Warner Bros. released the full trailer for The Flash during the Super Bowl even though Ezra Miller has not earned any public forgiveness.

Hollywood likes to think that people have amnesia, that we won’t forget actors in the news for bad reasons. There are those of us that are not looking forward to this film solely because of Miller. It is the honest truth. Where is Grant Gustin when we need him? Even his Flash is ending long past the expiration date.

I’m sorry but not even the return of Michael Keaton is enough to excite me about this film. Reminder, Warner Bros. cancelled Batgirl and went full-speed ahead on this film even though its lead has substantial legal issues. Racism and transphobia almost certainly played a role in Batgirl receiving low test scores. Batgirl‘s test scores were no lower than other DC films that went on to be released.

If this were any other film with any other lead, I would probably embed the trailer. However, watching the trailer isn’t enough to get me excited for the film. Ezra Miller needs to do a lot of work before I’m to ever get excited for one of their films in the near future. Look at how many years it took for Robert Downey Jr. and Winona Ryder to make their comebacks after drug addictions and shoplifting, respectively. Miller’s career seemingly gets to continue just like that. Miller’s crimes would get anyone else fired in another job setting. Again, why is it that we do not get to see Batgirl while Warner Bros. is going ahead with releasing The Flash? It is not fair.

There are other films coming out this year to get excited about. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is at the top of my list. Hell, I would watch Steve Martin and Ben Stiller do a film together after their Pepsi Zero Sugar commercial.
