The Flash was one of the most anticipated movies for multiple reasons before it hit the theatres. Good, bad, ugly, any reason; the movie was trending everywhere but that did not reflect at the box office at all. Shaped like a proper event film, it has almost the entire (then) existing DCEU in it and everyone was fighting the race against time travelling. While every possible big name associated with the DC wing was involved, the stakes rose much higher when the world realised Nicolas Cage was playing Superman. Tim Burton now reacts quite bluntly to it.
To give you a quick recap, Tim Burton was making Superman Lives, a version of the Kryptonian Prince in the late 1990s. For the same, he hired Cage, who then had even screen tested, and the pictures are all over the internet already. However, the fate wasn’t on the filmmaker’s side, and the movie never got made. Two decades later, WB decided to use the actor in The Flash.
Now, as Tim Burton has moved on from Superman Lives, the filmmaker is talking about Warner Bros. using his Superman Nicolas Cage and Batman Michael Keaton in The Flash. The filmmaker has a very harsh opinion and feels that the studio ended up culturally misappropriating both iconic figures. Read on to know everything you should about the same.
