Well then....I guess Black Canary might have powers after all then.

Please don't make his speed effect too cheesy. Please don't make his speed effect too cheesy.
That show was the bomb.
Pretty great news all around, though I hate that Amazon's getting put on the backburner. I should get around to checking out Arrow, sooner or later. 
God, I adored that run, goofy as it can be by today's standards.

Is this a case of muscle schaming I have been hearing about on GAF recently ?
It wouldnt have to be insane. They could use effects that were used on kamen rider kabuto completely amped up. Flash can be done without a movie budget.

Visually, I imagine doing The Flash is actually cheaper than most superheroes. Stuff like the stopping time gimmick is still done pretty traditionally, they just get everyone to try and stand really still. You add in a "frozen" cup of water/coffee/whatever liquid dropping in post production and call it a day. Everything the Flash does is simple effects work. Speed that footage up, slow that footage down.
I think the hardest part would be finding a concept that works as a tv series. Running into other speedsters has to be done sparingly, or it loses all impact. The Flash can do all kinds of wacky stuff with his access to the speed force, so you can slowly introduce new abilities and techniques over time, no problem.

Ehhh I didn't want powers in arrow so soon. It's gonna turn into smallville
Superman could have stopped Flash. He raced Barry before, Jokergrin. He even won some of those races.

the Wally you all love hasn't existed in comics for a long while. he was always the same as Barry, just younger. the one from JLA/JLU was a different personality altogether. quit harping on Barry already!
Does Warner just have like one team for movies and TV shows, and figured we'll keep throwing them at projects?

they also didn't say that Barry Allen on teh Arrow would have super-powers. just that they would introduce him in Arrow. maybe they'll introduce him as police scientist Allen and help Ollie with forensics and stuff.

Hahaha. Yeah I think DC has gone to shit after Nolan finished with batman.
They don't have anybody to inspire faith creatively on these projects
You didn't watch enough then.
Moments like that don't make up for all the stupid teen drama that happens in that show. Everybody is bitching and whining and (almost) everybody gets saved in time. It's an okay show.

This is legit my greatest fear.
Eh, I mean if he shows up and he's depowered, I'm cool with it. Inside man on the police along with Detective (sorry, Beat Cop) Chest Hair. We'll probably just end up getting a shit ton of Flash puns.

One of the chief differences with Smallville is that Arrow has almost zero teen drama.
Thor/Hurcules with a dash of sophistication

Fucking done. How hard is that.

I wouldn't say almost zero, but it certainly has a lot less.
I'd be open to this I suppose. I was dreading Arrow before it aired, and I was pleasantly surprised at how that turned out.

Now we just need Nightwing or Ra's to be in Arrow.
Now you lost us at this "LADY" part
Not really, it's very hit or miss. It also has some terrible teen drama shit.

The teen drama is a small drop in the large lake of awesomeness and abs.

Felicity nullifies any complains about teen drama.

Arrow is great, hopefully Flash will be too.
Dawson Dad ftw

no its factually awesome.
Sad this maybe the mentality of those up high.
If I recall, Aquaman didn't make it to air because it got lost in the shuffle from the WB and UPN merger. I watched it and thought it had potential.
"Superhero movie starring a woman!? We already gave you Catwoman. What more could you want?!"
I think going to go comic book pilot hunting this week
I've seen Aquaman, the NBC Wonder Woman, I believe THAT Justice League one, and I think one Marvel one.
But going to try and find em all
So what other failed shows/pilots exist?
Also as a treat, here's the intro to the Birds of Prey show

In my opinion, it wouldn't be far fetched if they cast either movie Flash or Arrow Barry with a black actor for the sake of diversity and modernization if they want to reintroduce the Flash property into the mainstream. Usain Bolt is still in the public conscious as the fastest man and some of the great black actors most notable roles were law enforcement personnel (Poitier, Smith, VelJohnson, Elba, ect). Of course there is Samuel L. Jackson as the director of S.H.E.I.L.D. even though his likeness was used in Ultimate Marvel.
Man of Steel changed up the look of some of the notable characters such as
so it wouldn't suprise me to see one of the new Flashes to be cast by a black actor. Imagine
Hopefully either the movie Flash or TV Flash productions would be of decent quality on whoever is cast.
Man of Steel changed up the look of some of the notable characters such as
Lois Lane, Perry White, and Jenny Olsen
the encounters between the Flashes of multiple worlds updated to the modern era. The baby boomer/comics diehard can still see the comics Barry working with the modern TV or Cinema Flash. The name Barry Allen could be a common name throughout the multiple earths.

This is all awesome, but I misread this as "mystical breasts".
Now, I'm slightly disappointed we're not getting Diana sword-fighting titties.
I feel like I learned less
Why is Flash better suited for the small screen than most other DC characters?
Especially ones that don't need to rely on CG for their powers.
Can a man dream?
He does have that going for him
He has one of the most diverse and fun set of villains in the DCU
Would say 3rd behind Bats and Superman, and... a lot of them work for TV.

At least one of those fellas is already super dead, TBF.
Isn't Barry Allen a forensics investigator? Probably easier for them to fall back on the cop procedural, CSI kind of stuff if they can't think of superhero shit for him to do.
