Casting choices? Preferred versions? Characterization preferences? Powers or weapons? (Ha!)
 
Preferably Captain Cold with his cold gun but I have a feeling they'll give him ice powers instead.

Might be cool if in a twist of events Cold's gun somehow creates Killer Frost as fist Ice-power-meta of this universe...

Or Cold becomes a meta later on like in the N52 because he's jealous of KF? (a season2 kind of thing assuming they introduce him in S1 without powers)

I'd actually like that lineup that we see there except with Heat Wave swapped out for either Captain Boomerang or Pied Piper.

Boomerang would be an excellent character to modernize since he's, at his core, a weapon specialist. It's just that his weapons of choice are incredibly uncommon. That would give him a certain uniqueness as an enemy and wouldn't be difficult to remove the campiness from. Batman used Batarangs once or twice in the Nolan films. I didn't see an issue there.

Plus, he could tie into Arrow's Suicide Squad at some point to continue the feeling of a connected universe. When he leaves the Rogues to join the Squad, Piper could come take his place if he isn't in the Rogues to begin with.

Piper has a really cool backstory and origin in my opinion which makes him a prime candidate for a villain on this show. On the Rogues he would add a little more uniqueness to the powersets already seen in the team in the picture. I haven't kept up on his New 52 representation, but he'll probably be altered from whatever comic version they use as a basis.
 
I'm pretty sure Pied Piper is supposed to be a main character in the show. But isn't in the pilot probably.

And in the New 52 he's currently reformed, but was at one point a Rogue, he left before they got powers. He's also dating Singh.
 
Captain Cold
Mirror Master
Weather Wizard
Captain Boomerang
Pied Piper
Trickster

One thing I don't really get is why they made Weather Wizard Clyde and not Mark?

Clyde didn't really do anything of note in the comics from what I can tell. He didn't even get powers. Why did they intentionally swap that around I wonder? Would it really be game breaking to name this character Mark and follow his story as Weather Wizard? Hopefully they've got a good explanation for this.

I think Mark is going to follow after Clyde.
 
Clyde was the one who originally developed the tech, wasn't he?
 
Well, Professor Zoom is already cast (and teased in the trailer). Weather Wizard is confirmed (don't recognize the actor). The show might pull and Arrow and make Killer Frost a member of Flash's rogue's gallery (like Arrow did with Deathstroke). I also want to see Captain Cold, The Trickster, and Mirror Master.
 
We mustn't forget Captain Boomerang. :o:up:
 
Oh, did I forget to list him? Sorry about that.
 
Thus far-

Leonard Snart/Captain Cold - Wentworth Miller
Digger Harkness/Captain Boomerang - Nick Tarabay
Mick Rory/Heatwave - Dominic Purcell
Hartley Rathaway/Pied Piper - Andy Mientus
Lisa Snart/Golden Glider - Peyton List
James Jesse/The Trickster - Mark Hamill
Axel Walker/The Trickster - Devon Graye
Mark Mardon/Weather Wizard - Liam McIntyre

Sam Scudder/Mirror Master - ???
Roscoe Dillon/The Top - ???

Girder's dead. Not sure if they'll use Abra Kadabra or Blacksmith's Rogues.

They've done a great job with their rogue casting thus far. Dustin is next from Spartacus.
 
I'm thinking they may use Turbine instead of Top, as I don't believe Top has appeared in the New 52. Turbine is similar in abilities but is a more serious and tragic version of the character; he also is black so they may use him to play up the diversity angle that seems to be popular lately.

It seems like the Rogues aspect of the show is being handled by Johns while the Reverse-Flash stuff and main storylines are Kreisberg's charge. With Berlanti overseeing all of it. And I have no doubt Johns is going to use his favorite villain, especially The Top. The climax of his Wally West Flash run was based on Roscoe.
 
One villain I really want to see is Dr. Amar A.K.A Murmur. He is a really menacing Flash villain, IMO.
 
I really like the redesign they gave Weather Wizard in New 52. Hopefully they do something along those lines in the show.
