Looking forward to that Prison Break reunion in episode 10. All we need now is Abruzzi and we'd be golden. drat if I'm not hyped up for this show, but a question: Are they going to follow the Arrow procedure where they release the live episodes the next day on cw.tv?

I think this kid is going to be great. Plus there seems to be a lot of room for humor in this series. And Grodd better be in this show in some form or fashion dammit.

Grodd's pretty much been confirmed from the pilot, as well as Prof. Zoom, which is cool if they're going to go with the Flashpoint storyline if the rumors are true.

I feel kinda bad I only know Flash from Justice League and being Hal's best bud. The only villians I know are Captain Cold, Mirror Master and Professer Zoom. Who is White Boy Storm?

Ay that be Weather Wizard, another famous Flash rogue. :flashfact:

Part of the charm of Flash's villains is that they're all actually pretty cool despite having some of the worst loving names of any villains ever.

Saw the pilot, was fun as all hell. Stinger at the end nailed it too :flashfap: Does anyone know what the "Red (Crimson?) Skies Vanish" headline on the :science:future newspaper:science: might be referring to? All in all I think this is going to be a fun show, and I can't wait to see where they're going to go with the whole "Wells can walk and has knowledge of future events" thing (most likely gonna take it into Flashpoint territory).

E: Does the explanation that Barry gave when figuring out that the getaway car was a Shelby GT500 count as :flashfact:Flash Facts:flashfact:?

A lot of that was reference to Crisis on Infinite Earths, if you want to know more you can Google that. But that's one of the things that shouldn't really be touched on too much in this thread.

Yeah I was just curious. By now it's kind of obvious that either Crisis or Flashpoint are going to be a Thing in the series, but I would rather wait to see how Johns and company handle it for the TV universe.

Also that IGN article posted earlier had someone in the comments make the vague(?) reference that Harrison Wells was a reference to H.G. Wells, author of The Time Machine.

This is such a great show. Already blowing Gotham out of the water. And I'm thinking Multiplex isn't dead since he's rumored to be in the Suicide Squad movie.

Multiplex being dead in the DC TV universe has no effect on his appearance in the SS movie, because they're completely separate.

Crossposting from the Arrow thread because it's regarding the big crossover and therefore relevant:

Here's some insight into the big crossover from the actors themselves. Really interesting how they're doing the fighting between Barry and Oliver and how they're having to adapt to each show's filming style.

edit: Also, who's writing this show and why aren't they writing ALL the super hero shows? Not only addressing that they need a prison but that they also killed the last 2 metas (which is unsustainable) reeks of a level of self aware logic that I've rarely seen applied to TV shows in general, never mind super hero ones.

Geoff Johns is a big part of the production team, for both Flash and Arrow. Considering he's done work on the comics, there can't be anyone else more fitting to help work the shows.

Slightly related: The same guy who was cast as Kyle Nimbus (aka The Mist) for The Flash is also playing Victor Zsasz in Gotham.

Pretty cool considering the guy did a decent run as a criminal hellbent on revenge, and he definitely has the look of "psychotic murderer" nailed down.

gently caress the DC Cinematic Universe. We don't need the loving Justice League. Ollie, Barry, Ray and Ronnie can start the loving Justice Society and it's a fair bet it'll be better than what hits theaters. Or if we get three more heroes we can have the Seven Soldiers.

Veteran's Day Flash Episode involves Plastique and The General (Included: first look at Plastique)

Guessing that she's running from General because he became aware of her powers and will probably join Barry and co.

We all know that at some point Barry is going to travel in time. Hopefully they stay away from the Flashpoint plot when he does.

Actually this is apparently the direction the producers want to go with the time travel stuff, according to interviews.

Played more Lego Batman 3 today. If he's an option I find myself using the Flash more than anyone else. I really hope we get some DLC with Grant Gustin down the line. I haven't don the season pass yet but I know there's a Man of Steel pack but no Henry Cavill voicework.

Ooooh please tell me you got access to the Arrow DLC pack and please tell us that Barrowman legit does the VA for the Dark Archer. If this is true then I will hands down buy that game right loving now. :allears:

Taylor-Johnson was pretty dull and wooden in Godzilla, but that's probably due to the ham fisted story about the military guy trying to get home to get laid in the wake of a giant monster attack. :v:

Scyantific posted:

:siren:SPOILERS IN LINK:siren:

There was an advance screening of the crossover, and here's a list of some of the biggest things that are going to happen/be the focus of the event.

I think the biggest non-story related one we can take away is how they're legitimately planning to keep the characters bouncing between shows, and how they're very open to the idea of more crossovers later down the line.

Yay ctv showed the trailer. It was my understanding that the crossover would start on arrow not flash?

Arrow is taking the week off this week to give Flash time to catch up. Since it airs on Tuesday to Arrow's Wednesday it'll start on Flash next week.
