How are they lying to fans? Nowhere has Gunn said for certain the movie ends in his DCU. In fact, he recently said that Blue Beetle was the first DCU character audiences would meet. Chances are Miller, Momoa (as Arthur, could be Lobo), Gadot, and
I wasn't arguing that they were lying to fans. That was my reading of your reasoning.
Also, I need to find the Instagram comment but Gunn basically disproved this claim within the past few days.
Like I said, this comment wouldn't be a lie. He's not rebooting the DCEU 100% like the comment he replied to suggests because he's continuing characters from his work in the DCEU like Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad. That doesn't mean actors like Miller, Momoa, and Gadot are also going to get carried over.
Things can be reset without Barry ending up in the DCU at the end. I seriously doubt
One has to be a lie then, because he outright states the Flash creates the DCU timeline, and the only timeline it could be is the ending. So, either that's a lie, or the Batman stuff was a lie. Or, both are true from a certain point of view. We won't know for a while.
He said it resets things. Not that it necessarily creates the DCU timeline. I still feel like right now he's giving us PR bullshit. He's not going to come out and announce a new Flash or Aquaman while those characters still have/had upcoming movies coming out. Cavill and Affleck were clearly out with no upcoming projects (sans Affleck small role in The Flash) so nothing's lost by announcing his new plans for those characters. But, I guess we'll see.

That is totally inaccurate information. I own that. It was published in 1978 when the first movie came out. It's giant size magazine with information about the making of the movie and the cast. It's not a comic or comic book adaptation at all. There was never a comic book adaptation of Superman I or II. Nor a novelization because it was part of original screenwriter Mario Puzo's contract that there would never be one. I am assuming because he was a very successful novel writer - The Godfather. That he was worried his name would be used to sell books and comics he did not actually write himself. It's the same reason it was decades before the names Ursa and Non were used in the comics or media. It's still rare. DC probably has to pay his family/estate anytime they do. So they use substitute characters who are similar.Superman Movie Special Vol 1

Didn't know that, sorry. Haven't read it myself, just read about it. Thanks for clearing that up!
Jay Garrick's timeline is kinda weird, but I get it because he's so experienced that he hops from time period to time period to another Earth to another time period from it.
