In the latest "Fat Man on Batman" podcast, filmmaker Kevin Smith has promised that his directorial debut on The Flash will be something special, and indicates he'll probably be back for another round.
"It is wonderful, dude," Smith told his co-host, Marc Bernardin. "First cut was 55-minutes, of my episode of The Flash that I directed. We got it down to the running time, it's 42-minutes. It may be my favorite thing I've ever directed. Now that doesn't mean like I suddenly don't like the movies that I directed. I wrote and directed those things. But this, just as a directing exercise — removing scripts and sh*t like that and about how I personally feel about material, whether or not it generated from me — I think this is hands down my best directing job I've ever done. Just directing. I feel good, and I've gotten some nice praise from upstairs. Sounds like I will be able to go back, unless they catch me with a dead girl or a live boy. I think I will be able to go back."
Not much is known about Smith's episode, other than that it will feature Zoom, will be written by Zack Stentz (Thor, X-Men First Class) and longtime collaborator Jason Mewes is also expected to appear in the episode as a metahuman.
