of the point of actor's EXISTING: To act in ways and as people they aren't. As for how he doesn't look like Barry...

... Yeah, I'll give you that one. I'd really like to think they brought him in to audition for Barry and he knocked it so far out of the park they hired him in spite of his looks, but I somehow feel it's more likely there's some bulls*** going on behind the scenes. And I'm not saying he bribed them or there's skullduggery going on, just that they might be looking for a very different Barry Allen than the one from the comics, which Ezra fit. In other words: We might be looking at Ezra and going, "He doesn't look anything like the Barry Allen we know!" And DC is looking at him and going, "He looks exactly like the Barry Allen we want!"

at first I didn't like the idea of him being the flash but he's really enthusiastic about and willing to give it 110%

he could do a really great job and nothing CGI, makeup, costuming and special effects can't change....the acting is fine

Ok the acting like Barry I'll excuse because I haven't seen him perform yet so that I'll give you but everything else I'm right he doesn't fit the flash role at all

Barry hasn't even appeared in the MOS universe yet, how do you know how Barry acts? He could be a stone could killer or a wuss if the writer decides that's his character.

Based on your ignorant rant, I'm going to guess you've never even seen Ezra act.

Once you said that Green Lantern movie made you cry, I assume you are very young so I'll take it light if you and understand that everyone need time to mature.

I'll only say that Grant Gustin is a bad actor, the only good character in DC series is Joe West that's why Grant is doing the series and not the film.

Just relax, it'll take year for Flash appear on DCCU. The same thing was said about Affleck and now everybody is hyped about it.

Ezra is a great actor and will make a great Flash. Argubly DCs best casting after Affleck and Leto

This. I think the main reason people keep whining about Miller is because they Google him (instead of actually watching his movies) see he sometimes wears make up and get bent out of shape. I've said it before, Talent>>>>looks.

The looks argument is beyond old for me for anyone. Do people not know this is hollywood we're talking about? They have some of the greatest costume and make up artists in the world.

They made Charlize Theron ugly FFS! If they can do that they can do anything

And honestly, it won't take that much. A haircut and thats it. Rumor has it he will be brunette in the movie, which means the JL will have a whole mess of dark hairs.

It is possible for gay men can play heterosexual characters, believe it or not.

@vinomonster: Hes not straight. I cant remember what word he used but in an interview he stated he has no preference and just likes people. So basically hes willing to date anyone.

Also to the OP, thats just a hatefull comment and FYI gay actors have done straight roles, very good ones too.

I was going to make a point of his face, but at that angle he looks just right. As to his acting, his range is insane.

It's almost as if people can't act as a person they're not and play a different role.

This.

Honestly Grant looks nothing lik Barry....at all I let it pass because its the TV show. I would of preferred movie Barry be casted from somebody with a good amount of bulk and age but I can't deny his acting skill overshadows those. I'll wait till we get the official look of him as barry/Flash. Honestly my only problem is the same with Gustin. He's too small.

While acting is a priority as it is a movie, my main beef is that DC seems to hate blondes. I mean, they're obviously trying to push diversity but honestly race isn't the things that diversity is about. But looks are just bonuses as once again, it is a movie and these actors are mainly acting like someone your not.. not necessarily looking like someone they're not.

Oh and Ezra's just a dark brunette to whoever said that his hair will be brown in the movie.

This is what people said about Ben Affleck and now everyone (generalizing) just loves how he looks. This is what people said about Gal Gadot and now no one really cares anymore.
