Ryan Reynolds says “The Flash” may yet live. It just might not be in the superhero’s own film first. Just hours ago, our own Shawn Adler peppered the oft-rumored star of “The Flash” about his association with the DC comics speedster and here’s what Reynolds said: “‘The Flash’ isn’t dead at all. There’s talk of it being a JLA movie, the Justice League having them all together. And then there’s other talk of doing a ‘Flash’ movie with [director] Shawn Levy.”
Rumors of a Justice League movie have gained momentum in recent weeks. Now we’re hearing it straight from one of the potential stars’ mouths. When asked if he thought the JLA film might happen first, Reynolds told us, “[it] might, yeah. I don’t really know how much I’m allowed to talk about that stuff. But I’m sure they’ll figure out something. It’s no secret that they have a JLA script and it’s a project that’s in development – the contents of which, who knows. We’ll see.”
For an actor who’s no longer “officially” attached to play a role, Reynolds sounded very excited about the prospect of a Justice League film, “I’d love to see a full on Justice League movie done, the scope of which is just enormous. I think it’s something they can pull off.”

Without the Martian Manhunter, it is nothing….

A Justice League movie could succeed on the big screen under the right conditions, but I just feel like they’re pushing it through the production process for all of the wrong reasons. As much as I want a movie like this to be awesome, I just feel like, if it happens at all, it’s going to crash and burn big time.

I would so go gay for Ryan Reynolds. I wonder if it’ll be Barry or Wally. I think Jay Garrick would be awesome too. LMAO.

Get the research right. Stay away from mainstream
washouts who can’t act. stay true to the character. no rubber nipple suits. no danny elfman scores…and the movie should be good.

Whatever as long as it keeps Bryan Singer away from Superman

Hell, as long as it keeps Jack Black away from Green Lantern!

This will be an awesome movie, as long as the Wonder Twins and Gleep are attached to this movie. Wonder Twin powers - Activate!

Just as long as they keep Batman out of it. He’s doing quite well on his own as a lone vigilante. It’s Superman’s ass who needs saving.

WHAT!? A JLA FILM WITHOUT BATMAN u&(^t(&*^(*&^(%*(^*^(&^)(*&^)(*&(*%*r*yt^goiuh_(*&_() I WONT SEE IT THEN!

Your Kidding, right? Even when I was a kid I thought that was the stupidest thing I had ever seen!

The Martian Manhunter HAS to be in it. And so does the Bat. As for Aquaman…I’m indifferent. I’d like to see one of the Hawks in it. Here is my proposed cast and actors.
Superman: Brandon Routh
Batman: Christian Bale
The Flash: Ryan Reynolds
Wonderwoman: Kate Beckinsale
Martian Manhunter: CGI voiced by Djimon Honsou
Green Lantern: John Stewart, Omar Epps. Kyle Rayner, Jude Law
Hawkman (if used): Matt Damon
Hawkgirl (if used): Natalie Portman

sure, i can imagine ryan reynolds as the flash. Too bad it’ll be in a JLA movie because i know it’ll be a flop on the big screen though.

I’m sorry but green lantern is Hal Jordan!

As much as I’d like to see a live action JLA movie I’m not convinced that anyone could pull it off properly, especially since Bale has said he’s not been approached and if it wasn’t in keeping with the Nolan movies, he’s not interested.
I almost think I’d prefer a good stop motion flick based on Alex Ross’s artwork. Can you imagine how cool a Kingdom Come movie would be?

Hey, I may be getting my wish! Well, sort of…

Question is, which director could pull this off? You need to develop all the characters and all within telling a story - will be a long film (and expensive). I’d suggest James Cameron, Robert Zemeckis or Wolfgang Petersen (previously attached to the shelved Batman Vs Superman).
