Geoff Johns Confirms Plans For The Flash Movie Adaptation!

At the DC Nation Comic Con Panel, the comic book writer briefly confirmed that work is moving ahead on a Flash movie and once again dropped hints that we'll see Batgirl outside of the comic books.

As I'm sure you'll have noticed by now, I've been posting some of the best bits of the comic book movie related panels at Comic Con directly from our friends at Newsarama as they have been keeping us updated with several live feeds direct from the event. Well, in today's "DC Nation" panel, which wrapped just a little while ago, I spotted the following:

Flash movie? Johns said that it's in the works, but he can't say anything about it. "There will be no running," he joked. "And his costume is gonna be blue. Is that cool?"

A familiar question from earlier today — "What happened to Cassandra Cain?" A different answer — "You'll see outside of comics in something I'm working on," Johns said.

I'm sure we can all agree that it's great to hear further confirmation that DC/WB are still moving ahead with bringing the character to the big screen! Perhaps just as interesting is the fact that Johns once again mentions Cassandra Cain (Batgirl) after the site yesterday reported, Cassandra Cain fans will be very happy to hear there are apparently plans for her outside of comics. A replacement for Smallville perhaps?

	It's kind of sad someone needs to come in and do EVERYTHING. Give me a Flash movie in any way and I'm happy. Creature - 7/23/2010, 6:09 PM
	I know I'm not entirely up to recent events of the DCU, but isn't Cassandra Cane BatWOMAN, not BatGIRL? MaxJaybo - 7/23/2010, 6:09 PM
	@Creature I know what you mean. It seems Geoff Johns, David Goyer and Chris Nolan have to do ALL the work. Dynamo - 7/23/2010, 6:13 PM
	:O!!! goodnes!! Erickz - 7/23/2010, 6:14 PM

	Flash Movie!! :D :D :D REDSTORM - 7/23/2010, 6:16 PM
	MaxJaybo: Although they have similar sounding names, it's actually Kathy Kane who is Batwoman! Cassandra Cain was Batgirl from 1999 until last year when Stephanie Brown took over! :) God knows why DC couldnt have given them slightly different sounding names to avoid the confusion though, lol!

	This would be great if they ever do it. As far as Cane I hope they tell us something soon. twiztied - 7/23/2010, 6:31 PM
	YAYAYAYAYAY CASSANDRA CAIN IS COMING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and in the hands of my favorite writer, no less! dav1dca1n - 7/23/2010, 6:32 PM
	Same thing that they always say. "We're talking about stuff for sure. But we can't talk about it any further than that. We ARE talking about stuff though, so you never know." InTylerWeTrust - 7/23/2010, 6:32 PM
	Superman17: Welcome to CBM! :) As for The Flash, he's not my favourite character, but a movie would be [frick]ing awesome!!! Here's hoping they get the ball rolling sooner rather than later! JoshW - 7/23/2010, 6:33 PM
	Intruder: That line-up sounds pretty damned perfect to me mate! JoshW - 7/23/2010, 6:37 PM
	Sounds great. ToughGrappler - 7/23/2010, 6:39 PM
	Geoff if Royalty in the comic book realm! Atleast The Flash is actually progressing. Johns was hesitant to talk about GL when it was still developing and look what happened it's almost done filming. ChrisdPatriot - 7/23/2010, 6:44 PM
	Finally! AlexDeLarge666 - 7/23/2010, 6:46 PM
	@joshw-It does doesnt it?Lets just see if they have the stones to pull it off! Oo Intruder . - 7/23/2010, 6:47 PM
	if johns helms the flash script or a future GL script...i will jizz till i die... as for cass cain, outside of comics i never thought id see her...she rocks in books but where will she pop up i ask? Anil Rickly - 7/23/2010, 7:03 PM
	I could see a batgirl t.v. Show. That could work superdog - 7/23/2010, 7:27 PM
	@Anil Rickly Well last I heard he wrote the treatment for the Flash movie, so my hopes are high! groundrunner15 - 7/23/2010, 7:43 PM
	They keep on saying they have plans, but they never DO anything. This is dumb seriously, WB moves WAY too slowly with their films LP4 - 7/23/2010, 7:58 PM
	@JoshW Awesome find! Glad to hear that DC is really starting to take their other characters into consideration. Watch out MARVEL! By the way, thanks again for reading my editorial. I did put a lot of work into it and I'm glad to hear it payed off. :) Just in case you didn't see it ... @Superman17 And welcome aboard! :D AverageCitizen99 - 7/23/2010, 8:26 PM
	This non-news is dumb and frustating! They're supposed to make some ground shaking announcements at SDCC this year. If this is it, I might cancel my subscriptions. Talk is cheap. No directors, writers, script, or actors are mentioned. Just, "we're moving forward." WTH does that mean?!?!? Phinehas - 7/23/2010, 8:38 PM
	What????? A blue flash?!?!?!?!? What the fck people. This is not fringe's paralelle universe. A blue flash... omg.. I am all about inovative changes (i.e. a more high tech suit for superman) but bringing flash blue is the same as making the Hulk yellow. WTF? steelrocks30* - 7/23/2010, 8:41 PM
	omg I still cant believe this sht. I hope he's just playing. Haters! Stop changing stuff from the comics.. steelrocks30* - 7/23/2010, 8:43 PM
	Finally!!!! LOL SHAZAM171 - 7/23/2010, 8:51 PM
	What do they mean about his costume being blue? It's gotta be red. elijaho6 - 7/23/2010, 8:57 PM
	Superman17@ Welcome to the insane asylum! You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave! :-) elijaho6@ It's a joke. ;-) Looks like they are setting up for a JLA movie. :-) Ranger14 - 7/23/2010, 9:03 PM
	What do they mean about his costume being blue? It's gotta be red. elijaho6 - 7/23/2010, 9:05 PM
	@enrygarciavet- Calm down buddy. It says up there that he was only joking. This is one film that I hope Nolan takes a back seat on. I love his work but haven't really seen him up the humor. Flash needs that and Gorilla Grodd FTW! @Ranger- I tried once and they cut me. Upupandaway - 7/23/2010, 9:07 PM
	yes to the flash movie! no to batgirl unless its a tv show. KALel3412 - 7/23/2010, 9:11 PM
	The whole blue suit thing is most likely a joke. thats like batman running around in a dress>>It doesnt make sense. The only thing Im concerned with is the SCRIPT, as long as they get it right, it wont turn out like "cough" "batman and robin" Superman17 - 7/23/2010, 9:12 PM
	oh and thanks for the welcome guys:p Superman17 - 7/23/2010, 9:13 PM
	the blue suit thing is obviously a joke lol. but the running thing isnt. the flash is going to be a starcraft master and super hacker. He types faster than computers can think! theartofoneness - 7/23/2010, 10:05 PM
	Man I would be SO excited with a Flash movie! What a wonderful time to be a comic book fan. Took forty years to see them start popping up on the silver screen, but WOW. ALL the new projects in the pipeline, sounds like DC wants to wake up and fight. And that is GOOD for the fans. DC hitting their own film slate hot and heavy is just gonna make Marvel Films work harder to make better and better movies, and vice-versa. I can just imagine what comic book movies we will have been treated to by the time we settle into those movie theater seats for "Justice League of America" in 2020! bropous - 7/23/2010, 10:10 PM
	Bropus@ If it takes DC 10 years to deliver a JLA movie, that in and of itself will be a fail. They would have to recast all the roles by that time. Ranger14 - 7/23/2010, 10:25 PM
	I cannot wait to see THE FLASH come out on the big screen first In my opinion I casted Mark-Paul Gosselaar to play "The Fastest Man Alive" and he hasn't played a superhero in awhile. Right now, he is starring in RAISING THE BAR ? I hope he can make that decision to play "Flash/Barry Allen". SupermanReturns2006 - 7/23/2010, 10:42 PM
	This is not cool... Flash in Blue??? it should be red. How dare u arjay - 7/23/2010, 10:56 PM
	LMAO...do people not read the articles lol :P Good stuff Josh@ ; ) gotta agree with Phin@ tho...bloody DC are always so bloody hesitant with their live action projects :) Superman17@ Welcome and there will be boobs :P teabag - 7/23/2010, 11:25 PM
	Is this the big DC news Johns was hinting at? blinkuldhc - 7/23/2010, 11:48 PM
	@Phin- I might cancel my kid's Tiny Titans subscription. : ) I do like that DC seems to be building (however slowly) a live-action movie team. Hopefully, when they have all of that worked out, we'll get more streamlined releases. I really hope GL does well because it's the first (I'm not counting Hex.) time they've really tried to expand on their universe outside of the big 2 (Supes & Bats). Upupandaway - 7/23/2010, 11:52 PM
	@LP4 What do you want them to do? Make a crappy Fast movie? No pun intended. Johns is working his butt off we got a Green Lantern movie finally on it's away Flash will probably be Green lit once a script is finished and other DC projects will follow just be patient. ToughGrappler - 7/24/2010, 12:10 AM
	@ joshw your a very busy man,good work. bout [frick]ing time,we've been waiting to long for a flash movie. @ teabag boobs are better than blood. deadpool72 - 7/24/2010, 1:18 AM
	[frick] THE AVENGERS, can't wait for THE FLASH, oh and l8r the JLA!!!! Bring it on! SUPES17 @ Welcome dude! :) LEEE777 - 7/24/2010, 1:39 AM
	flash is not going to be blue you gullible fools. neonrehan - 7/24/2010, 2:21 AM
	with arabic accent The Flash is gonna be the shit I tell you! Btw, are you guys [frick]ing kidding me with the blue suit comments? Really? REALLY? IT'S A [frick]ING JOKE. HE WAS BEING SARCASTIC. USE YOUR [frick]ING BRAIN. Unbelievable. shakes head in embarassment Chad Vital - 7/24/2010, 2:47 AM
	@ ToughGrappler for real right?! they just got their shit together like 2 years ago and we're already getting a green lantern movie. i mean come the f on. deathmetalbrian - 7/24/2010, 2:49 AM
	Wally West's Flash, please. Barry isn't my Flash. Superguy1591 - 7/24/2010, 4:12 AM
	BARRY ALLEN is the first (sorta) and best FLASH... Tom Welling,,, um I mean Superguy! ; P WALLY WEST is gr8 for a sequel! LEEE777 - 7/24/2010, 5:46 AM
	But Wally is faster than Barry. FACT! Wally is also a funny character, Barry is like Hal Jordan. A blue collar type of guy. With Superman, Batman, Hal Jordan, Martian, WW all the cast of the JL, the movie is going to need comic relief. Wally West, and I hope they cast Michael Rosenbaum. And no Aquaman in the JL movie! Black Canary, please! 6 dudes and 1 dame is not my ideal team. Superguy1591 - 7/24/2010, 6:53 AM
	Oh look ANOTHER Flash movie rumour Love the Flash but it ain't going to happen. Unless they do Flash as an epic, with a film about each Flash (not necessarily Jay though) then they aren't doing it properly. Allen and West both deserve a big movie. SoulAllFlush - 7/24/2010, 7:44 AM
	Are they talking about live action or animated. I assume it's live action but I'm just checking. I prefer Barbra Gordan over Cassandra Cain. golden123 - 7/24/2010, 8:24 AM
	hell yeah secretasianboy - 7/24/2010, 9:18 AM
	Oh yeah. Finally. Protonite - 7/24/2010, 9:55 AM
	Yay! Ze Flash. I bet his suit is gonna be all muscle fibery like all the other "updated looks". The Exposed Muscle Fiber League of America. Betty - 7/24/2010, 10:01 AM
	Woo Hoo! Finally! batcavepwnsphonebooth - 7/24/2010, 11:12 AM
	JENSEN ACKLES FOR THE FLASH!!! AsianAvenger - 7/24/2010, 11:44 AM
	FLASH MOVIE NOW!!!! Oh and Bradley Cooper for Barry Allen/The Flash. AngelAragiel - 7/24/2010, 12:33 PM
	FLASH MOVIE!!!!!!!! McLovin - 7/24/2010, 12:39 PM
	FLASH MOVIE!!! SWEET! Legomaster - 7/25/2010, 3:06 AM
	Yeah I just hope that actually make a damn Flash film and don't swing around and say, "Oh sorry, but the movie's been 'shelved'" as they have so many times in the past. I am admittedly not a big huge fan of The Flash, but at the same time I still have some amount of love and appreciation for the character. I am therefore very eager to see a live-action Flash film all freakin' ready, and I am getting sick and tired of the project of making such a movie being 'thrown out the window' as the sane goes. So DC, JUST MAKE THE GOD DAMN MOVIE WOULD YOU PLEASE?! abw2 - 7/25/2010, 9:53 PM
