TALKS ABOUT THE FLASH...

Well a new Flash movie is being made and I like the idea, I never really liked DC characters but I think The Flash should've been a Marvel character, cuz I don't like Quicksilver (never did!)

Ryan Reynolds over the course of his career has managed to get some respect out of me and I would welcome his playing is it Barry or Wally or the other guy. Sure Goyer's loss means something but dark is not always the best way to go.

What do you all think?

Now that Shawn Levy is attached to direct/produce/possibly write this, I've lost all hope.

Man I REALLY hope they don't fuck this up! The Flash is one of my favorite DC characters. They don't ned to make the Flash a "dark" movie. Not all superheores are "dark" so I hope they keep it light and true to the comics.

I think that's why they dropped Goyer's script (as well as Whedon's WW script). It was a bit dark, and they were wanting a lighter film.

That's good. I think Goyer did a super job on Batman Begins, but to have a super-serious, dark overtone on Flash would not fit well to me. Yes we all like the "dark" characters (Blade, Wolverine, Batman, Daredevil, Hulk, Punisher, etc.) because they are usually bad asses that don't take any shit and have had rough lives. It's good to see them go the non-dark route (Flash, Superman, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man mostly).

One of the main problems I have with any DC character other than Batman is the lack of seriousness of the threat of their respective nemessis. Can somebody tell me who are The Flash's main villains other than the sort of Snowman.

Justice, great comics by Alex Ross (like Kingdom Come, JLA 1-4 & Killing Joke)

BTW, I have every single issue of Justice. For those morons who aren't buying this book, get OFF YOUR ASS AND BUY IT. Alex Ross art, people, what more do you fucking need?

As for Flash villians, they suck.

Captain Cold

Mirror Master

The trickster (as played on JLU by Mark Hammil)

Captain Boomerrang

and those are the cool ones, there are a whole bunch that are too lame to even get into.

That is, until Geoff Johns completely re-invented them on his Flash run, the entire concept that the flash villians sit around and hang out in a bar talking to each other about their troubles? That was Johns. His run took the lamest rogues gallery in comics and made it good, successive writers have largely failed to build on John's breakthrough, but that's comics for you.

Soda I would like to add Girder, Murmur, Gorilla Grodd, and Zoom as some other villains.

Girder, with a body made of living steel, looks like a mass of walking steel girders would be cool visually, but he really hasn't been around that long.

Murmur would be too dark a villain for this movie( a surgeon that went insane and started kililing people to stop the voices in his head. His insanity caused him to be unable to stop talking about the murders he commited. While in prison he cut out his own tongue and sewed his mouth shut so he couldn't tell on himself anymore and he now wears a mask he made).

Gorilla Grodd-If done right it could be cool, but if poorly executed it would be the biggest joke in comic-movie history.

Zoom- an evil Flash. Easy to do and be pretty cool to see. Imagine them running through downtown Central City and even up the sides of buildings leaving streaks like the light cycles on Tron.

Is it going to be Barry Allen or Wally West?

[soda]

I can't believe I forgot Gorrilla Grodd, man I must be getting old in the head, he is, easily, the best Flash villian out of all of them.

As for which one it's going to be, you got me, both Barry and Wally are cool, but the flavor at the moment is Bart. He's the Smallville Flash, and the one in the comics right now. Maybe they throw a real curve at us and it's Jay, that would be weird, seeing one only two (as far as I can remember) characters who are still in the DCU from all the way back in the Golden Age.

I checked them out briefly on the net and none of them seem to really mean business. Yet I remember the TV series being relatively good

They remind me of Captain America's corny Serpent Society and the sort of circus of crime with Ringmaster. I think they should think of borrowing a villain from another title. One of the many villains Superman writters don't use because they like Lex' bald head

Hmm..
How about taking Metallo from Superman?
Or maybe Clayface from Batman?

As much as I like Grodd, I really don't think it could work.

[Big Boss]

I guess it's Zoom (or Reverse Flash) then!

I doubt stealing rogues from someone else's gallery is going to establish the film as it's own franchise, and would only attest how lame Flash really is.

[Agent of God !]

I would like to see Flash in school, with the girls, the bullies, teachers, in class, growing up, being a teenager who discovers he has the power to defie the laws of speed and finding in himself to be responsible by avoiding to expose those amazing powers to look cool but by using them to make a difference. That is what I feel the first Spiderman lacked because it moved fast while it should have been about Peter just being in school.

I think the idea of the reverse Flash would be a weak way to start. They should use the villain whose grudge towards the hero is the most personal; now who would that be?

If they would opt for an older Flash I would suggest a sort of Sinister Six sort of story where his most notorious foes would band together to get him, that is almost the only way those corny villains might be OK.
