WB Expecting Flash & Green Lantern 2 Drafts by Christmas
Mon, October 11, 2010 
After years of seeing Marvel one-up them, Warner Brothers/DC Entertainment is slowly, but surely, getting the leg up – especially when you factor in Marvel starting to show they're far from bullet-proof in the eyes of fandom (i.e. Iron Man 2 sucking, the Edward Norton situation, the uncertainty of Captain America and Thor next summer, etc.)
Fans will be treated to Martin Campbell's Green Lantern (deep in post-production) next June and 2012 will be their big nut with Christopher Nolan's Batman 3 for July 20, 2012 and the Zack Snyder-directed, Nolan-produced Superman: The Man of Steel for that Christmas.
There have yet to be any concrete plans beyond 2012, although the studio is certainly getting the ball rolling with The Flash and a Green Lantern sequel being commissioned in the writing development stage of the game. "TOLDJA" reports the script for the Scarlet Speedster and a treatment for a potential Lantern follow-up are expected to be turned in by this Christmas at the latest. Both are concurrently being written by Lantern scribes Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim.
Meanwhile, our pals at Movie Hole report that although it's in the early days of The Flash. The studio is, not surprisingly, eyeing actors to potentially wear the red-and-gold suit. Word is through their spies that the front-runner for Barry Allen is none other than Bradley Cooper, star of the studio's mad-money printing comedy The Hangover and its currently-filming Memorial Day 2011 sequel. If you'll remember, Cooper was a leading contender for Hal Jordan before Ryan Reynolds nabbed it.
