UltraAlt Posted August 4, 2023 Posted August 4, 2023 I have to say that I loved the Flash 1990s TV show, but I had already been a Flash fan for a long time at that point. I stumbled on to this :: I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but Secret Galaxy tends to do some good research on stuff they cover. If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

Techwright Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 The Flash was my favorite Super Friends character when I was growing up, despite only being a guest star a couple of times. Naturally, I was over the moon when the 1990s series was announced and crushed when it was canceled. I thought it was a fine production with a good cast and great effects for its day and age. My only problem, confusion really, was how they were making Iris West into a self-centered New Age jerk, and clearly shaping Tina up to be the love interest. I'll watch the video. 1990 still had one foot in the campy world of comics that dated back to the 1966 Batman. So some of the episodes might seem a little over-the-top by today's standards. I've wondered if the changing attitudes towards camp were affecting the show, but then that doesn't explain how Warner Brothers managed to crank out three wretchedly campy sequels throughout the 1990s to 1989's Batman.
Panache Posted August 8, 2023 Posted August 8, 2023 I clicked on that YouTube account's profile to see what else they had and was immediately sidetracked by Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. I had fully forgotten about Jayce and the crew. 1
ThaOGDreamWeaver Posted August 13, 2023 Posted August 13, 2023 I still haven't seen the actual series, but if nothing else, it debuted... ...that laugh. 1 WAKE UP YA MISCREANTS AND... HEY, GET YOUR OWN DAMN SIGNATURE. Look out for me being generally cool, stylish and funny (delete as applicable) on Excelsior.

Joker before Joker. The episode premiered February 1991, and the animated Joker that Mark Hamil has become legendary for premiered November 1992. My guess is he did the vocal work around the same time as the live acting. I strongly suspect one role caught someone's eye, or ear as the case may be, and created the other, but I've not heard the backstory. I did hear, a long time ago, that the producers of The Flash wanted the Joker, but were not allowed to have the character, therefore created the Trickster, so I strongly suspect they heard his Joker recording and tried to recruit him for the Joker. It works out fine in the end. He got to portray the Trickster again in the new The Flash series, and all performances were scene-chewing, over-the-top fun. EDIT: forgot to add that Mark was even given the chance to voice act the Trickster in Justice League: Unlimited, again with a scene-stealing moment despite being a cameo.

I honestly don't remember him prior to the 1990 show, but I didn't get to read many comic books of the Flash. Thanks for the correction. Clearly the information given me was off. 1
