The Official Flash Thread

I see him more as Wally West/Kid Flash than I do Bart. Bart needs more of the "punk" thing going on, IMO. Great actor though.

Agreed.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I think Wilson is entirely too old for Barry, plus he's losing his hair

Hey! There's a difference between losing your hair and having a receding hairline.

I would know.

 

[Lane & Kent]

If they go for a Wally West Flash movie it has to be based on Mark Waid & Greg Larocque's classic The Flash: Born To Run stoyline.

Hey! There's a difference between losing your hair and having a receding hair ine.

I would know.

Patrick wore a wig for Phantom of the Opera too.

LOL! Point taken.

 

[Kevin Smith]

If they go for a Wally West Flash movie it has to be based on Mark Waid & Greg Larocque's classic The Flash: Born To Run stoyline.

Agreed. If they did that, I would want to see most of Waid's early run on screen. But I hope they go with Barry. Wally's story is still lame and hokey.

 

[Lane & Kent]

I hope they go with Barry too.

P.S Chad Michael Murray as Barry Allen / The Flash

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea i still say since barry is coming back to the comics world dc would likely want any first big budget flash film to feature him in it so they can cash in on it more and all that. But from what i remember their hasnt been much developmental movement with flash in a long while.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I think the only thing that's moving along is Green Lantern.

 

[flash13]

anyone like the idea of using the Mark Waid story Born To Run from the 90's for the movie, it's a good way to feature Barry and Wally

 

[NotFadeAway]

Like I've always stated, I want to see a Wally West centered movie that features him taking over for Barry Allen as The Flash. Peter Krause is my choice for the older Barry Allen, while my choice for Wally would really depend on what age he was in the story. Bryan Greenberg or Joshue Jackson for a slightly older Wally, or Dustin Milligan if you went slightly younger. I forget who first name dropped Milligan, but it has stuck with me.

Mark Harmon for Jay Garrick, Amy Acker for Christina McGee, Linda Park for Linda Park.....more later. I'm still undecided on an Iris.

I'm in favor of using Christina McGee as the initial love interest for Wally, with Linda as more of a background character, and in the sequel/sequels moving more toward Linda.

 

[Showtime]

Scott Porter seems just as good as he was previously.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Agreed. I don't see him in a lot of the roles he's suggested for (Hal Jordan, Superman, Barry, etc...), but he could make a good Wally.

 

[Showtime]

Apparently WB feels the same way.

 

[cerealkiller182]

i am incredibly underwhelmed by Porter and I dont think I'll ever know why he is suggested so much

 

[I Am The Knight]

I hope they do cast him!

 

[NotFadeAway]

Apparently WB feels the same way.

So wait a sec.....Scott Porter is up for Wally West?

Exclusive: Is Scott Porter In the Running for the Flash?

Monday, February 9, 2009 - 8:38 P.M.
A week or so back, our friends at IESB received word that Dan Mazeau (whose Johnny Quest script really impressed Warner Brothers) was tapped to write The Flash.
Now even as Mazeau is typing away at the script, the studio is already looking at two actors as possible candidates to done the red-and-gold suit.
We've received word from a very-reliable source that actor Scott Porter (formerly of the critically-acclaimed television-series Friday Night Lights) is one of those actors.
If you'll remember back in the Fall of 2007, Porter auditioned for director George Miller for his (now dead) Justice League: Mortal and was said to be a top candidate for Superman.
The word is the studio has been quietly keeping their eye on the actor, and been keen to include him in one of their DC properties since JLM fell through.

[Lobo]

I'd love to see Porter cast! As either Flash.

 

[NotFadeAway]

I would be ok with Porter. I'm more concerned about which Flash is used.

 

[Lobo]

My bets are on Barry especially with his rebirth.

 

[Changeling]

Yeah Im thinking its Barry...

 

[hippie_hunter]

Scott Porter seems just as good as he was previously.

Was Porter up for the Barry Allen role in the Justice League movie or was he trying for the Wally West role that Adam Brody won?

 

[Double Down]

I have never seen Porter in action. I have just seen some pics.

 

[Changeling]

Actually, it was down to him and Adam Brody for the role of Flash. (Barry) Some misinformation linked him to Supes
