Bradley Cooper as The Flash?

Briefly, because the idea of it makes my stomach all queasy...

Awhile back Bradley Cooper lost out on his bid to play Green Lantern to Ryan Reynolds. Why? I dunno. Maybe they had an ab showdown and Reynolds beat him handily. But according to Moviehole, Warner Brothers really wants Cooper to be "a part of the family" and are keen to have The Hangover star done the red lightning outfit of The Flash.

Moviehole doesn't site any sources, so this could all just be speculation.

I can think of few things I dislike more than the idea of Bradly Cooper soiling the outfit of The Flash and the great Barry Allen. There are few DC characters I actually like, but The Flash is one of them. Would it be possible to get an actor I actually want to see? Somebody younger, maybe? Less...smirky? I dunno.
