"The Flash" Treatment Handed In!
Fri, September 10, 2010 
Marc Guggenheim, one part of the writing trio behind the upcoming Green Lantern revealed to Newsarama that their treatment for The Flash has been handed in to the studio.
"We've turned in the treatment for Flash," Guggenheim said of the movie, which will be based on the DC Comics speedster. "And we're talking about Green Lantern 2."
It was previously reported that the same writing team responsible for Green Lantern had not only been commissioned to put something together for The Flash, but also Green Lantern 2 as well. The rumor at the time was that Warner Bros was so confident in the film they were willing to move forward with scripts for an entire trilogy. Despite the rumours though, only that of Green Lantern 2 and the treatment handed in for The Flash were true.
"It would be a quality problem to have, to think about a third. But one step at a time,"
"I think where that came out of was, when Greg Berlanti originally pitched the movie to Warner Bros., he pitched three movies. So there's always been, and he's said this publicly, that there's always been enough story for a trilogy," Guggenheim said. "The scope of the character and the character's world requires that. But we're really just focusing on the treatment for Green Lantern 2.
"And I know that everyone involved in the production of the movie is just focusing on completing the first film," he added.
It sounds like WB is finally ready to take it to Marvel. They saw a weak spot with craptacular looking Thor and Captain America, and now they're ready to plan an all out comic book movie war! Slightly dramatic I know, but I think the films being developed and planned at WB/DC have a lot more potential then anything happening at Marvel right now. Except maybe the Avengers, but I doubt that will do Superman or Batman numbers come 2012.

I've always been a DC fanboy, couldn't give a rat's ass about Marvel. But I really have no idea where this animosity towards Thor is coming from. Everything I've seen of it looks amazing, I think it's going to be the movie to beat next year.
I think Captain America is going to do better than Thor domestically, so yeah, that's not saying much for Thor.
