The Flash The Flash General Discussion and Speculation Thread - Part 1

[Paradox1]

Is this foreal?!

 

[Sawyer]

Either that's an old picture or it's a leftover from Smallville.

 

[JC00]

I don't think so. Think someone is having a laugh. Same exact trailer they used for Smallville.

They might be using it as a production equipment trailer. I believe that Smallville use to use it to transport stuff around.

Episode 4 Titled "Going Rogue"

 

[The Caped Knight]

That's from SMALLVILLE!

RE: the truck: I think it's a red herring. Not only do I doubt they'd use that name over LexCorp (the more obvious choice), but I have a hard time believing they'd use the exact same logo from SV. Time will tell, but for now, I'm skeptical.

 

[Tv's Phil]

Idk if you guys saw it but in an interview yesterday I believe, Geoff Johns said all the Easter eggs in The Flash are meaningful or significant.

I doubt the truck is an easter egg or that it will even appear on the show. It's probably just transporting production equipment - if it was actually going to be used, it wouldn't be on the state it is, with letters peeling off and all.

production trucks don't advertise the production they belong to...especially not on a TV show

 

[king666]

The Flash crew uses the luthorcorp truck to transport equipment. It's not an easter egg.
(saw it on an Instagram account)

I wonder if they are pulling a Buffy with Felicity ? Since she will show up in Episode 4 of The Flash. Maybe Oliver tells her that Barry stopped by & Felicity gets pissed off that he did not go & see her. So she finds an excuse to head out & complain to Barry. Thats what happened in Angel at least lol

Looking forward to the series, however one thing I hate upfront is that it seems they're using the particle accelerator explosion to be the origin for all the villains. Very lazy writing for me, like the Kryptonite in Smallville... and I hated that plot point too!

Not all the villains, maybe all the rogues and Gorrilla Grodd. However it is the source of all the meta humans good and bad.

Yeah, I don't like it either. But they'll probably stop using it at some point.

 

[Sawyer]

I can almost guarantee that the fallout from the Particle Accelerator will be to the first season what the list was to the first season of Arrow. Eventually we'll exapand beyond that.

I, for one, hope that Captain Cold is technology-based on the show, rather than being given metahuman abilities.

AJ Kreisberg posted this on twitter:

Metamorpho?

 

[flash13]

Yeah. I'd like to see the cold guns rather than Snart having powers.

Episode 4 Titled "Going Rogue"

I hope this doesn't mean what I think it means... I want the Rogues to be a slow developing thing. They shouldn't ban together until the mid-season finale at the absolute earliest. Ideally, they shouldn't begin a united front against Flash until Season 2. Though all of the Rogues should appear at some point in the first season and have a meaningful role in the plot.

Wishlist: Captian Cold, the REAL Weather Wizard (Mark), Mirror Master, Captain Boomerang, Trickster, and Golden Glider inspired by her New 52 self.

Producer Andrew Kreisberg Talks ARROW, THE FLASH, the Crossover Episodes, How the Two Shows Differ From One Another, and More

 

[Herolee10]

Even though Arrow was the show that started it all for the DC-TV universe, would anyone here get offended if they end up portraying Flash/Barry as the better hero who can/will make a bigger difference than Oliver?

With Oliver telling Barry that he can be "better" than he ever was, I wonder if that was setting the stage for showing that Barry will end up becoming the bigger hero.

 

[batdude]

I think that's just in the sense that Barry has powers and Oliver doesn't. Oliver is more Batman style and Barry's powers will let him tackle bigger threats. Oliver would get clobbered by Grodd for instance.

But Berlanti and Kreisberg added that, in addition to Singh, another gay character will be introduced in the first half of Season 1 of "The Flash" -- a man who already exists in the DC universe (I tried to get them to name the character, but they didn't take the bait).

Pied Piper.

Well, Flash is a bigger hero than Green Arrow in general, both in real life and the DC Universe. So it's very likely.

No doubt can't wait to see how that storyline develops
