Grant Morrison claims that The Flash script he and Ezra Miller wrote wasn't darker than what Warner Bros. and DC Films are planning. In March of 2019, news broke out that Miller's days as the Scarlet Speedster were numbered after a creative dispute by the former directors' John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein after the actor allegedly wanted a darker take on the story. This led to him teaming up with Morrison to come up with their own treatment for the movie.
Reports claimed that if Warner Bros. didn't like what Miller came up with, he could be replaced as the titular character in The Flash standalone. The studios ultimately passed on his script, but instead of letting go of the actor, it was Daley and Goldstein who ended up leaving, while Miller retained his role. Now, Morrison is opening up about the whole experience rushing a script for the upcoming DC Films project, saying that the treatment they wrote for The Flash wasn't tonally dark.
Speaking with Collider, the prominent DC Comic's writer revealed that he and Miller hurriedly wrote a script for The Flash last year, which was a lot of fun. He compared their treatment to Back to the Future - even saying that it was more like the '80s cult classic than a superhero film. In the end, he also debunked rumors that they came up with a darker script; instead, there were just dark elements peppered. Morrison also confirmed that Warner Bros. wanted them to mine inspiration from the Flashpoint comic book narrative.
“Yeah, I mean, Ezra Miller and I wrote that last year, but it kind of, you know what it’s like? It was just one of those things we all… Well, I thought we had a really good version of The Flash and we wrote it as fast as The Flash, because it was so demanding, and it was pretty good. And I think after a few drafts, it would have been great. But the way some studios work, these things just come and go. I think about 15 people have already written versions of The Flash. But it does seem to be going ahead now, but not with the version that we did. I had fun. Ezra came over to the house and we just had a real blast and created the story. And maybe one day the script will leak out into the world.”
“Yeah, it was pretty good. I mean, I don’t know what they’re doing with it. But it was pretty good. And it was a very different kind of superhero thing. It was more like Back to the Future, I would say, than a superhero movie.”
“No, it wasn’t [darker] really. I mean, elements of darkness were there and the material that they wanted us to use [was] the Flashpoint stuff. So, Ezra and I were actually trying to do something that was a bit more —like I say, it’s kind of like just a great science-fiction story. And if you don’t know [the comics], it would have made sense. But I have to say, I mean, I don’t want to talk about that, because somebody else has done their own work on it and I’m sure it will be great. And maybe, as I say this will leak out one day and people can judge.”
It's understandable why Morrison doesn't want to get into the specifics of their The Flash script at this point. After multiple delays and creative team replacements, the film seems to be finally making good progress under new director Andy Muschietti with Christina Hodson, who also penned Cathy Yan's Birds of Prey, writing. It appears that Muschietti's take on the movie will also be based on the Flashpoint narrative, as recently confirmed by the director himself. There was also news of Michael Keaton reportedly reprising his role as Tim Burton Batman in the film, which makes the movie so much more intriguing.
If what Morrison and Miller came up with wasn't darker than what Warner Bros. and DC Films are planning for The Flash, it's curious why it was passed on. Granted that the pair didn't have much time to polish the finer details of their work, Miller retaining his role as the Scarlet Speedster could mean that what he and his writing partner came up with wasn't all that bad. Assuming that this was the case, it's curious if it would've worked if they got more time to crack the story or if some ideas from it will eventually make it to Hodson's draft.
