With the live-action Justice League film on hold, it may be some time before we see The Flash, the fastest man alive, brought to the silver screen.
So in the meantime, satisfy yourself with the 1989 marvel that is The Wizard of Speed and Time:
Okay, so maybe it's not as good as the 22-episode live-action Flash TV series that premiered on CBS just a year after the above Wizard made his debut. Unfortunately, I was not a comic book junkie until 1996, so what Wikipedia calls a short-lived but critically-acclaimed series never registered on my radar. But now the complete collection is available in one convenient DVD box set. Anyone have any recommendations about it?
Yes, the short-lived Flash television series is worth watching. It's closer in tone and production value to Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman of the 1990s than to the campy 1960s Batman and 1970s Superfriends, let alone the never-aired Justice League pilot or The Wizard of Speed and Time.
The delay in the live-action Justice League movie might be for the best, giving writers, actors, and crew more time to get a difficult team superhero adaptation right.
