Kiersey Clemons is excited to be making her DC Extended Universe debut as Iris West in the upcoming Justice League film, but she’s made a conscious decision to avoid the other live-action Iris West; portrayed by Candice Patton in The CW’s The Flash TV series.
And while Clemons may be unaware or too diplomatic to say it, Patton’s Iris West has long been considered one of The Flash TV show’s weak links.
I saw a little bit of [The Flash TV show] before I did [Justice League].
If The Flash solo film is going to succeed, it’s going to need to differentiate itself from the TV series in bold ways.
