The Flash tv series on CW

[Raph's Girl]

Seems that there's gonna be a Flash tv series on CW network. It'll be a spin-off of Arrow! So much for the "No Powers" policy.

Barry Allen will be a recurring character in season 2. The Wonder Woman series, Amazon, will still happen eventually as well.

[TurtleTitan97]

Sounds cool. Looking forward to it.

[gobo]

So, Barry won't be The Flash?? Crazy.

[snake]

FLASH TV SERIES!!?!?!!? AMAZING!!!

Wait....

No Barry Allen until season 2?

[Cowabunga Carl]

He will be a recurring character in season 2 of Arrow.

[TigerClaw]

I remember the Flash TV series that came out in 1990.

Oh, never mind, I misread and my mind got warped.I should've read the artical before reading Gobo's post....

[ToTheNines]

This disturbs me. I'm excited to see Flash getting some attention, but I despise Arrow. I'd hate to see the same bastards ruin the Flash.

I agree. The 1990 CBS series was cool! John Wesley Shipp made the Flash awesome!
Especially that episode whee he played the guitar to defeat the foes!

Nothing, if you don't mind superhero-inspired soap operas. >_<

A little more info on it:

UPDATED: The Flash will appear in three episodes of the CW‘s Arrow this coming season before headlining his own spinoff series. The information was shared this afternoon by the three writers –*Arrow co-creators Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg and series scribe Geoff Johns — behind the Flash project. an origin story of Flash’s Barry Allen identity. The episodes, No. 8, No. 9 and No. 20, will be penned by the trio, with David Nutter, who helmed the Arrow pilot, committed to directing Episode 20. Kriesberg also confirmed during the conference call today that the actor who portrays Barry Allen will play him as “an ordinary man” when viewers meet him in Episode 8. “The character will be as grounded and realistic as possible,” he said. “That’s how we’ll get to know him. Then his life will get a bit faster.” He added that the surrounding characters in Arrow will react to Allen “in a very realistic way,” noting that they “won’t be treated as commonplace on the show but as extraordinary events.” Kreisberg added: “It will be fun for the audience to see how we do our take on The Flash’s powers. Some will feel very familiar to those who know the comics, and other stuff will feel different yet fresh and exciting.” Berlanti noted, “That said, he does need powers to become The Flash. And he will be The Flash. He will wear a red costume, and he will go by that name.”

[Raph's Girl]

More info on Barry Allen/Flash. Seems he'll be in at least 3 episodes of Arrow season 2 (8, 9 and 20).

Barry Allen in the Arrow universe is “just an ordinary forensic scientist working for the Central City Police Department” when we first meet him, Andrew Kreisberg tells us. “As we always do on Arrow, we try to keep things as grounded and realistic as possible, and that is the way the audience will be introduced to Barry and get to know him before his life gets a little bit faster.”

So yeah...we get to know him a bit first before he gets his powers.

Still haven't read the article, but are they suggesting this show premieres mid-season? O_o

Considering that Barry doesn't really become Flash till like ep 20 something tells me that the Flash tv series won't air till fall 2014. In Arrow we get to know him first as Barry Allen. They're fleshing out the character before he gets his own series.

Talk about (bad) pacing :teek:

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

Seems that there's gonna be a Flash tv series on CW network. It'll be a spin-off of Arrow! So much for the "No Powers" policy.

What no powers policy?

[Raph's Girl]

What no powers policy?

Before the first season of Arrow aired the producers said there'd be No Powers. That it's a world of no super powers. With the introduction of The Flash, it seems this has changed.

http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2012/08/the-cws-arrow-plays-by-new-rules-no-super-powers-no-punches-pulled-and-no-clark-kent-cameos.html

[sdp]

Well the no powers policy seems good and to break it so fast is not a good sign but you can't have a stupid rule like that bind a show forever, just take a look at Smallville and their "no tights, no flight" rule, it actually hurt the series down the road.

I'm very excited, I always thought Flash worked better as a tv series than a movie series because I just want to see more of the Flash and you can't do that with movies. His effects can easily be done in TV budget as well. I loved the 90s tv series and actually think it holds up rather well. The fact of making a TV DCU is not a bad idea, the movie universe is being done rather nicely by Marvel, this is a way for DC to have their own universe in the mainstream without copying too much from Marvel but we'll see how things go with Batman in MOS2.

I'm not familiar with comic flash too much but Barry Allen in the TV show was great, and Wally West in JL was also great, I'm fine with either of those takes on the character. I was indeed bored with The Batman's and DCU animated movies take on the character like in New Frontier. And we don't see enough of The Flash in Young Justice/BATB but YJ's Wally was alright.

[Leo656]

I could get behind this if they do it right. I love The Flash. I absolutely love the classic show and have always wished someone would give it another try, so this could be cool.

I don't think this was a CW/WB imposed rule as much as Tom Welling. I read an interview where he basically admitted he was afraid of the "Superman Curse" and thus had it written into his contract that he would never wear the suit. The producers had no problem with that because that wasn't what the show was about anyway. Even in the finale, what we see is CGI.

[Guitar_Raph]

Just found out that playing the scarlet speedster is Grant Gustin from Glee & the new 90210.

[Raph's Girl]

Hmm...seems that CW has decided that The Flash will be fully introduced in a stand-alone pilot instead of the intro being an ep of Arrow.

We'll still see Barry in Arrow as the 2 main episodes that introduce him have been filmed, however I guess we won't see him as The Flash in the show itself.

http://comicbook.com/blog/2013/11/18/the-flash-to-be-introduced-in-standalone-pilot-episode-on-the-cw/

[Raph's Girl]

And casting's have begun for the West's!!

Law and Order star Jesse L. Martin has been cast as Ira West, father of Iris West/grandfather of Wally/GG grandfather of Bart. There are some um changes to his character from the comics.

In the comics he was a nobel prize winning physicist. In the show he's a police Detective who took in Barry after his mother's death and father's imprisionment. Basically Iris and Barry were raised together. Iris is Barry's BFF in the show.

This is Jesse Martin:

[CyberCubed]

So is Flash going to be black in this series?

[TurtleTitan97]

So is Flash going to be black in this series?

No, he's being played by Grant Gustin:

http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/glee-grant-gustin.jpg

[Raph's Girl]

So is Flash going to be black in this series?

No. Flash is Barry Allen. He's white and was raised by the West's. If Wally ever shows up he'll be black.

[ToTheNines]

Iris is Barry's BFF in the show.

Weird.

Not that I was ever going to care too much about a show that spun off from "Arrow". (Although I've heard season 2 is better)

[Raph's Girl]

Aaand Iris West has been cast. She will be played by Candice Patton. The only thing I've seen her in is "Heroes".

http://www.newsarama.com/20232-report-the-flash-s-iris-west-cast.html

http://i.newsarama.com/images/i/000/122/617/original/candicepatton.jpg

[CyberCubed]

Wow, so Flash is half black in this series.

[Raph's Girl]

Wow, so Flash is half black in this series.

NO! The Flash is Barry Allen. He's a white who was taken in by a black family after the death of his mother and incarceration of his father.

If Wally West were to be in the series he'd be black. But the show is about Barry.

[Zany Orange Dude]

I'm really pumped for this. I enjoyed Smallville and I am still on the fence about Arrow (have to watch a few more episodes). Flash has always been one of my favorites so I am glad to hear they are doing a series about him.

If this show doesn't have Barry and Iris end up together, I'm gonna be pissed. That's racist as fu*k.

[Leo656]

Bwahahahaha.... Seriously?Vibe? VIBE? Vibe's terribuuuullll...

What an odd choice of a character to include in this show; a character whose own co-creator hates him with a passion. Ah well.

[Raph's Girl]

Tom Cavanagh has joined the cast of The Flash. He will be playing Harrison Wells, the dude responsible for the funding of the Star Labs particle accelerator that gave Barry Allen his powers

[DonnyMac]

I'm so psyched for this show. I love Arrow, and I think Gustin was great as Barry in the 2 parter. I'm a big fan of the John Wesley Shipp series, so it's great to see the Flash get another show

[TurtleTitan97]

Wesley Shipp, who portrayed Flash in the 90's series, has joined the cast: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=94419

[NinjaPug]

How awesome would it be if Shipp played Jay Garrick?

[Raph's Girl]

While it would be cool if he played Jay Garrick Im thinking that he'll end up being Barry's dad.

[Krutch]

Looks pretty sweet, i gotta say. The neck collar makes me a little nervous we'll see something Smallville-esque than Arrow-esque but we'll see. Hope its a fun series :)

[Andrew NDB]

I didn't notice the collar until you pointed it out. That is definitely cause for concern... especially since they're just showing the head.

[CyberCubed]

Stuff like this makes you realize how stupid superhero costumes look when people wear them in real life.

[Leo656]

I like how kids these days entirely miss the point of how super-heroes have always looked flamboyant on purpose. It's kind of always been the entire point of them having costumes.

"Look at that guy in the cape and mask and primary-colored spandex get-up. He looks ludicrous."
"He sure does."
"Any chance you got a good look at his face while he was punching our teeth in?"
"Honestly, I was too busy trying to figure out how I was gonna explain to the guys in holding that I got my ass kicked in by a nutjob in a cape."
"Yeah. This is pretty embarrassing. I think I'm bleeding internally, and I have no idea who did this to me. Damn it."
"I mean, we totally could have just shot him in the face, but-..."
"-But the fact a guy in a mask and a cape just jumped off a goddamn roof and started screaming at you sort of threw you off. I know. I know."
"I wish we killed him."
"I wish he'd killed the BOTH of us."

But yeah, they're supposed to look stupid. Which, in a roundabout way, makes them even more awesome.

[Raph's Girl]

And now... the full costume!

https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/t1/1622691_824696717545125_1200474241_n.jpg

http://www.tvguide.com/News/First-Look-Flash-Costume-1079141.aspx

[Leo656]

Not bad. I guess he can have kneepads, why not.

Having a thin, barely visible yellow line going around his arms instead of the usual lightning motif is an odd choice, simply because the detail is so hard to even see that it may as well not be there.

Not bad.

[NinjaPug]

At first glance it's better than I was expecting but I'm going to need a better photo with proper angles and lighting before I judge it.

[TurtleTitan97]

Costume actually looks pretty neat. Can't wait for this.

[Krutch]

I'm hoping for another live action Superman series, but I guess that'll be on the back burner for a while now.

Anywho, the costume looks cool to me. Still does a great job at hiding any possible collar, though. Not that it'll make or break the costume at this point, just preference.

[NinjaPug]

Better look at the full costume:

http://i.imgur.com/sx3P01X.jpg

[CyberCubed]

OK...no. The outfit looks like a Halloween costume. What is with those pants? And those sleeves?

It's like they only worked on the mask.

[Krutch]

Hmm.. I get the feeling if Smallville had an 11th season, the costumes would look like this.

I'm still okay with it, actually. You'd be surprised how well costumes can look with good lighting and a competent director.

[Leo656]

Hm. Boy, that really doesn't hold up well in the daylight. Looks too much like Affleck's Daredevil costume, or just a generic motorcycle outfit.

The mish-mashed smooth/rough texturing on the jacket is weird.

I don't hate it, but I take back a little of my earlier enthusiasm. :ohwell:

Shipp's costume was better.

[Cure]

I understand the want for fancy looking costumes, but I kinda like it when they look sh*tty, too. Makes it seem more just, thrown together. I know if I became a superhero, how fancy my costume is would be a low priority.

I could go either way.

But yeah, I like it.

[sdp]

I'll wait and see but I'm not too crazy about the show so far. I think I would've preferred a movie, and I was the one who for years said didn't want a Flash movie but another live action TV show. We'll see. I'm a big fan of the 90s tv show and while a bit dated in parts I think it's excellent and has aged as well as say the Burton Batman movies.

[Candy Kappa]

I'm liking the costume a lot. Even thought it probably need some tweaks her and there in the shoulder and pelvis area. But for the most part it looks pretty darn decent. I'd love to see the show use different costumes, as in, when the first one gets broken in a season finale or whatever, the new costume could have some improvements on them.

[Raph's Girl]

Even more images of the costume:

Also, Michelle Harrison has been cast as Nora Allen.

[NinjaPug]

The CW picked the show up for this Fall.

[electric_sheep]

Not holding much hope for this, it's like mandate on CW that there must be Melodrama patheticism in every show...
CW is easily the worst network...

[sdp]

I'm really excited for this show now, especially after finding out how awesome Arrow is.

[Raph's Girl]

Check out this WAAAY cool teaser trailer!! Nice crossover too!! :D

rnXsnR-2AvU

[electric_sheep]

Arrow is crap and the actors are crap, to this day CW has not produced anything good, not holding much hope for this...

[Krutch]

I was really hoping that in motion I'd like the costume more...

...nope :(

Bummer. I'll still check it out though.

[electric_sheep]

Yj0l7iGKh8g Mehhh, his powers look cool but the speeches and the story look like typical CW garbage, still hate that they turn Iris black (not because i hate black people but because i hate any race change for a change sake) and it looks like she'll be another Laurel.
Not impresed...

[ZariusTwo]

Do I even need to see the pilot? That trailer was practically the whole ep

[Turo602]

Looks good enough. I still think The Flash looks awkward but I could watch it. Hell, I still need to start watching Arrow.

[Raph's Girl]

Those Star Labs folks are Killer Frost and Vibe BTW. So Flash has an instant super team and a Prof Xavier wannabe mentor who's an expert on mutants oops I mean Metahumans. :P

[TheSkeletonMan939]

That was awful. Just... Christ. Bad actors, bad filming, bad slo-mo effects... man. CW is really awful.

Arrow wasn't anything special - quite boring, actually - but this is going to be just a disaster. I mean come on, how many episodes about a fast guy can you make before you run out of ideas? Two?

When they were testing his speed at 2:27, it looked like they filmed him jogging slowly and then added a speeding background. I thought that was absolutely hilarious.

[Cure]

That looks pretty cool. I like Arrow a lot, so I'll check it out.

[Leo656]

Looked pretty good to me. I was skeptical but it looked a lot better than I expected.

[CyberCubed]

Isn't Barry Gordon supposed to have blonde hair? The kid they casted in this role looks like Peter Parker.

[Raph's Girl]

Isn't Barry Gordon supposed to have blonde hair? The kid they casted in this role looks like Peter Parker.

*lol* Well for one thing Barry Gordon's the actor who was the original voice of Donatello. The character is Barry Allen and yes he's normally blonde. But then again his love interest, Iris West, is normally white so just think of this as part of the multi-verse. :P

[Leo656]

Yeah, John Wesley Shipp wasn't blonde in the original Flash show, either, but I got over it. I love when they get people who look exactly like they stepped off the comic page, but it's more important they act the part right. It seems like they added a little of Wally's personality to flesh him out a bit, which makes sense, because frankly, Barry's always been a bit of a stiff and not a very interesting character on his own, in my opinion. So far it seems good, though.

I don't love the suit but I get why certain things are the way they are. I just don't get why they circle logo is red instead of white. I know that's such a minor nitpick, but it's just like the S shield in "Man of Steel"... if you're 9/10s "perfect" with something, why fudge the last 1/10 just to be "different", when you know people are just gonna nitpick it anyway? :P Other than that I think it's okay. I'm sure we'll see more of it in motion than we will standing still. I always really liked the Flash suit from the original show but looking at it now, as accurate as it was, it really looks kind of like a Six Flags character costume.

I'll check this show out. Wasn't sure but they've got me curious.

[sdp]

I saw the trailer and I prefer the teaser. I don't like the suit too much and the trailer was a bit generic but I'm pretty excited. Flash is one of my favorite superheroes and deserves to be in more media. I really like the 90s show, I think the quality of the show is quite good for a TV show of the time, feels right in line with the Burton Batman movies in terms of mood.

I always wanted a Flash TV show instead of a movie since it'd mean more Flash instead of one every 2 or 3 years, let's hope it's good. The fact that Arrow is amazing makes me think it'll be great.

[Krutch]

Gotta say, I really hope they actually call him The Flash. I know the teaser indicates thats going to be the case, but so did the teaser for Season 2 of Arrow and they still haven't called him by Green Arrow yet. Add in that on the newscast it says "RED STREAK SAVES" or something like that, and I'm worried.

Why does it seem like DC is embarrassed of their own characters? Between the Red-Blue Blur, The Vigilante/The Arrow, The Canary, and how extremely little they called Superman by his name in MoS, and how infrequently he was called Batman in the Nolan trilogy... anyone else just annoyed?

[blindturtle02]

Yeah Krutch, I get ya. That's starting to annoy me as well. Looking forward to The Flash series. Out of all the DC heroes, he's the one I'm least familiar with, so I'm excited. His rogues ought to be interesting. I'll have to check this show out in the Fall.

[BabyTurtles]

coolio :3

I'm not really familiar with Barry...I remember Wally best

but I'm sure he'll be just as awesome XD

not really liking his suit, but I do like the cast~

Barry looks cool~ Iris is freaking gorgeous.

can't wait ^_^

[CyberCubed]

Yeah Krutch, I get ya. That's starting to annoy me as well. Looking forward to The Flash series. Out of all the DC heroes, he's the one I'm least familiar with, so I'm excited. His rogues ought to be interesting. I'll have to check this show out in the Fall.

Flash had a very large role in Justice League and Young Justice. Of course that was Wally West as the main in both shows.

Barry Allen does appear in a few episodes of Young Justice however.

[Krutch]

Pilot was better than I thought it'd be. Actually thought it was a stronger pilot than Arrow's, personally.

[Raph's Girl]

Pilot was better than I thought it'd be. Actually thought it was a stronger pilot than Arrow's, personally.

gotta love it when pilots get leaked online months ahead of schedule. The show's not even airing till October!

Anyways. I totally loved the pilot ep.


So we got a new origin story for Gorilla Grodd and the series is leading up to COIE in 10 years. :o

Also, "Wayne Tech/Queen Inc merger complete" :o

[Leo656]

Grodd? Really? :lol: Holy sh*t, nice. Guess this show's gonna be pretty invested in the comics stuff after all.

I'm gonna wait until it's actually out to watch it. I still haven't even gotten into Arrow yet. Missed the entire first season of that so now we're just gonna catch up with the DVDs. I'll try and get in on the ground floor of this one, since it looks decent and Arrow sounds decent. I just hated Smallvile SO much, I've been gun-shy about these new live-action super-hero shows. Sounds like they're more true to the source material, though.

[Lampy]

The pilot was amazing. The superspeed effect, the fact that he's wearing a suit, the intro, the origin out of the way in 15 minutes, that last scene and that red herring. Jeez... as a DC Comics fan, I gotta say this was a good start to a promising series.

[Raph's Girl]

Looks like another hero is gonne be in The Flash. Robbie Amell (Cousin of "Arrow" star Stephen) has joined the cast of Flash as...Ronnie Raymond/Firestorm! :o Guess he got his powers from the Star Labs explosion.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=53948

"Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller has been cast as Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold!

Leo, I promise Arrow is nothing like Smallville. Batman, yes, but I love the show.

So, I guess I really am going to have to check out The Flash.

[Raph's Girl]

Boy this 1st season of The Flash is full of various heroes and villains!!

They haven't cast her yet but it seems Plastique will be one of the bang babies. This is also proof that Smallville is its own universe since in Smallville she got her powers from Kryptonite exposure.

On The Flash, Plastique is Sgt. Bette Sans Souci, described by TVLine as an Army bomb specialist who was injured by an IED in Iraq: “Since being exposed to the Central City explosion, she can turn any object into a bomb with just a touch of her hand.” The website seems to suggest she could be a potential ally for Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen.

http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2014/07/23/the-flash-to-introduce-dc-villain-plastique/

[Raph's Girl]

Plastique has now been cast. She will be portrayed by Kelly Frye.

http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/07/29/the-flash-casts-kelly-frye-as-plastique/

[Raph's Girl]

Awesome!! Clancy Brown has been cast General Wade Eiling, who is after Plastique as he wants to use her as a weapon. :o


http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/08/09/the-flash-has-cast-clancy-brown-as-the-general/

[Raph's Girl]

Well here's something interesting. Amanda Pays who played Dr. Tina McGee in the previous Flash series will be reprising her role!! This time around the good doctor will be an employee of a rival company to Star Labs.

I'm looking forward to my live action debut.

Seen the trailer on Youtube a few weeks ago, looks promising.

[NinjaPug]

Wow. Loved the pilot.

[Zatoichi]

It was a pretty decent episode, it might be awhile but I can't wait until they introduce Grodd and Captain Cold.

[Jester]

I wonder if they'll ever do Grodd.

[Zatoichi]

I wonder if they'll ever do Grodd.

He was hinted/teased in the pilot with the cage so I think so, maybe not THIS season but probably in the 2nd or 3rd.

Victor Garber has been cast as the 2nd half of Firestorm, Dr. Martin Stein. The other half, Ronnie Raymond, is played by Robbie Amell.

[Slade]

I waited to watch the premiere. I liked it.

[TurtleTitan97]

The show has been pretty good so far, though I'm not 100% sold on the costume yet. I do hope as time goes on, we get something like this:

https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/10403675_798889363496621_67632203389067428_n.jpg?o h=88ffc643554f8ece4560d2a4dbffb6e7&oe=54BCD42A

I am curious on how this show will handle Gorilla Grodd when he appears. It certainly won't be easy to CGI a talking gorilla with a TV show budget.

[Slade]

I'm digging this show

[Turo602]

I think the show is alright. The costume still bugs me a little and I'm not exactly feeling the cast but I'll keep watching just to see how things go. I'm really liking Arrow though, finally got to catch up thanks to Netflix and Hulu.

[BlueKatana]

Two episodes in, I think the show is solid and a lot of the effects that I didn't think would look great on TV look well, great.

Honestly, after watching it so far it actually kind of bummed me out that they cast a separate movie Flash that's in the same age range and is also going to be Barry Allen. I try to be objective when it comes to DC, but they don't make it easy.

[Raph's Girl]

WOOH! CW has picked up Flash for a full season of 22 eps!

Good news. Now to see if Constantine is a club banger on Friday.

[Raph's Girl]

Linda Park has been cast (or rather recast since she appeared already on Arrow played by a diff actress). She will be played by Malese Jow (Vampire Diaries) in a recurring role. Altho in the comics she's Wally's Pre-DCNU wife, it seems that in the show she's a... potential love interest for Barry! WTH?!?! :ohwell:

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=56635

[TurtleTitan97]

The recent episode was pretty good. Really liked this show's take on Captain Cold. Looking forward to seeing him, Heat wave, and the rest of the Rogues show up.

[Luigiperps]

I loved all the puns

[Davetello]

Seen the first episode the other night - it looks very promising and I will attempt to catch up by the time the fifth episode airs.

[Raph's Girl]

Looks like Ronnie Raymond isn't the ONLY Firestorm oops I mean F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M (apparantly it's an acronym now! :roll: ) that'll be popping up! Luc Roderique (most recently seen in Godzilla) has been cast as Jason Rusch.

http://www.ksitetv.com/news/firestorm-warning-dc-comics-character-jason-rusch-to-appear-on-the-flash-exclusive/46524

A graduate student at Hudson University, he was part of Martin Stein's research team on the F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. project.

Now to figure out WTF the acronym stands for... :ohwell:

[TurtleTitan97]

Gorilla Grodd will be making an appearance in tonight's new episode: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/GraphicCity/news/?a=110900

[TheCanadiandrome]

very cool show, i'm digging it alot

[TurtleTitan97]

I found it interesting how in the latest episode, one of the people Dr. Wells listed as "dead" was

Ralph Dibny AKA Elongated Man. I hope that, just like Firestorm, he's not necessarily dead, as it would be pretty cool to see both him and Flash team up just like in the comics in a future episode.

[Raph's Girl]

I found it interesting how in the latest episode, one of the people Dr. Wells listed as "dead" was

Ralph Dibny AKA Elongated Man.

All the people he listed as dead are long standing JSA and JLA members. He mentioned:
Ralph Dibney/Elongated Man
Grant Emerson/Damage
Al Rothstein/Nuklon/Atom Smasher
Will Everett/Amazing Man
Bea Da Costa/Fire
Ronnie Raymond/Firestorm

And last week it was mentioned that Firestorm has been doing superhero stuff off screen. Barry scoffed at the idea of a man made of fire but doesn't burn of course.

[TurtleTitan97]

So yeah, LOVED the Flash/Arrow crossover. I was surprised by how Captain Boomerang was actually a pretty awesome villain. I hope we see more of him in the future.

Can't wait for the Reverse-Flash's debut next episode! Should be pretty sweet. :D

[Slade]

The crossovers were decent. I liked Arrow's a bit more, but add me to the can't wait for the next episode list. :D

[Raph's Girl]

Girder has. He's been in 2 episodes.

[TurtleTitan97]

So let me get this straight:

Dr.Wells is Professor Zoom?!?!? :o He's the Reverse-Flash?!?!?!?! I knew the guy was fishy, but I wasn't expecting that. Curiouser and curiouser....

This was honestly the BEST episode of the series so far. Zoom was actually pretty terrifying. And Firestorm was awesome, looking forward to seeing him.

[Raph's Girl]

This was honestly the BEST episode of the series so far. Zoom was actually pretty terrifying. And Firestorm was awesome, looking forward to seeing him.

The Flash: Where the heroes name themselves and the sidekicks name the villans.

Yeah. But the kinda funny thing is that Dr. Wells beat himself up. :lol:

See that's what confused me. Is it really him or is there something else going on we haven't learned yet???

Payton List has been cast as Lisa Snart, sister of Leonard Snart/Captain Cold. In the comics Lisa is known as Golden Glider. Essentially she invented these ice skates that create their own ice shieth that she can skate on.

I predict the Season 1 finale is Flash going back in time to try to stop Reverse-Flash from killing his mother--and he has to let her die, because without her death, he never becomes the Flash.

I FRAKKING LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

First off it's Rogues as Rouges is french for red. :P

Secondly, I find it neat (and amusing) that Cold and Heatwave stole from Pied Piper's parents (who have apparantly kicked him to the curb for uh reasons).

[TurtleTitan97]

Darn it, I knew I spelt it wrong! I'll just go ahead and fix it.



Secondly, I find it neat (and amusing) that Cold and Heatwave stole from Pied Piper's parents (who have apparantly kicked him to the curb for uh reasons).

It's because he's homosexual. He was liked that in the pre-New 52 comics (I'm not aware of what his character is like now these days), and he later on becomes an ally of the Flash

[Slade]

Seems I can't post links from work, but Tom Cavanagh said "the". Though, I don't buy it.

[TheCanadiandrome]

great "Prison Break Reunion" episode for fans of that show.

and I agree, that three-way fight scene was well done

Grodd is coming:


Andrew Kreisberg @AJKreisberg · 24h 24 hours ago

Can't wait for Grodd!! We've already seen him once in a flashback tho. Should be interesting to find out who they cast to voice him.

Our first look at the Trickster!:

Also on a side note, Pied Piper was a pretty great villain in the last episode.
And we got our first mention of the Speed Force! :D

Can't wait for Grodd!! We've already seen him once in a flashback tho. Should be interesting to find out who they cast to voice him.

yes indeedy

[Guitar_Raph]

Back in 1990, The Flash had the guts to play the guitar.

25 years later, we find the new Barry Allen singing "Summer Nights" @ a karoke bar. Guess he wanted to get the Glee out of his system.

How cool was that?

[TurtleTitan97]

Dat Grodd scene..... :teek:

I admit, I was skeptical of seeing a CGI Gorilla looking good on this show. Never have I been so glad of being proved wrong!!! :o

Kudos to this show for a great job!

http://i.imgur.com/CX0iSx7.jpg

[Raph's Girl]

Some cities have mutant turtles and aligators in their sewers, give it up to Central City for having a mutant gorilla! :lol:

[CyberCubed]

Grodd isn't a mutant though, he's from Gorilla City. I'm sure you knew that though.

[Raph's Girl]

Grodd isn't a mutant though, he's from Gorilla City. I'm sure you knew that though.

Comic book Grodd's from Gorilla City but this is Arrow-verse Grodd.

[Leo656]

I demand a city full of sapient gorillas or things are bound to get most unpleasant.

[blindturtle02]

I can't wait to find out who's voicing him. I keep hearing Powers Boothe in my head, but that's because I've only heard Grodd in Justice League and JLU.

[TurtleTitan97]

Emily Kinny has been Confirmed to have been casted as a female version of the Bug-Eyed Bandit, a villain from the Atom's rogues gallery: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/markcassidycbm/news/?a=114993

According to Wikipedia, BEB was "proficient in the field of robotics and micro-circuitry and used this talent to create a horde of small robotic insects".

[THGhost]

It'll be interesting to see how this show will justify a giant gorilla suddenly appearing within the show's universe. :P

[Leo656]

Gorillas never need to be justified. "Gorilla" is all the justification you need.

[Cure]

It'll be interesting to see how this show will justify a giant gorilla suddenly appearing within the show's universe. :P

He's been referenced since the beginning. It won't be suddenly.

[THGhost]

He's been referenced since the beginning. It won't be suddenly.

The way it suddenly appeared in the sewers was pretty sudden. :P Referencing something does not mean it was building up to it.

What I mean is, this show really tries to explain and ground all of the bizarre comic book villains, making them more believable, and it does it really well. Throwing a giant gorilla into the mix might stir things up a bit. Not that I'm complaining, I'm really excited to see what happens.

[TurtleTitan97]

Gorillas never need to be justified. "Gorilla" is all the justification you need.

^Truer words were never spoken.

[THGhost]

Gorillas never need to be justified. "Gorilla" is all the justification you need.

Maybe to some, but as I stated before, a show that grounds its villains with so much believability is gonna have its work cut out for it when a giant gorilla is thrown in. Imagine if it showed up in Arrow - it would be SO out of place with the rest of the show. At least The Flash has a more kooky feel to it, so it'll no doubt work more.

[Leo656]

If a person can't simply accept a gorilla, especially a giant talking one, that says infinitely more about the person than it does about the show. :tgrin:

[THGhost]

Let's hope it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb then. :tcool:

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I honestly feel like we're not going to get much out of Grodd yet. He's such a big villain (pun intended), and we have so much to see of Firestorm and Reverse Flash, that I'm assuming we'll get nothing but short teases of the ape until he becomes the prominent villain of Season Two. Which is fine by me!

[Slade]

Looking forward to next weeks ep. Ready to dive into this time travel stuff.

[Turo602]

Holy ****, that was an amazing episode!

[TurtleTitan97]

Dat ending......

So "Dr.Wells" was actually Eobard Thawne who is now stuck in the past after he failed to kill a younger Barry due to the interference of the Flash. :teek: Nice!

[Slade]

I loved it and hated it at the same time. I saw the ending coming and I don't know if I like it. But we got answers so I'm happy with that.

[oldmanwinters]

It sure was cruel of Dr. Wells to do that to Cisco before...

he even had the chance to name him "Professor Zoom!"

:lol:

[Jester]

No matter how hard they try, I will never NOT laugh at Team Flash calling Captain Cold "Snart."

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Harrison Wells is a chilling badass...

[TurtleTitan97]

Man, between this show and the upcoming team-up spin off, DC is killing it with their shows! Can't wait for tomorrows episode, that's gonna be epic.

[MutantBear]

The episode's last twenty minutes were amazing, but I was afraid after I saw the time travel part that that timeline would become irrelevant. I actually like the episode after this one "Rogue Time" more, as it has big plot points and it's really fun. Really great series so far. Hyped for the next episode, featuring Trickster.

[TurtleTitan97]

Well that was an eventful episode! :teek:

[oldmanwinters]

Best episode of the season?

It gets my vote.

[Slade]

What the f*ck!!! That was great!!!

[NinjaPug]

So he's revealed himself to everyone but Iris? What's the point in keeping her in the dark at this point?

Other than that, great episode.

[oldmanwinters]

Mark Hamil knocked it out of the park with his performance in this episode.

And, yet... Tom Cavanagh is still the one who gives the creepiest performance of the episode. Barry learning to trust him while despising him was such a great moment. The vibrating through matter has long been one of the most dramatic of all the Flash's tricks. It took Wally West many years to gain the mental fortitude to finally pull it off in the comics. In those final scenes, you almost get the impression that Barry begrudging respects Wells/Thwane as one who understands what it's like to be a speedster.

Joe's big speech about Barry's greatest power being that he aspires to see the good in everybody might be a big theme considering his evolving relationship with Wells and what we learned in the flashback tonight.

[MutantBear]

Woah, that was the best episode. We are now a lot deeper into the story, and Mark Hamil was great. So now we know what Eobard Thawne did. Next episode will be Flash and Arrow crossover episode. Excited.

[TurtleTitan97]

So does anyone else hate Iris after last nights episode? She was such a humongous jerk, easily one of the biggest problems of this episode. She's like season 2 Laurel Lance 2.0.

I already hated her, but Iris is now a total bitch. I seriously hope she dies like in the comics... worst character ever.

Gaius Baltar and Gul Dukat are both more likeable than her, and they're both responsible for genocide.

[TurtleTitan97]

I already hated her, but Iris is now a total bitch. I seriously hope she dies like in the comics... worst character ever.


I'd totally be okay with that happening at this point. And then whenever she comes back she'd have a much nicer personality.

The sad thing is that Comic Iris (at least the Pre-New 52 version which I'm not all to familiar with) is so much nicer than this version. In an old Pre-Crisis Flash story, she found out Barry was the Flash because he talked in his sleep. But she actually kept that knowledge to herself, figuring Barry had his own reasons for not telling her and waited till he eventually told her himself. Easily one of the best Superhero wives out there. Iris is just a plain jerk on this series.

Having her be the only one that doesn't know Barry's secret is the problem. There's no reason to not tell her.

Jesus, even Captain Cold knows who he is.

[TurtleTitan97]

True. There really is no point if even Eddie knows at this point. But still, Eddie didn't deserve to be treated by Iris like that. Girl needs to learn how respect somone's privacy.

I know we're suppose to root for Barry to get the girl, but after seeing this episode, I fail to see he can be attracted to someone like iris. He had better chemistry with Felicity and Linda. And the latter's suppose to the wife of his protege.

[BabyTurtles]

whoa what did Iris do???

[TurtleTitan97]

She was being a total jerk to Eddie just because he couldn't tell her about Barry being the Flash, and a whole lot of other stuff.

[BabyTurtles]

What the-?? Eddie even knows?

why don't they just tell her already?

[TurtleTitan97]

What the-?? Eddie even knows?

why don't they just tell her already?

Because according to her father, it's "to protect her". Which really hasn't been working considering she's been targeted by 3 metahumans. And there was that one time she and the rest of the CCPD were held hostage by Clock King....

But even though hiding this from her is wrong, she was still very harsh on Eddie.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

What the-?? Eddie even knows?

why don't they just tell her already?

Because stupid drama.

There are two tropes superhero shows will ALWAYS use, even though audiences are sick of them.

#1. The Love Triangle (Oliver/Ray/Felicity) (Barry/Eddie/Iris)

#2. The Secret Identity (not so much Oliver anymore) (Barry)

[M.O.D.O.K.]

What the-?? Eddie even knows?

why don't they just tell her already?

Because Joe is being stupid and honestly kinda creepy. Which is a shame considering how likable he can be otherwise.

Reminder that Barry was willing to tell his former bully turned supervillain before Iris.

[BabyTurtles]

Eobard Thawne is just straight-up badass. Cisco's dream with that vibrating hand coming for him and that smile on Thawne's face... <shivers>

[Slade]

Finally an awesome episode.

[TurtleTitan97]

This really was a great episode. Can't wait for next week, looks awesome.

[Luigiperps]

I liked that the safety googles Barry was Wearing were the comic Captain Cold googles.

[Krutch]

Speaking from someone who watched each and every Smallville episode as it aired, let me just freaking applaud the pacing of this show. Its pretty much 5 seasons of Smallville pacing into one! And they're not shying away from things like Time Travel and a freakin' WALKING TALKING GORILLA! Love it.

[TurtleTitan97]

New Grodd clip: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=120088

I like the nod to the DCAU version of Grodd. He also hated bananas.

[M.O.D.O.K.]

Grodd was awesome this episode. I really liked the horror movie direction they took him in. Though that King Kong homage migth've been a bit much.

It's fun seeing Eobard act as a full-blown villain.

[Krutch]

Looooooved Grodd. Can't wait to see him again.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Unfortunately, I thought this episode sucked.

Too much of Iris continuing to be a self-absorbed b!tch, not enough of the psychic gorilla.

Grodd was AWESOME though. That scene where he was tormenting Joe with the gun? SHIVERS. :teek:

[TurtleTitan97]

Grodd was great, though I wish we saw more of him. Next week's episode looks pretty sweet.

[TurtleTitan97]

Another awesome episode. Really did enjoy seeing Captain Cold and Golden Glider again. Kinda wish Heatwave showed up though. Seeing Thawne going up against Oliver, Barry, and Ronnie was also nice.

One thing that I really liked (But somewhat sadden me) was

That Green Lantern reference. Given it's basically comic book tradition for each version of the Flash and GL to be best friends, a part of me was actually hoping Hal Jordan would eventually show up and befriend Barry. Though it looks like he won't be appearing anytime soon based on that comment regarding how "one of [Ferris Airlines] test pilots went missing.". But then again, maybe he could show up in Legends...

[TurtleTitan97]

So apparently there was Jay Garrick easter egg in the Legends of Tomorrow trailer during the brief scene featuring Thawne:

http://www.comicbookresources.com/imgsrv/imglib/0/0/1/lP0nuGQ-5261e.jpg

Guessing that means he could show up next season on the Flash.

Guess that means Jay is showing up next season!!! :D

[TurtleTitan97]

Holy crude............ :o

Darn shame about Eobard Thawne. Though knowing that he's already died in the comics and come back, I'm hoping they'll find a way to bring him back.

Spoiler Alert!

The finale of The Flash season 1 is mind-blowing!

[Turo602]

Wow, that was a great finale.

[TurtleTitan97]

Crazy theory, but what if

Eddie Thawne comes back as the Black Flash, whose pretty much the speedster version of the Grim Reaper?

Also, I'm digging the brief look we got of "Killer Frost".

[NinjaPug]

Loved the quick glimpse of Killer Frost when Barry was in the speed force.

Aw, I totally missed that. I guess I wasn't fast enough.

Woah, great shades of Elsa!

It's hard for me to imagine a scenario in which this version of Caitlyn (or Cisco) end up being murderous villains, but I suppose with alternative time-lines in play, anything is possible!

[Raph's Girl]

The Flash museum was also shown.

Eddie commiting suicide so that Eobard wouldn't be born was kinda honorable and all but darnit... Eobard's an ancestor of Bart Allen so thanks to Eddie there won't be a Bart Allen in this show! :(

[MutantBear]

Isn't this sorta confirm Flashpoint Paradox? Barry's mom never died, Flash is created in 2024, etc.

After the blackhole is stopped, maybe Barry comes back to a different world? Probably not but it's possible.

They can change his origin if they wanted to, you know.

[Krutch]

Looked the finale. Love this show!

As far as Killer Frost's costume goes... Look, I like looking at Danielle Panabaker in leather as much as the next guy, but its not much of a costume.

[Xav]

That was a pretty stupid episode. So why the hell were they letting Eobard go instead of keeping him in prison?He already told them what they needed to know. What good could possibility come from giving a man who tried to travel back in time to kill you a time machine? Wouldn't he just try to travel back in time and murder Barry again? Barry even said the time limit wouldn't be enough to save his mother and stop Ebard from returning home. So he wanted to stop him from returning home in the past, but was ok with it in the present? That made no sense. Then he decides at the end that giving the villain what he wanted wasn't a good idea and destroys the machine anyway because reasons.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I bawled the whole episode through... from all the father-son moments to Eddie's sacrifice and Caitlen's wedding...

WHEN DOES SEASON TWO DEBUT!?

[THGhost]

This finale actually made me tear up a little bit; that never happens with me. :lol:

[TheCanadiandrome]

Finally watched the finale and it was great. couple things coming out though;


1) Why did Barry's future self, stop him from saving his Mother? how the hell did he know that's what his former self was there to do?
2) Why did it look like Future Barry got both his child self, and his Dad out of the house, yet when Present Barry is comforting his dying Mom, his Dad is uncouncious on the floor?
3) What did Thawne mean when he said Cysco was affected as well? is he a psychic now because he remembered the alternate timeline where he died?

No idea about 1 or 2, but for 3...

Cisco* is Vibe in the comics; who I believe can see alternate timelines or something.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Oh ok Ty ver much bro

It's official, Jay Garrick will be coming to season 2: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=122675

[Raph's Girl]

Teddy Sears has been cast as Jay Garrick. Only thing I've seen him in is Torchwood Miracle Day. Wonder how many people are gonna be complaining about him being too young? He's 38.

http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/11/comic-con-2015-flash-jay-garrick-patty-spivot

[TurtleTitan97]

Teddy Sears has been casted as Jay Garrick, who is described as "a mysterious figure who arrives in Central City to warn Barry Allen and his team at S.T.A.R. Labs of an impending danger that he alone cannot hope to stop." Sounds like he'll be taking over as Barry's mentor. Perhaps in a role similar to Max Mercury to teach him about the Speed Force.

Shantel VanSanten has been casted as Patty Spivot, who will replace Eddie as Joe's partner. In the old Flash comics she was Barry's lab assistant. The New 52 made her become a police officer and had her date Barry for awhile.

Wally West has been confirmed to appear, and the main villain appears to be Hunter Zolomon AKA Zoom, the second Reverse-Flash.
