It shouldn't just be about recasting Ezra. The question should be, what are the nature of things in the production process and arena? Is it one that requires a recast or not? If the nature of things requires recasting, then they should do it but if the if doesn't, they should let him be the Flash in the film and then recast him for future projects.

For example, if they're done shooting and there's no plan for a reshoot, why should they recast Miller and shoot his scene with the new actor? That will just be unnecessary waste of time, energy, resources and money. In such a case, they should just go with him as the Flash and recast him for future projects.

But if it's a case where they're not done with the movie or they have plans for intensive reshoot, not just any kind of reshoot but intensive one, then they can or should recast him.

So everything boils down to the nature of things in the production process and arena. It's not just something we can just say they should recast or not.

That’s like reshooting the whole of the movie when filming is already completed. They can just recast his role if there is going to be a sequel.

pu7pl3:
if the film is almost completed I think they should use a double and then somehow recast him for future films

pu7pl3:
They probably want him to bring his own audience

So because someone left means Geff should also leave just for the sake of leaving. The person tha left, do we know the circumstances that sorrounds the person leaving.

If Geff is doing a good Job with his position, why change him? Leave the modafvcker there in the comic division and restrict his power and influence in WB, DC Entertainment and DC Films, shikina.

As I've earlier said, there's more than enough room in WM/WB/DC for as many as.

Keep your assets (Killar, Ann, Hamada, Toby and Geff). Restore eliminated or lost assets (Snyder and Nolan). Acquire new assets. That's the smart move, one I expect Zaslav to make.

I heard Nightwing will be in batgirl and would be played by Dylan O'Brien

Where is it written that the only way to give someone a chance is to eliminate the current person.

WM/WB/DC is massive and can accommodate as many that wants and should be part of the system. You just want Geff out not because he should be out but because you just want him out which is due to the whole Snyder drama. So everything boils down to sentiments.

So instead of eliminating Geff, why don't you keep him and bring back Snyder. Don't you think both brains are needed. Why using those brains, more brains should be added. WM/WB/DC is big enough to accommodate as many as.

As I've stated, keep your assets, restore eliminated asses and expand your assets portfolio by bringing in new ones. That's a wise move rather than just eliminating people.

Also, managerial style doesn't change when you change your management rather managerial style changes due to change in the management vision and style of the head manager. You can change management and the managerial style will still be the same and you can keep your management and still change your managerial style. Why? Because change in managerial style is not dependant on the management personnel's but the vision and management style of the head manager which in this case is the CEO or President.

So you see, the change in management style will be determined by Zaslav's vision and management style and not whether he changes management or not. He is the determining factor here, not the management.

Instead of going on a house cleaning rampage, the smart thing to do is to keep the assets, bring back eliminated assets and acquire new assets.

So what I expect Zaslav to do is acquire new assets, bring back Nolan and Snyder and keep Ann, Killar, Toby, Hamada and Geff.

Under the leadership of Ann and Killar who took over in 2019 and 2020 respectively, WM/ WB made revenues of $30.4B and $35.6B in 2020 and 2021 respectively despite covid-19 and controversies, not only that, they also went on to win multiple Oscars and major awards (WB won seven fvcking Oscars in Oscars 2022, with Dune winning six and will Smith in King Richard winning one). We shouldn't also forget the tremendous growth of HBO MAX in just one year (from less than 20M subscribers in Jan 2021 to 73.8M subscribers at the end of 2021). What about the new shared universe franchises (Dune Universe, Mortal Kombat Universe and The Batman Universe) that have been launched.

Killar and Ann, I must say have done good jobs in WM/ WB despite all the controversies and covid-19. Are these the people Zaslav wants to sack? Instead of sacking them, why don't you keep them, acquire more assets and restore the eliminated or lost ones e.g Nolan and Snyder.

Geff, as I've always said and will continue to say should be left in the comic division and his power and influence should be restricted in WB, DC Entertainment and DC Films.

All these are what I expect Zaslav to do and not to go about sacking. Him choosing to sack, to me, is not a good move, not at all. I just hope it doesn't backfire.

Between eliminating an asset and keeping him while getting new ones, which one is the smart choice? The latter. Keep your assets and Increase your asset portfolio, that's the principle that governs corporations.

Besides, is there any thing in space and time that stops WB from acquiring more assets while keeping John? Nope. Is there any law that states that the only way to get more assets is to eliminate the current ones which in this case are Geff,Kilar and Ann? Nope. So why do people think that's the way to go

Someone will be tempted to bring up the Snyder's saga but before anyone think of even doing that, ask yourself this simple question, do you cut off your head simply because you're having an headache? You don't.
So is it smart for WB to eliminate an asset simply because they stupidly eliminated one (Snyder)? Definitely not. If anyone thinks otherwise, then that person is just being emotional. You should be thinking of bringing the eliminated assets back instead of eliminating the current ones all in the name of giving others a chance.
The smart thing to do is bring back the eliminated assets, keep the current assets while expanding the asset base by bringing in new ones. That's what Zaslav should do instead of sacking people anyhow. This are people that have successfully run the company amidst controversies and covid-19. This so called house cleaning isn't a smart move at all.

As for Geff, I've stated it before, keep him in the comics division but restrict his power in DC entertainment, DC films and WB. He's an asset.

They shouldn't sack this guys, to me they're like assets and they've done a good job ever since they took over in 2019 despite the covid-19 and controversies;
*HBO MAX have grown and is growing.
*WB films has been winning Oscars and other major awards.
*WM/WB has been making huge revenue despite covid-19.
*They're resetting the DCEU.
*They've expanded the DC film and animation multiverse.
*They've established additional shared universe franchises; Dune Universe, Mortal Kombat Universe, MonsterVerse.

They're not the one that made a mess of thing's, they're only trying to fix things and fixing things takes time especially in a mega corporation. It's not something that just occur overnight. We should also not forget, covid-19 caused delays in movie release otherwise we would been seeing the Rebooted DCEU now since Flash was initially slated for 2021 release but lots of movies had to be moved thanks to the pandemic.

If David Zaslav knows what he's doing he better keep those guys and rather work with them. Their achievements in the past three years are commendable.

As for Geff John, that guy is an asset, they better not let him go before the competitors get their hands on him. They should keep him in the comic division and restrict his power in DC entertainment, DC films and WB.

Will Smith can’t be cancelled for that, what he did was extreme but not that controversial.

SMUAG:
Bro, I no dey surprise o....there's nothing WB execs can't do...lolz

SMUAG:
I don't think the runtime affects its box office numbers. Reducing its time might make the movie disjointed and convoluted for better storytelling.
The number is perfect for a start, WB just needs to allow the director to continue his good work by not making (those their) panic decisions along the line.

TheKingIsHere:
The Batman would have made more if its run time wasn't too loongg

SMUAG:
Oga, pure lie! TWD season 1started with just six episodes.. It's only 10 and 11 seasons that got to 20plus and we all know the season finale is made up of two seasons that's why it's that long.

SMUAG:
And that is one major problem with CW shows. Good series/shows don't need to go that far, just make it.....maybe 8 and then up the budget quality sells more than quantity on things like this. The guy playing Superman/Clark Kent is doing a fantastic job, all they need is just to pump in more quality and watch how people will flock in for this show every Tuesday/Wednesday.
Series like The Walking Dead started with fewer episodes and with much quality and it became an instant hit globally, but they derailed from most of what made the show so big as they progress.

TonySpike:
It was only a matter of time before Superman and Lois becomes fully CW-style. I am not surprised even though I haven't started watching season 2. But the tell-tale signs were already visible in Season 1 though.

abduleez1:
15 episodes.... Omo this one long oo.
Me wey still dey episode 5, season 1.

SMUAG:
Some of dis WB DC projects dem dey taya me like mad.... Which kind Wonder Twins b this one na...
Now Superman and Lois is fully going CWsque. Poor storytelling that is no different from The Flash (now), weak fight choreography, and overall too many episodes for a season. Make it like six or seven episodes and still invest the same budget for those many episodes for the six or seven.

Only the first Episode of Moon Knight you can easily tell you are in for a treat...

But, when it's time to donate to developing countries, You see Africans receiving huge amount from EU, Ungrateful people. Time has come for the world to end the war in Europe and avert WW3 through economic isolation of Russia, Africans are now bringing out useless sense they couldn't use to develop.

African idiots hating US is just doing so out of Jealousy. US is more organized and ahead of most Black African countries and nothing Pigs can do about it unless the start voting like people that really wants to develop
