More Rewrites on the Flash Movie

1 Reply

Variety reports that Joby Harold is rewriting the Flash movie script, as the studio wants to take the movie in “a new direction” while they find a new director. Rick Famuyiwa left in November due to creative differences with the studio. Harold has two scripts in production right now, a King Arthur film coming this May and a Robin Hood film in pre-production.

Ezra Miller is still signed on to play Barry Allen, and Kiersey Clemons to play Iris West.

The March 2018 (?) film takes place in the DC cinematic universe, alongside Batman v. Superman, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman and Justice League.

April solicitations aren’t due out until next Monday, though for some reason Bleeding Cool has most of them up already.

Flash/Batman Crossover In April-May

Leave a reply

It was widely announced on Thursday that there will be a four-issue crossover between The Flash and Batman books this coming April/May, in which the duo will tackle the enigma of the blood-spattered button in the Batcave. You may remember that cliffhanger from the DC Universe: Rebirth issue last May, and while the readers are privy to the source of the button, the characters wouldn’t be.

The story will take place in the #21 and #22 issues of both books, with creative teams Tom King and artist Jason Fabok (Batman), and Joshua Williamson and Howard Porter (Flash). Pretty cool to see Porter back on the Flash title, even if it’s only for a bit!

CBR has more of the details on the series, including a few comments from Williamson and Dan DiDio. And here’s DC’s official description of the crossover:

“Two greatest detectives in the DC Universe unite to unravel the mystery behind a certain blood stained smiley face button stuck in the Batcave wall. However, what begins as a simple investigation soon turns deadly when the secrets of the button prove irresistible to an unwelcome third party — and it’s not who anyone suspects! This is a mystery woven throughout time, and the countdown starts here!”

Should be interesting, and one wonders who the unwelcome intruder is. It’s a shame that original Wally West doesn’t seem to be getting involved in the search too, but he’s definitely been finding some of the details over in the Titans book from Abra Kadabra, so I guess he’s still involved in his own way.

Looking forward to the crossover? What do you hope to see in it?

Flash #14 Preview

FreakSugar has a five page preview of next week’s issue of Flash , which you can read at the link. The issue will feature the return of the Rogues, and as you can see in the preview, will attempt to blend their pre- and post-Flashpoint selves into a whole. It’ll be interesting to see what Joshua Williamson does with it.

THE FLASH
Written by JOSHUA WILLIAMSON—Art and cover by CARMINE DI GIANDOMENICO—Variant cover by DAVE JOHNSON

“ROGUES RELOADED” part one! Central City is quiet…a little too quiet. Which means one thing: the Rogues are up to something, and only The Flash can stop them! But first Barry Allen needs to track down his classic cadre of villains, who’ve vanished in advance of their greatest plan ever. Plus, artist extraordinaire Carmine Di Giadomenico returns!
