Figured I'd make a thread for this show being there isn't one. There is a pic of Grant in the Flash suit floating around and it looks pretty cool.

http://i.imgur.com/yYqtKy5.jpg

this show has promise

Why doesn't this show release right now?

I like Grant. He has a lot of potential. He did good on Arrow and I'm hoping that carries over to The Flash.

Can't wait to see how this turns out. I liked how his origin played out on Arrow and look forward to seeing it play out on TV.

Cause they probably haven't started or finished filming yet

Certainly looks better than Quicksilver

Calm down

we still haven't seen Whedon's version of him.

Flash makes another appearance on Arrow in the next coming weeks.. they will start filming his series in the summer to start in september most likely

which version Whedon's or Singer's

Whedon's version of quicksilver is a bigger part of the movie than Singer's. More attention will be paid to Whedon's version, so I'll bet that it's great. Also Whedon can do no wrong.

Wooo, looking forward to this.

I was talking about Singer's version obviously. Whedon will definitely do a far far better portrayal to Singer.

Just seeing this Flash outfit makes me laugh and cry at how Singer with such a huge budget just can't get a damn costume right. They claim the right costumes won't look good. Well the Flash looks pretty good to me on a simple TV budget.

I also hope John Wesley Ship is Jay Garrick. I know he was cast and that would make sense but if not thats ok at least hes in it lol

i agree

This costume already looks better than the flash costume in smallville, that was a hood and some sun glasses which was highly disappointing so it's nice to see the proper flash costume

Since Barry is gonna be in another arrow episode does anyone think maybe Ollie talks him into being a hero?

Nah, didn't seem like he needed convincing to want to help fighting the good fight.

Besides I don't think he is coming back in Arrow season 2 now. That was the original plan but they opted for a Flash origin pilot instead.

Anybody have a pic of Quicksilver from the new X-men movie?

And is this show (the flash) going to be as heavy on the emo soap drama as Arrow or is this going to be a more lighthearted show?

They just started filming a couple days ago btw.

I've read it will have a different tone to Arrow. So probably more lighthearted. And definitely more sci-fi.

Tomorrow People is moving to mondays, so Flash will probably be on after Arrow.

Here is the full costume! I love it!

What's worse is that DOFP is a massive budget film, whist Arrow and The Flash are just very small budget Tv shows.

Poor QS, that's two bad renditions of him. Hopefully he will be at least well written

That looks like crap compare to Flash imo.

Why the **** are we talking about X-men related stuff in here?

^ Just praising the job the Flash series creators have done with the costume in comparison to the way these big budget movies are handling their own speedster.

Personally i like the Avengers 2 Quicksilver, Got no problems with that one.

I agree..he looks fine to me. I do also like what I have seen of the Flash suit.

I too like the look of Avengers Quicksilver.

The look of Quicksilver in the new X-Men makes me think that it may be as turd-y as the last one.

Okay that's all kinds of cool. I want it now!

This show looks soo great! It can come "fast" enough.....

Trailer looks great. When is the show's premier?

From what I hear it will air on Tuesdays at 8 PM eastern.

indeed I looked up this falls line up and it will air right before Supernatural on Tuesdays.

I do not know when it starts though.

I can't believe looking at this that it is a CW series. The special effects look like a big budget movie. They really could have just made this into an awesome movie. But then if they did that we wouldn't get an episode every week : )

Been looking forward to this for awhile now. The costume, the FX, the trailers....nothing's disappointed so far. Good to see other people excited for this show!

I don't see it lasting....what kind of trouble would a guy who moves so fast run into? Gonna be hard to come up with ideas

If that were true there'd be no comic, though.
The TV version will be a lot less powerful, as will the villains in most cases. I think its going to work great.

Also, if they find a viable way to get Captain Boomerang on the screen, i will pee my pants!

PIS and CIShelp with that in the comics
in a television show that would be pretty annoying.
But flash will be watered down so there's that i guess

Not seeing it as watered down. No character's ever been translated 100%.
Hopefully the show itself'll amp you up once it comes on proper!

From the trailer with the reverse Flash we know that someday this version of the Flash will be able to run through time. Unless the Reverse Flash is obscenely faster/more powerful then The Flash.

EDIT: I do get the feeling(maybe its also part of me hoping) that The Flash is going to be really powerful.

Again, not seeing any problems here.
Why does the character becomes less viable/entertaining in live action?
The reverse (no pun intended) is actually more likely, as the medium wont allow for the FX that can easily be brought to the printed page. His powers will be more grounded, less out of this world.

I don't know about that. again going off of the trailer....there is

Faster then sight movement

fast healing - a radial fracture can take 6-8 weeks to heal and even as long as 3 months to get your arm back to proper working order. He was completely healed in hours.

Time Travel - as I mentioned before unless zoom is that much faster then the flash.

and

when catching that bicyclist everything is completely frozen in place.

and that would all be shown in season 1 while hes getting the hang of his powers. I think he will be massively powerful. maybe not comic counter part powerful but still powerful enough im sure there will be times when people question how could anyone beat him.

Soo the Pilot wasn't bad!

To add to that, Smallville had Clark ftl (among a bunch of other powers), so I don't see why Flash would need to be nerfed drastically from his comic counterpart.

Unless the Reverse Flash is obscenely faster/more powerful then The Flash. just before she was killed, kid-barry saw yellow AND red 'bolts' colliding around his mother. obviously the yellow bolts were zoom, which means the red bolts were himself/flash. so yeah, i think it's obvious that zoom travels back in time to try and kill barry when he was still a child so flash never existed, but barry also figures out how to time travel(introduction of the cosmic treadmill, perhaps..?), and is able to battle zoom long enough to save his younger self...but at the cost of his mother's life(he can't save them both.)

pilot was outstanding, btw.

Is that a spoiler?

Didn't read.

not really. just me speculating on what's to come based on a scene from the pilot.

Thats a pretty good speculation. Ive been reading that some people think that a particular person is actually Barry from the future. Idk if it will be Barry himself but it is someone from the future that much is clear. Also I wonder if Mark Mardon will be in the show at a later date...seems like a possible set up and the scene with the cage after Barry wakes up....I squealed a little lol

That was awesome. In one episode we meet Reverse-Flash, Killer Frost, and Weather Wizard (well, his brother), set up for Gorilla Grodd, got to see Green Arrow, got the Flash's origin out of the way, and have him in his suit. The little Wayne Enterprises nod was awesome too, so we know for sure Batman exists somewhere. Ferris Airways was also a nod to Carol Ferris (Star Sapphire, Green Lanterns love interest, and super villain). I cant wait until they start to introduce other heroes like Superman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern or Wonder Woman. Great pilot!

I'm calling it now. A few seasons from now, Barry is gonna die and Wally will take up the mantle as the main character.

Spoiler tag you're post.

Damn it! Shall I pirate this pilot or wait a few months?!

Well whatever you decide its worth it. It is a good start. Im probably gonna watch it a bunch more lol Still plan on watching it when it airs on October 7th....actually I will have to wait for hulu since I don't get that channel where I live lol

Saw the pilot and really liked it. Again cw has the worst secondary characters, they are so annoying.

grodd, zoom as the detective, time travel, etc all in the first episode? Not to shabby. Not sure who the scientist from star labs is actually supposed to be

How did you see the pilot

Download it. I use a torrent program

Originally posted by Arachnid1

A few seasons from now, Barry is gonna die and Wally will take up the mantle as the main character. the future headline shown at the end of the pilot is already setting the stage for flash to die in a COIE-type event: "FLASH MISSING, VANISHES IN CRISIS", and just below that article is another headline which reads: "RED SKIES VANISH". during COIE, the sky turning red is what heralded the destruction of the multiverse. COIE is also the event in which barry allen originally gave his own life to save the last remaining universes.

so yeah, i have no doubt that barry will die at some point, and the flash mantle will be passed to someone else. my only real question is when the show's producers plan on doing this..? i suppose it really all depends on how well the show does. /shrug

Thats the funny thing. Everyone here is coming up with explanations as to how it will happen or that it will happen in just a few season but my first reaction was that will be how they bring things full circle at the very end of the series...

EDIT:This was my thought. Wells is Barry from the future and he came back in time to help guide his younger self into making changes to the future. This way the crisis can be avoided completely. Anyways thats all just speculation from one episode. Originally I hadn't even thought wells might be future Barry just that he was someone come back to help change the future but then I saw people say it could be Barry and I noticed small things like when wells said "I can say unequivocally that you are one of a kind" which made it feel like he really could be.

So...why did he try to stop Barry from being a hero? Yeah in the end he was like 'okay be a hero' but at first he was against it

Originally posted by steverules_2

Maybe because he was self loathing. Possibly something he wasn't able to stop or maybe he wasn't able to save the people of his city or maybe even Iris dies in the future and its his own fault. Because when he says "You are not a Hero you are just some kid who got struck by lighting" he sounded angry. Heck for all we know maybe he feels he started the crisis and wanted to prevent himself from becoming a hero so that wouldn't happen but when he saw young Barry had jumped into action it was too late to stop him so he decided to try to guide him on a different path instead.

However like I said, this is all speculation from the first episode so it all may change but it all seems to work.

I dunno...I don't think it's future Barry, maybe I'm wrong but I don't

Originally posted by steverules_2

Well with the amount of people from the future in the Flash comics he really could be anyone.

I hope when Barry does disappear he comes back

Nice pilot with a hell of a cliffhanger.

Looks like we'll be getting some sort of take on the Justice League at some point.

Any chance this will tie into the Man of Steel movies?

i think he'll turn out to be an older version of barry, who was displaced in the past after saving earth from the crisis-event prophesized in that future paper. essentially, he will be his own creator.

It just occurred to me maybe the hint in the Flash pilot at the Crisis storyline could be used to connect the Tv- verse to the Movie- verse. They could easily say that they are different Universes but part of the same Multiverse. That way no one could argue about the Movies stifling the creativity of the Tv show or Vice Versa. Plus it would make a heck of a storyline for one of the mediums to use.

At least that way the Flash's Tv Origin would suffice for the movies, as they could easily say/hint that the Origins of the 2 Universe's within the Multi-verse are pretty similar. They would also be free to use Stephen Amell or Grant Gustin in the films if they WANTED, without having to mention anything in the Tv Series, as there will be many parallels in the parallel Universes. But they would also be completely free to cast different people, seen as they are still different Universes.


I mean come on, they've mentioned the word CRISIS That just makes anything possible now!

I think his exact words were that he's not in Batman V Superman because the logistics of a Shared TV/Movie Universe is difficult to work. Of course I'm not talking about a Shared Universe, I'm talking about a Shared Multi-Verse

But maybe the writers of Flash have hinted at CRISIS just for the possibility of doing something like that in the future. They would still obviously have to convince WB. Also I doubt Amell would know all the possibilities the writers of Arrow are discussing for years down the line, let alone the writers of The Flash.

Anyway we can always hope!

Now that I really think of it, it would be a little difficult introducing the concept of a multiverse in the movies. The fact that there's a multiverse can't be a side plot, it has to be the main plot.

Establishing a multiverse, and simultaneously Arrow and Flash, is a challenge a good writer can accomplish.

Problem is, Goyer's not a good writer.

lol like I said its a good thought. I remember hearing a rumor awhile back that if The Flash show was successful they would consider just connecting it to the movie verse. But I can't speak for the validity of the rumor.

Only problem is its unlikely to get many viewers on the CW, and I take it that's what it's success would be measured on.

In any case can't speak for the rest of you, but at this point I'm much more interested in the DC shared TV Universe than their shared Movie verse.

Most likely but as far as I know thats all just made up anyways lol

Im bias when it comes to TV shows myself. I love TV shows much more then movies. Imo in a TV show you get soo much more time for character/story development. You can go a lot more in depth....even if the show is only a 13 episode mini series. The only draw back is the special effects are usually pretty cheesy. Thats a trade I can live with though.

^ Game of Thrones style special effects actually look really cinematic. I agree, TV has so much more creative potential than a movie. If network television operated more like HBO and other cable companies, TV > Movies irrefutably.

^ Animations are great too. None of the cost constraints in what you cam do and what you can't. Plus the same multi-episode story arcs available. That's what made the JL and JLU toons rock. But still is always that Tad bit more exciting seeing the Same in Live-Action, and having your hour long episodes instead of 20 mins.

Come to think of it WB should really get on with a Flash cartoon as well if they are serious about promoting the character to a range of demographics before the JL movie comes along.

At first I was disappointed when I heard the news that there was going to be a Flash t.v. show after hearing rumors of a movie to be announced at SDCC last year. Now after thinking instead of getting a film every 3 years we'll get 22 episodes a year. And with the tech. adancments we can get quality effects also. Maybe DC has the right idea to focus on live action t.v. over fims.

It's better for the entertainment of us fans, that's for sure. But not as good at getting coverage to a wider audience. But we know Flash will be in the Justice League movie and a rumoured duo movie with GL, so he'll be getting plenty of big screen coverage eventually on top of the weekly series we have to enjoy.

Anyway the 2nd episode is called "Fastest Man Alive," so sounds like an extension to the Pilot.

more news regarding Firestorm and Captain Cold has been cast..

http://tvline.com/2014/07/18/the-flash-captain-cold-wentworth-miller-season-1-spoilers/

Well its been confirmed guys. The DC Tv Universe will not merge with the DC Movie Universe. Plus no CW version of Batman or Superman coming to the Arrow/ Flash Tv verse for now. They're being saved for the big screen. However they're still thinking about the Amazon series so we might eventually get a Wonder Woman on the CW DC Verse.

Can't post links from my phone but you can easily confirm all this by googling it. It's come directly from Geoff Jhons and the CW President.

Confirmation : (

I don't see a reason why they should be connected, or even think it would work.

These tv versions are going to have movie counterparts, and it's probably a good thing that they won't be played by the same actor. There aren't many tv actors that transition well to movies.

There's a few reasons:

1. JL is only having 1 solo franchise building up to it. Everyone else is just going to be thrown in there. Putting the TV Flash in there would have been much better than just throwing a new random Flash in there Imo.

2. Marvel is managing to keep it's shared Universe throughout it's cinematic and tv versions. Whilst DC are not even keeping the whole Tv Universe integrated. (Constantine and Gotham are both going to be completely separate Universes to the Arrow/Flash one). People are invested in the MCU which is why many people will give GOTG, Agents of Shield and all the new Marvel Netflix shows a shot. So it's just another way WB/DC is behind them.

3. Hype & fan excitement.

Good actors tend to be good actors in either medium. Especially in a role they have played for years and are comfortable with. That's why it's not unusual for mega successful/loved tv shows to get movies made. Even if one is never made. From Star Trek, through X-Files, Sex and the City, and heck even Firefly.

Think it will be odd though having 2 different versions of the same superhero at the same time. There will be people confused over Quicksilver next year (actually maybe there won't be because he was never actually named as Quicksilver in DOFP), but that's because of rights issues and different studios wanting to use him.

But when the same studio is making 2 different versions simultaneously it's like they are just purposely trying to confuse people. Either that or they just don't give a crud. I still remember David Goyer's interview about that and other aspects of the shared DC Universe, and his answer to pretty much everything was just "I don't know" which came across as "I don't really care anymore."

1. OK? No one even knows if the Flash tv show will go past one season. Or if Grant will be a good Flash.

2. No one watches AoS.

TV actors usually aren't good. Arrow doesn't have good actors. I could list plenty of tv actors that weren't good movie actors, like the cast of Firefly. It won't be odd at all. There were 2 Superman actors at the same time tv/movie and it didn't make it odd. Having 2 movie Quicksilvers is not nearly the same as having a movie Flash and a tv Flash. As I said, having 2 actors play Superman didn't confuse anyone. If you get confused from having 1 actor play a character on tv and one in a movie, you should probably be wearing a helmet.

True, but they've stated even if it does tank and suddenly gets cancelled after 1 season (which I seriously doubt) they will continue the character in Arrow.

Grant's playing Barry as a Peter Parker type. Can't go wrong with that really, especially when they'll already be plenty of mature macho types in the JL. And Grant's a good actor.

It gets more viewers than Arrow. It began with a much lager audience but that went down quickly because the show sucked for like the first half of the season.

And it's viewership's all down to being associated with the MCU.

Daredevil and Agent Carter will also get viewership for that reason.

So if they merged the TV/Movie verse with DC, then you have the Flash in the JL movie, it would obviously be heavily marketed that this guy has his own Tv show and that would guaranteed increase the shows viewership.

You can't just generalize like that about TV Actors. If we did then we never would have seen William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and Deforest Kelly in the Star Trek movies. Even in the new Star Trek Zachary Quinto has gone from TV to Movies and is still a great actor. Same goes for Benedict Cumberbatch. Good actors tend to be so in all mediums.

Superman Returns already had an Origin since it was a sequel to the Reeves movies (SR also flopped so not sure why anyone would want to follow that model). The new Flash is just going to be dumped into Justice League without an Origin or Solo movie.

All the ideas for the Flash series came from the scrapped planned movie from a few years back. So my main complaint is, either they should have done the solo movie series instead of the tv series, or if they wanted to do the tv series then merge it with the movie verse.

But the way they've done it is just silly. Your GA will be like "WTF" when a guy faster than Superman just randomly shows up in JL.

Damn..about Barry's powers....running on walls, running on water, eventually passing through solid mater and time travel? Awesome. I was afraid they might scale his powers back..but nope.

LOL even a DC TV series does more justice to their characters powerset compared to the MCU

Do we have a premier date?

October 7th! and it can't come fast enough lol

No need for the bias/hate TH3. Marvel's clearly miles and miles and miles ahead of DC on the big screen, whilst DC is miles ahead on the small screen.

Big screen is where you get the best special effects, the most exposure to your GA and is the most profitable by a HUGE Amount. But I personally prefer getting weekly comic book awesomeness. Walking Dead and Arrow really make my week.

Proper buzzing for The Flash to start.

He ran on water but never up walls or through objects, I suspect this version of flash will out do Smallville version very easily as the whole show is centered around him.

You may be right, but being able to run on water and running faster than Clark while running backwards kinda insures he can run on walls.

He easily outran Clark one time, left Clark with his mouth open.

Yea he was way faster then clark but Barry was outclassed in everything else. Like he said he always had to be on the look out where is clark not so much.

I doubt this new Flash will be faster than Smallville Clark.

Unless they decide 1 season to just portray him as completely invincible.

Will be good to see the phasing through solid objects thing. Also hoping we get something Akin to an Imp eventually.

He meant Bart not Wally, and is referring to a line in Smallville where Bart says something like, "when I'm sleeping I'm just as slow as everyone else." Or maybe he said "Standing still," can't remember.

His point is that Clark > Bart despite Bart being much faster than Clark.

Yeah that was the ine but in the comics as soon as a bullet or anything started to touch their skin they would go auto speed mode. They may do that in the show at some point.

Well the Pilot in English premiered today. I decided to actually wait and see it and I have to say it was pretty good. Acting quality is still the typical CW stuff but other than that it was solid.

I like the Wayne tech. Easter egg.
