Friday Night Flash?

I thought Adam Brody was playing him? I still think Ryan Reynolds would have been the best choice but whatever

Never seen the show so he may be the worst actor on earth but he does have a strong resemblance to Barry Allen. So I like it. But if they use Wally West then Not so much I like Shamans pick for Wally. Then again I like Matthew Fox for Barry Allen but I could live with this kid.

Damn Jordan u have been absent for a while. I personally don't have a clue right now who would be good for the flash other than looking @ the previous cast picks of Shamans, loganoneil & Rorsch I believe.

LOL Good one Mattlask!!!

And i guess i also agree with you Roar, for the JLA movie, anybody as long as they don't suck, should do! Flash CAN run solo as the 90's show proved to be amazing to us fans but maybe not so much the "non-fans". However you need a stellar cast to pull that off and just "someone that doesn't suck" won't cut it. John Wesley Shipp was amazing as Barry and he'll be a tough act to follow just as much as Chris Reeves was. Amanda Pays also provided much interest to the series with her endless sexiness! But you're totally right in saying that Flash is better and has always been better in the JLA as an underdog that can hold his own! News of this solo movie doesn't provide much comfort and in no way does this guy either!!!

Man you took the words right out of my mouth, ror :) Seriously, he's sort of a one trick pony, and he has the worst rogue gallery period. Captain Boomerang, Mirror Master, Weather Wizard, Captain Cold... lame. Zoom is the only cool Flash villian since he is psychotic, so hopefully they go with him for the film.

I still like the Flash, I just don't think hes a strong enough character to carry his own movie. He makes a great supporting character, though.

I wanted Chris Evens to play Flash!!!

roar- The Flash can make a good movie. DC just cannot stick to one flash. At least have Barry Allen as the flash and then Wally west as kid flash. The First or second movie Barry Allen dies. Then Wally West takes over as the Flash. And has everybody forgotten The flash 2 great enimies. Guerilla Graud and Reverse Flash. Guerilla Graud is strong and very intelligent and Reverse Flash has him on speed.

Ryan Reynold = Barry Allen. End of Story, you got your guy.

Rorschach, you couldn't be more wrong, and you can't base his chharacter from what was on the cartoon series. He was incredibly one-sided because it was just that, a cartoon series. All fo the Flashes are very strong characters and have had great stories throughout the years.
Ion, John Wesley Shipp?

Hey cool! A Jay Garrick reference! Nice to see someone that knows their history. It would be interesting to see him used, but I can hear the kids whining about his helmet and making fun of it (completely ignoring the mythological reference to Hermes it is). I don't know if they'd make a whole movie around him, but I'd sure love to see Garrick at least make a cameo appearance.

Since these movies seem to love to have characters fighting villains that are like dark versions of themselves (recent examples: Iron Man and Incredible Hulk), maybe we could at least get Professor Zoom for the villain! That would rock! He always was my favorite Flash villain.

As for the Flash himself, he did a fine job carrying his unfortunately short-lived series (which I really enjoyed), so I think he could carry a 2 hour movie with a good script and a good villain. Oh, and a good director, who understands the character and why people have liked him for many years- not just another hack who's been handed a job nobody else wants.

Well groundrunner, i did say i hadnt read much Flash solo stories so i wasnt going by my own opinion, just what i had garnered from friends and any old comic books i did happen to read. I just never found him to be a strong character. But as far as the Justice league cartoon goes, dude that is THE most faithful interpretation of the DCU characters that we will probably ever see..they are lifted straight from the pages of the comics..seriously ask anyone!

Why are people bothered about actors playing characters in different universes? Its like saying, "well Ian Mckellen cant be gandalf because he was Magneto" Just because Flash and FF are both comics, they have nothing to do with each other..i say [frick] it! lets have Ryan Reynolds as Flash

Well fair enough, but if someones perfect for a role then lets have it! Ok i guess seeing Duncan in ALL of those roles you mentioned would get monotonous but 2 or 3 i could live with.

Well as of now they ain't doing anymore FF movies so he's technicly open for new work. Like Cyclops in Superman returns, or Ben Foster in Punisher AND Xmen 3.

we need someone who's perverted, and has a sense of humor, that's the Flash for ya.

This could be a killer franchise. It's not going to happen for a loooonngg time though.

Screw it. Ill play Jay, Wally, and Barry. All at the same time. Where the hell is Brad Pitt's make up artist?
