Backstage at THE FLASH!

In honor of the new Flash movie (I liked it quite a bit), here's some coverage of CBS's The Flash 1990 series, from Amazing Heroes #189, dated March 1991.








If you haven't seen the 1990 series, you are missing out on a primo slice of superhero TV.  Yes, from today's vantage point parts seem cheesy.  But it is stylish and well done.  Danny Elfman's theme and Shirley Walker's series music are thunderous and a lot of sashaying, neckbreaking fun.

And you DO know that Mark Hamill couldn't have voiced the Joker in Batman: the Animated Series without using his Trickster persona?  It's classic!

PS I was disappointed to learn that the John Wesley Shipp cameo I thought I saw in the Flash film was actually supposed to be a CGI of somebody else.  BAH!

See you on Monday!
