The Flash started filming in April 2021 and Ezra choked that fan in April 2020 so it’s not like Warner Bros didn’t have time to recast before the film went into production. Instead they tried to sweep stuff under the rug and hide it when they should’ve addressed it head on.

So now that WB is supposedly taking action abt Ezra Miller, can they just bring in Grant Gustin as the DCEU Flash? He deserves better writing.
