I think folk are really overhyping Flashpoint
They wouldnt hedge a reboot soft or otherwise on a Flash film...its just taking the name and some story beats lol
They need to recast Batman already and greenlight MoS 2. From there the DCEU can begin healing
Yeah I think people expecting Flashpoint to be a full blown reset of the universe are going to be disappointed. More likely they're just gonna use the name to drive up hype for the film, since it's probably The Flash's most famous story.
And honestly, I don't see the point of a reboot. Like, what exactly are we rebooting? Actors? You can recast without it; even the MCU has done it a couple times. Plot points? Look, I know people love "The Death of Superman" and Doomsday's "bargain bin Hulk" ass, but it's not worth it to reboot just to do that story later. Right now, they have a universe with an active Justice League who have been exposed to Apokolips, an active Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad, Joker, Luthor, and Deathstroke all the mix, and by the end of this year, they'll also have Aquaman's lore to play with. They've got more than enough players on the board to salvage this without unending the table and starting over.
And even if they did start over, it's not gonna be the clean slate people want. Like, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman aint going nowhere. Same with Aquaman if that movie hits.
