IIRC, in the Linear Men, on whom the Time Masters from the show are based,have basically thrown up their hands and given up regarding all things Flash related, figuring it's all so convoluted that anything they do would only make things worse.

The new 52 version in Earth 2 isn't bad

Gingers go to move in any crisis was to try to seduce someone so it was doubtless a reference to Saras flirtation with Stein

Shouldnt that be a tall beaker of hard water?

Other other way round. The animat d movie is based on a comic book storyline called "Whats So Funny About Truth, Justice, and th American Way?"

Those extra 5mm really add a lot to Tom Hanks singing the "Banana Name Song" while stuck in a hole in the floor. (that's the only thing I remember about that movie)

If you want to see what Steel could have been, with a more consistent vision and dedicated team behind the concept, check out Milestones "Hardware"

"Cyborg" won't but Vic Stone will, as his young, football player, pre-superpowers self. Thus setting up his appearance in the Justice League movie

The obvious problem being: If your action scenes center on someone wearing a full mask, you have to lean harder on the acting in the alter ego scenes to convey the character. Iron Man had Robert Downey Jr. Steel had Shaq.

Only sort of. It ends on a very sci-fi mind fuck that can be interpreted multiple ways, and many of the characters are kind of left hanging in terms of resolution. As far as the plots line up (and they doesn't line up very well, they've changed and added ALOT for the show) there's quite a bit left to go.

For me, the characters are still ring true as far as motivation and essential characteristics are concerned. It's just that the plot of the show has sent them off into radically different directions. Which is I guess a necessity if you are trying to make a multi season series out of a relatively short novel.

I hate to be "that guy" but having read the novel, Frank isn't supposed to be a particularly likable character. One of the themes is that even extreme personal shittiness pales in comparison to the overwhelming shittiness of institutionalized fascism and racism. However, if he comes across as uninteresting, then yah,…

Earth-10

I'd say yes. The acting is uneven, some great, some not so great. And there are episodes of pure padding. But overall, if you stick through it, it's well worth while as a show with a fascinating premise, some genuine moments of gripping emotion and suspense, and a ton of potential to grow.

"Where's Annie?"
Oh wait…Yay!

Different voices, different cast, it really doesn't matter. Just be funny, and the rest won't matter for shit.

That was exactly what I was thinking at the time.

The "real world" reason, for the few who may be interested, comes down to trademark law. Way back in the beginning of superhero comics, someone came up with the idea of creating female counterparts to popular male characters. DC and Marvel (might actually have still been National at this point) and the other major…

I'm with you. I thought she was pretty good.
