Sounds Like The Flash is Up and Running Again!

Sounds Like The Flash is Up and Running Again!

Word on the street is the WB is lining up a Director!

This from IESB.net:

"IESB has learned exclusively that WB is lining up a director for another high profile DC character; Greg Berlanti is the leading contender to helm "The Flash"

Which is great news and also goes with the Movie Model DC is building to showcase all the great characters of the Justice League individually and then ultimately into one film.

IESB.net goes on to say:

"DC Entertainment is surely on fire. Nelson and company are hitting the ground running, pun intended. The Nolan Bros. and David Goyer getting their hands all over the Caped Crusader and The Man of Steel sounds about right."Green Lantern" moving forward under the watchful and capable eye of Martin Campbell and possibly now Greg Berlanti dashing into the fray with "The Flash".

Apparently the head honchos over at DC are very impressed with how much of a positive impact Greg has had prepping Martin Campbell's 'Green Lantern'.

Greg Berlanti had the directing gig before Warner Bros ultimately decided to go with Martin Campbell.

There you have it. Place The Flash back on the radar.

Stay tuned to ComicBookMovie.com for further announcements!

jman1977:What FLASH are we getting Barry Allen or Wally West? Who has the better storyline and who would translate/tie-in better with the DC Heroes already out?
ItsNotASchooner
ItsNotASchooner - 2/25/2010, 2:49 PM
I think it'd be cool if the main Flash is Wally West, and somewhere along the way of finding/getting his Flash power, he tumbles on to Barry Allen who was the old Flash.

BLADE @ BARRY ALLEN of course!!

WALLY can do the sequel when BARRY dies at the end of the movie, think about it!

Never been done to the main superhero lead character on film! ; )

I wish I knew but no further details have emerged. If I had to pick I would go with Wally West just because he is more current. What do you think? I really liked Barry Allen in the last Flash TV series. Maybe they will go with that name just because it still might be fresh in The Flash fans minds?

Great. Now we'll have 12 months of "Ackles for The Flash" comments.

this tiny, relatively unknown hispanic actor has my vote to play The Flash...

ItsNotASchooner - 2/25/2010, 3:01 PM
that would actually be kinda cool if it was Barry Allen, and then dies at the end (or 3/4 in) and then makes way for Wally. I'm interested in what they could do with the costume for the movie. I think of all superheros, that could be one of the toughest to translate to the screen.

Hahaha, that's the one thing I hate about this site, Ackles for everything! Get over Ackles. It is a silly name anyway.

Hey Galactus?

How about getting rid of the Dragonballz icon on the main page, and putting in its place a white disc with a golden bolt (aka The Flash's icon) in the middle??

Saweet! I hope DC and WB can keep the momentum and actually follow through with these films. Barry Allen FTW!

Barry Allen for sure

Now, if we could get some solid WW news, we've got a pretty good core cast for Justice League.

I second what Phin said. Put Flash logo up on news groups

I can see it now. Dane Cook cast as The Flash...

I certainly hope they don't kill Allen off in the first film. Only nonfan would say something so retarded. He has to deal with his Rogues, and at least Eobard Thawn or Hunter Zolomon. If they get to the Gorillas (Grodd and Solavar) that'd be cool too!

so who would be some realistic ideal choices for both barry allen and wally west?

I just don't see how The Flash could be made into a movie. Running at the speed of light is a fantastic idea to put on the big screen but not as a main character. JLA anyone?

jusme6 - 2/25/2010, 3:21 PM
@King: Nuh-uh. Don't say that

I 3rd what phin said.

It's about time DC started getting their sh1t together. Hopefully they will take care of their lead actors and directors better than Marvel does.

jjmeylar - 2/25/2010, 3:21 PM
I highly doubt it would be Berry Allen. I mean, Wally West is the most known Flash. You ask someone, like myself, who mainly studies Marvel, who the Flash's secret identity is, they'll say Wall West. Hal Jordan is the most recognizable of the Green Lantern's. Why do you think they used him, instead of one of the other guys? I'm sure that they would have used Guy or John or one of the others if they were more popular.

ecksmanfan - 2/25/2010, 3:22 PM
No to Dane Cook!!! Bad, bad, bad idea.

Neil Patrick Harris for Wally West!!!!

Let's stick with Barry for this one! We don't need all of that post-Crisis revisionist crap entangling matters!

Wally is Kid Flash! Let's not get ahead of ourselves here! I've never forgiven the fact that Wally essentially usurped Barry's identity by swiping his costume, albeit in tribute/memoriam, but this has influenced younger readers that came on board in '87 or later to think of Wally as the one true Flash -- and it's simply not true!

I want the originals to get their due, dammit!!

You were probably a zygote when Barry entered the Speedforce. Many of us were not. Thus, we identify Allen as the iconic standard-bearer for the role of the Flash. Also, DC readers (this includes non-Flash fans) have been anticipating his return. THis is because it had been hinted on many of occasions. They'll no doubt do an origin story about Allen. His was the one with an introductory origin that makes sense. Wally's is tied up with Allen's thereby making him ineligible.
He and Hal are best friends. Not Hal and Wally. Hal has a smart-ass way about him. Because of it, Reynolds made for good casting. If West was in there, it wouldn't work without the straight man, which was Allen. It would take any serious tones away from a JLA movie. Itd be like those two retard autobots in Transformers.

When Allen entered the Speedforce, Hal also went away because the dynamic in their team ups was gone.

Its gonna be Allen, I guarantee it.



Every other dissenter whose major complaint is just speed, Allen (NOT WEST) can vibrate through objects and cause non combustible objects to explode by vibration, among other talents.

We'll all go to the theater and right before the movie starts, a question mark will appear on the screen because the plug-in was not installed.


Flash humor . . . anyone? anyone?
