I've been lurking around Ex Isle (the Andromeda equivalent of us) lately, and came across some things not posted here.

David Goyer is the writer behind Batman Begins, so I'm officially excited that this will be good. Plus: actual speed physics!

It'd be really cool if John Wesley Shipp (from the 1980s/90s Flash TV series) manages to turn up.

Hmm. While I think it will be pretty refreshing to see them try and incoporate physics effects based on real life, why bother? Aren't these DC properties supposed to be set in the same universe? Do any of them stay true to real life?...

The newer Flash comics are more than just a guy who ran very fast...

Although they have this "Speed Force" power that chooses who it bestowes these powers upon... he is still driven by Real World Physics.

Mass, Energy, Critical Mass, Doppler effects, Relativity, all the Real World Physics apply to Wally. He can speed along and whack someone with the force of a nuke bomb, according to our physics... it was in a 3 story arc called Critical Mass some years ago...

See, we all know that E=mc squared. When Wally (m) speeds along getting close to light speed (c squared) he can hit you with that energy (E) and really mess up your day.

Of course, real physics in comic books and movies are never close to reality. That's why we have these mediums... to do indulge in a 'What If' kind of daydream.

E = mc2 refers to mass-energy equivalence. Quotation from http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/equivME/ :

"In the frame of reference in which a body is at rest, its energy (in this case called the rest-energy) is equal to the product of its rest-mass m and the speed of light squared."
