How much damage is this guy doing to the Barry Allen character?
"The Marvel EIC Chair has a certain curse that goes along with it: it tends to drive people insane, and ultimately, out of the business altogether. It is the notorious last stop for many staffers, as once you've sat in The Big Chair, your pariah status is usually locked in." Christopher Priest
Barely any.
His Barry Allen doesn't have a fanbase. Grant Gustin is way more popular and more associated with Barry.
Barry would be fine. Ezra is unlikely to work in Hollywood and will likely be in jail for their antics.

At this point, I don't care about Barry Allen. I just hope Ezra Miller can either be helped or someone helps him before it's too late.
I still say bring in Wally at the rate things are going.
T'Challa
A.K.A. The Black Panther
King of Wakanda
King of the Dead and The Champion of Bast
Two-Time Time Magazine "Person Of The Year"
Six-Time People Magazine "Sexiest Man Alive"
God I feel sorry for everyone else involved in this film
WBD should just reshoot all of Miller’s scenes. I know it’s going to cost a fortune but if you truly want to protect the DC brand this is the only way.
If they are in fact pulling a "Flashpoint" with this Flash movie, then all of their problems are solved.
Barry wakes up played by a new actor and meets Superman, Batman, and Cyborg, all of whom are played by different actors as well. Gal and Jason can continue to be WW and Aquaman.
Just like in the comic, no one remembers things being any different.
They can then do JL 2 where they fight Darkseid. Since ZSJL isn't canon they haven't fought him yet.
And for added measure, they can make the movie more "woke" by having Darkseid use "they" as their pronoun.
Pro wrestling star Kurt Angle was the same way. WWE offered him help (but also wanted him to stay full-time) and he declined it. His wife had an affair with his boss (they're married), and he eventually became sober. WWE tried many times with Jeff Hardy, he declined and went to AEW. Not too long after... DUI arrest (third time since 2019). Substance abuse (abuse of any kind) is very hard to break, if you refuse you have a problem (and many do admit it, but they can't stop). I don't know where Ezra Miller is mentally, but he's clearly not at the stage where he wants help, or he's struggling with the life of fame. Then we have cases like Elvis Presley whose addiction was so terrible he was too far gone to get any help.
The phrase "it's entirely on Miller" is very loaded. Some are able to get clean. Others swap out one addiction for another (Jeff Hardy comes to mind, he went from pills to alcohol). Substance abuse isn't one-size-fits-all. Nevertheless, I get it. You can only do so much before you can't help them anymore, you need a devoted and strong-willed person to actually stay by their side.
It doesn’t seem like it’s just addiction. Ezra also has some serious mental health issues that are not being addressed. They seem paranoid and have bouts of rage outbursts. not to mention the cult like atmosphere that they try to create. Im no doctor but it sounds like schizophrenia mixed with narcissistic personality disorder.
If it is that situation, they aren’t likely to trust anyone to provide help.
If it’s just going to continue this downward spiral, WBD needs to just release this movie as soon as possible, recast the role, and wash their hands of the situation.
