That would be an incredibly stupid reason NOT to use him because the two characters are nothing alike aside from the fact that they're cold themed super-villains.

Also, you're not giving the general audience enough credit if you seriously think they'd be confused.

When I was a kid seeing reruns of the old 70's Superfriends show on Cartoon Network back in the 90's, I thought Captain Cold in that show was Mr. Freeze. All the designs of the villains in the show looked outdated and old compared to B:TAS which I was watching at the same time, so I just thought it was an older design for the same character.

Cartoon Network used to air all those old 70's Superfriends cartoons, and all the villains in the show barely said their names.

I could care less about your childhood memories, Cubed. Still doesn't prove your point.

Cold is a well known villain in Flash lore, and has become even more popular thanks to the recent live action shows. You're deluding yourself if you seriously think WB isn't gonna put him in a live action Flash movie starring the Rogues just because a few dim wits will confuse him with Mr.Freeze.

Yes, but don't you also wear a bicycle helmet indoors? So there are extenuating circumstances, to say the least.

A lot of casuals don't know the characters.

For a more recent example, look at the character Plasmus in the 2003 Teen Titans cartoon. Some casuals thought he was Clayface, simply because they're both shape-shifting clay monsters. I remember seeing people say it in the review threads on various forums when the ep aired for the first time way back in 2003.

People are not as well versed in comic lore as you think.

So what? They watch it, they learn stuff, they enjoy it or they don't.

But the similarity of Cold and Freeze (namely, cold guns) is a legitimate concern. If they move ahead with Cold, we shouldn't expect to see Dr. Victor Fries anytime soon.

Billy Crudup who played Dr. Manhattan in "The Watchmen" has been cast as Henry Allen!

So, The Comedian is Bruce's dad while Dr. Manhattan is Barry's dad. Then there's the fact that The Watchmen are essentially responsible for all the crap that's been going on in the DC comics the last couple years...

That's right, Famuyiwa has left the building.

Warner Brothers... WE DON'T NEED THIS MOVIE. There is very little audience appeal when we're all pretty much stoked and satisfied with the CW show.

Plus, that JL trailer didn't do anything to make me LIKE this version. He was just so quirky. And not in an endearing way, but in a, "stop bothering me and go play your video games you nerd" kind of way.

It was... well, it was a different take that MIGHT work. But honestly, he struck me as a better Tim Drake than Barry Allen. Quirky, brilliant, super-in-awe of the Batman...

Yeah, he'd make a good Tim Drake.

That's unfortunate, usually WB is all about letting its directors do whatever they want, but looks like his vision didn't go well with WB's take.

not true Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad say otherwise.

WB sucks at letting directors do what they want.
If even half the rumors surrounding Suicide Squad's development are true, then Ayer's balls were being squeezed pretty tightly.
Meanwhile Snyder's involvement is being downsized as much as possible after a lukewarm MoS and a polarizing BvS (though I agree with WB on this one).
The most despicable example is of course Peter Jackson being whipped like a mule all through 'The Hobbit'. F*ck WB.

Exactly. The only directors WB let have their own vision were Chris Nolan and Zach Snyder. Everything else is now a mad shuffle to revamp their gameplan.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I don't even get why they trusted Snyder. What did he ever do that was so great? Nolan has a cult following; does Snyder?

For starters, he did a cut of Batman v Superman that was way better then the theatrical version, WB were responsible for the theatrical cut of the movie getting a lot of backlash, then him released the extended cut that made the movie better.

I loved Man of Steel. Instead of soiling their shorts at some whining and going with Batman V Superman, they shoulda played the long game and kept to their vision.

They've had so many revisions to their gameplan in such a short amount of time, it's just depressing.

A page one rewrite of the script is now required

I feel like by the time they're ready to start filming this thing, the DCEU won't even exist anymore. Or it will have exclusively become the Harley Quinn cinematic universe.
