If they go west and cant get reynolds then I would look to a person like topher Grace only put him on protein shakes and some real excercise to bulk up some and then lean that muscle out. Topher did great as venom could do great as wally west if reynolds osnt chosen. As for the the roles I would prefer Barry allen and I would love to see Josh hartnick play barry and Meagan Fox as iris, I would love to see a story line using the trickster or captain cold. Anyway i would like a great script and dont let brett ratber abywhere near that.

To me, an origin story introduces the character, the setting, the supporting characters, and the means to which the person came to their superpower(s). It shows them making the adjustment from regular person to superpowered-person. I think the need is different with different characters. Superman and Batman benefit from origin stories. Wonder Woman definitely would, too. Their origins define their outlook and the way they go about being a hero. I don't think Wally, (or Hal Jordan for that matter, although I love his origin), needs it. I'm not saying it's not fun or useful, just that it's not completely necessary for a movie. It'd be easy enough to have a voice over at the beginning of the movie mention the accident in the lab. Wally doesn't have a particular "I am vengeance!" or "I am for Justice!" He fights criminals because they're criminals and he is powerful enough to take them on. I'm not saying an origin story wouldn't be fun or do well. I'm just saying, you could skip it and dive right into two hours of battling Gorilla Grodd. .-= Wally East's latest blog post: <a href="http://adventuresinicecream.blogspot.com/2008/08/awesome-arena.html" rel="nofollow">Awesome Arena!</a> =-.

And, reflecting further, I agree, that wouldn't be a good first movie. But, I don't think you need an origin movie. He runs fast, really, really fast. The audience doesn't necessarily need to know a lot more than that. Yes, Race Against Time. And, reflecting further, I agree, that wouldn’t be a good first movie.

For one thing we should not jump into the series with Wally and Linda married and expecting, maybe that would work for a sequel, but for the first flash movie they should have it as linda as a love interest, then towards the end wally and linda get together, or something else like that. And race against time would possibly work as a sequel, but we should introduce keystone and centeral city and things like that before we do anything like that. Also if we had that as the plot of the first one movie goers might think of Wally more as a time traveler than a speedster. They should do something were wally gets his speed by visiting barry at the lab, and at that time Barry is the the flash, then we fast foward years later after barry has died and no one has seen the flash for years. Wally decides to take the mantle after he realizes that he has super speed. The rogues who are in Iron heights want revenge against the flash, but no one has seen him in years. Then all of a sudden the Flash reappears (This being Wally). So the rogues devise a plan to break out and get revenge against the man who locked them away. I have to disagree with both of you there.
