Is it really the stars who lost millions to the studios, of the movie’s box office performance? The way I see it, you can’t really blame it all on the stars in the leading role. Because I can tell you right now; even if Ezra Miller Didn’t have any legal problems, The Flash would have bombed in the box office, just like Green Lantern. Green Lantern was a poor written script, and The Flash was a half ass written adaptation of the flashpoint comic. The difference: the writers in Green Lantern really fucked up the script that Ryan Reynolds was never gonna take take that superhero film across the gold line. And I’m pretty sure all fighter pilots hated that movie, and prefer top gun ever since. And the writers for The Flash, shouldn’t have adapted the flashpoint storyline-and that’s because you do not adapt a storyline like the flashpoint comic in a 144 minute runtime. If the flash had a longer run time the writers could’ve had a chance of not writing something with little effort or care. So I wouldn’t blame it all on the lead especially if it was poor casting or poor writing. The only thing the lead can do to screw up is loosing their own investors that invested in them.
