The Flash coming to the WB - sort of tv

Sci-Fi Wire has a story about a live-action Flash TV show, which honestly doesn't sound that interesting at this stage.

According to the article, it seems that the premise for the show (a Gotham City college student who can run so fast that he can move forward or backward in time) is only very loosely based on the DC Comics character, with no regard for the character's history.

I'm all for re-imagining continuity and character histories for the purpose of a better story, but why call the show The Flash if you're not going to draw on the strengths of the character's mythos? This is synergy gone bad for AOL Time Warner - you'd think they'd have learned from last time.

I hate what the WB is doing. They are ruing every good DC comic. What next the Justice League of America with no costumes or Martian Manhunter because they're too "Comic Book"-esque. The first episode of birds of prey was really cool. It showed scenes of a fully costumed Batman, catwoman, batgirl, and the Joker. That was the only good thing that the WB put out. I hope they burn in Hollywood hell for ruining comic books for the public. good day.
