How come the comic hero "The Flash" hasn't gotten a movie yet?

Seems like Hollywood would've had this one out there by now.

Just curious.

He will be in the Justice League movie with his own solo movie after that.

yeah, he is the biggest super hero I can think of without a movie.

I was a huge flash fan growing up.

He did a tv show in the 80s, which was pretty terrible.

Supposedly one is in the work.

Because the only popular super hero more lame than the Flash is Aquaman.

The problem with Flash has always been that if written correctly, there's almost no way to create a villain that could even make the Flash break a sweat. His super speed is SO fast that it's as if we're all standing still. Truly, his speed is the ultimate super power. He can run SO fast, he is untouchable. Superman may be the only guy that could even come close to laying a hand on him.

Comic books couldn't really portray how powerful super speed can be. But a movie, with the CGI tech we have now, could. It would take a hell of a writer to do it justice though.

This is about the best I've ever seen of what the Flash is capable of.
