The Flash (2005).
Directed by David S. Goyer.

Forensic scientist Barry Allen is struck by lightning and doused in chemical products that give him superspeed, which he uses to protect Keystone City as the Flash. Barry and his friend, Detective Hunter Zolomon, are lured into as trap by mad scientist Victor Vesp, who has build a machine to steal Barry's speed. To prevent the machine from leveling the city, Barry sacrifices himself by achieving lightspeed and vanishing. His wife, investigative reporter Iris West, exposes his identity to the public, and his nephew, Wally West, fears he'll never live up to Barry's legacy.

One year later, Wally is struck by lightning and given Barry's powers. Dr. Jerry McGuee from S.T.A.R. Labs theorizes that this is due to Barry's connection to the Speed Force, and Wally develops a relationship with Jerry's ex-wife Dr. Tina McGuee, who teaches him to control his powers. A wheelchair-bound Zolomon volunteers to mentor Wally to replace Barry as the Flash, but Wally is reluctant.

Upon learning of Wally's power, Vesp plants a bomb at an airplane and, while Wally is distracted evacuating it, Vesp is sprung from jail by another speedster, Zoom, who is addicted to the speed Vesp artificially infused him with. Zoom later kills Jerry, kidnaps Tina and lures Wally into a trap at Vesp's lair, revealing himself to be Zolomon, embittered Barry chose Wally as his successor. Vesp attempts to harness Wally's speed, but Wally reaches lightspeed as well and ends up in the Speed Force, where he reunites with Barry, who gives Wally what's left of his speed. Wally returns and Zolomon spirals out of control, killing Vesp and attempting to steal Wally's speed for himself, though he is unable to process it and crumbles into dust. Wally then reunites with Tina and Iris and officially adopts the mantle of the Flash, vowing to honor Barry's sacrifice and find a way to rescue him from the Speed Force.

Batman creates spy-satellite Brother Eye to monitor Earth's superheroes, and elaborates detailed counter-measures to disable them if they go rogue. When his plans are stolen by corrupt businessman Maxwell Lord, with assistance from Batman's scorned lover Talia Al Ghul, Batman races against time to warn Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and J'onn J'onzz, who become targets of nanotechnology-based attacks that force them to join forces in order to survive. Upon learning from the Flash's nephew Wally West, a skilled hacker and fellow speedster, that Lord was once a test subject of the OMAC Project, a secret government program to create human weapons, which afforded him massive telephatic powers, the heroes confront him, only to come face-to-face with the OMACs, humans infected with a nanotechnological virus that turns them into robots with adaptative abilities. Lord murders Talia when she opposes to his methods, which, in addition to Lord's plans to infect the entire human race with the OMAC Virus to turn them into a shared consciousness controlled by him, drives Batman to kill him, but his mind merges with Brother Eye and leads the OMAC fleet for New York City, resulting in a devastating battle in which the Flash sacrifices himself to destroy the virus and defeat Lord.

DOES. NOT. COMPUTE.

Are these the actual plot synopses/treatments for these unproduced films?

Sounds similar to what we got, but I imagine it would have been less gaudy.

I can't believe that was Sam Raimi's idea for Spider-Man 4. As flawed as No. 3 was, 4 would have been infinitely worse.

I was with it until the Black Cat built some Vulturess armor.

This doesn't sound too bad, really.

I could almost see it.
