3. Ryan Kwanten
Another fan-favorite, Kwanten gained some notoriety for his role in Alan Ball's True Blood, and to his credit, he's quite good in it. Kwanten seems fully capable of portraying both Allen and Flash, and let's be honest, the ladies aren't going to mind staring at him for 120 minutes either. My only question is if he's able to carry a film, let alone a franchise. If he is, then I'm all for him taking the role. As long as Kwanten's Barry can be portrayed as a human being first, above being an action hero caricature with special abilities, then I have no problem with him strapping up and duking it out with Mirror Master and Captain Cold. He certainly looks the part of the fastest man alive.

Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
