5. Matthew Morrison
I understand how this choice could seem fairly left-field, but Morrison is
my top choice for the role. I would ask that you would put aside any disdain for
Glee that you may have (as I'm no fan, either), and look at the actor in the light of the actual character. I think the Flash is a phenomenal character, but he doesn't brood like Batman, doesn't have Superman's optimistic naivety, isn't fierce like Wonder Woman, or (and this is what fans tend to forget) isn't even the charming sensation that is Hal Jordan's Green Lantern; Barry Allen is the normal, likable
human of the bunch. Morrison's got the look and
the body for the role, as well as the ability to channel a genuinely good and realistic Barry Allen. Barry Allen shouldn't be comparable with Hal Jordan in personality to the point where they become interchangeable; the two are best friends but approach morality and scenarios differently. I'd like to see Morrison not only have a crack at donning the red suit, but also coming off as a real forensic expert. A
Flash franchise could be the best Superman/Batman collaboration we get, combining the mystery-noir elements from the Dark Knight's tales with the fantastical ones of Superman's.
