Daily Dose of Awesome: Ezra Miller Interview

The DC Cinematic Universe has formed something of a rivalry with the Arrowverse.  Nowhere does this manifest itself more than in the presence of 'The Flash' in both universes.  Grant Gustin has gotten wide praise (rightly so) for his portrayal of Barry Allen on the CW TV series, so a lot of people weren't happy when Ezra Miller was cast to play the same character in the movies.

I was unfamiliar with the actor, but as I am more partial to the Arrowverse and haven't been won over by the movie's shared universe yet, I wasn't holding out much hope.  After seeing this, I'm starting to sway ever so slightly.  I'm still not sure how he's going to fare as Barry Allen, but Miller himself certainly isn't lacking in the charisma department.  Dude's likable as hell.

He's clearly excited about the role too.  Granted, that's not an indicator of being able to effectively play a part, but I think it helps (many have said the guy can act too for what it's worth).  If he can harness that enthusiasm, sense of humor, and positive energy and bring it to the role, I think it will do wonders for a franchise that is often criticized as being too "grim dark" and lacking in optimism.
