Johns to produce 'Flash' movie
Geoff Johns has been unveiled as writer and producer for the upcoming movie based on DC superhero the Flash.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros has recruited the current Green Lantern scribe to work alongside writer Dan Mazeau, as well as Grant Morrison and Marv Wolfman, who have been hired as consultants.

The cinematic adaptation is expected to detail the origin story of the hero, following teenager Wally West as he is gifted superhuman speed after being struck by a bolt of lightening.

David Dobkin is attached to direct the film, with Warners targeting a 2011 release.

Several other DC IPs are expected to follow the Flash onto the big screen, with Green Lantern currently in pre-production and Aquaman, Green Arrow and Bizzaro Superman all in planning stages.
