To go along with WB/DC's massive news dump today, we have word on who will be playing The Flash in the DCCU. Sadly, it won't be Grant Gustin. Instead, it will be Ezra Miller. I did a little bit of research and the kid is only 22, so that can be good for locking him up to a long term contract. My problem with him is that he doesn't look the part. He looks like a small gust of wind would knock him down. Warner Bros seems to be looking for quality actors, rather than actors that match the look, so I reckon that is a good thing. The Hollywood Reporter said that the film will center on Barry Allen, but it wasn't clear to me whether they are talking about the movie or the character. Hopefully if the movie version is Barry Allen, Miller will put on some muscle and clean his look up to match Barry better. Even though this casting was met with the usual sigh about WB casting choices, I will continue to have faith until they deliver a crappy product. What do you think of this casting?
