Flash Forward

David Goyer, currently riding high as the screenwriter of the most faithful movie Batman adapatation ever, is starting to talk about his next project -- The Flash, which he will write and direct (which he also did for Blade: Trinity, so that may be some cause for concern).

In a recent interview with the New York Daily News, not only does Goyer talk about Batman, but he drops some hints about his take on the Fastest Man Alive:

"Fans know there's been more than one Flash over the years," Goyer adds. "There's been a lot of speculation and rumor, but both Barry Allen and Wally West will be in this movie."

Goyer is referring to the The Flash's "normal" identity. He started as Jay Garrick in 1940. Allen took over in 1956 and Wallace (introduced as Kid Flash in 1959) in 1986.

"We're going to go into the 'Speed Force' and a lot of the cosmic aspects of the character from the more recent past," Goyer says. "Trust me, we're going to do a lot more than have the Flash run on water and create vortexes."


The article also includes plenty of quotes from Batman Begins star Christian Bale on the character. Pretty good read overall.
