Looks like after the quiet absence of David Goyer on the Flash project, we now have news of his replacement.
“Night at the Museum” director Shawn Levy has stepped on board to direct Warner Bros. Pictures’ “The Flash,” the big-screen adaptation of the DC Comics speedster hero.

Sources said that Levy, who before box-office smash “Museum” had been known for such comedies as “Cheaper by the Dozen” and “The Pink Panther,” has no intention of making “Flash” a comedy but is aiming for a lighter movie than previous Warners comic book adaptations, such as “Batman Begins” and “Superman Returns.” Goyer’s “Flash” had been dark-themed.
Goyer, much like Joss Whedon had a vision for the Flash that the WB crowd just didnt like.
I would have liked to see a darker, more realistic gritty Flash, but in every incarnation its always been the Flash that offered the comedy relief to the Justice League. He is the lighter side of the group. He has always had that quick wit, and impulsive personality (puns intended).
So we can see where they are headed here right? WB owns Batman Begins, Superman Returns, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and now the Flash.
You know they have to. One day, these guys will all take a pay cut and be in a Justice League movie.
