If you have been wondering where The Flash movie is or when will Warner Bros. make a Wonder Woman movie…I’ve got some awesome news to share.
For a little while I’d been hearing from a few sources that Warner Bros. had a plan for their DC comics library and we’d be hearing about it soon. After all, they own a tremendous amount of superheroes and they’re doing almost nothing with them. What I was told was after the Harry Potter franchise ended next year, they’d need a new franchise or franchises for their tent pole releases and the plan was to use their huge vault of DC superheroes as their replacements! More after the jump:
And at today’s Showest presentation, WB head honcho Alan Horn confirmed the news. I forget exactly what he said on stage, but it’s essentially what I heard: DC Superheroes are coming and they’d replace Harry Potter.
The thing you need to realize is under Alan Horn, Warner Bros. instituted a tent pole release strategy which calls for a few event films to be made every year. For the last decade, Harry Potter has been used to fill the release calendar and now that the franchise is ending after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, the studio needs need blood to take it’s place and a new way of earning the huge money that only tent pole releases can generate.
Enter DC Superheroes.
While nothing is officially on the calendar yet, I’ve heard in 2012 we’re getting not only a new Batman movie…but The Flash! I’ve heard the studio is currently talking to directors and they’ll announce who it is when they’ve found the right choice.
Again, The Flash isn’t confirmed, but I’m telling you, it’s the next new superhero movie at Warner Bros. and we’re going to hear about it soon.
As a comic book movie junkie, I am beyond excited WB is finally getting into the game with their unbelievable library of characters.
The big question is…will Green Lantern do what the first Iron Man movie did and drop a character or two from the DC comics library as a nod to the fans. I think the studio has watched Marvel with envious eyes and they’re going to emulate what’s been working. But that’s just my guess. More as I hear it.
Finally, the WB Showest presentation today rocked the house. More on that soon.

Cmon,give more info! The wait is killing me!
i hope this is true!
I love The Flash!
Cool!!! I would love to see SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT as the FLASH.
And either…COBIE SMULDERS (how i met your mother) Or EVANGELINE LILLY (Kate-LOST)
As WONDER WOMAN
heck yes..!!!
I think Warner Bros. is one of the better run studios at the moment but i think the problem with these properties is that outside of the community that reads the comics, no one knows much about the characters. I know of The Flash, Green Lantern etc but not that much about the stories and characters themselves. However i hope they do well with them.
I don't know what kind of audience follow Harry Potter — if anyone would fill me up..? are they teenagers? early 20s? are they the kind of people who would watch a DC movie..? I love the idea of having a lot of DC movies but.. who knows
all types of people.
They're not necessarily the same crowd, insofar as I know a lot of people who read Harry Potter but don't touch comic books, and vice versa. However, both seem to have universal appeal when a mainstream, entertainment-focused, faithful adaptation is made from them.
Isn't Flash a bit… boring? I'd prefer Wonder Woman.
George Miller's JL movie is starting to look more and more like the way it should've gone, isn't it?
I mean you'd rather see these characters in their best light than struggling thru their own franchises. Oh well.
I want supermannnnn dammit i wanna it now. Either bring Routh back or Tom Welling.
Flash can be fun as long as it's Wally West, and he has a ton of cool bad guys. Wonder Woman on the other hand. She has HORRIBLE foes..She has a kitty girl (Cheetah) , and a midget (Doctor Psycho). Yawn.
Very good point. I was thinking of the hero and the origin story, but the villains are at least half the story, and without good villains the hero is crap.
Exactly, this is only because Disney merged with Marvel however Warner Bros is practically labelled on ever DC entertainment product so why now? They could have done this decades ago.
yep i love The Flash too, but Wonder Woman is also awesome…
