Leave a comment

Earlier this morning The CW unveiled its plans to develop a Flash television series. In fact, CW president Mark Pedowitz was on-hand at today’s TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour where he confirmed that The Flash is actively being developed, saying that Dr. Barry Allen will be introduced as a recurring character in Arrow: Season 2 and that they’re “planning an origin story” for the character.

The network’s plans of course raised questions about rumors that Warner Bros. was planning to develop a Flash movie leading into the oft-discussed Justice League film which many speculate will follow the studio’s announced Superman/Batman movie.

The Internet is constantly abuzz with superhero movie rumors these days, but one of the biggest at the moment is Latino Review is reporting that Christian Bale will reprise his role as Batman in the Justice League of America movie, despite his Bruce Wayne effectively hanging up the cape and cowl at the end of The Dark Knight Rises. The site also claims that Christopher Nolan will oversee development of JLA in a sort of godfather role.


It remains to be seen if these rumors will pan out. However, the rumor has us wondering all the more if it’s really such a good idea for Warner Bros. to be jumping from this summer’s Superan reboot, Man of Steel, straight into a JLA ensemble movie. We’re of the opinion that it might be better to to build slowly towards JLA and first offer fans a movie that almost came to pass a decade ago – a Superman/Batman movie. As DC’s two biggest heroes, they’ve enjoyed a long history together in the company’s various World’s Finest comics and similar projects. In this feature, we explore why it might be better to go the World’s Finest route first and save JLA for later on the calendar.
