I’m Convinced There Is No Better DCU Flash Than Grant Gustin & He Could Save The Character After DCEU Movie Disappointment

:0:1

The Arrowverse"s Grant Gustin is the best actor to make The Flash popular in the new DC Universe after the speedster"s first movie bombed at the box office. A lot of expectations were created surrounding Ezra Miller"s The Flash. I was excited to see what the movie could do, as it was the first time that the speedster had a film to call his own. While I mostly enjoyed The Flash and think it has Miller"s best performance as Barry Allen, there were clear issues with the DCEU movie, and it was no surprise that it bombed.
The Flash grossed $271.4 million on a reported $200 million budget, making it one of the biggest failures in superhero movie history. That was not good for the Flash"s name with the general audience. While Miller"s take on the character was far from beloved, audiences flocked to Grant Gustin"s Barry Allen, who graced the small screens for nine seasons of The Flash. I"m a big fan of what Gustin did with the character in the Arrowverse. After some recent comments about The Flash movie and the character"s future in upcoming DCU projects, I think Gustin could save Barry Allen.
The DCU Has No Plans For The Flash At The Moment Barry Allen's Movie Return Is In Limbo Close After The Flash failed alongside other 2023 DCEU movies, it was revealed that the cast of the franchise"s Justice League would all leave their roles. Henry Cavill was the first to be recast, with David Corenswet now playing Superman. Jason Momoa has left Aquaman behind in favor of playing Lobo, but there has been no word on who will play Arthur Curry or the other members of the DCEU Justice League now in the DCU. I have been wondering about the Flash"s movie future since his film bombed, as other characters have had future teases while he has nothing.
I recently understood why that is the case, as James Gunn has no DCU plans for the Flash right now. On Threads (via Noobmastter-3000/Reddit), Gunn said they are "holding a beat on development" of the Flash in the DCU. 2023"s The Flash failed so spectacularly that DC is now cautious about using the character in films, which I"m not happy about. The Flash director Andy Muschietti also made some recent comments about the film"s failure, suggesting the Flash is just not a character people like. I"m fiercely against that opinion, as the Flash can and should work in live-action.
Grant Gustin’s 10-Year Run As Barry Allen Shows The Flash Works In Live-Action The Arrowverse Was Better Than The Old DCEU In Every Way Close While Muschietti"s The Flash might have failed with Ezra Miller as Barry Allen, the Arrowverse showed just how successful the character can be in live-action. Over nine seasons, multiple crossover events, and more Arrowverse appearances, Grant Gustin cemented himself as the definitive live-action Flash in the eyes of many. I was a fan of Gustin"s Barry Allen from the moment he debuted. Appearing as a guest star in two episodes of Arrow, Gustin made Barry incredibly charismatic, funny, and a character worth following, even though he did not have powers yet. His acting in the role was fantastic.
