It's kind of hard to showcase superspeed without it becoming derivative of Matrix effects though. It's still in play to this day because no one can figure out how to convey it any different.
I agree. I think that's okay for a TV show, where the emphasis is on story and character development, and abilities, whether they be the ability to get DNA tests back in an hour, or fly, are all just plot devices. The attraction isn't in the spectacle. The fact that it is derivative, and well used, is what makes it possible to do on a TV show, and suited for it.
And it still *can* be explored, if you take a more Heroes/Click stop time effect to manipulate the environment, then you have a super speed character getting creative rather than just looking cool hitting people.
It's not the speed force itself that people might not get, it's all it's implications. It's more about movement than speed, we live on a planet he can stop moving, we exist in bodies he can turn to a useless carbon hunk. There is a lot to it more than just moving fast. Heck, when I saw that issue with Savitar charging up his army of ninjas with the speed force was insane! He has the power to just give other people powers!
Listen guys, everything benefit from being made as TV series, story-wise. Not only The Flash, but Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, Harry Potter, LOTR, James Bond, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Star Trek etc. The list is endless.
But I don't buy people saying The Flash's powers will be better off in a TV production. I don't even know the logic in their thought, regarding that.
I still vote for Devon Sawa and Jozeph Mazzello. Maybe I should add a third actor to my wish list / short list, and that is David Gallagher.How about Ryan Kwanten as Barry Allen / The Flash?
Flash's powers working well on TV doesn't mean they work better in a TV series than on film.
With a film, the special effects will always be more amazing in comparison. Higher budget, bigger team etc. Especially since something like Flash is blockbuster material.
If people complain about how simple his powers are, it's not something that talks against a big superhero film about him. More like the oposite. To show the range of his powers and how breath-taking they can look, he needs to be done the big way.

Yes, in fact I do. Just like some people on the board are close friends with Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling. We are here in disguise as "normal" posters just to help our mates to get high-profiled roles.really? do you hang out in a gang with these guys?
I think Daniel Gillies would make a damn good Barry Allen.
