'Isn't he suppose to be in jail?': DC fans slam Ezra Miller as 'The Flash's poster released

'The Flash' starring Ezra Miller and Michael Keaton is set to hit the big screens this June

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The controversy around DC is unlikely to end anytime soon. The recent topic to be subjected to fans' backlash comes with the release of the official poster of the upcoming movie 'The Flash'. The Ezra Miller starrer has been clouded in controversies ever since multiple allegations including drug usage, disorderly conduct and sexual harassment have surfaced against the actor. This started a huge backlash against the actor, with many fans even wanting to replace Miller's Flash with Grant Gustin (Gustin plays 'The Flash' in CW's series 'The Flash'). However, DC is taking the backlash on its chin and gearing up for the release of the movie.

Apart from Miller, 'The Flash' also stars Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen, Ron Livingston as Henry Allen, Antje Traue as Faora-UI, Sasha Calle as Supergirl and Kiersey Clemons as Iris West. The movie also sees some stars reprising their roles, including Michael Keaton as Batman, Ben Affleck as Batman and Michael Shannon as General Zod.
