Every so often, DCU co-head and Superman director, James Gunn, dares to battle against the waves of fandom in order to set the record straight. Whether it's squashing rumors that have gone viral or addressing fans' demands about the franchise's future, he’s a director who’s happy to get involved in the conversation and stop it when things go too far.
One such incident recently involved more flames being fanned over the possibility of Grant Gustin reprising his role as The Flash after photos surfaced of him with blonde hair. The color change was enough for fans to put two and two together to make five and deem that he was carrying a more comic-book-accurate Barry Allen look. One fan reacted to the development on Threads, saying, “If Grant Gustin is not The Flash of the DCU, we will riot, if it’s Elliot Page…. You hate Flash fans even more. #gustinornothin.”
