With the announcement earlier this week that the script for The Flash will be done by Christmas, it was only natural for casting rumors to start flying. Almost immediately came the name "Bradley Cooper," who, in addition to being a headline-worthy, tried out for the part of the Green Lantern before Ryan Reynolds booked the gig. But while it may sounds like a solid choice, it's looking like bupkis. Superhero Hype spoke with Cooper recently and brought up the subject of the DC hero. His response? "I've never heard anything about it ever in my life."

Hopefully the story merely jumped the gun and Cooper will get a phone call from Warner Bros. in a few weeks. Cooper has considerable talent and experience in both comedy and drama, meaning that he would be a pretty solid choice. Considering he went out for the part of Green Lantern, the man obviously must have some desire to play a superhero and The Flash could be perfect him. Here's hoping that this news changes.
