Apparently, when Bilson and DeMeo were doing television, lo these many years ago (back in the “run Master Control for the Learning Channel while watching ‘Star Trek: TNG’ on the other monitor,” do the Friday night sign-off shift at KFHS College Radio, try-to-guess-which-random-trivia–questions-right-out-of-the-book-will-comprise-Nancy’s-next-exam days of the early 90’s), they worked up a pilot featuring a time-lost Flash, the daughter of Green Arrow, a new version of Doctor Occult, and a bio-engineered rock man drawn from my old pal, Blok. This pilot was meant to be put together as television’s version of “Watchmen,” but it never flew. They later refocused elements of this plot, took the strongest character and created “The Flash,” which ran for one season on ABC back inna day. (Elements of this distopian future/time travel story seem to have inspired the episode “Fast Forward,” at least to my mind). Much like the actual Flash series, I suspect a bit of “Bat-envy,” as well, with lots of overtones of the then-new Tim Burton ‘Batman’ movie.

It’s an interesting look at a project that never happened, coulda been good, could been bad. But in any case, I’d wager the Goyer project is a similar “Want to do it” kinda thing. But I’ve been wrong before. I like to think it’d look something like this?

I’m more p***ed off that they gave “Flash” to a C-level comedy director who will probably make a wacky story about a lovable but clumsy dweeb who gets hit by lightning and chemicals and becomes super-fast…someone get Ashton Kutcher on the phone! Blech.
