Arrow The Barry Allen/The Flash Thread

[roach]

Oh that kinda settles it then. I'm fine with that. I can see them introducing Hal Jordan and Dick Grayson if the embargo is lifted

WB just got a new CEO so who knows what old policies got thrown out the window.

First of all this is the hero of the series so his suit will have the most money spent on it. Super speed is not that hard to do on television. Go look at The Flash TV series or Smallville, Heroes

Johns reiterated that the Justice League member will be seen as The Flash -- complete with his trademark red costume and not a poor imitation. Added Kreisberg: "No sweat suits or strange code names; he will be The Flash."
Producers haven't yet figured out how they plan to depict the Flash's lightning speed but Johns insisted it won't just be the standard "blurring around."
"It's not what people expect," Kreisberg said. "We want to do something fresh, new and exciting and give people a real cinematic experience the same way we did with Arrow

This is what a kid can do playing around with his camera and computer. Who knows what an actual SPFX wizard could do with a budget.

 

[roach]

THATS MY POINT...the flash FX on smallville was not like a multi-million dollar film. it was horrible lol.

and spfx technology has come a long way since Smallville

 

[DrRocket]

Yeah, I kinda excited now to see how they will depict the flash speed. Here's hoping for
Something cool, since the budget on arrow has increased.

I don't know why you guys think they are going to give FLASH some awesome custom. look at all the villians they have had on the show...NONE of them really good ex DEATHSTROKE and his wasn't like a multi million dollar film custom would be. you all need to calm down this custom is not going to be as cool and official looking like a movie version. and the effects are not going to be no where near faora's in man of steel...that was a 180+ million dollar movie so please don't think flash FX will be any good. ONLY AS GOOD AS A PUBLIC TV SHOW COULD BE.

Haha what? is Arrow moving to PBS?

According to Stephen Amell, the budget is the same this season.

 

[DrRocket]

^ yeah I just found that out today. Looked so much better than last season so I thought they had increased the budget.

I genuinely don't care about this. If he's going to have superpowers I really would rather they just leave him to his own show. Arrow has enough going on right now without the Flash.

pretty cool for a TV show.

 

[HighFivingMF]

I genuinely don't care about this.

Alright.

 

[Sawyer]

I genuinely don't care about this. If he's going to have superpowers I really would rather they just leave him to his own show. Arrow has enough going on right now without the Flash.

So you don't want him involved in Arrow?

That's a care, bro.

 

[DrRocket]

When they announced that Barry would appear I was slightly concerned, because I liked the whole no powers things but ill admit ever since then I've gotten a lot more excited.

 

[Herolee10]

The question is though, what will happen to the rest of the world once Barry gets his powers? Once he has those powers, you'd think it'd be a game changer within the world of Arrow since a person (as far as we've seen) will now possess abilities far beyond an normal human being.

I mean, unless Barry is forced to go back to Central City for awhile, I can't see on how Barry having powers wouldn't tip the scale in Starling City's favor when it comes to getting rid of a lot of the criminals there.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Haha what? is Arrow moving to PBS?

No but The Flash spinoff has been confirmed to premiere on PBS

[Sawyer]

They've made it sound like his first two (out of three) appearances will be pre-superpowers and then the third will be the pilot, essentially, so I assume he'll only be in Starling as The Flash for a short while, then move on to Central City.

The article is gone, and there are no other related articles is this a joke

This was linked in Grant Gustin's twitter: http://www.justjaredjr.com/2013/11/01/grant-gustin-felicity-flash-scenes-are-flirty/

Apparently Barry and Felicity will have some flirty scenes together. I wonder if that will make Oliver notice Felicity a bit more if she's getting some attention from someone else.

 

[Sawyer]

Uggggggggggggghh. Why can't a guy and girl just be friends? Why does there have to be an underlying ship?

 

[DrRocket]

Uggggggggggggghh. Why can't a guy and girl just be friends? Why does there have to be an underlying ship?

Don't worry, I don't think they are going to become a thing after all Barry is in only 3 episodes and felicity is here to stay.

 

[Sawyer]

No, I'm talking about Oliver and Felicity. They've already got the friendship. I'm fine with Felicity/Barry.

 

[DrRocket]

^ oh my bad. Well if its felicity and Barry that means she will leave this show and that's a big no no, way to popular to leave. I'm fine with Ollie/felicity and or Ollie/sara

 

[CaptainAwesome]

I think it's funny that Ollie banging every female he comes in contact with is in keeping with his character and not an invention of the show/CW.

 

[SpideyFan866]

Uggggggggggggghh. Why can't a guy and girl just be friends? Why does there have to be an underlying ship?

Because Smallville ruined that.

 

[king666]

Uggggggggggggghh. Why can't a guy and girl just be friends? Why does there have to be an underlying ship?

Yeah, I feel you bro. I hate the Olicity thing, it's gonna ruin the chemistry between the characters.
