All in color for an eight-dollar ticket
I wish I could say that photos such as this one from the upcoming Fantastic Four film made me feel more optimistic about it.
But they don't.
I am, on the other hand, intrigued by the news that David S. Goyer, most recently the director of Blade: Trinity and writer of the currently-in-post-production Batman Begins, has signed to write, produce, and direct a big-screen version of The Flash for Warner Bros. Even though it appears that Goyer's Flash will be Wally West and not the late, great Barry Allen.
Of course, when the TV series The Flash appeared in the early '90s — one of the true lost classics of the decade, in my opinion — the producers went for an amalgam of the two. The TV Flash received Barry's name and occupation (police scientist — think Gil Grissom, only infinitely faster), but his powers were much more like Wally's were in the comics at the time (limited speed, no transtime or transdimensional abilities, out-of-whack metabolism that kept him eating everything in sight).
Speaking of The Flash, when in the name of Gorilla Grodd are we going to get a box set of that series on DVD?
