Not sure about Grant Gustin as Flash and the costume really needed updating as well.

Is that an actual shot of the costume?

Doomed.

Sadly yes.

It's from his upcoming series, Flash. He appeared on Arrow as an intro to the character but is getting his own show. Costume does look rather cheap in that shot. Here's hoping it looks better with proper lighting/effects...

Although this does mean there will be two versions of Green Arrow and Flash on TV and film. I don't understand why DC don't better organise this sort of stuff. Unless they're happy to leave the TV to explore his origins and let the film version just have adventures, which could work actually.

Its a bit maroon for a character whose nickname is 'the scarlet speedster'

Yeah, some of the name's are crap, but I'm guessing only the core team will be present here, and their names aren't too bad really. Costumes can and will be altered I'd imagine.
The names are pretty terrible and the costumes, far more than marvel, are parts of their core identity. Its why everyone shat themselves when JMS made her put on some trousers.

If the studio are going to let themselves be dictated to by fanboys who don't have the first clue about how to make a marketable movie, then it really is doomed.

Hopefully Warner/Snyder tell them to fuck off. Although I suppose that'll just piss off the hardcore crowd who they'll want to have on-side.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Maybe they are fucked.

Well, the problem, certainly, is that to outgun superman, you have to have 'cosmic' level threats which relegates batman to being 'the brains' and characters like the flash just running around saving puny humans while gods fight above them.

They'll just have to have multiple threats going on, or depower him somehow. It's a lazy solution, but easily enough done. If he's still getting used to his powers and everyone else is super leet that'll help too.

You only have to watch a few of the Bruce Tim cartoons to see how it's done really. They're really very good.

In fact, rather than having Superman being the head of the JL, you could have them being a clandestine team that have been operating for ages and decide to let Supes join. Keep him on the back foot. Like Homer in the Freemasons.

"But you let in Clark J!"

Flash is faster, he can run faster than light.

Now I must go and kill myself.

They are cartoons though, crissypoo. Youve got infinite scope and special effects budget in a cartoon and peoples expectations of them are generally adjusted.

I'm sure this has been covered in one of the comics - is the flash faster than superman?

Yup

Yup, first Byran Singer, then Zack Snyder.

I still think if people end up liking Guardians of the Galaxy, JL will probably be alright. Plus there's Dr Strange and Ant-Man coming out before this too, neither of which have 'cool' names or particularly great powers.

David Goyer will definitely write it, so its nailed on to be shit.

Goyer is a strange one. He's written some absolute turkeys but also some decent stuff.

If you look at his CV, the good stuff is outnumbered by shit by at least 10 to 1.

That is true. Also, I'd hazard a guess that anything good he's written has been heavily influenced by someone else, a la Nolan.

From what I've read Arrow will only be a cameo role.

I just can't see Gustin carrying the role onto the big screen as Flash is a big part of Justice League.

How come Zach Snyder is given some of the coolest properties to work with? Watchmen, Superman vs Batman, Justice League. This movie sounds great on paper, but with Snyder at the helm, I have to manage my expectations.
