CW? No thanks.

CW? No thanks.

Arrow is awesome.

 

[Capital_Five]

If they can afford the same effect as HBO does when the True Blood vampires use when they run super fast, I'm in.

Not from the episodes I watched.

You mean the most hilariously bad use of fast forward on TV? No thanks.

 

[ganon]

I kind of feel that the Flash should be a grown ass man, not a teenager.

What?! It's gonna be a teen Flash series??

 

[Ridley327]

Will Mark Hamill finally be able to go for the much-desired hat trick of finding a third way of portraying Trickster?

 

[ReiGun]

He'll be an early to mid 20 something. Just like Ollie.

 

[Funky Papa]

It gets A LOT BETTER from midseason onwards. By the time Manu/Deathstroke shows up, the show kicks into overdrive.

 

[Malvingt2]

Wait so people think that Barry is boring? wut lol

Anyway I do love Wally and all but I rather have Barry any day

 

[Slayven]

The best way to show superspeed is not to focus on it, but instead the effects of it.

Like clock up

They had to give Barry an Oedipus complex to give him depth. Didn't work

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Arrow is awesome.

It really is, but I'm withholding judgement on how they'll treat the show until season 3/4. That's roughly where Smallville started to go downhill in terms of location shooting, etc and they were left with filming all scenes in the same four/five locations.

Open at Lex's mansion, cut to barn, cut to shop, cut to barn, cut to generic looking Lexcorp lab, cut to barn, cut to home, cut to mansion, end of episode.

 

[Capital_Five]

Good enough for me. Its a TV show, its clearly going to be made with or without my input. The effect isn't amazing but its serviceable enough for me to tolerate it and tune in.

 

[alexmakitto]

I wonder if this would be a good excuse not to make a Flash movie.

Check out Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox. Ok, it's not a live action movie, but don't miss it anyway

What do you have against the CW's parking lot?

 

[Forsaken82]

Really hard

The original series used a sped up camera and did it mostly from a first person point of view

Smallville just added motion blur to him.

There were some OK moments of speed shots on smallville actually

I remember one in particular where hes outrunning a bullet in the rain that was particularly impressive as the rain drops suspended in air split as he (and the bullet) ran through them.

I saw it. Flash vs Zoom was nicely done. Hope it's that good in live action.

It's almost hypnotic, but I still don't understand what the hell he was trying to do.

 

[Ripclawe]

better yet just focus on thea leaning against the wall like whatever

I hate this scene so very much.

 

[Funky Papa]

Or the dirt on the upper left part of the pillar magically disappearing between cuts.

Hah, no matter how times I've seen that gif, I always fail to notice her.

As do we all.

Holy shit. Mind blown.

 

[DieH@rd]

I dont understand people who dont want superpowers in CW's Arrow.

Flash could be a great addition to Arrow, two shows could work great one with another.

 

[Blader]

I have had a chance to read the article yet but.........., What?

Why are Warners so insist on 'dumping their Flash wade' on a TV show when the character is so well suited to a cinematic debut rather than the much smaller budgets that a broadcast (the CW no less!) have.

The visual possibilities of a Flash film are huge given the right talent of course. While making the Green Arrow a CW show makes sense The Flash is one of the members of the Justice League it's...........,

...., it's baffling.

Only thing I can think of is that WB is reticent to pump a couple hundred million into a Flash movie, so they want to test the waters first with this show.

 

[DieH@rd]

Holy shit. Mind blown.

That gif is gift that keeps on giving.

Look at 1080p version, and you will see that the graffiti is just sticky paper.

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Wasn't there a Flash show already in the early 90s? Something about a young kid and a scientist, and the kid could run really really fast, and he fought crime?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

No, goddammit. It'd be the same thing as Superman walking onto the set of a Nolan Batman film. It doesn't vibe well with me.

 

[Village]

It's going to happen at the same time as Cassandra Cain, just you wait

You on some half life 3 shit.

 

[Clevinger]

For those who were curious, it's going to be Barry.

 

[awilliams213]

Meh I was hoping the Arrow universe was going to avoid meta humans for a while.

 

[King Allant]

I don't know whether to be excited or worry about this.

Fruedian Wat?

Elaborate.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

He wanted to save his mommy from dying and ended fucking up the universe.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Depowered version only please.

 

[DieH@rd]

No, goddammit. It'd be the same thing as Superman walking onto the set of a Nolan Batman film. It doesn't vibe well with me.

And I would have nothing against that. If we did not see superpowers until now, that doesn't mean they don't exist somewhere. And one isolated experiment in which lonely scientist gets struck with the lightning that gives him access to the Speed Force wont change much. He will most likely get involved in the storyline with 6-10 attractive young people and he would use his powers just to complicate relationships between at least two love triangles. This is CW after all.

 

[Village]

Oh, I thought we were talking about some weird rape of miss marvel level shit.

 

[Wiktor]

As I wrote in the arrow thread already... I love the idea of good Flash show, but not at the cost of destroying one of the best things about Arrow, which is no powers. Keep the ilussion that Arrow is set in Nolanverse please.

Bloody hell. That's amazing.

This is now the best gif ever. There's just so much happening in that 2 second frame. It's amazing.

 

[DieH@rd]

For me, the best part is Thea. She's just resting, without giving a fuck what is happening.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

For those who were curious, it's going to be Barry.

For reference, this is the same one that in the recent Flashpoint animated movie right?

If so, I'd prefer Wally/Kid Flash. Hell, I'd take Bart/Impulse too. In fact, I'd quite like to see Impulse in the lead.

 

[Wiktor]

Be sure to notice the dissapearing part of the wall near Thea's head

You didn't watch enough then.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Doubt he'd be introduced on Arrow. They've already said they don't want to introduce any powers to that show.

 

[Beer Monkey]

Jay Garrick is my favorite Flash. Seriously. I'd love a retro Flash set during the time of the Great War.


EDIT: New 52 Flash is Garrick? Ha. Of course, I don't read new comics.

 

[EulaCapra]

Great Hera, even on TV Wonder Woman can't catch a break still.

 

[slightconfuse]

Do it batman beyond style where jay Garrick hands down to mantle to a young Wally west.

Would be awesome

UPDATE 9 PM: During the CW executive session, the network’s topper Mark Pedowitz gave more details about The Flash project. It will be the origin story of Barry Allen who will be introduced as a recurring character on Arrow this coming season.”We want to exapand the DC universe of characters,” he said. Pedowitz also confirmed that “Amazon is on pause (as) the script is not exactly what we wanted, and with an iconic character like Wonder Woman, we have to get it right.”
