Sports Illustrated’s website is currently hosting a “Tale of the Tape” comparison betwixt the Olympic’s insanely fast runner, Usain Bolt (the commentator’s description was that he was running at video game speeds) and DC’s Flash. It’s actually a pretty fun, well put together little feature.
The only comparison I see missing is the fact that Wally West, the Flash pictured, started his career in the Flash costume as a self-absorbed jerk and eventually grew up, and Bolt’s been observed as a bit of a self-absorbed ass at the Olympics, but everyone hopes he’ll soon grow up. Either way, DC should definitely get their PR team in gear to produce some sort of Flash/Bolt variant cover for a charity or something. This sort of potential publicity writes itself!
now that, would be a race
