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.

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?
