Flash Soundtrack Available Today

Leave a reply

La La Land Records will release a 2-CD soundtrack from the 1990 Flash TV series at 3PM EST (noon PST) today. The show’s music was composed by Shirley Walker (who, in addition to her extensive film career, also did music for the 1990s Batman and Superman animated series).

Until now, the only music available from the show was the title theme composed by Danny Elfman, on Music for a Darkened Theatre, Vol. 2

The 2-disc set is a limited run of 3,000 and features music from the following episodes:

  • Pilot
  • Captain Cold
  • The Trickster
  • Watching the Detectives
  • Ghost in the Machine
  • Done with Mirrors
  • Fast Forward
  • Trial of the Trickster

You can read more, including a full track list, in this thread at Film Score Monthly.

Update: The album page is up with a full track list and free sample tracks (and the cover art, which I’ve copied here). Crimson Lightning talks about how the music enhanced the show.

(Thanks to Jeff Murphy for the info!)

Site Updates: Wally West, Captain Boomerang, New Contributor

Some updates to Speed Force and Flash: Those Who Ride the Lightning:

Profiles

Wally West‘s entry now features his new costume. I’d been hoping to find a more complete image, but the debut splash page remains the most detailed view of the costume I’ve seen, even if he is missing an arm and a foot.

I’ve also updated the images of Barry Allen and Wally West on the main page and indexes. Next up: finding an appropriate image of Barry to update his profile.

Captain Boomerang, Sr. gets an update on his Bronze Age family status as I try to work my way through old emails (in this case from Omar Karindu, reminding me of a story in which we meet “Digger” Harkness’ father). I took the opportunity to do some minor rewrites as well.

The Rag Doll is mostly focused on the original Golden Age villain, but I’ve updated the profile with some new information on the next generation of Merkels from Secret Six (again, catching up on old email).

Growing Team

Finally, I’d like to welcome another new contributor to Speed Force: Devin “The Flash” Johnson, who will fill the gap in the site’s collectibles coverage!

More Speedster HeroClix: Inertia and Kid Zoom!

7 Replies

Wow, this is just the week for DC speedsters over at WizKids, isn’t it? Today they unveiled two new figures from the Brave and the Bold expansion set: Kid Zoom and Inertia.

Yes, two different identities of Bart Allen’s dark twin, Thaddeus Thawne. And because Thad took on the Kid Zoom identity after training under Hunter Zolomon, the two figures actually have different powers. Head over to the article for more photos, plus the cards and dials.

Blue Lantern Flash HeroClix

HeroClix is working on a Blackest Night starter set featuring the heroes and villains deputized in Blackest Night #6, and has been releasing photos and descriptions over at the WizKids Games blog. Today’s entry isn’t up yet…but ICv2 has the Blue Lantern Barry Allen figure.

I think this is the clearest depiction I’ve seen of Barry Allen’s Blue Lantern costume. The BN:Flash #3 cover comes close, but parts of the design are still obscured by lightning.
