WB’s The Flash: No Costume, But Time Travel?
WB Speeds With Flash
The WB has ordered a pilot for a TV series based on the DC Comics series The Flash, Variety reported. Todd Komarnicki (Resistance) is writing the pilot and will executive produce the project via Warner Brothers Television and his Guy Walks Into a Bar company, the trade paper reported. The WB has attached a hefty penalty to the project if it’s not picked up to series.
The Flash, which centers on a man with superhuman speed, is the Frog network’s latest attempt to reimagine a comic or literary classic for prime time, following its Superman-inspired Smallville and this season’s upcoming Tarzan, the trade paper reported.
As with Smallville, the new Flash will have a “no tights, no flights” philosophy, which means the character won’t be clad in his classic red suit, the trade paper reported. The new show will also reportedly incorporate a time-travel element: The hero will be a fresh-out-of-college Gothamite who discovers he has the ability to move so fast, he can travel backward or forward in time.
