It's a shame, too. The Flash, we'd imagine, would be a tough license to nail and we're curious how BottleRocket would have handled it.

A Flash game would be pretty cool, as long as they weren't taking inspiration from the recent Sonic games.

Superpets FTW!
No, actually I meant the speed, and how it correlates to the controls.

Kinda looks like it was made in flash.

For a minute I was thinking "those graphics are awesome for a flash game!"

It would be nice if we wouldn't have to stare at his ass all the time

You don't have to. You also don't have to tell us that you are.

Maybe a better title would be "The flash" game, i really thought it was a flash game.

Looks like GTA. the reason why i think this is bad is because in GTA you aren't a good guy and you resolve most things through a "bad guy" approach. Even when you just screw around, you are being a menace to society. Chasing down the bad people and subduing them or saving civilians would probably get old quick. Prototype and Infamous pretty much have a leg up on this concept anyway.

Is it just me or does this look almost exactly like Superman Returns for the 360, the game that just about everyone whores...

Actually, to me, it looks a LOT like DCUO...

The thing that generally keeps me from enjoying DC is how insanely overpowered their heroes tend to be. I mean, how can you make a believable (for a comic book) enemy for the Flash when he's so fucking fast he can run through walls by slipping through the spaces in molecules? And how would you translate that to a videogame?
The best super speed character based story I've ever read was in The Ultimates. They made Quicksilver a cool character, which is a feat in and of itself.
/NNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRDS!!!!

Yeah, like Wolverine, who is immune to Death. Or Dr Strange, who can pretty much Duex Ex his way out of anything, and has enough raw power to go toe to toe will anything short of a cosmic entity. Or The myriad characters that simply alter reality at will, like Scarlet Witch or Franklin Richards.
Or how about the 237 Superman clones; with the exact same powers, and occasionally bothering to have a weakness (most don't, except that weakness being wolverine). Or Hulk, who has unlimited strength and is invincible.
The difference is that DC's big 7 are more powerful than Marvel's. Of course, swap out the big 7 Avengers for the Defenders big 4, and the JLA are in trouble. Silver Surfer de-evolves the entire DCU into goo, which is then chucked by the Hulk into a portal to the Dark Dimension opened by Strange. And Namor just stands around looking cool and smoking some crack.
