im still confused how ghost rider is gonna fit into the aos universe.

Maybe Because of the timeline screw up, Earth 2 will never be introduced thus Zoom from Earth 2 will not exist and it explains why Supergirl’s Earth now exists instead…

Now that Kid Flash is coming I am hoping we will have at least have one hero speedster on the show who isn’t a fucking bitch.

Hawkingbird · July 12, 2016, 9:45pm

While he has the costume I was hoping he wouldn’t be called Kid Flash. He too grown for that name.

Raz0r · July 12, 2016, 10:03pm

So is this going to be Wally West or Bart Allen?

po_pimpus · July 12, 2016, 10:26pm

He better have a ginger counterpart from another Earth show up at some point…

HD-Man · July 12, 2016, 10:59pm

Not a fan of the costume, not a fan of Barry’s either, but ik sure he will be great. Can’t wait for the new season

Wally was still Kid Flash in his 20s. This is fine imo, the name will probably come as a joke once in a while and he will just be called Wally.

The exposed head looks terrible. Just as bad as New 52. Unless you have long enough hair, it always looks like shit. That being said Barry still has the worst suit.

Hell better than Crying Barrys for damn sure. And yea, hope he isnt an insufferable bitch like Baz either.

Darc_Requiem · July 13, 2016, 3:01am

He and Barry are damn near the same age…

Jion_Wansu · July 13, 2016, 5:29am

Maybe this can be the villain

Also, funny how the other DC threads in here get no love because everyone knows that Flash is the best show…

I actually like the Kid Flash costume on Wally.

I ordered The Flash: The Silver Age Volume One. Iris was there from day one, Barry being late was a day one thing too and Flash’s nickname Scarlet Speedster was another thing introduced in Barry Flash’s first appearance. Huh. Neat.

I wanted to see when Mark Waid’s first book of Flash TPBs hits. December 6th. Dude, the wait for that is killing me. Thankfully I’ll have the show and other Flash trades to read.

SPOILERS!

I just binged Season 2.

I have to say as a guy who know shit about the Flash mythos, I fucking love this show!

It is slowly creeping up to be within a hairs breadth of Batman TAS.

Pros:

Jesse Martin and Grants father and son character moments. Jessie is underrated on this show

Patty. Its nice to see a love interest be generally likeable and not drown the show in her angst/selfishness like “Happiness” in Star City. Also BOOTY!

Ciscos new vibe powers.

Wally. Im glad he had a character arc of being rebellious and then became closer to Joe et al. I was scared he was going to be too dickish.

The special fx. To think that a broadcast network TV show could render Killer Shark and Grodd relatively well is astounding.

cons

I think Pattys departure was too clunky.

Caitlins treatment of Jax. Se thinks bc hes not a scientist hes not worthy to become Steins new partner. Yet after Henry is a big dick, she changes her tune too quickly.
Good thingboth were homeskillets, otherwise it would have looked more suspect.

cisco needs a long term love interest imo. Hawkgirl was cool, but he needs some punani. I would also like more scenes of the main 3 having fun a bit more outside of Star LAbs.

While the zoom/jay reveal was cool, It wasnt as momentous as the Eobard?Reverse Flash reveal

As a Flash noobie, I hope the Season 3 main villain isn NOT a speedster. Shake it up a bit.

I wish Barry’s dad had stuck through the show more this season so that his death would ave resonated more.
I realize it was probably done since hes redundant with Caitlin being a MD and an established character.

Flashpoint…

Hawkingbird · July 25, 2016, 8:50pm

Details on the Flashpoint season from SDCC

The fallout of “Flash’s” second season finale, referred to as Flashpoint, will have an effect on the other shared universe CW/DC shows. “Flash” lead Grant Gustin even said that he knows of a Flashpoint change in “Arrow,” which he said was a subtle one.

When we pick up with “The Flash” in the season three premiere, a year will have passed since Barry altered the timeline and he will be loving his new life. Both of his parents are alive, Wally West is the Flash, and Barry works for the CCPD. But Barry will also get advice from another speedster about navigating the new timeline, Gustin said.

Keiynan Lonsdale spoke about his role as the Flash of the Flashpoint timeline, saying that he’s confident in the part – maybe too confident. But, as Jesse L. Martin revealed, his identity won’t be known to his father, Joe West.

Joe West will be on the outs with his daughter Iris West (Candice Patton) because of unrevealed reasons. Patton confirmed that Iris is still a reporter in the Flashpoint timeline, which is a job that she loves portraying on screen. Martin said that his character will be at a low point, and Barry will have to work hard to get Joe out of his rut. Lonsdale and Patton both weren’t sure if Joe West was still married in the Flashpoint timeline, as that hasn’t come up yet in the scripts they’ve received. Overall, though, the West family dynamic will have changed.

Joe West’s relationship with the rest of the cast will have changed as well. While he will interact with Kid Flash, he won’t know that the hero is his son, Wally. And since he didn’t raise Barry Allen, the two won’t be terribly close – therefore, Joe won’t know who Cisco (Carlos Valdes) or Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) are.

Carlos Valdes spoke about Cisco’s arc in the upcoming season, saying that Flashpoint will affect the entire dynamic of the show. And while he remained mum about exactly how his Vibe powers will factor into his new Flashpoint role, he did tease that powers have a tendency to grow alongside characters.

New cast addition Tom Felton spoke about his character, fellow Central City Police CSI Julian Dorn, saying that he will be suspicious of Barry Allen and will have a “slightly abrasive” relationship with him. He also said that while Julian will know Barry through years of working together, Barry will not be familiar with Julian due to his newness in the Flashpoint timeline.

With “Supergirl” now on the CW, Grant Gustin expressed great excitement at the thought of Superman coming to the series (played by Tyler Hoechlin). But don’t expect to see a Flash and Superman team-up anytime soon. Gustin revealed that he has not yet shared a scene with Hoechlin, and doesn’t know if he actually will. “The Flash” is in production on the second episode of Season 3 right now, and “Supergirl” begins production on its second season next week.

And while it’s been established that all four of the CW’s DC shows (“Arrow,” “Flash,” “Supergirl” and “Legends of Tomorrow”) will have a weeklong crossover this season, none of the cast members yet know what it will entail. When asked what he would like to see happen in the crossover, Keiynan Lonsdale laughed and said he just hopes he’s in it.

Please be Max. Please be Max.

CDB2 · July 25, 2016, 10:43pm

They have to have Superman show in this and in Arrow now. Unless Synder’s embargo is still in place.
