Lots of Flash news at once..providing its on the level of course! But you can be pretty sure Deadline's info is accurate. Looks like WB will have a nice new Flash script to start seeking a director for by Christmas. Word is it most likely won't be Greg Berlanti..

From Deadline..

I've just learned that the latest script for the Dc Comics character The Flash will be handed into Warner Bros between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green are writing the draft, and Greg Berlanti did the story with them. No word on who'll direct The Flash yet, but I can tell you it's doubtful it'll be Berlanti... "He won't want to direct it because he kinda wants to do something in between size-wise first before attempting something that large,".... I hear the film(Green Lantern) shaping up is "jaw-dropping".) My source says, "They're working round the clock on that now. Also, the three of them are working on the treatment for the sequel to the Green Lantern at the same time. All of which will be in by Christmas."

And Moviehole, also a reliable source, claim The Hangover's Bradley Cooper is the front runner to play The Flash. Its unlikely WB would actually be speaking to anyone without having signed a director, but they may well have Cooper in mind. Funnily enough Cooper was also a contender for the role of Hal Jordan in Green Lantern, which of course went to Ryan Reynolds in the end.

From Moviehole..

Very early days but, I've heard Bradley Cooper, who of course was the runner-up for the role of Hal Jordan in DC's "Green Lantern", is the favourite to wiggle his way into the cherry tights. Warner Bros loves them some Cooper, and DC is very keen to have Cooper be 'part of the family', so don't be surprised to hear the "Hangover" star's name mentioned in relation to the role when the shortlist is inevitably leaked.

I'm sure there are those that feel(If Cooper was to land the role of course) that WB got these castings a bit ass backwards and Reynolds would have better suite the part of The Flash and vice versa! But anyway, there you go. If Cooper is our man in red, how do you think he would fare in the role?

Great find Ror. I certainly would not be disappointed with Cooper. I think he would do a great job in the role

I couldn't see anyone else in the role...unless it was Neil Patrick Harris, he voiced him in New Frontier and it was a good performance

Personally I'm not a big fan of Cooper. He is a solid actor in comedic roles but I can't take him seriously when he's trying to be anything else. In A-Team when he was trying to be all charming and cool I just saw a Gonzo lookalike acting like a cocky douchebag. Still, you never know. He certainlyy wouldn't be my first choice.

Cooper? I hate this guy. I'm quarelling about getting a gun here!
David Goyer or Joseph Kosinski should do this.

@Taboo13 Though Wonderwoman is part of the trinity of DC, she will have the hardest time to translate on-screen. I think depending how well Thor turns out, Wonder woman will be made.

P862010 - 10/11/2010, 7:27 AM
because flash is a male lol

is why we are getting flash before wonder woman

1.wonder woman needs alot of money to make
2.every female super hero pic has flopped

I always imagine Seann William Scott playing Flash whenever i see the character in an animated film or tv show.
I don't think he's done enough leading roles though to pull it off though so that knocks him off my pick list.

Bradley Cooper sounds amazing to me, he can be quick and funny but he's got the skills to be a hero methinks.

I know this may be a stupid question but I am a casual Flash fan. Love him when he's with a team but I have never purchased a Flash solo book. Can someone tell me the purpose behind cramming his suit into his ring? I have never understood why he does this.

Taboo13@ (Lol I know its a long name but every other batman name with out a number was taken) lol its nothing against the Fan girls, but I think Wonder woman really is just a harder movie to construct. You need a broad, tall, and yet elegant looking actress to play her and it can't just be some model it has to be an actress who can act and hold her own scene to Superman if the time ever came. The overall production will be harder because they will have to create massive set pieces for themiscara where as the Flash you just base him in the city (and plus Those designs wouldn't work the same as will GL with CGI.) But I think they have the perfect story which was the DC animated movie of Wonderwoman. All they would have to do is make the competition longer and explain some things to make the movie longer and it would be perfect.

Awesome news @Ror
and yeah Bradley is not a smart choice for Barry, he is more like a great choice for Guy Gardner

Lol yeah they did get this casting ass backwards. Reynolds was made to play Wally West. And Bradley Cooper could of worked for Guy Gardner (could never see him as Hal Jordan).

I can't really see him as Barry Allen either, but admittedly I don't know as much about Barry Allen as I do about Wally West. I still would rather have them use Wally as the flash instead though, he just has so much personality and could be the great tasteful comedic relief once the JLA movie comes.
