Perspective: 'The Flash' was supposed to be a superhero movie heavyweight. Instead it's been a box-office disappointment for DC Studios.
starring Grant Gustin in the titular role debuted on the CW. Miller ended up doing a cameo with Gustin during the CW’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover years later, but his casting gave off a vibe of corporate indifference, as if DC was saying “The Flash” television show didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things
— all this despite the goodwill Gustin was building among comic book fans. An awkward approach given “The Flash” series lasted for nine seasons.Zack Snyder was forced to depart production on the film because of a family tragedy, reshoots under Joss Whedon tankedenvisioned the Flash as the Justice League MVP, giving the character a defining end-of-the-movie moment of saving the Justice League and the entire universe single-handedly.
Could multiverse fatigue have played a factor in “The Flash’s” box office returns? Absolutely not. Multiverse fatigue is just something your favorite movie critic likes to say. If that were really a thing, would “Across the Spider-Verse” have jumped back to the No. 1 spot at the box office? Perhaps some in the superhero movie fandom just decided they were going to sit this one out. The combination of Miller’s personal controversies and DC’s lackluster promotion of the film can’t be taken lightly.in Gunn’s “Superman: Legacy” feels like an attempt to muster up some good will in the wake of a disaster. In a world where “The Flash” is a box office hit, that decision probably wouldn’t be announced for several more months.moment for DC.
