"In the moment suspended between the eternity of now and the next second, I knew this was the Flash and this must be Keystone City"

Norman McKay - "Kingdom Come" the novel

Personal Insights: A great piece, very similar to the limited edition that Warner Brothers put out. I got this piece from a phone release at Warner Brothers, I really like the fact that there are waves in the background.

General Information: An Original Production Cel from "Superman: The Animated Series". Classic animation is the art of bringing to life single drawings to create the illusion of character drama and movement. The original animator's drawing is transferred onto an acetate cel (either by hand - inking or photocopying). The cel is then flipped over and individually hand-painted on the reverse side. Thousands of animation cels are required to create just a few minutes of film. Each work of art in unique.

Series Information: As a follow-up to their hugely successful Batman: The Animated Series, the creative team of Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, and Alan Burnett have transformed the mightiest super-hero of all time into another citizen of their own art-deco D.C. Comics universe. Premiering on television in September, 1996, Superman exists in a world of the future a glittering, gleaming sci-fi Metropolis. But beneath the shiny surface of this seeming utopia is it's sinister, controlling figurehead, Lex Luthor, whose domination is threatened by the sudden appearance of the morally just and apparently invincible Kryptonian, Superman.

Episode Information: From the episode "Speed Demons ". The Flash and Superman are having a charity race, to find out who is the fastest. I don't remember what the race was, a couple of times around the world. They encounter Mark Mardon, aka "The Weather Wizard," who holds Metropolis hostage with the threat of unleashing a killer hurricane. We never do find out who wins the race, but in the comic books, The Flash beat Superman by one second.
