A couple of years back, you’ll recall, Ryan Reynolds was in talks to play ‘The Flash’ in David Goyer’s film adaptation of the DC comic.

When Goyer left the project, assumingly so did funny man Reynolds.

That doesn’t mean the brothers Warner aren’t still keen on having Reynolds play the character though – even if it’s for the “Justice League of America” movie; the ‘Superfriends’ united film that’ll see the character share the screen with such caped luminaries as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.

Reynolds talked to MTV about the possibility of him wearing the red tights and the “Smokin’Aces” star gave a rather interesting answer. Sounds to me like someone’s had a chat to him about coming onboard.

“I don't really know how much I'm allowed to talk about that stuff. But I'm sure they'll figure out something. It's no secret that they have a JLA script and it's a project that's in development – the contents of which, who knows. We'll see."



Update! : Yes, its true that Brandon Routh and Christian Bale won't be starring as Superman and Batman, respectively, in the "Justice League" movie - but they will both still be starring in the stand-alone "Superman" and "Batman" sequels. So don't fret fans, there will only be a new Bats and Supes for the team-up movie.

A source at Warner Bros this morning let slip that the "Justice League" movie is just as full-steam ahead as the rumours suggest it is. It will definitely be up next year.

A casting director for the movie will be onboard next week and it's then that they'll be going after their tighted strongmen.

Director George Miller ("Mad Max") has some ideas who he'd like to cast as Batman and Superman but naturally, they mightn't be the same faces the WB want.

So within the next month we should start seeing a few announcements about the movie.

Meanwhile, our friends at IESB had a chat to Christian Bale who confirmed that he hasn't been asked back to don the tar cape.
