How the fuck does any of this tie into Flashpoint?

>Dr Light
lmaoooo

They're just using the Flashpoint name because Johns wants royalties off his shit comic, which is also why they very quickly did an animated Flashpoint movie and had an important Flash show episode named after it too.
And wouldn't you know it, the Flashpoint comic is now one of the better selling comics at DC.

It's clearly an old draft, from before it became FLASHPOINT.

>flashpoint
>Dr light is the main villain
This don't make any sense at all, this shit is fake ins't it?

>using Flashpoint
>using Flashpoint this early in Flash’s career
>not even using the best part that everyone loved (pic related)
I can only hope this will only remain an early draft and they’ll change it later on so it will actually be at least decent

>Doctor Light main villain
>Captain Cold and Heat Wave are secondary antagonists
>Further shitting on The Rogues
How about they go fuck themselves?

Batdad was literally the only part of this whole event everyone liked, if you take it away then this whole thing is doomed

But DCEU Batman, is Batdad in all but name. Batdad worked because it was a contrast to mainline Bruce. But Snyder doesn't understand contrast. Eg Superman and Batman are supposed to be different.

>Doctor Light

Ie Iris gonna get raped?

>Cold & Heatwave
>Caitlin Snow

So they're just aping the TV show?

yeah, they need to re-title this

They are different in BvS...
Bats regaining his humanity from an alien is the whole point.

"Flashpoint" or not, Doctor Light is a lame choice for the main villain.

>Spotlighting a literal racist

It's like they're asking to be marred by controversy.

>Doctor Light is the main villain

what the fuck

>Flash's first movie
>The same Flash who's barely had a backstory in JL
>Trying to cover Nora's murder, the Rogues, Johnny Quick, featuring Caitlin, and then adding Cyborg and Doctor Light

This looks like a bigger fucking disaster than Spider-Man 3 was.

SM3 wasn't a "disaster" it just wasn't as perfect as the first two.

Doctor light has cool powers I don’t know why you guys are complaining

Johnny Quick probably won't be a speedster.

What the fuck does any of this have to do with Flashpoint? Seriously, Doctor fucking Light?

>The movie will have a budget of over $100 million and will require an extensive post-production period throughout 2019.
There is no way this movie is going to make its money back.

100 million isn't that large of a budget.

You also have to factor in the inevitable reshoots and director jumps that DC seems to fucking court all the time.

Yeah, it will probably be north of $200 million when you include advertising.

Sounds like they are abandoning Flashpoint.

This literaly says an old draft from before tge new directors were hired.
Its literally them smashing up the old script that became the tv show and the other script rumors.
