Hopefully this means a release date sometime in '07 or '08. '08 would be nifty since it would be the 50th anniversary of Silver Age Flash...

Reynolds seems to be the perfect choice for Wally IMO....

I think Flash has the potential to be a good superhero movie franchise. He's got the bad guys, powers that can be translated to some stong visuals and the character is pretty fun. Reynolds seems like a solid pick for Wally. He also has one of the best superhero costumes.

Plus the character's had some sucess in a TV series.

The movie could also help Reynolds break out of the college comedy genre better than "Amityville" and "Blade Trinity".

Wow, I love Ryan Reynolds' movies AND I love the Flash so this would be wicked if it all panned out! If played right, keeping the mood of the Johns' Flash run it'd be a real quality flick. Johns and Goyer collab-ing in some way wouldn't be a stretch since they have history with JSA and whatnot...

I remember that there was one character on the show that I loved to pieces.
I am talking about that cute golden retriever dog who provides comedy relief.
I am talking about Big Earl Allen.
He was the dog that was very good on trying to tell people about his owner, who is a superhero, but sometimes his owner, Flash/Barry Allen has to distract him.
He is also good at telling his owner on the baddies as if to say: That is a baddie, Barry.
I will tell you that I am the only one who can understand what Big Earl is saying, being that I can speak doggie.
If you do not believe me, then mosey down to your local video store and get The Flash TV Show On DVD.
You will really laugh and cry and love Big Earl to Pieces.

I'd prefer to see Reynolds' as Deadpool.

That's a damn good suggestion! His typical movie personality is a PERFECT match with Wade! That wouldn't suck at all...

I Heard On www.Comics2Film.com That Ryan Renolds is gonna play flash i dont know if thats true or not but i was wondering if someone else could tell me the latest news on The Villen for the film and When David S. Goyer is planing to release it.It says on www.IMDb.com That Its Realese Date is 2006 but i dont know if thats true or not Could Someone Tell Me?

**CaptainAwesome** · 08-13-2006, 11:11 AM

I dont know if I buy it. Ryan Reynolds has been rumored to be up for the part, but that whole site seems to be speculation.

**DWEarhart** · 08-13-2006, 12:44 PM

That's been the word since shortly after the theatrical release of Batman Begins. WB had given The Flash to David Goyer, and he wanted Ryan Reynolds in the lead. Haven't heard much else since.

**SnowTrooper** · 08-13-2006, 01:15 PM

That news is pretty old, they have been saying Ryan Reynolds' name forever but nobody knows if he'll do it or if the script for Flash is even finished. You hear Ryans name alot when it comes to superhero movies, I heard he was a top choice to play Deadpool if they ever make that movie.

**CaptainAwesome** · 08-13-2006, 04:44 PM

Personally, I think the only way Reynolds would work is if this is supposed to be set around the time of Waid's run. He couldnt do Barry or Jay, and he couldnt do Wally as an actual adult like he was during John's run, but he could do the immature jerk/celebrity that Waid wrote. That being said I think it would be a big mistake to cast him as the flash, anyway.

**EZMOHR** · 08-13-2006, 07:04 PM

I think if I was gonna cast a Flash movie, I would start with Barry Allen as Th Flash, introduce Iris as his girl, and Wally as a nephew. That hurts me to say, because Wally West is my favorite comic book character of all time. So, I think I would cast the following....

Barry Allen/The Flash- Timothy Olyphant (A good actor, who while may not be a dead ringer in the face for Barry Allen, I could see him playing the part.)

Iris West- You can cast any generic, decent, 30ish actress to play this part...I don't really have a prefrence.

Wally West- Rory Culkin (Say whatever you will about his brother, Rory Culkin is not him. Rory Culkin is a superb young actor, watch Mean Creek, and can play the sometimes angsty younger Wally West, who will one day take over the mantle.)

Captain Cold- Robin Williams (He looks like Cold, he can play sinister, and he has drama chops, no matter what anybody says. Robing Williams is Captain Cold.)
