However, DC and Warner Bros. Pictures chose to cast Ezra Miller (The Perks of Being a Wallflower) as Barry Allen in the DCEU, keeping their TV and film worlds apart.
Despite the semi-explicit separation of DC’s live-action realms, many fans were hopeful that the CW’s Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) would zoom into the DCEU as well.
Much to the delight of fans, though, Miller not only embraced his lightning fast character but also his television alter-ego.
The Scarlet Speedster has always been a staple character in the DC Universe.
