This. I've been waiting for a Flash movie since the 90's TV show.

Hell, I'll even be happy with a new TV series.... why won't they pull the trigger on him?

That's stupid the Flash isn't boring and he doesn't just run fast. You do a Barry Allen movie you get CSI + Superheroics, you do a Wally West movie you get one about a guy living up to a legacy and growing into a major hero. You have two of the most incredibly interesting and fun cities in the DCU with Central and Keystone. The Rogues who are more like the mob with superpowers than just costumed villains. You'll get some of the best love stories in comics with Iris and/or Linda. You get a tradition that starts in the 1940s and goes through to the 853rd century which makes it more than anything a family movie. The opportunity for time travel and what would probably the most interesting SFX with all his speed tricks. You do a Flash movie you get a really fun and complex superhero tale with really high stakes and a type of action we've probably seen before in any movie.

If they can do a GL movie, its no reason whatsover that they can not do a Flash movie. Ryan Reynolds would have been a perfect Wally West,IMO...
 
The Flash, GL, Wonder Woman, and almost any DC superhero (not named Batman or Superman) have this kind of image/stigma that makes the general fan not as interested in them and tend to think they're boring cuz they don't read the comics. It's not like Marvel that somehow has had a strong grip on the youth to make them kinda see the whole Marvel world to at least be open to lesser known guys (cuz imo Cap and Thor aren't huge attention grabbers).

Cartoon shows would help the DC superheroes and better viral marketing overall and it's funny cuz ppl love Supes and most of his movies suck.

I cannot agree with this...DC has been putting out the same amount of cartoons as marvel since the 90's....Batman TAS, Justice League, Superman TAS, Justice League unlimited, Teen Titans, Batman Brave and the Bold, Young Justice, etc.
I would think that the youth would have more problems remembering characters like Bishop, Gambit, Jubilee, Morph, Mr. Sinister and the rest of obscure characters spawned by X-Men TAS or Spider-man, or the Incredible Hulk, or Fantastic Four.

The problem isnt the marketing, it's the storyline that people aren't fond of.  DC has repeatedly got sub-par directors for their movies save for Batman Dark Knight run with Nolan.  Take the first of the trilogy of Batman movies to come out...had Batman, Ras Al Ghul, scarecrow, and cameo's from a bunch of people...casted the right actors and boom...the top superhero movie franchise imo.

What these other DC movies need to do is figure out how big each character is in the DC universe...if their not too strong like Green Lantern is...then get some other characters in it like maybe the Flash, Hawkman, yadda yadda and instead of calling it green lanter...create a JSA movie.  Include a quick couple minutes montage of how each super-hero got their powers add in a couple top notch villans from their rouge's gallery and boom... a way better movie than just using a single character that's lack luster.

Imo DC is more of a small picture company when it comes to movies...they have their star being Batman and continue to churn out other single character movies that suck so that they can keep up with marvel.  They aren't setting up trying to setup a good JLA movie down the road imo.  You can't do that once you have each character suck in their own respective movies.

And you gotta remember, the term "youth" when talking about comic book fans can range from 8 year old to those in their 50's right now.  People have grown up with these characters...and like you said alot of the fanship is in direct correlation to the stories being put out in the comics.  I think Marvel stories are more dark, implicit, and rich while DC has big names, with also rich stories but can be kind of childish if they were to crossover to the big screen.
 
They really need to let me make some of these movies. Gotta mix realism with a genuine script. Thor was alright, but a bunch of unnecessarily corny lines. The dialogue HAS to be realistic. It's why X-men were pretty good movies. It was at least semi plausible.
 
You wanted Thor's dialogue to be realistic? Are you aware of how Thor speaks in the comics? He's a god from another dimension it'd be unrealistic to have him speak normally.
 
Early response to X-Men: First Class is quite strong... I wasn't excited initially for this movie but as it gets closer and after reading this I'm on board 100%
I am happier overall with "X-Men: First Class" than with any other film released so far in the "X-Men" franchise at Fox.  And I suspect that when I see it again before my full review, I may find even more to like about it.  Right now, I'm still sort of in shock at how much of it works, and how ambitious the entire thing is.

I'll have a full review of the film closer to release, and in that, I might get a little spoilery.  But my first impressions of the film are so strong that I want to share the big points without spoiling anything for you.  First, there's the style of the world, the way the mutants are built into reality, and I think one of the things that makes this such a success is the confidence that's part of every choice made by Matthew Vaughn and his creative team.  The film is set in the '40s and the '60s, and while I wouldn't call it realistic, I think the impressionistic take it offers on period is even more fun than if they did it as complete realism.  The powers are so matter of fact, so much a part of the world, that it never feels like the film stops to show off.  "Hey, look, this guy teleports!"  Well, no duh.  That's the sort of movie this is.  People teleport.  The film just takes that as a given, and so action scenes erupt without too much labored exposition or set-up.  We learn how things work as the film needs us to, and not before.  Characters are still discovering their own abilities, still learning how the world around them works.

Michael Fassbender emerges from this one a movie star, no doubt about it.  He's a great Erik, a great nascent Magneto.  He spends the first third of the movie auditioning for James Bond, and as far as I'm concerned, he can have the job whenever Daniel Craig's done with it.  He is a hunter, his powers turned to one effort for his whole life.  There's someone he wants to find, someone he wants to kill.  When he finally crosses paths with Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), he's a raw nerve, totally unable to imagine trusting anyone, never even imagining that there might be more people like him in the world.  Xavier is already hard at work trying to find a way to incorporate mutant society into the mainstream, and he's starting to make real headway.  He's working with Moira McTaggert of the CIA (Rose Byrne), which is what puts him in the right place at the right time to meet Erik.  It's not some cute little wink and a nod, either.  Like the rest of the film, the stakes are high in that first meeting.  There is an urgency to everything these people do that makes this feel like a more significant story than the average comic book movie.

In fact, there's nothing that I would really call "average" about this.  It uses your expectations about the genre to set you up one way, then time and again, reaches for something a little bit more perverse or a little bit more eccentric or a little bit more heartfelt.  "X-Men: First Class" is almost desperately sincere, and I mean that in a good way.  Everyone in the film plays it like they're holding nothing back.  Jennifer Lawrence, for example, is just as dedicated here as Raven, the blue shape-shifting mutant who has lived as a sort of pseudo-sister to Charles since childhood, as she has been in any of the indie films she's done so far.  The way relationships evolve in this film is particularly heartbreaking, because it makes later configurations of people resonate in different ways.  You look at who's hanging out with who in Singer's "X-Men" films now, and it hurts.  Nicolas Hoult has been carving out a very strong career for himself since "About A Boy," and he turns the difficult-and-potentially-ridiculous role of Hank McCoy into something touching and smart.

I like the way history folds into the movie and it is clever without being annoying.  It all makes nice thematic sense, and I think it's well utilized.  I was afraid it was going to be very "Forrest Gump," but it's actually pretty simple and direct.  I think Sebastien Shaw (Kevin Bacon) is a pretty tremendous bad guy, and the way he pushes Charles and Erik to further define their own moral codes makes him more than just This Movie's Magic Power.  He's not "just" a bad guy.  He is, in essence, the thing that forces Charles and Erik to figure out who they really are.  January Jones doesn't have much to do as Emma Frost, but she wears the heck out of some costumes.

Between Sheldon Turner, Bryan Singer, Matthew Vaughn, Jane Goldman, and Ashley Edward Miller & Zack Stentz, this has not been an easy birth, but I am happy to report that it is a successful one.  And this isn't a case of managed expectations, either.  "X-Men: First Class" is a genuinely good movie, not just a good superhero movie.  Big and bold and aggressively told, it feels to me like this is the first film in a brand-new franchise, and even the few very wicked and enjoyable references to Singer's films that are hidden in this one don't tie it down.  This is ground zero, and I think Fox just got it right, really right, in a way I can't say it feels like they have on any of their Marvel films so far.  With the right support, and with this film's key creative team onboard, a sequel to this could well be the "X-Men" epic we've been waiting for since day one.

For now, this is one hell of a start.

"X-Men: First Class" will be in theaters June 3, 2011.

If you've seen Speed Racer/The Matrix, then you know the W. Brothers would be the PERFECT directors. Cut to bullet time + Speed Flash up slightly, and you have a crazy super speed dynamic...
