^ I like the idea of Barry and, presumably, Iris being already married but with them being kind of young I'm not sure they'll go that route

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I definitely agree that Barry keeping a smaller circle would be preferred for the films, both because it's nice to see Barry defeat his foes with his own wits (loved that Barry beat King Shark all without having to ask for advice in s2 e15, they should do that more often) and to help differentiate the two versions of the Flash, I also hope they don't play the Reverse-Flash card in the first film, I think it's important that the first film doesn't simply retread ground covered in the show's first season, there should be strong hints to him being around, but I don't want him to take center stage until a sequel. I think it'd also be nice if the first film had him already happily married and skipped the usual ground solo films cover with love interests.

Yeah. Totally agree on the idea of skipping some "love story" in it's early stages. Let's see the idea of what it means for a young man with super powers have to balance the commitment of MARRIAGE and being a super hero. Let's see Barry grapple with that in earnest.

It would work, but it might more of a developing relationship. I'll take it though.

This would be a great thing to look forward to. And one of the man problems with the show. It'll be in its 4th season when the movie comes out, he'll probably have grown up a lot since where he is now.

A young yet married Barry Allen could totally work. Totally.

Oh, I think it could work too. It just might not be something they will think of doing.

I know Seth is most likely the director WB is going for, even though it hasn't been explicitly confirmed, but Flickeringmyth just put out this article on why Edgar Wright should get the job,
interesting read

Don’t Expect Ezra Miller’s The Flash Movie To Mimic Dawn Of Justice’s Dark And Gritty Tone

http://****************.com/wp-content/uploads/flashapoc-670x335.jpg
Next week – exactly seven days from now – Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice will descend on movie theaters across the globe, heralding the defining next step in Warner Bros. DC Extended Universe.
Shackled with an almost unprecedented level of expectation, there’s another key component that’s set to be driven home on March 25, and that’s the overarching tone of WB’s budding cinematic universe. Granted, director Zack Snyder is poised to uphold the realistic tropes found in 2013’s Man of Steel, but don’t expect other entires in the DCEU to be beholden to this tone.
Case in point: the Ezra Miller-fronted The Flash movie set for release in 2018.
Weighing up how each entry differs from one another was Snyder and his wife and producer Debra Snyder, who spoke to The Hollywood Reporter recently about the ways in which those pieces will fall into place.
First up, Zack noted that:
The mandate is that we try and make the best movies we can. If you’re making a Flash movie with Ezra Miller, it’s like millennial Flash. It’s going to be a little lighter than making a World War I epic with this feminist icon like Wonder Woman. The films do live in a united universe. I feel like the danger is — and I think that the studio would acknowledge this — when you start to mimic things like tone. Then, when you go to the movie, you pretty much know the experience you’re going to have.
Bouncing off this, Debra Snyder referenced the likes of David Ayer’s Suicide Squad and Patty Jenkins’ time-hopping Wonder Woman film as prime examples of this diversity.
Zack and [DC chief creative officer] Geoff Johns have outlined a timeline of where everybody is based off of, where our characters go in Justice League. So there’s a framework. But it’s filmmaker-driven, in that we want to hire direc*tors who still have a point of view and that have latitude because we don’t want all the movies to feel the same. David Ayer has a certain tone and feel to what he brought to Suicide Squad, as does Patty [Jenkins] to Wonder Woman. They have freedom to tell their story in the way that it needs to be told.
The Flash makes a beeline for theaters on March 16, 2018. Dawn of Justice, meanwhile, opens on March 25 of this year.

If he keeps that tone for The Flash then it would be perfect. The flash then would be the best DC movie out, critically and I guess financially too. Because well kids and critics constant complaint of lack of joy and humor

I agree flash has to be comedic, sarcastic and just plain fun as he is in the comics.

I dunno, Flashpoint Paradox was pretty outstanding as far as I'm concerned.

Deborah Snyder seemed to suggest that Cyborg is going to be in the Flash film

 

[Logan0327]

yaaaaaaaas

POSTER by me

 

[catch22]

So, what do people think about Cyborg being in this movie?

 

[Tv's Phil]

Makes me think if that's true it could be through S.T.A.R. Labs.

 

[harryoscop]

I don't get it?

 

[Micromind]

Since we already know who is playing Flash and who is is playing his arch-nemesis, can't wait to see solo Flash movie starring the two.

Flash (Ezra Miller) Vs Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney)

 

[catch22]

I wouldn't exactly call Captain Boomerang his arch nemesis. Him along with Weather Wizard and Mirror Master might be a nice mix. In saying that it wouldn't surprise me if they don't use traditional Flash villains in his movie.
