And I do think they're a bit gun shy on anything being dark or perceived to be right now. Right or wrong they've chosen a direction and probably don't want any product that goes against that.

Im generally worried about the new direction.

I would wait until WW comes out to see what the new team does. I mean the first WW director wanted WW to be a Braveheart flick with Diana and the Amazons chopping off heads and limbs with a talking tiger sidekick 
but Geoff and co have been writing all the new films except for The Flash so it kinda makes sense. Plus he's probably the best person to write Barry.

They obviously are shook by the constant whining from people about how "dark" their movies have been and want to try and avoid that label at any cost. If that is the case then they should just give the director gig to Kevin Smith.
The episode of The Flash TV series was well done and as long as Smith isn't responsible for writing it he can be a really good director for hire.

may as well give it to Berlanti and keep it moving
Its crazy but Greg Berlanti actually only has 3 directing credits to his name.
Two romantic comedies and the pilot for that USA mini-series Political Animals.
He has written and produced a ton of shyt but isn't a very prolific director.
I fukked with political animals. And I still say give it to him. He's been steering the ship for 3 years and clearly knows the character and seems to have the tone they're going for. Not saying I wouldn't want them to find someone else if possible but they're kinda swimming upstream at this point if they keep ignoring what's right in front of their faces.
He is supposed to be directing the Booster Gold movie though. I wonder if he would even have the time with his writing/EP and developing of the Booster movie going on.
I'm sure they'd make it work. He's got a second in command on the CW shows and I'm sure he trusts his writers and his staff to handle shyt if he needs to bounce for whatever reason.

I've always been of the mind that studios and networks know what they want from the very beginning, and all they're looking for is a steward who:
A. Has a vision similar enough to the one the studio had from the outset, or
B. Is "weak" enough to have their vision hammered and beaten into the shape that the studio will be comfortable with.
Knowing nothing about this situation, but seeing the outcome, I would guess this situation was more B than A.
They probably saw Rick as someone who'd be grateful enough with the shot to have his original vision moulded into their image, and when he bucked, they bucked back, and now they've "mutually parted ways".

Naw...don't need them rushing that movie...that has to be a hit critically.
Legit disappointed with this news.
A talented black director would have given his take on such a well known character. Just a damn shame.

Geoff Johns stepped in
.......
I hope dude knows what he's doing. He seems to be involved writing most of the other DC films..

Suicide squad did way too well for them to try something more darker/different or with little more edge
