Wonder Woman/ The Flash

I think both Wonder Woman and The Flash are going to be at least 4 or 5 years till they get to the cinema screens if they ever do make it!
I dont know if anyone else has mentioned this but David Goyer new DC film is this one:

""Super Max" is Goyer's take on supervillain incarceration in the DC Universe. Revolving around a wrongly convicted Green Arrow being whisked away to the super max prison for out-of-control heroes and villains, the man is forced to face a number of inmates he put there.

Goyer likens the film to "Alcatraz" - "He has to team up with, in some cases, some of the very same villains he is responsible for incarcerating in order to get out and clear his name. Of course, tons of people try to kill him while he's in there. We've populated the prison with all sorts of B and C villains from the DC Universe... but they're all going to be there under their human names and no one is wearing a costume, but there will be a lot of characters with powers and things like that."

Goyer, developing the project with writer Justin Marx, says the Green Arrow will only make a small appearance in costume - "He's Green Arrow for the first 10 minutes of the movie, and then he's arrested and his secret identity is revealed".
 
Well it looks like neither of these movies could be made now, as WB want to rush through a Justice League of America movie.

Christian Bale has ruled himself out... he wants to concentrate on doing the Nolan movies.
 
Yeah they are recasting Batman and Superman for the JLA film which is strange as it is in Brandon Roath and Christain Bale contracts that they have to do a JLA film but they have deceided to recast!
 
We'll know by next week.

Bale's contract is for 3 films as Batman, so he rightly wants to do his Nolan trilogy first.

Routh is contracted for a JLA movie and the Superman sequel, so it's interesting that he's not doing it.

Ryan ReynolRAB has mentioned something about the JLA movie, but I can't remember what.

I presume the best explanation really is that they are getting a voice cast and it will be CGI.
 
I've never read a good Wonder Woman story and I've only ever read one great Flash story (Crisis on infinite Earth's).

So yeah, I think this might be development hell. But with the amount of comic book films racking in cash these days, you never know.
 
The Flash has got a director according to Dark Horizons:

"Director David Dobkin ("Fred Claus") has signed on to helm "The Flash" reports MTV News.

Dobkin ("Wedding Crashers") says his adaptation won't be the character's first appearance in theaters, with the Flash a major part of George Miller's Justice League movie.

Dobkin confirmed that his movie will be set in the same universe as Justice League as a direct spin-off, meaning whoever they cast for 'League' will likely reprise the role.

He added that the Flash they will use is "Wally West." Shawn Levy and David Goyer were previously attached to direct."

Also this was on Superherohype about the Wonder Woman film which has now stalled:

"SCI FI Wire is reporting that the Wonder Woman movie being produced by Joel Silver for Warner Bros. has now stalled while the studio focuses on George Miller's Justice League and movies based on DC Comics' male heroes like Flash and Green Lantern.

Joel Silver, who was producing the now-stalled Wonder Woman movie, told reporters that the project has been placed on the back burner in light of another impending superhero film. "They're going to make the Justice League movie, and we're kind of pausing on Wonder Woman now," Silver said in a news conference while promoting Fred Claus. "Let them go ahead and do that picture [first]."

The Amazon superhero from the DC Comics series will be a major part of the upcoming JLA. "And if that comes together, Wonder Woman will be a part of that story," Silver said. "And then we'll see where we go from there. But we struggled with it for a while. I hope that we can solve it and make it one day."
 
So it seems this Justice League movie will act as a vehicle for spin off movies for the near future?

I guess WB thought that was the only way people'd watch the solo movies, if they'd already been introduced to them onscreen.
