DC Comics Superhero Movie Roundup!
Okay folks, we’ve got quite a bit of movie news to get through here as DC Comics have been busy little beavers, so in your best interests I’ll throw the news down as quickly as I can coz my head is spinning from my fanboy excitement.
Okay, first up…The Flash.
The heavily rumored Flash origin movie has finally been given the green light with Green Lantern writer Geoff Johns being unvieled as writer/producer.
Johns will partner up with Dan Mazeau, who is currently working on the Johnny Quest movie, while comic book Gods Marv Wolfman and Grant Morrison will help out as consultants.
A certain Mr. David Dobkin has been tipped to direct the movie, and if his name doesn’t ring any bells for you, he was the director for the okayish Wedding Crashers a couple of years back.
Anyway, the movie will be a Wally West origin story which will see the teenager get struck by a bolt of lightning and subsequently become the ‘fastest man alive’.
As of right now (as in; as I’m typing) there have been no casting announcements though Ryan Reynolds has, in the past, lobbied hard for The Flash, though with his recent casting as the Green Lantern, chances of him playing The Flash as well as The Green Lantern and Deadpool are pretty non-existent.
So…
What next?
Aquaman.
Very little is known about the Aquaman production other than Alan and Peter Richie, from Sunrise Entertainment will produce with first time writer Ben Grant set to have a go at the script.
Okay, now the Green Arrow movie.
A while back the Green Arrow movie had quite a lot of momentum, there was that Supermax script that was hot but since then the project seems to have sizzled out of everybodies thoughts, but, I am told that the project is very much on the studios’ mind and that details will be forthcoming at Comic-con.
And finally…
Bizarro Superman!
Yep, you read it right; Bizaro Superman! Honestly, other than the title and some wild bits of speculation from the message boards, I don’t know anything about this project, but that damn title, wow, it’s just so alluring. Bizarro Superman?
I’m almost foaming at the mouth…
