Warner Brothers still pulled out all the stops for this show, but, unfortunately, they did it by attempting to precisely imitate the look and feel of Batman, all the way down to a Danny Elfman-composed theme song.

There`s a sophistication at play in this show. The acting is refreshingly unmannered. The supporting cast is solid, and the sets, costumes and soundtrack all work to create a distinctive TV world.

The Flash parts of this show are fun... But so far, the villains are dumb, run-of-the-mill punks and hoods instead of colorful old Flash foes like Captain Cold and Gorilla Grodd.

Despite the origins, the situations and dialogue are less infantile than a lot of shows that aren't based on comic strips, and the hero is given enough complexity that adults can conceivably be as engaged in his shenanigans as kids.

If only CBS had realized the kind of talent they had at their disposal, the Flash might well have kept running for a few more seasons.
