Arrow The Barry Allen/The Flash Thread - Part 2

[Boy Scout]

It doesn't look like a helmet at all to me.

 

[Sawyer]

Because it's not.

 

[batdude]

It does sort of remind me of Ultimate Captain America though.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Okay, I'm no longer on my phone and can see it better now, I don't see a "helmet" at all. I think the chin strap is what may have lead Dr Cosmic to think it was a helmet, unless I am missing something. But it doesn't much look like one to me.

Anyway, awesome manip.

Any idea when the Flash is going to air. Just caught the Arrow episode were Barry Allen becomes Flash at the end, thought it was well done.

They are shooting the pilot next month and if the network picks it up, it will premiere in Fall 2014. Maybe on the same night as the season premiere of Arrow S3.

It'd be cool if they have a metafiction episode where the Flash ends up in our Earth and finds out he's just a comic book character. (see The Flash - Fact or Fiction written by Cary Bates).

CW's Supernatural has done this and a spattering of other metafiction episodes (which are done really well and poke fun at the audience, the actors, and the writers), so I don't see it as being farfetched.

Awesome stuff, thanks.

I'd love this.

Rathaway still not cast yet.

Well if you look at all the comic book based live action superhero shows, consider their source material and over all quality, and consider what's the most that could be done at the time, The Flash TV show with John Wesley Ship is head and shoulders above any superhero show ever made. It was serious, they got the costume and powers right, the stories were good.... it was a very good rendition of a superhero as far as TV goes. I'd say Incredible Hulk follows as second, that show was awesome, and the characterizations were excellent in it, I loved Bill Bixby as Dr Banner, he is to this day my favorite to have played the role, and the show was before my time. After that I'd say the old Adventures of Superman show from the '50s with George Reeves would come in third, if you look at it objectively and consider what they could do at the time and look at that as tantamount to what they can do today it really is a pretty terrific adaptation as far as TV goes. And in 4rth place I'm putting yes, the Adam West Batman TV show. Yes it was hokey and campy and supposed to be that way but it helped Batman survive for a long time, and the camp really only comes through depending on the age of the viewer in a way, but minus the camp, look at how much the show got right in a way, and the show is also very consistent on the whole...that's how I look at it, and I find it very enjoyable in that regard and entertaining to watch on its own. While Batman: TAS remains my favorite version of Batman, I enjoy the Adam West show for what it was, and that is one of the best as far as superhero TV shows go, and I look at it as its own thing which is exactly what it tried to be in a sense.

Surely the Superboy tv series from the late 80's-early 90's must have a place somewhere here.

 

[Human Torch]

Yeah,Superboy is sorely underrated.But that's because not many have seen it due to the lawsuit drama.It's over now,thankfully.I just finished watching the 4th and final season DVD.t:

 

[Matt.S99]

I used to have one of the seasons on DVD. I have absolutely no clue where it is now. I remember really enjoying it.

 

[Gee]

Rathaway still not cast yet.

Where's JWS?

 

[Rorschach2012]

This is sounding so good. Introducing Thawne in episode 1 is a good call. Killer Frost and Pied Piper being in this are just added bonuses I can't wait to see who JWS plays

 

[Sawyer]

Where's JWS?

Not a series regular. Though, yes, it'd be cool if he was there too.

 

[Silver Surfer]

I gotta feeling that people turn on Barry/Iris in a way that will make Olicity fans look tame. The writers better go out of their way to make that couple work early and often.

 

[Sawyer]

They're not going to do Barry/Iris like they did Oliver/Laurel. Mainly because I doubt they'll practically make them adversaries from the get-go...

Episode 1: "You should've died on that island!"
Episode 2: "Oliver, you can't be here! This is MY place of work! I OWN THE COURTHOUSE, YOU CAN'T BE HERE!!!!"
Episode 3: "Yes, I had sex with your best friend. Oh, you're okay with it? WELL, WHO ASKED YOU TO BE?!? I DON'T NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!!!"

And so on.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Well Clark and Lana weren't adversaries and were much more hated than Ollie/Laurel. Sometimes if you try to force the "epic" pairing down the audience throat it causes a tidal wave of backlash.

Flash is also starting out with it's Felicity from the get go with Killer Frost, if she breakout with the audience than Barry/Iris is DOA.

Another female character automatically means she's this show's Felicity? That's one big ass assumption on your part.

And in regards to Clark/Lana, there was seven seasons worth of their bull**** compared to Ollie/Laurel's two, of course that audience hates them more.

Not making any assumptions, that's why I said IF she breaks out with the audience. Frost is this show's Felicity because she's the 3rd point outside of the show's "true" pairing.

People despised Clana way before it reached that long, by season 2 people were screaming for Chlark.

 

[Paradox1]

The love interest, and teenagers are the most hated aspect of nearly every show. I'm sure the writers already know this and are prepared for potential backlash.

 

[Human Torch]

I fully expect Barry not to end up with Iris.If CW has any track record,they'll handle the relationship **** poorly (they're already half way there-she's his foster sister?!?) introduce a better female lead,have the GA up in arms for refusing to cut bait 3 or 4 seasons earlier before giving in.
