Aside from Superman, the comic book adaptation currently in production that I’m most curious to see is The Flash. The good news is that David Goyer is writing it (he also wrote Blade and Batman Begins). The bad new is that Goyer is also directing it (he directed the HORRIBLE AS HELL Blade Trinity).
In a recent interview with the New York Daily News, Goyer let some details slip about the new film. Here’s what was said:
“Fans know there’s been more than one Flash over the years,” Goyer adds. “There’s been a lot of speculation and rumor, but both Barry Allen and Wally West will be in this movie.”
“We’re going to go into the ‘Speed Force’ and a lot of the cosmic aspects of the character from the more recent past,” Goyer says. “Trust me, we’re going to do a lot more than have the Flash run on water and create vortexes.”
I don’t know. That all makes me nervous. Wally West AND Barry Allen? Going into the Speed Force? I’m not going to pass judgment this early in the game… but to me that all sounds stupid. Keep it simple man. The best comic films do. But that’s just my opinion.
