The Official Flash Thread

i would say zoom, but you could make a case for grodd too. but really, is captain cold any more ridiculous a name than magneto, mr. sinister, or dr. doom?

 

[Project862006]

^ might be because i am used to those names and they never sounded ridiculous to me lol

and all 3 of those guys were quite imposing

as is captain cold. all i'm saying is the rogues name's are no worse than any others in comics, it's just that you're not used to reading them. obviously there would have to be more to a guy than just the name "dr. doom" or everyone would laugh him off, same thing here. i suggest you go read some flash to get a better handle on these guys before bashing them, the first 5 issues of the new series have been pretty fun

never bashed them

just said i might be out of the loop and wanted you guys to inform me

fair enough, my bad then.
there's a dc run wiki that should be able to hook you up with whatever you want to know about the characters

I love Flash's enemies. Savitar is a total bad-ass and left a pretty good body count, Pied Piper is really interesting since he's pretty neutral at times and he's gay (not many gay villains come good guys), Captain Boomerang (both of them are great, the dad's hilarious), Captain Cold.

Captain Cold is the baddest MFer in the Universe.

 

[MadVillainy]

Zoom is pretty badass too

 

[Young Superman]

Am I the only one who thinks Bradley Copper is better suited for Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow instead of Barry Allen aka The Flash?

 

[flash13]

I don't want to see Bradley Cooper in any superhero movie, but if he was in one I agree that Green Arrow suits him more.

 

[protocida]

The Flash's nemesis is Zoom.

Jay Garrick has got Edward Clariss.

Barry Allen has got Eoboard Thawne.

Wally West has got Hunter Zolomon.

Bart Allen has got Thaddeus Thawne.

Other than that, Captain Cold, Mirror Master and Grodd would be the Flash's most famous foes. Savitar, Kadabra, Doctor Alchemy and Cobalt Blue are very powerful, too.

 

[MadVillainy]

Honestly I think the casting choices for The Flash have always been kind of bad. JGL, Matthew Fox, and Bradley Cooper for Barry? Come on.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Mark Paul Gosselaar for Barry. Just my opinion.

 

[lixdexia]

i could see it.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

Ryan Gosling for Barry Allen.

 

[HighFivingMF]

He won't do it. He says he's not good enough to act like something's there that isn't.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

He's good enough and the Flash won't require as much green screen as Superman or Green Lantern.

 

[HighFivingMF]

He's good enough and the Flash won't require as much green screen as Superman or Green Lantern.

They were his words, he doesn't think he's good enough to play a comic character. He is, of course, good enough though.

 

[MadVillainy]

I understand what he's saying. You have to pretend these huge out of this world things are there when theyre not. If he does it great. If not I understand.

But its funny that the guy who is saying that is the one who starred in a movie where he was girlfriends for a real doll

 

[Octoberist]

I still stick to my 'never say never' theory because Zach Synder and David Goyer once said that they wouldn't/couldn't do Superman, and that's what they're doing right now.

With Ryan, the only reason why I can see him doing The Flash is IF his agent is begging him and what his career going during that moment.

Right now, he's getting buzz for Blue Valentine and he's doing that cool film, Driver. Driver is an action film, so obviously Ryan has it in him.

 

[annie.j88]

also depends on how he responds to the script and director.

i'd rather him not do it though if he has no love for the character.

 

[OwlBoy]

Barry Allen - Ryan Gosling
Iris West-Allen - Emily Deschanel

Said it before, say it again.

 

[OwlBoy]

Besides the whole "I'm not sure I'm good enough to act against stuff that's not really there" thing doesn't make any sense; he was the star of Young Hercules, that show had tons of green screen!

 

[Chewy]

I think that's just his excuse in interviews because he really just has no desire to do it

 

[OwlBoy]

He needs to stop taking control of his career and bow to the whims of strangers on the internet!
