The Flash - Who will win Dr Horrible or a Friday Night Lighter?

It looks as if Dan Mazeau has been contracted to write a screenplay for The Flash and now there is a rumour going round that the fastest man alive has been cast and it is not Ryan Reynolds (his role as Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine may have killed his chances for this one)

ThinkMcFlyThink have more on this.

We've received word from a very-reliable source that actor Scott Porter (formerly of the critically-acclaimed television-series Friday Night Lights) is one of those actors.

If you'll remember back in the Fall of 2007, Porter auditioned for director George Miller for his (now dead) Justice League: Mortal and was said to be a top candidate for Superman.

The word is the studio has been quietly keeping their eye on the actor, and been keen to include him in one of their DC properties since JLM fell through

I've never seen Friday Night Lights so I don't know if this is a good or bad choice. Any of you watch the show? Will he be a good Flash?

However, the not always reliable WENN have the rumour that Neil Patrick Harris (Dr Horrible, How I Met Your Mother) could be the Flash and I could see him as Barry Allen (if that is the Flash they are going with).

Who would work best for you?

Dr Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog

This is as mad as a box of jelly spanners. Joss Whedon's (Buffy, Serenity, Firefly, The Doll's House) latest is a 3 act Web musical following the exploits of ex Dougie Houser, Dr. Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris) a supervillian trying to get into the Evil League, defeat his nemesis, the corporate tool, Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion) and win the heart of his love, Penny (Felicia Day). Rather funny, great production values and even the songs are pretty good.
