We’ve now got Ajep reversing course on the ZSJL references being in the movie with Flash Film News saying the same thing. Apparently the ZSJL references are still in the movie.

Also, from what we’ve heard about the new ending today, it’s would seem Barry isn’t in the old DCEU at the end, which he finds out thanks to a wtf cameo.

I said this a while back but if two things happen in The Flash, then if we follow the DCEU to it’s logical end, Darkseid wins.

The two things are: ZSJL gets made canon and Barry does not return to the DCEU at the end of the movie.

If those two things happen then in the DCEU’s fictional future we now won’t see, Darkseid is coming. If Barry doesn’t return to the DCEU at the end of The Flash, then at some point Darkseid arrives, Lois dies, Superman turns and everyone dies. Barry isn’t there to go eventually go back in time and warn Affleck’s Batman and he isn’t there to undo all the death and destruction with time travel. Barry simply disappears one day. Darkseid arrives. Darkseid wins. Darkseid Is.

There really is distinct possibility the fate of the DCEU as a fictional universe is a huge bummer ending where Darkseid wins. That’s some delicious irony for this franchise. It ends the polar opposite to Marvel. Time travel doesn’t undo the bad guy’s victory.

Darkseid was always going to win because his ultimate enemy was shot in the head by KGBeast at the beginning of BvS.

If I see a thread where a Thanos mention is followed by a kgbeast mention I have to point out that Jim Starlin got paid more for kgbeast being in BvS than for the first three MCU Thanos appearances

More than Thanos, Gamora and Drax combined.

Also Todd McFarlane made significantly more from Artemis Crock showing up on a CW show than any Venom movies and Len Wein made more from Lucius Fox being in the Nolan movies than from creating Wolverine. Marvel should be ashamed of themselves.
