If the rumors that have swirled on Twitter are indeed true, then we might not see Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck suiting up as Superman and Batman again. Reports have suggested that both actors have been phased out of the DC Universe after social media comments from insiders who caught an early cut of the upcoming film, 'The Flash' starring Ezra Miller as the speedster. Grace Randolph, a film critic tweeted a string of thoughts saying the film is the final appearance from Affleck and features old footage of Cavill.

There were quite the spoilers coming in as well. He tweeted: "As I’ve told u, w/ update: #TheFlash Batfleck’s final appearance. Old footage of Cavill used on TV. New Justice League formed. Supergirl is the new Superman. Keaton working w/ Black Canary, picks Batgirl as new Batman. This is new DC, let’s be open-minded & give it a fair shot." Dovetailing with Randolph's comments was another Twitter account MyTimeToShineHello that said both the actors were gone and added that Zack Snyder's work would all be erased by the new movie.
