DC Universe is in dire straits with two of its major stars Ezra Miller and Amber Heard compounded by legal woes. Not just does it threaten their future in the DCEU, but it also risks crumbling down all the hard work the franchise has put in over the last couple of years. Earlier this week, rumor mills churned out reports that Heard was reportedly out of 'Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom' following the public defamation trial where her ex-husband, Johnny Depp sued for a column in a reputed daily in 2018 that said he was physically abusive. Quite recently, the verdict ordered her to pay Depp $10 million and $350,000 in compensatory punitive damages.

And now, Miller, who's been in the headlines for his erratic behavior over the years, just found himself in more soup. His alleged inappropriate behavior against a mother and her 12-year-old nonbinary child saw them granted a temporary harassment prevention order. This was the latest update and a different scenario after last week, when the parents of Tokata Iron Eyes, 18, managed to obtain a protective order that said 'The Flash' star cannot contact their child. Even as both these established actors deal with the scenario, it's a no-brainer that DC has taken some hits.
