DAN’S MOVIE DIGEST 140

Goyer: “Fans know there’s been more than one Flash over the years. There’sbeen a lot of speculation and rumour, but both Barry Allen and Wally Westwill be in this movie.”

“We’re going to go into the ‘Speed Force’ and a lot of the cosmic aspects ofthe character from the more recent past. Trust me, we’re going to do a lotmore than have the Flash run on water and create vortexes. I have a guy fromM.I.T. helping me with all of this. We’re going to be playing withrelativity, Doppler effects and all kinds of things like that. Audienceswill be amazed.”
