It looks like we’ll get another glimpse of the Golden-Age Flash on Smallville. Jay Garrick himself isn’t appearing in Absolute Justice, but we have seen a painting of the entire Justice Society, and now KryptonSite has spotted Jay Garrick’s helmet in the previews:
Since it’s black and white, I assume it’s a flashback sequence. Probably to the disbanding of the Justice Society, with the Flash having left his helmet behind to send the message that they’re retiring.
Something I find interesting is that the stylized feathers on the wings appear to be separate pieces with gaps in between them, rather than being sculpted into a solid wing. I’ve seen variations ranging from realistic wings to parallel ribbons like this, but I think this is the first one I’ve seen with clear gaps.
Visit KryptonSite for more preview images of the Justice Society’s appearance. The 2-hour episode airs February 5, 2010.
Thanks to Dave of JSA Round Table for the tip!
I like that helmet. There is something about it that just looks fast.
I figured it out – the actor looks like he’s holding a model of the NX-01.
Yes it looks so cool! maybe they could have “Jay Garrick” make a special guest appearance in a future smallville episode.
