DC COMICS: The Flash 1990 (Child's Play)



Speed Force in the Media

The Flash (1990)

PLOT:
A 1960s drug icon who faked his own death and went into hiding reasserts himself by unleashing a new addictive designer drug on the world.

MONITOR'S NOTES:

 * Barry Allen refers to a journalistic "Arkham exposé". Arkham, of course, refers to Arkham Asylum, the facility later featured in many Batman films. However, this episode aired before Arkham appeared or received mention in any of the Batman TV shows or films, thus the first TV or movie reference to Arkham was in a Flash TV show, not a Batman related adaptation.


 * This is not the first time that Jonathan Brandis and John Wesley Shipp have filmed together.  They also filmed together in Neverending Story II.
