50 Comic Book Movies That Almost Got Made

18. David S. Goyer€™s The Flash

In late 2004, David S. Goyer was attached to write and direct a film focusing on DC€™s resident fast guy, The Flash, with Charles Roven producing. After directing him in Blade Trinity, Goyer wanted Ryan Reynolds for the role, initially as Wally West and then Barry Allen as the script developed. Citing The Flash as his favorite superhero, Goyer finished the screenplay and submitted it to WB. Despite being "very expensive to make" little is known about the plot. Unfortunately WB didn't like his vision for the film and the project was eventually abandoned. Reynolds went on to play Hal Jordan instead in the critically mauled Green Lantern, but looks set to redeem himself €“ hopefully €“ as Deadpool in 2016.
