Warner Bros has attempted to develop DC comic movies for a number of years.

In 2011 the studio released the "Green Lantern" which was also met with terrible reviews and a horrible box office. Other critical and box office comic flops Warner Bros has witnessed include "Watchmen," "Catwoman," and "Jonah Hex."
The Flash is one of the most popular DC comic book characters. The character was created by Gardner Fox and artist Harry Lampert in 1940. The character, named Barry Allen, is associated with Justice League and is also known for his power with the lightning bolt.
It is unknown yet when Warner Bros will make the official announcement but if the film is really happening more news will definitely come in the next months.
