Arrow really is worth a watch all on its own. The first season is on Netflix if you have that.

I was hoping they would use a clearly impossible scenario. Catching an arrow is a little meh
Somewhere between that trailer and this. http://youtu.be/6wc5fbHPJz4
More flashy lightnings too

LOL! That was funny.
I can't speak for other superhero shows, but Arrow is great. Try it!

Arrow is amazing, one of the best superhero hero adaptations in general.
So hopefully Flash is as well, his origin in Arrow was a great start.

Has anything ever showed a super-speed character (besides Incredibles) and had it not look terrible? Nothing against the show or anything I just can't remember ever seeing a show or movie with a super fast character that looked any kind of realistic. (Yes I understand how that sounds but you know) Has anyone seen the new X-Men film? Does that Quicksilver look any good? Maybe Avengers will get it?

Agreed.
Really glad that some people in this thread liked it but that did nothing for me other than make me cringe.
If The Flash is in future DC movies will they use this actor?

The DC shows on other networks won't be connected, but it looks like those on CW will. They're also working on Hourman tv show and might do YoungJustice too. Plus there's always chance they will go back to Deadman now that Kripke is free after Revolution was canceled.

Have you seen his episodes on Arrow? He is more Barry Allen than Wally West in fact nothing about their version of Barry Allen reminded me of Wally West.

For a CW budget the suit looks all right. Not a fan of the red logo yet. Good use of the silly lighting bolt ears to keep his silhouette; helps get past the problem Cap's helmet had from The Avengers.

WB hasn't openly acknowledged that it's in the same universe. Apparently if people like this Flash show, they will. Otherwise, they'll brush it aside as just a TV thing that's non-canon and get a different guy for movies.
They really should just use the TV show. Grant Gustin was super likable in his Arrow episodes. We'll see how he does in the spotlight.
Suppose the CW and the DCCU will never cross. The weird thing right now is that WB/DC is going to have their Justice League movie around 2017 or 2018. Does that mean they are planning to end the Flash tv series before the movie comes out to avoid confusing the general audience? I don't think WB/DC wants to have 2 different sets of Flash characters going on at the same time.
Reviews are calling Quicksilver the highlight of the new X-Men movie so I'm assuming they nailed his speed. Also (Winter Soldier spoilers):
Quicksilver looked great in the post credit scene of Captain America too.

Speed effect looks terrible.
Almost worse than the blur used in Smallville. How is such a thing even possible?

So no?
looked good in film. that gif is ugly resolution.
also i think quicksilver in dofp is looking pretty good in action
I actually thought it was alright..
Is there an example of speed effects that looks great?
Live action speed effects more precisely.
Also youtube reference would be preferable.
Note; If "Man of steel" is an example, I'd like to respond with mentioning while I'm no expert, I think the budget for a movie and tv show are a little different in terms of visual effects.
Now I should have prefaced by saying I'm not trying to play devils advocate but actually quite interested in seeing good speed effects. Gives me a bit more perspective to start arguing. Lol.
They've used the excuse of "Well we had Smallville and Superman Returns out at the same time and no one was confused!" It's a stupid excuse in the modern era when people are expecting cross-universe stuff like that now.
I think X-Men and Avengers 2 will do it well.
And of course, Incredibles 2 when that's out like 6yrs from now lol.
Technically TASM2 had super speed if you count the Spidey sense slowdown stuff.

Sane here. The two have different tones and everything.

I think it's ridiculous to assume people are just that stupid that having two versions of one character at the same time will make their heads hurt.
People might expect connected universes, but they had to be taught this. They can just as well be taught to accept two different versions of the same characters existing at the same time. Both concepts are used in comics and nobody has any problems with it. Especially since it's superheroes tvshows/movies. Those things get recast all the time, so it's already over halfway there to acceptance.

Ummmmmm
I gotta be honest, your answer is not very helpful. I was asking a sincere question. Replying with "Ummmm" and then an out-of-context GIF and no other information doesn't really help me find an answer. What is that GIF from? It looks like a video game? Is it a movie? Is there somewhere that I can see more of that in higher quality to make a better judgement?

I actually take it back. Seems to be a case of rose tinted glasses as the footage on YT doesn't look nearly as good as I remember of looking at the time.
The footage from his first appearance is better, but not by much. Smallville effects haven't held nearly as well as I remember them being at the time.
He likely made the assumption that since you were in a genre thread you would get the genre gif reference. Most of us did.
Ummmmmm
I don't think I've seen this scene from the trailer though.
Welp! It's Man of Steel as it turns out.

It's from the newest Superman movie
And they will, nothing stops them to use this suit only during his origin phase.
Gustin was PERFECT as Barry on Arrow. They've introduced him so well.
