Rumors are circulating that Neil Patrick Harris might play the Flash in the upcoming DC movie. Other actors rumored for the role are Scott Porter and Ryan Reynolds.
I haven't seen Porter or Reynolds in anything, but I love Neil Patrick Harris. He's hilarious on How I Met Your Mother, and he showcased his talent as Dr. Horrible in Joss Whedon's summer internet sensation, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Harris is excellent with comedy (that helps -- Flash tends to be light-hearted), and he has the look. I didn't know this, but he voiced the Flash in a Justice League animated movie.
I'm a fan of the genre, so I have no problem with Hollywood making superhero movies. I don't know very much about the Flash, so I'm looking forward to a full-length film.
DC is taking a darker perspective comic book movies because Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were so successful. The Man of Steel is supposed to be a darker version of Superman, for example. A bright movie about the Flash will be a nice balance, comparable to Iron Man in the Marvel universe.
