After saying he's not doing Nightstalkers, the hyped Blade Trinity spin off, Ryan Reynolds hasn't given up on the Superhero role. He's talked about the distinct possibility of playing The Flash before, and he's not giving up. Moviehole have the quote from Zap2it:

"The Flash is something David Goyer is writing now and we're hoping Warner Brothers will greenlight it," he told the site. "The story he has for it is unbelievable. I mean you know it's such a mind-boggling story, so I'm really excited about it. There's so much I didn't realize about the laws of physics and relativity that you can get into with the Flash. And you know the fact that he's basically doing things like arriving before he's left. I mean this stuff to me is really interesting to capture on film."

"If it all goes well, I'll be playing it. I have a penchant for wearing red unitards to various parties around town so I'm in," he quipped. "There's nothing contractual about it," he continued. "David Goyer and I have always said we would like to do it together and Warner Brothers seems to approve of that."

It'll be really interesting to see this translated to the big screen. Can a character who arrives before he's left be followed on screen?
