I got the new DC Signature Collection/Club Infinite Earths Elongated Man the other day and began the process of pics for a review. The main problem was how best to showcase Ralph Dibny: he was a detective who became a superhero, never headlined a solo title and was mostly relegated to backup features and supporting roles, even while a member of the JLA. But because he was good friends with the Flash, it was pretty easy to imagine the two of them going out on adventures like this, and Ralph works as Barry's sidekick here, especially since I don't have any version of Kid Flash to be here (so you'll have to imagine Wally hanging out with the Teen Titans to explain his absence).

This one was a two day process: building the set and then freezing the Flash. I don't know if Captain Cold ever truly froze Barry Allen like this as most of the stories I've read from the Silver Age mostly feature him freezing the ground but Cold was definitely capable of doing so. I wanted to try and emulate a comic book cover as close as possible, so I printed out some backgrounds from Action Figure Theater, did the freezing, then the posing, then shooting to get this result. The only thing I'm not proud of is the freeze effect from Cold's gun...that's the only derpy part of this photo I don't like and probably will do something again later with a different result for it.

I also welcomed a break from Batman photography while I recharge my batteries with the Dark Knight...
