Serving the fans

    • Fans of comics are also rewarded with new twists on old favourites, such as an aside to the Superman-as-Soviet-superhero comic Red Son (2003), when Batman and the Flashes go to rescue a Kryptonian held in captivity by the Soviets.
    • Standing out among these myriad superheroes – the true star of The Flash, despite its title – is Keaton’s Batman.
