WHY WE NEED A FLASH MOVIE!
Hey guys, so today I re-released an updated and hard worked fan cast for a movie for The Flash, the famous DC character. I’m not here to discuss my choices, but to express and explain my belief that The Flash is the most needed comic book character to hit the movies right now. I’m talking about the hundreds of other characters that also have not been on the big screen ever. So this does not include Batman, Superman, Spider-Man and etc..... But, here are my reasonings to support that a Flash movie is desperately needed!
I know their are dozens of Flashes in the DC comic universe, particularly Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, and Wally West (Even though I have Jay Garrick mentoring Barry in my fan cast), but three flashes in one movie? Way to much! So just focussing on Barry Allen, arguably the most popular Flash, is the perfect way to go. This is the most important part of my belief, so PAY ATTENTION!: The Flash’s super power of super speed is so simple, yet powerful, that any fan will be drawn to such a simplistic, yet entertaining hero! Super speed is such a common super power, but it can do a lot, more than ordinary people might expect. I believe that this super power will instantly connect with viewers, making them understand the desire to attain this super speed, and the true want to have it! When a superhero film, or even just any other film can connect with the audience, and make them believe what if, you know you will have a winner. With The Flash, children, teenagers, middle aged people, and even older people will fall in love with the character, and the concept of attaining this power that oh so many people have dreamed about!
This power on the big screen will do wonders! Not only do I believe it would be a box office smash, but I believe that it has potential to be an amazing movie. Although I know many people will hate, I loved Green Lantern. Sorry to say, but I did. Cry me a river..... Regardless of whether u loved it, or hated it, you know a potential sequel, or even reboot, can make it big. The Flash can go beyond the Green Lantern, and really can expose it’s spectacular characters. With Barry Allen being played by Bradley Cooper in my fan cast, their is instantly a comedic, star-like atmosphere erupting from the character. Wit and charm is what Bradley Cooper is made of, and with Barry Allen’s personality and occupation, it couldn’t fit more perfectly to connect and make the audience fall in love with The Flash! Then with Iris Allen being played by Rachel McAdams, viewers will fall for the lovable character, having viewers hope for Barry and Iris’s love to spark, in midst of fighting as The Flash! With the other characters I have, the villains are also simple, yet interesting. Viewers will come to love these villains, and will not know whether The Flash has enough in him to take them out! Each with their own special origins and powers, viewers will be off their seats when The Flash and them collide.
Last, but not least, is the need for the DC universe to grow and expand, fully competing with Marvel. DC has Superman and Batman, yes, but Marvel in the past several years has emerged on top, especially with the Avengers. The worst part is is that some of the Marvel characters aren’t even as interesting and powerful as DC’s remaining characters. Ghost Rider, Luke Cage, Doctor Strange, Daredevil, Punisher? Don’t get me wrong, these characters are cool and kick-ass, but compared to The Flash, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman and more... I tend to disagree. Especially with the potential of The Flash and Wonder Woman, it’s truly a shame that these characters haven’t gotten the same exposure. It’s time for DC to reemerge and bring out the characters that our parents, ourselves, and our kids all love, show the world that the simple, powerful superhero is what we need to see me! This is DC’s time to take a stand against Marvel, and with a successful Flash, they can venture into other films like Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Aquaman, other Green Lanterns, and Hawkman, and of course, the one and only JUSTICE LEAGUE!
Throughout this “essay” I feel that I have effectively refuted my belief that we NEED a Flash movie. I highly suggest you check out my fan cast, and comment below on how you feel about the hopefully soon to be feature film! I predict and see great things for this potential franchise, and I feel with the right cast, direction, and guidance, this film can be legendary, edging out every other comic book character that has yet to seen a big screen debut! Let’s see a Flash movie DC, and show us what you got!
