    The New Trailer For "The Flash" Has Fans Extremely Divided Over Supporting The Film And Its Star, Ezra Miller

    From conversations around separating art from the artist, to whether or not cancel culture actually exists, fans of The Flash are more divided than ever.

    During the Super Bowl on Sunday night, a new trailer for the DC Comics film The Flash hit the airwaves and caused quite a stir on the internet.

    The new movie is set to bring Michael Keaton back as the Batman we knew and loved from the 1989 cinematic classic Batman.

    And it will also bring Sasha Calle's Supergirl into the DCU.

    I think it's safe to say she already has a major fanbase just from the trailer alone.

    But the excitement surrounding this summer sure-to-be blockbuster has been a bit dampened for some by the film's star, Ezra Miller.

    They have been at the center of ongoing controversy during the past year, following two arrests and multiple allegations of inappropriate behavior ranging from assault and harassment to burglary and grooming minors.

    Miller's actions have left many fans conflicted about whether or not they want to support the film by buying a ticket, while others just want to go see a movie they've been excited about for years. All of this has led to conversations online about separating art from the artist and whether or not cancel culture actually exists.

    Here's what Twitter had to say:

    These fans were very much not on board with the film getting released.

    Not to rain on everybody’s parade but it’s kinda weird how many people are ignoring the fact that neither Warner Bros. nor Ezra Miller themself has commented on their two-year-long reign of terror around the world that involved assault, burglary, and kidnapping/grooming minors https://t.co/n5AXq3pRCi

    I don't care how many Batmen you stick in one movie, I'm never going to be able to watch that thing without "remember when Ezra Miller choke slammed a women and groomed minors" at the constant forefront of my mind.
