Word is The Flash movie’s still happening, and has picked up director David Dobkin (Clay Pigeons, Shanghai Knights, Wedding Crashers, Fred Claus – yeesh, talk about a varied career).
Dobkin’s film won’t be the character’s first appearance in cinemas, of course, with the Flash a major part of the upcoming “Justice League of America” film. But while fans wait for “JLA” story and casting announcements with bated breath, Dobkin can’t help but hold his – confirming that his movie will exist in the same universe as the upcoming flick as a direct spin-off.

I still hold out hope that JLA will be enough of a disaster that a spinoff will be impossible.
Dobkin also said that his movie would deal with the Wally West incarnation of the Flash, which "would seem to mesh perfectly with recent rumors that “JLA” opens with Barry Allen’s funeral." I’m not sure what that means because I’ve had sex with a woman before. She may or may not have been awake at the time, but either way I’m still too cool for Tonka Trucks and Flash comics and shit… Mom.
