DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

Now, in a striking example of life imitating art, recent revelations about actors who have appeared in superhero films—from Amber Heard in DC's Aquaman to Ezra Miller in The Flash—have alerted the pay-per-view public to the fact that people drawn to the entertainment industry may be more likely than other people to have personality defects.

But entertainers by their nature are strange people— that's why exceptions to the rule such as Tom Hanks stand out so—who seek mass love because the regular one-to-one kind just can't fill the void within. This being the case, it's somewhat unrealistic and prissy to demand moral purity from actors, even those who play superheroes.

12-Year-Old Granted Order of Protection Against Ezra Miller

The Daily Beast spoke with the alleged victim—a 12-year-old nonbinary child—their mother, and their neighbor, who all described the night “The Flash” star allegedly menaced them.

On Wednesday, a mother and her 12-year-old child traveled to their local courthouse in Greenfield, Massachusetts, and were granted a temporary harassment prevention order against Ezra Miller after alleging that the actor menaced their family one evening in their downstairs neighbor’s home and acted inappropriately toward the nonbinary youngster.

The news comes on the heels of a number of other disturbing allegations that have surfaced against the 29-year-old, best known for their turn as The Flash in Justice League. (Miller is also nonbinary).

Last week, the parents of 18-year-old environmental activist Tokata Iron Eyes requested that a court issue a protective order against Miller, stating in court documents that the actor met Tokata six years ago when they were 12 and Miller was 23, and that “Ezra uses violence, intimidation, threat of violence, fear, paranoia, delusions, and drugs to hold sway over a young adolescent Tokata.”

Tensions began brewing when the mother says she mentioned doing some traveling recently with “her tribe” of people, leading Miller to snap at her and accuse her of cultural appropriation. Then, a conversation about board games allegedly went sideways when, after Miller claimed that the board game Parcheesi had Rastafarian roots, the visiting neighbor—who is half-Black—questioned Miller as to which sect of the Rastafari movement it originated from.

“At this point, Ezra explodes and started screaming directly into my face,” the visiting neighbor tells me. “They said, ‘You don’t even know what the fuck you’re talking about. What did you say to me? What did you just say to me?!’”

“I was very caught off-guard,” the visiting neighbor continues. “Then they opened up their jacket—they had this, like, big Sherpa jacket—and they opened up one side of their jacket, you could see a gun, and they said, ‘Talking like that could get you into a really serious situation.’”

Next, according to the visiting neighbor, the mother, and the child, Miller focused their attention on the then-11-year-old, saying, “I’ve talked extensively with your child, and they have a lot of power to them. At one point, you’re going to realize that you don’t have any control over them anymore. They’re an elevated being, and they would be lucky to have someone like me guide them.”

They say Miller proceeded to turn to the mother, who dresses Goth, and accused her of being a witch and a vampire, repeatedly yelling at her, “Do you want to drink my blood? Do you!?”

this is going to get worse. either shelve the Flash film or pay for major reshoots.

Fans Expect Too Much of Stars Like Amber Heard, Ezra Miller

It turns out actors in superhero films aren't always super in real life. But if we become too prissy about stars' behavior, there will be no one left to cast.

Right, it's definitely an impossible standard of moral purity and not Heard and Ezra being just completely shitty human beings.

So the plot thickens..

this has to be the thing that gets Flash scuttled or recasted. right??? right???????????

Rolling Stone picked it up. That should be the end of the Flash movie if they can't regain control of the narrative.

Publishing the comparisons to R Kelly-- whoever made the comparison doesn't matter.

Publishing the words, and not being able to intervene on Ezra Miller's behalf is a huge PR failure.



The R Kelly comparison alone should be enough to completely shelve the Flash movie. Assocating the lead of a DC movie with a sex trafficker is a problem.

its obvious the studio cant rein him in or they cant even get a hold of him. basically its a Charlie Sheen situation. dude has gone full psycho cult leader and that always ends in death, multiple deaths. if next week they dont announce they are scuttling the film or going to nut up and replace him with a a new actor with major reshoots, then this is going to be a massive disaster for the DCEU. they can kiss that shit goodbye. i seriously doubt they will destroy everything for this fucking freak. but stranger things have happened. they can eat whatever suicides or murders that come with this Ezra Miller situation playing out and watch their 100 year old franchise fade away. lets see what these retards do. it may already be too late and he's popped off or someone else.

Never understood the name of that band "Better Than Ezra" till now.

That last one looks like Johnny Depp in Dark Shadows.

Is it done filming?

Assuming no further escalations, they will probably just dump it on HBO Max, and have the last time he enters the speed force, when it ends, a new actor pops out and the Flash Point ends with us having a new flash, them probably save more money taking the theatrical hit than refilming the whole thing and have a new actor going forward.
