Well, I was a bit disappointed with this one. The whole weather
thing was, umm well, kinda lame. I think they could have found a better
way to have Flash be in an episode. The story isn't really that
important when you look at the whole picture. I was disappointed that
the villain wasn't someone like The Trickster or Grodd. I did, however,
like the fact that Superman and Flash were racing each other 100 times
around the world. The way Flash and Superman talked, and got along was
great! At first, they didn’t get along, but by the end they became
friends.
I noticed a few major problems with the animation. When you see Flash
and Superman on land running, they look like they are going somewhat
fast. However, when you see them on the globe where The Weather Wizard
is tracking them, they look as if they are going 20 times faster!! Also,
there is a part where Superman and Flash are running across the ocean.
Superman sees a ship in trouble and he quits the race w/ Flash to go
help. Superman flies off towards that direction and Flash comes to a
complete stop while on the water!! He doesn't sink; turns and keeps
going! This looks VERY silly.
It was nice to see Flash in the show. Even though it sounds like I
dislike this episode, it is still fun to watch! They all are! It would
have been nice to see who won the race. (But I think you know who won ;)
