The Flash — Again!

[Gene Steinberg]

A 1990 attempt to present The Flash, a DC comics character, faded after one season.

So the producers of "Arrow" are giving it another try:

The kid actually does a good job with this role, though he's younger than the traditional image of The Flash. The fellow from the 1990 series, John Wesley Shipp, will make a guest appearance as something-or-other.

Oh, and in case you don't recognize the distinctive musical style, the theme for the 1990 Flash series was composed by none other than Danny Elfman. Too bad he wasn't recruited for the current series, or Arrow.

I always wondered if this illustration didn't break some law of physics. I would think that if the flash could match or exceed the speed of a bullet while going in the same direction than this scene could be possible but moving in a direction perpendicular to the path of the bullet would seem to me to yield the same results as if he was standing still...one mangled hand

And I still think he should have lost his hat/helmet more often

Well, the uniforms for the TV show seem to be integrated, so he can't lose the hat.
