Though the first big-screen outing for The Flash is still scheduled for 2018, the film recently lost its director, Seth Grahame-Smith due to creative differences. This means that there’s a big opening in the DC Extended Universe, which means someone has the chance to be a Big Damn Hero and turn the film into a hit. Maybe Edgar Wright, looking to complete the vision he had for Ant-Man? Or perhaps Kevin Smith, fresh off his gig on the TV incarnation of the character? Heck, we could even get somebody crazy like Sofia Coppola to really give us a vision for the film, leading to today’s visionary query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) wouldn’t mind seeing a John Waters take on superheroes (other than ‘Pink Flamingos’, I mean), asking: Who would you most like to see take over as The Flash’s director?

My lack of knowledge really shows here. Only one I can come up with making a big budget super hero movie I’d like and is available is probably Peter Jackson.
I know he’s dead and did animation, not live-action, but I wish Satoshi Kon could have done a superhero movie. He had a very disorienting, but fantastical sense of story-telling. The sort of psychological switchbacks he had in his stories might have played out interestingly with a Flash time-travel story.
Martin Scorsese, because cops should shoot at the villain, instead of standing there and waiting for him to throw cars at them.
