The Flash star Ezra Miller has raced into the spotlight in an attempt to assure Zack Snyder fans that the movie will not erase the so-called Snyder-Verse from canon, debunking several recent rumors. While some supposed leaks have claimed that The Flash will use its multiverse-centered plot to erase the likes of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League from existence, Miller has taken to Instagram to state that this is not the case, and that “No power or force in any known megaverse would or could ever erase Zack Snyder’s mighty wrkz.”

An image of the exchange has made its way onto Reddit, with the actor continuing, “You can take that quote. Take that to the bank, to the press, to the schools, to the military, and the other pillar of capitalism I’m forgetting cause of that thing where you try to think of a group of things you always forget one of them.”

The recent rumor that Ezra Miller has responded to claims that The Flash will act as a soft-reboot of the DC cinematic universe, removing all of the plotlines put in place by Zack Snyder. This would include erasing the likes of Man of Steel, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League from the franchise’s continuity, as well as removing Ben Affleck’s Batman and Henry Cavill’s Superman and replacing them with Michael Keaton’s returning Dark Knight and Sasha Calle’s Supergirl.
Of course, Miller could simply mean something a little more spiritual, and asserting that no force can erase Snyder’s efforts from our collective memories-slash-from the annals of cinematic history, rather than literally removing them from the ongoing DC universe. The comic book movie franchise has seen decidedly mixed results ever since Snyder’s Man of Steel, and there is certainly an argument to made regarding the idea of using The Flash’s messing with the multiverse to essentially start things over again while keeping the elements that have worked.
Directed by Andy Muschietti and written by Christina Hodson from a story by Hodson and the duo of John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, The Flash stars Ezra Miller, Ron Livingston, Michael Keaton, Kiersey Clemons, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Sasha Calle, and Ben Affleck. The Flash is scheduled to be released in the United States on November 4, 2022.
