The Flash
Last year, we published an article about canceled games, and The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive was one of them.
In case you don’t remember, the title revolved around the scarlet speedster’s first year of superherodom. It would have involved The Flash fighting crime at the speed of justice (and light if he went fast enough), potentially starred Ryan Reynolds, and most importantly, it would have been overseen by the legendary Marv Wolfman.
In the time since the game was presumably pitched, developed, and subsequently canceled, The Flash has seen an uptick in popularity.
At the time, he was already one of the most memorable characters from the Justice League cartoon. But since then, The Flash starred in a TV series on The CW, and he was the focus of a comic book event that rebooted the DC Universe (again) known as Flashpoint.
The Flash also cameoed in Batman v Superman, received an extended role in the Justice League movie, and he will soon star in an upcoming movie that may or may not be an adaptation of Flashpoint.
The Flash was shafted when his video game was canceled, so if anyone deserves a second shot at a video game, it’s the fastest man alive.
