The Flash – The Flash #1 by Francis Manapul

Whether The Flash is still being lined up for a movie remains to be seen, especially now that Warner Bros. and the CW are forging ahead with a television series starring 90210’s Grant Gustin. However, before the Batman/Superman announcement was made at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, several reliable sites claimed that the Scarlet Speedster would be getting his own big screen outing in 2016.

If that is indeed the case, then a comic book cover such as this one – which was used to relaunch the character in DC’s “The New 52” reboot – is visually stunning enough to grab  anyone’s attention and to get them to realise that this a superhero they should be taking notice of.
