4 Ways The FLASH Movie Can Separate & Be Different From The TV Version

With the Flash film moving forward pretty nicely, and the tv show being a success, it's a good time for the character. But will the FLASH movie bring new things into the table, or retread old grounds?
Hit the jump, to channel the speedforce.

4 Ways The Movie Can Be Different Than The TV Version By JEREMIUS


The Flash film is happening, and moving forward pretty nicely. With a new director in the chair, things are going pretty nicely. The CW show is going strong aswell, and both of the are going forward. Look, when Ezra Miller was cast as Flash when most people wanted TV Flash to be in the movies aswell, but when those news broke, people outcried. While Ezra is fit for the Flash, Grant nailed the part, in my mind. Anyways, the movie is far away, and we do not know much about it, honestly.  
It's important using most of the mythos in a good way, and with it's rising popularity, we have to wonder whether or not the movie will stray too away from the source or follow some of the show's footsteps? That's a tough one, but i do think that they need to make it different. To keep it exciting, while not going too far off.  How can that go? How can the film not be TOO much like the show? Well, here's some ways.


1. Make Him A Solo Player


While Flash having a team to help him out is far from a thing, the guy doesn't need much help, doesn't it? He's the fastest man alive, he's an expert at forensics, which allows him to track down every criminal and his speed is a clear advantage.  Among his JL duties, you would think that Flash would be much more experienced and wouldn't need much help. If you're gonna give him a team, atleast give him one without forcing some cringy romance, alright, mates?
2. Bring On The Rogues

The rogues are a team of supervillains assembled to bring down the Flash. While helping each other out to do their wrong-doings. While some superhero movies had problems with including too much supervillains, i think if done right, that wouldn't be a problem for the movie.
My line-up would Captain Cold, Heatwave, Weather Wizard, Trickster and even Mirror Master. Bring them on, and if Jay Courtney is as awesome as he looks in the trailers in the actual Suicide Squad movie, then maybe bring him to the mix.
3. Use The Speedforce Wisely

Flash's powers don't only come from some chemicals, as he uses the Speedforce, a dimensional energy, that makes him run through dimensions and worlds. Considering the movie wil have a big budget, maybe bring the Speedforce travelling visuals right.  And maybe have the Speedoforce run have to cause problems in the timeline and the Flash's worlds or other dimensions (A.K.A Flashpoint). 

4. Bring On More Speedsters

While the DCEU is good with just one Flash. Why not more? Surely, Kid Flash will appear at some point in the movies, and maybe others. Atleast Jay Garrick or the other known speedsters known over the 75 years of the character. It would be amazing to see all those characters on the big screen.

END.
What did you think of this post? How would you like The Flash movie being different or staying the same?

Different, not necessarily better. I think Barry needs some friends and support, and I don't think we need more speedsters in the first film.

Good article dude, I agree with it, especially the flying solo part.

Tom Hanks for Jay Garrick.

I hope he dyed it, or maybe it's his natural colour?

I think that you have good points. I don't want to see more speedsters unless it's future and past versions of Barry. Bring on new villains such as Mirror Master or someone like that that the show doesn't have yet

My pitch for The Flash remains the same, don't make it anything like the show, because using the same setting, same look, same tone, same character arcs, and same supporting characters recast with movie-caliber actors, it would just make fans of the show even more baffled as to why Grant Gustin wasn't the cinematic Flash. The best way to outline it is to say it should be a cross between Chronicle and Jumper, a straight up adolescent power fantasy featuring a globe-trotting, freelance Flash, in plainclothes for the majority of the runtime. Any other heroes or villains he encounters should be fellow speedsters, the TV world can make excuses for why a guy with a freeze gun can reckon with someone imbued with Speed Force, the movie world can't.

So I agree with most of these talking points, especially maintaining the exclusivity of a solo film, none of the other Justice League guys need to be there, granted some of the origin story will need to be glossed over in Justice League itself.

They should use Grodd or Mirror Master as the villains, save Thawne for later. Captain Cold and his minions work best as friendenemies who Flash reluctantly has to work with and exchange favors when he needs them.

Maybe Mirror Master is the film's villain since we haven't seen him in the TV show.
