I always considered the Flash's costume to be by far the hardest to adept to a movie/series, mostly because it would always look to close to a scuba suit to actually work, so consider my deeply impressed. drat!

drat that looks good. Curious how they are going to make his powers look though. While running really really really fast in comics allows artists to be creative I just fear it might come off goofy in live action (and yes I know it will be CGI but still).

Based on the Arrow episode, I bet they'll do a lot more "Him moving at normal speed and everything else going in slow motion" than super speed effect.

I heard they were trying out some new tech or techniques for superspeed for the Flash show, so they are at least aware of the issue of doing convincing super speed on TV.

Yeah the big thing is that sure The Flash series may never actually take shape and he could just be relegated to guest extra on Arrow depending on how things go.

Though that does seem unlikely.

They'll probably do both, but This definitely plays into Grant's dance/theater background.

CW has a much lower ratings threshold for success than other networks, or even cable. Arrow, I think, is either their #2 or #3 show, Grant Gustin was very well received by fans and I know that Arrow fans are super psyched about it. Of course, the list of good live action superhero TV shows is exactly one name long, so it could be terrible and everyone could hate it. Then again, Smallville had 10 seasons, so I think that prospects are good.

You have to give Smallville credit in that their super speed scenes and effects were very well done, so I'd have to imagine this team doing even better could be pretty sweet.

You do have to admit that's pretty realistic from an outside observer's POV. Not exciting or dynamic or particularly fun to watch, but it's realistic.

I'm talking more like the scenes where he wraps a lead vest around an exploding kryptonite bomb and runs it out of the hospital, or where he rescues Chloe from Cadmus to a weird strobe effect, or races the flash.

Even simple stuff like running down a highway looked decent enough.

I'm sure Flash will use the cheap "whoosh, camera cut, gone" effect as well because there's really no reason not to.

I'd say the gold standard for super speed on film is the Faora vs. soldiers fight in Man of Steel, but that may be a bit beyond a CW's show budget.

Yeah, I can't see the Flash fighting quite the same way (that combination of speed and strength was just brutal) but that's what I would point to for 'super speed done right'

They better hope that doesn't happen. There's literally no way to have Barry be a regular and not make Oliver totally obsolete.

And in stark contrast with the Flash, webpage, logo and description for Gotham

http://www.fox.com/gotham/

quote:

Everyone knows the name Commissioner Gordon. He is one of the crime world's greatest foes, a man whose reputation is synonymous with law and order. But what is known of Gordon's story and his rise from rookie detective to Police Commissioner? What did it take to navigate the multiple layers of corruption that secretly ruled Gotham City, the spawning ground of the world's most iconic villains? And what circumstances created them – the larger-than-life personas who would become Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face and The Joker?

GOTHAM is an origin story of the great DC Comics super villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. From executive producer/writer Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist,” “Rome”), GOTHAM follows one cop's rise through a dangerously corrupt city teetering on the edge of evil and chronicles the birth of one of the most popular super heroes of our time.

Growing up in Gotham City's surrounding suburbs, JAMES GORDON (Ben McKenzie, “Southland,” “The O.C.”) romanticized the city as a glamorous and exciting metropolis where his late father once served as a successful district attorney. Now, two weeks into his new job as a Gotham City detective and engaged to his beloved fiancée, BARBARA KEAN (Erin Richards, “Open Grave,” “Breaking In”), Gordon is living his dream – even as he hopes to restore the city back to the pure version he remembers it was as a kid.

Brave, honest and ready to prove himself, the newly-minted detective is partnered with the brash, but shrewd police legend HARVEY BULLOCK (Donal Logue, “Sons of Anarchy,” “Terriers,” “Vikings,” “Copper”), as the two stumble upon the city's highest-profile case ever: the murder of local billionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne. At the scene of the crime, Gordon meets the sole survivor: the Waynes' hauntingly intense 12-year-old son, BRUCE (David Mazouz, “Touch”), toward whom the young detective feels an inexplicable kinship. Moved by the boy's profound loss, Gordon vows to catch the killer.

As he navigates the often-underhanded politics of Gotham's criminal justice system, Gordon will confront imposing gang boss FISH MOONEY (Jada Pinkett Smith, “The Matrix” films, “HawthoRNe,” “Collateral”), and many of the characters who will become some of fiction's most renowned, enduring villains, including a teenaged SELINA KYLE/the future CATWOMAN (acting newcomer Camren Bicondova) and OSWALD COBBLEPOT/THE PENGUIN (Robin Lord Taylor, “The Walking Dead,” “Another Earth”).

Although the crime drama will follow Gordon's turbulent and singular rise through the Gotham City police department, led by Police Captain SARAH ESSEN (Zabryna Guevara, “Burn Notice”), it also will focus on the unlikely friendship Gordon forms with the young heir to the Wayne fortune, who is being raised by his unflappable butler, ALFRED (Sean Pertwee, “Camelot,” “Elementary”). It is a friendship that will last them all of their lives, playing a crucial role in helping the young boy eventually become the crusader he's destined to be.

GOTHAM is based upon characters published by DC Comics and is produced by Warner Bros. Television. Executive producer Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist”) wrote the pilot, which will be directed and executive-produced by Emmy Award nominee Danny Cannon (the “CSI” series, “Nikita”).

This is gonna be such a trainwreck.

I was down with the first 2 paragraphs but then they went on about introducing the villains and it lost me. I don't mind a mention to Cobblepott here and there, but I worry that it might try jam goofy villains into a police procedural.

So Shield was actually good with good plot moving along and a neat twist. Still a couple of incredibly dumb things(mainly that the villain could control men with voice, they knew this, and went in with zero countermeasures, and then didn't shoot her on sight).
