John Wesley Shipp's series is getting a new transfer from the original film negatives.
The Flash is zooming onto Blu-ray this summer from The Warner Archive . The series, which starred John Wesley Shipp as Barry Allen/ The Flash , spun out of the initial video game movie craze of the late 1980s and early '90s, but it didn't quite take the world by storm, and was cancelled after just one season.
The series also starred Amanda Pays and Alex Désert, with beloved actors like Richard Belzer and Mark Hamill in recurring roles. David Cassidy, whose daughter is Arrow star Katie Cassidy, actually appeared as Mirror Master in the show. Shipp would go on to wrap up the character's arc in The CW's"Elseworlds" and"Crisis on Infinite Earths" events, giving his version of Barry the closure and hero's ending that the cancellation of the original show never offered.
There were three"movies" -- multiple episodes cut to feature length and released on home video -- that came out on VHS and were avaialble to rent from video stores. An extended version of the pilot was released on laserdisc as well. The full series was released on DVD for the first time in 2006. The upcoming Blu-ray features brand-new 1080p HD masters from 4K scans of the original camera negatives.
Who-o-o-o-osh! The origins and exploits of the crimefighting DC Comics superhero come your way in this 22-episode live-action series, from the 1990-91 television season. John Wesley Shipp portrays Barry Allen, a police crime technologist endowed with sudden talents after a fluke lab accident. He pledges to use his new powers for good, powers that include ultra-speed reflexes and the ability to vibrate his molecules so rapidly he can pass through solid walls.
