The flash is my favorite……It will not be easy making this But……If you guys can pull this off it will be one of the best films ever made. If not it will sink the image of the Flash, but being optimistic with todays’ special effects it will be worth the wait. Besides every year there are those Flash costumes for Halloween ….RIDE THE LIGHTNING!!!!!!

i’m more familiar with wally west, so i’d have to say the story should play out as him being the main char. i think they should’nt bring in any of the previous “Flashes” because u could risk confusing some of the non-Flash-fans out there. they should keep the story straight forward, like the batman, superman and spider man series, comedy is a must for wally west. it should also be more of a comming of age type of movie kinda how they scripted spiderman, the first one….. and idea for future films i think they should include all of the super heros into a series of films (i think about 4 films would be great), The title of course would be JLA aka justice League of America, i would most definitely wet myself!!

I Love the Flash and I cant wait untill the movie comes out, but I dont want Shawn Levy to do it…We have to bring David Goyer back!!!! We should try and start a petition or do something If we dont want the Flash to be another Daredevil/Elektra type of movie!!!! If you want the Flash to be a good movie, that will be dark, and serious not some crappy lovey dovey superhero lighter superhero movie than you will agree with me…We must do something…Bring David Goyer BACK!!!!!

This should be directed to David Goyer who is going to write the screenplay for the upcoming “The Flash” movie for Warner Brothers.

My thoughts about the Flash movie goes this way. Start the movie with a teaser scene like they do at the beginning of the James Bond movies. It would last 2 to 3 minutes and then start the movie at the advent of the Flash story. The teaser scene idea i had was the recent tsunumi’s
in Shri Lanka and Thailand. As they are approaching the mainland you see a scarlet red blur from a topographic view and the camera pans slowly downwords to reveal that something is harnessing the tsunmi’s wrath and diminishing it’s power. as the whirlwinds slow down you can fainlty see the Flash destoying the might of the storm as people cheer from the shores of the beaches. They quite can’t figure out how the disaster was averted but are grateful that their lives were spared. Then the Flash races to a nearby island to rest and you finally see the Flash standing on the beach as he smiles for another job well done and the camera fades out to the opening credits.

I have additional ideas if they are worthy of merit.

That does sound like the the TV show. Some episodes were quite dark, and he did have to eat a lot after using his speed. The following "movies" were repackaged episodes of the show: The Flash: A biker gang terrorizes Central City and kills Barry's brother. Barry gets struck by lightning, gains super-speed, and becomes the Flash to avenge his brother. Flash II: Revenge of the Trickster: (1) The Trickster stalks Barry's girlfriend, and decides he has to defeat the Flash to get her. (2) A fan of the Trickster breaks him out during his trial. They capture the Flash, brainwash him, and put Central City on trial. Flash III: Deadly Nightshade: (1) A supervillain from the 1950s returns, and Central City's former protector, the Nightshade, comes out of retirement. The Ghost begins taking over Central City's computer grid, and the Flash and Nightshade team up to stop him. (2) A new Nightshade appears, killing criminals instead of simply catching them. The original Nightshade has to clear his name, and the Flash has to stop the impostor. These would have been released in the early 1990s (the original episodes ran from 1990-1991). Does anything here sound familiar?

Rich, you're probably thinking of either the Flash TV Series from 1990 or The Wizard of Speed and Time. WB repackaged several episodes of the TV series as direct-to-video movies.

I don’t quite understand what the hoopla is all about. The Flash people in New Zealand and Australia has already started the THE FLASH with a new face actor name Leif Lundgren. Ryan could just stick to his Trinity movies because The Flash the fastest man on earth is now being secretly film in Wellington, New Zealand and Sydney Australia. Leaf is young very sexy good looking Swedish Canadian Guy who was born in Upsalla, Sverige moved to Les Isles de la Madeleine. Go see him at Thierry Mugler et Cie “Angel for Men” He is the finest candidate for this movie Flash and just check his Thierry Mugler Blue Oufit he young 22 years old, very goodlooking and he can jump from one building to another gracefully. See the Thierry Mugler video and there you go the New Flash is Leif.

I am a 55 year old “Flash Fanatic”.

I have Every comic that was ever made with .. “Barry Allen”.

I know who Jay Garrick is and I am also familiar with the Wally West flash (sidekick) version.

The TV version, (in my opinion) was a complete disaster.

The food eating incidents were horrible!

Yes, I understand that there is presidence for it BUT, I never saw it in the Barry Allen comics.

As an “Old Man” I just have to say that the “Barry Allen” version of THE FLASH “IS” “The Flash”!

BTW: It was Barry Allen who invented the “Multiple Personna” illusion when he put on an exhibition for a childrens charity by being … “Two” baseball teams, playing against each other!

I have to go look but wasn’t that in or around a 1965 issue?

Oh yeah, about the Superman – Flash speed thingy (who is faster). I had the original copy of The Race, where Superman and Flash ran a foot-race around the world .. Even Then, as a kid, I thought it Terrible!

Why? I have an issue of The Flash where Barry Allen wanted see just how fast he could move and it showed him building up speed .. Faster and Faster running … Around The world! He was just a “blur”. 100,000,000 times a second is what I seem to remember and Even That wasn’t his top speed! Barry gave up because there seemed to be no limit.

Here “and now” are my issues with the Superman-Flash foot race comics. (Boy did they ever draw that series out .. on and on and on.)

#1) Running at that speed, (as the description that I gave above) .. There is No Way that the Flash wouldn’t have Launched himself off into space! NO WAY!

#2) That Horrible drawn out comic series of The Race between Sup and The Flash … Was a Joke!

In the comics they had reporters .. reporting on their location and who seemed to be ahead at the moment! (Well they just passed Italy and are now in Russia etc. etc.)

Give me a BREAK!

I don’t have to point out to any of you .. WHY those issues of a foot-race disappointed us kids!?

Depends on which version of Wally you're looking at. The Wally West who appeared in Justice League Europe was certainly played for laughs, and the Wally West from the Justice League cartoon owes quite a bit to that version of the character. There's no reason a movie couldn't pull elements from different versions of the character, much like the TV show combined aspects of Barry Allen and Wally West, or the JLU episode, "Flash and Substance," showed both sides of Wally and gave him Barry's civilian career.

Wally West hasn’t really ever been funny. He takes his job as the Flash very seriously, he’s very concerned about his legacy. He has his witty moments, but they are few and far between. He can be slightly childish at times, but that’s because he’s also living his dream. The fanboy that got his greatest wish, to be like his hero, The Flash. That’s who Wally is. So no matter whether you choose Ryan Reynolds or Paul Walker, he has to embody those qualities to be Wally West/Flash.

Paul Walker as the flash would be a little weird, I mean yeah, he’s got the build, but where would the humour be………Not even the best writers in the world could make him, funny.

But then again the movie is gonna be semi-sci-fi, so that might not matter.

But personally I’d prefer it if they got someone else.
