4) Flash V Green Lantern
While it has not been officially confirmed, a release schedule for DC’s upcoming comic book adaptations has created huge buzz online recently, suggesting that the publisher is making plans to emulate the success of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. One of the most intriguing projects mentioned was a crossover movie featuring both Green Lantern and the Flash.
Pairing these two heroes on the big screen could be a smart choice for DC if handled right. The combination of two iconic characters in one movie is an enticing prospect for fans and if the film does fail, then the blame will be equally shared between both heroes. It certainly makes sense for DC to move forward cautiously, particularly with Green Lantern, as the failure of the hero’s previous venture is still fresh in the minds of cinema-goers and critics alike.
The Flash and Green Lantern share a rich heritage in the comics, regularly teaming up against threats too large for them to face on their own, so there are a number of classic storylines the screenwriters could draw upon for a movie adaptation. Inevitably, the plot will build towards the two heroes eventually uniting against a common enemy, but the one thing every fan will really look forward to is a potential confrontation between the iconic pair.
The Flash is supposed to be the ‘Fastest Man Alive,’ but can he outrun Green Lantern’s thought constructs?
