Kevin Smith Will Return to Direct and Episode of 'The Flash'

Actor/Director/Writer and super nerd Kevin Smith will return to direct an episode of 'The Flash' during season 3, reports Screen Rant (via Den of Geek).

Per Smith:

"I know I’m going back to The Flash, first week of September, to direct episode 7 of season 3."

Smith has directed an episode in the past, with the season 2 episode, titled "The Runaway Dinosaur".

Smith has also expressed interest in directing other shows in the DC TV universe:

“I’ve figured out a way to do it that is kinda bad-ass and also connects to comics more or less. So instead of just doing the actual sound – which to me, in the real world, would be like the dude from Police Academy making noises with his mouth – he’ll just have little cards. Business cards that have typewritten words of whatever the f—. So instead of him saying ‘blam’, you’d find this card on your desk and turn around and ‘blam’, he’d shoot you and stuff like that. Which I think is a little more chilly, you know, for doing it in live action.

“On a comic book page, those big word balloons with a tiny word in it were so f—ing sweet. It looks beautifully graphic, like, at the same time it creates an image of ‘this is weird’. But I don’t know if audibly making noises would ever work in the real world, so I think those cards would be bad-ass, man. So [you read] ‘slit’, and you’re like ‘slit?’, and then all of a sudden you turn around he cuts your f—ing throat and dude just cocks his head Michael Myers style and watches you go down.”

'The Flash' season 3 premieres on The CW on October 5th @ 8 PM/EST
