The directors will literary fight each other, haha.Looking back on it now, The Wachowskis might clash with Burton given that they both have very unique and different styles..
While I wouldn't pick Burton as a Flash director, with this one, and several upcoming ones, I had Burton basically directing all the JL member films including Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Superman.
With this one, I was trying to envision what a Burton Flash film would look like, and how he might approach it , hence, alot of the wilder designs including the spooky black train.
So, I was thinking about Burtons first two Batman films which had that art deco 40s look, while at the same time, I was thinking in terms of a much more futuristic Central city than it's Gotham City counterpart, so it looks more like an art deco, steampunk type of vibe.
I agree with you that there seems to be a superhero suit aesthetic that's leaning into the Ironman designs. The designs I picked came from the Injustice Gods Among Us game, I think.
Actually , come to thing of it, had this really been in the late 90s , the flash suit would probably look more like a updated version of the Shipp suit from the series than the designs here which are very 21st century in terms of its aesthetic .
As far as the cast goes, I tried to go with alot of actors that Burton has worked with in the past, since that tends to be how he's casted alot of his films.
Like Nolan, he tends to return to alot of the same actors who've worked on his prior films.
I got several of them in supporting roles in this cast.
Depp seemed like he would have been Burton's 1 one choice to play Barry Allen, and I think Carter fits Burton's Killer Frost to a T.
While I don't know if Burton would go with Pitt as RF, it would be fascinating to see Depp and Pitt play off of each other as rivals.
I don't think they ever did a film together, but it looks like there are a few pictures of them together.
Wachowskis were much more techno-thriller futuristic in Matrix. It was out the same year.
But if the Flash film had been closer to their Speed Racer, then I see the siblings capable of doing it
Going with Burton for every JL hero is one way to go. Will be fun to read it later.
I really think a Burton Flash would look like the John Wesley Shipp version, if they're going to have it similar to Keaton's films.
Put the two dressed up heroes next to each other and you will see how well they work in union
Is the huge black vehicle a train???????
A thought the only train in your pics was the copper colored one.
Burton's Batman is considered gothic. It's also an art deco element there somewhere, but more moody and dark.
Do you think Central City will be similar to Burtonverse Gotham but with added steampunk? That's a suggestion to think about
They can't drag the steampunk too far, I'll guess. It risk coming off as a Jules Verne adventure.
As you say yourself, make it more futuristic
But do you mean dark futurism, close to a dystopia? Like Blade Runner (but taking place in our time)?
I don't get why Flash's suit is designed more armor-like in that game, and in Snyderverse.
They add a lot of metal plates, layer after layer, on top of a hero who's meant to be FAST. Is it supposed to look cool or something?
I see that you mention a look that's closer to Shipp, which I've already brought up
It's good to re-use actors
To be honest, maybe Pitt is a better candidate for Barry Allen than Depp?
Somehow, with Bonham Carter, I have a feeling that Killer Frost won't be too different from Bellatrix Lestrange, lol
Nice to see the old photos.
The second one, with three acting giants, represents the 90s so well
