Doctor Mid-Nite and Captain Midnight

 

I have been meaning to put these two guys together for a while now, and have finally got to it.  Captain Midnight was a Fawcett Comics character, but I don't remember him making any any appearances in DC titles.  I guess he wasn't part of the deal when they acquired Captain Marvel, Bulletman, Spy Smasher and the rest?

The Flash and Captain Midnight

The Flash has exceeded my expectations thus far.  The special effects are impressive for a TV show and showcase the Scarlet Speedster's abilities nicely.  I also like that the series seems to be working as a springboard for other DCU characters to appear.  Grant Gustin does very well in the lead role, which he imbues with a sense of earnestness and optimism that really evokes the character from the comics.  I'm really looking forward to the crossover event with Arrow, and then further on down the road... Grodd!
