The Official Flash Thread

[ChickenScratch]

I love the smaller circle with the larger bolt. But I've got a soft spot for all things Flash, I think he's got the coolest costume in comics.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea flash has a very easy to translate costume from comics to screen. if they treat his suit like how they did the raimi spider-man suits i would be very happy and would be ok with a few small modifications like they did with the raimi suits.

Scott Porter for The Flash:​

 

[Octoberist]

man, he's been up for so many comic movies and has been turned down left and right. I don't know if he's gonna have much luck in the future.

 

[Webhead2006]

sure he has had the bad luck of not scoring a role. But he still has a few good years left to have a decent shot at a few. Flash could be his shot.

 

[cin0]

he'd make a great wally

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Yeah but a lot of those characters he wasnt right for. This he's near-perfect for.

Besides the Flash and Captain America, what other roles has he lost out to?

 

[Octoberist]

The Flash (barry allen) in Justice League, if I'm not mistaken

 

[Webhead2006]

personally i think scott could work for both young barry allen or an older wally west. though i still say they will more then likely be going with barry allen for flash if it does get moving really. and i would put the character probably around say 25-29yrs old. So then if and very likely they would have wally be a supporting player within first film they could get away with maybe the character being like 17-19yrs old. So we have at least a 8 yr difference between the characters. So the whole uncle/nephew thing doesnt look to weird and they could play on wally's youth a bit.

MY cast picks for The Flash movie:

The Flash/Wally West: Scott Porter Linda Park:Linda Park

Barry Allen/The Flash (to be killed off & flashback scenes): John Wesley Shipp

Iris West-Allen: Joan Allen

The Trickster (I) (cameo/ flashback): Mark Hamill

Captain Cold: Bruce Willis

The Weather Wizard: Michael C. Hall

I really don't know who I'd pick for Hunter Zoloman. And I definitely have a story in mind for these characters & this cast.

 

[Webhead2006]

that was a nice list there.

Though for me i still say we are probably going to get a fresh to flash career barry allen, and like i said above i would put the charater around 27-29 yrs old. Then we can get wally too and have him like 17-19 so we have about ten years difference on barry and wally. As for foes i wouldnt mind captain cold, mirror master and zoom to be foes we get to see in first or second films.

Hey flash fans i got a question question i was wondering. Here it is:
For each flash jay, barry, wally, and bart. Who are their key supporting players? i was just thinking this earlier for characters to appear in flash series of films.

 

[Octoberist]

usually i'm iffy on actors with hair transplants, but Joel looks 10 years younger with his new do.

 

[lixdexia]

 

[Compi716]

Being that they're most likely going the Barry Allen route for the movie, how about John Wesley Shipp as Jay Garrick/"the mentor figure?"

 

[Sawyer]

McHale got transplants?

What I would love to see is a FLASH movie where Barry Allen is the primary FLASH and Wally West is the younger apprentice-like character who is a movie-verse version of KID FLASH in the first movie (and could possibly take up the mantle of THE FLASH as a cliffhanger for the second movie). Wally West has always been my favorite FLASH, but I would love to see (in some capacity) his KID FLASH days on screen and how he came to take on the mantle left empty by Barry Allen. I keep thinking that a great name for a third movie would be, "THE FLASH: LEGACY" to really demonstrate that THE FLASH is something that isn't just a name, but truly is a legacy to be honored and respected. The third movie could have Barry, Wally and hell... even Bart and Jay in there if it worked.

Come on DC and WB! Give us the FLASH movie we've all been waiting for!!!

I would see that

 

[Webhead2006]

i still rather go barry origin and being the solo flash for frst film. But have jay and wally be supporting/smaller characters. So then we get the whole legacy deal started up. Then say maybe wally could have been at the lab the night of barry's accident. But his powers dont show up to end of the first film. So then in sequel they could start playing up wally has powers. So then there or in a 3rd film if they wanted to turn him into the flash.

 

[Octoberist]

i just read The Flash #1 by Geoff Johns and it's pretty damn good. In fact, if you guys are wondering, it's probably the most light, fun read I've read from DC in a while. It's upbeat, and yes, Barry is a funny dude, in a Paul Rudd kind of way. Also the art is fantastic.

 

[Webhead2006]

got any panels you can show octoberist?

 

[Young Superman]

How about Chad Michael murray for Barry Allen?
