I admit this freely: when I saw this season two episode when I was a kid, a wept a little bit. Get off me, I was like 12 and couldn't have been a bigger DC Comics fan. First of all, seeing the Flash in an animated TV show at all was pretty radical to me, but having the famous charity race between he and Superman reenacted to boot truly astonished me.

This is a combination of actual show creation and a sort of improv game. It’s a take on how a show is created-all the elements you must consider, such as what age group it’s for, why the idea of it being about this or that would be too expensive, or why it can’t take place on water if it’s CGI.

10:00-11:30 a.m. Inside the Writers’ Room: From Script to Screen and Beyond – If writers’ rooms were like superhero teams, then this lineup would be the Justice League and The Avengers, here to offer an all-star insider’s look at your favorite TV series.
