The Flash

Captain Cold is perfect (except that they had Vibe boy build the cold gun instead of him).

I have to say having Felicity guest star on the show brought out all the good things and highlighted some of the bad (like how little chemistry there is between Iris and Berry).
Can we just clone her?

 

I'm really enjoying The Arrow and The Flash, so much so that I paid for hulu+. Now I can watch it on my TV without hooking up a PC.

I heard a rumor that the TV shows and the movies would be separate universes. So the Justice League movie will have a different actor for Flash and Arrow including new origin stories. That sounds stupid as fuck to me as the actors really make their characters (IMHO). Why not have them make cameos in Batman/Superman?

 

I couldn't agree more. I also think it's stupid as fuck, and while I assume they want bigger names for the movies, I think it's a terrible move, when they already have actors who are doing a great job with the roles, making them their own. But DC has never shown much common sense when it comes to turning its characters into successful movie franchises. For some reason, they seem to do much better with TV. But they still don't seem to get the idea that Marvel clearly has embraced with Agents of SHIELD, that integrating your universes coherently only expands your opportunities and grows your fanbase.

 

What's most exciting about this show, for me, is that it's really enjoying being a comic book show. Sure, there are a few CW trappings holding it back here and there, and Warner Bros will never let it use most major villains (a la Arrow), but it's still far and above earlier superhero shows in terms of the marriage between quality and creative license. I mean, hell, we've got time travel (of some kind)! If Harrison Wells is who I think he is, this is going to only get more crazy and entertaining, all while remaining astoundingly faithful to the source material.

 

TV’s Arrow Wasn’t Pleased with WB/DC Movie Announcement « Nerdist

They are splitting it down the middle with TV and movies. I agree with Stephen Amell that it is a slap in the face of the actor who plays Flash on TV. I don't think DC is going to do this right and it's going to lead to a good bit of confusion with fans of the TV show. Marvel has comic book fans and MCU movie fans. Now DC will have comic book fans, TV show fans and movie fans. Will they have enough to support all three at the same time?

 

I think it's a stupid fucking move on DC's part not to solidify their movie and TV universe into one, the way Marvel is doing-- and doing brilliantly. And that goes double considering that I like this kid they have playing the Flash. I think he's doing a good job. And I wouldn't mind seeing him do it in a movie. The same way I hope that, if they bring Green Arrow into the Justice League film(s), I'd want Stephen Amell to keep playing Ollie Queen, since he's been doing a kickass job at it.

 

I suspect they will probably go for the more current version of Robin

 

They said somewhere (i'll look in a minute) that it was the Dark Knight Returns lady robin.

 

I heard they were going with Nightwing rather than Robin.

 

Just saw Geoff Johns tweeted that it would be Nightwing.
I hope they go with his original costume.

 

Because you think it will be set in 1977, or because you think Nightwing should be gay?

 

Gotta bring back the disco collar.

Sadly even Tim Gunn said that was one of the worst super hero costumes he'd seen.

 

Yeah, I saw that shit. Took me a second, but then I was like, "Wait...is that...?"

Also, did you notice he ran to pick up the pizzas in Coast City-- sign noted "Home of Ferris Aircraft?" Think that bodes for a GL intro?

 

Loved the run to Coast City for pizza, that was just so geeky.
And yeah, I caught the JL at the end, they just love to screw with us is all.

 

You guys catch the season finale? It was excellent, I thought! I think the show has been steadily getting better with each episode of the season, and it didn't suck starting out. I enjoyed the shit out of it, and can't wait for next season!

 

So many cool things going on in the finale.​

I have to say I think the fact that Dr. Stein is a Rabbi and a physicist is oddly one of my favorites right up there with Jay Garrick's helmet coming through the wormhole.​
