1990 The Flash - The Trickster
Nov. 24th, 2016 05:13 pmI have finally got as far as the one episode of the Flash that somehow had to happen without the Flash in new canon. The Trickster. And I think I like it, on its own and as lightly edited backstory, even though they could not have made him more Joker Lite if they tried.
It has basically the same plot as Batman, the 1989 one.
Clown Prince of crime gets crush on vigilante superhero's girlfriend, parallel to the whole 'I made you? You made me first!' argument. With the resolution that it's no more the costumed vigilante's fault that costumed supervillains get nemesis-crushes on him than it is the lady's fault she gets a creepy stalker.
Trickster is super dark though. ( Read more... )
This episode has layers and parallels and stuff snout identity and I kind of want to dig into it more. Which is pretty new for this version of the Flash. A+ episode, considering.
Most eyewateringly awful appropriate to the character costumes ever though.
