ALL SCI-FI

Yes, Mark Hamill saying Darth Vader's line was fun - and bringing him back as The Trickster, as seen before in the previous tv Flash series, was nice. I loved his Joker tones in the Batman Animated series, for sure - we may not have actually seen him, but really he's the definitive Mister J! Also from the original tv series we have Tina McGee - the same character, just about, played by the same actress, Amanda Pays.

Hmm, a scarlet costume would be suitably flashy. .. or how about "Maroon Meanderer" instead of Scarlet Speedster? If his earpieces are aerials, having them straight seems a bit low-key on the design front... after all, his symbol is a "flash" of lightning, not just a straight line...

The "Atom" character, Ray Palmer, in the Arrow series has been good. I too was thinking that he was very much channelling the Christopher Reeve Clark Kent, so noticing the actor's name, Brandon Routh, who took over the role for Superman Returns, was quite a moment. Smile

Well, (the current) Barry Allen's father isn't a superhero, though he is a recurring cast member. It's certainly more than Kirk Alyn and Noel Neill having cameo appearances as Lois Lane's father and mother in the 1978 Superman (the) movie...

Well, that scene does get into the extended tv version, apparently - a shame it's "pan and scan" and not particularly high quality, video-wise... Sad

Going back to The Flash, I've finally started on season two - and boy was there a great moment in the second episode, when Barry teams up with the Flash of Earth-2. The classic, definitive cover from the comic that first teamed them up was this:

And so this bit from the tv show just pays homage to it so beautifully it brought a delighted shiver of recognition:

I had to bleach the screen-grab out a bit as the warehouse was a bit dark, but it was certainly a "Wow" moment! Very Happy

(Another article at the Supergirl thread.)

Speaking of cross-overs now that we're having visitors from "Earth - 2" will we see this version of Green Lantern?
