 In 2003, it was reported that The WB was planning a "Flash" TV series with Todd Komarnicki signed on to write and executive produce it.Inspired by the 1960s science fiction drama "The Time Tunnel", the series would have been a loose adaptation of the Flash, depicting him as a fresh-out-of-college Gotham City resident who uses his powers to travel backwards and forwards in time, going on missions.As with "Smallville", the series would have eschewed superhero costumes altogether.
