Batman directors want Ryan Reynolds to play Flash

Batman Begins director Chris Nolan and writer David Goyer talked about the planned sequel to Batman Begins and the Flash movie recently. Nolan warned Goyer not to say anything about Batman 2 but did say the movie is in the works and that they've come up with a great story for the sequel. Nolan was asked if he had heard about Josh Lucas' interest in the role of Batman but the director says he's been busy working on The Prestige and hasn't thought about casting yet. Christian Bale has also said he's interested in returning as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Goyer says he's turned in the script for the Flash film to the producers and the studio should have it by month's end. He prefers Ryan Reynolds for the lead. [CBM]
