Even if you slowed him down to the point where you'd see a red blur, the effect they'd use would probably be something like the one they use on Smallville whenever Clark runs, which I've never been very fond of.

Maybe this is another case of material that can only be done properly in the medium that it was created in and DC should focus on putting together a decent Green Lantern script. Now there's a property that does have great cinematic potential. But please, not as some kind of 3rd rate Mask comedy rip-off.

...now the Green Lantern...there's something if done properly could become a true franchise ...definitely agree with that

The suits are likely thinking, "If Singer couldn't save Superman (#1 superhero ever and #1 ALLEGED superhero director ever), then who else can make a decent movie with any other hero?" Indeed.

The problem with that train of thought is that it was all of Singer's meddling that finally caught up with him, not that superhero movies are past their prime. Take Raimi's Spider-Man, for example. There is a good case of director meddling that didn't sink the property.

I hope that Ghost Rider will surprise folks and do alright. I doubt it will do huge numbers, but it may be turn enough profit to give the haters lesser things to gripe about, similar to FF, Hulk, and DD. And if GR does okay, WB may be a little disappointed with themselves for letting Goyer go. After all, this was the guy that brought us BB to an extent, which most fans ultimately agree that it treated the source material with respect. Then there's the whole Blade franchise. Love it or hate it, Blade was a 3-picture franchise and TV series. Quite rare. And all thanks in large part to Goyer.

Blade 2, even better

Blade: Trinity, utter bollocks. He can,however, write some good shit when he wants to!

Well as long as FF2 and Ghost Rider aren't massive bombs.

And why try to get 1 man to write every superhero film. Surely different writers with different angles for different characters makes more sense

Something that goes overlooked by many -- Unlike most heroes, here you also have at least four major variants to run with instead of only one. Don't like Barry Allen? Then pick Wally West or another Flash. Few superheroes have such an option, such as Green Lantern.

The Flash is a character with a rich and diverse history that has been around since the 40's. He's found his way into all forms of media since. Someone's gotta at least recognize him if not like him. YOU may not like the character, but your own interests likely diverge from the mass appeal. And that's a healthy thing.
