Variety: The Flash is slow to start, now eyeing 2021
- Thread starter ManaByte
- Start date
Cyborg aint happening.
Geoff Johns Is currently writing the script for Green Lantern Corps. Probably won't hear anything else about it till next year.
It's the only Flash story they know, Slay. It's like how people are obsessed with Azzarello's Wonder Woman.
It's the only way to keep things consistent with their (WB) own internal logic and reboot everything thereby undoing their own incompetence.
GL is happening, Johns is running the live action stuff and Green Lantern has always been his baby, which is why I think Flash will happen in some capacity within the next five years since his run is, whether I like it or not, "the" Flash run.
I mean it's pretty easy to do a good Flash movie, even with Barry Allen. You A) Pretend he's Wally West and B) you have him play not off one singular villain but a chunk of the entire rogues gallery (maybe not boomerang because DC in their infinite wisdom thought to throw him into the movie about mass murderers) and basically make it like Spider-Man. Because when you start doing speed force shit is when the story gets real dumb and real bad to adapt to a motion picture.
DC/WB will, of course, ignore these sound ideas and go full bore ahead with speed force stupidity from jump but hey, I can dream.

Flashpoint didn't work when they did it in the comics (not talking Nu-52, just Flashpoint and the events surrounding it in general), using it as a framing device for "time travel fuckery: the motion picture starring Barry Allen" is going to backfire.
Good, get the money for the CGI cause we are
and today i learned Mark Millar helped on one of the greatest Flash stories. What the hell happened to the man?
Nothing happened.
He was always trash on his own, that's why his movies work.
You get in better writers to fix his mess.
I think the fall out between them was about Morrison writing an issue of The Authority to replace Millar who was too sick to work and never getting credit for it.
I think everyone was.
I say fired, Berg and Silverman went off to become producers and potentially make even more money than they would as studio execs.
Kevin T is still in place (for now) and Geoff Johns is a likely a lot happier now (also with a big money studio producing deal) than trying to wrestle with a big studio slate on an executive level.
That was a holy shit (that is bad) moment in the cinema. Compare that to the moment Black Panther was sprint styling in the car chase in Civil War.
thats wally and also the wrong wally for live action.Good, get the money for the CGI cause we are

It's the only flash story people know and people want it to fix the the time a character stubbed their toe
Well I think that's what they're doing? I don't expect to see any real shared universe connections in this or Aquaman or WW84, outside of using the same actors as before.
I think that is the plan... though these movies appear to have crumbs for the DCEU, they are mostly stand alone movies for the most part... yes including Wonder Woman's "sequel".
I wouldn't really say the DCEU stubbed their toe as much they violently crippled themselves in a high speed self inflicted accident.
I'm glad they're holding off and waiting until the screenplay is right to produce instead of rushing it, to be honest. It's the right decision.
People seem to like Wonder Woman and its the one that stands best on its own so thankfully they might have taken that as a sign.
