The Flash The Flash General Discussion and Speculation Thread - - Part 11

How does 1990 Flash still look more awesome than any other Flash we've gotten, both in movies and tv?

 

[Thome216]

The Flash in one of the teasers does say how he is not going to allow 'him' to do what he did to his Earth to this one (either 1 or 38..?) I am assuming then that the Earth he is talking about is Earth 90, and certainly have no problem with all those heroes, in similar or altered garb, being from the same world. Which means than the Earth from the original Flash series is 90, and it is now destroyed!

After this they REALLY need to stop making the Legends travel time and travel the multiverse instead.

F Yes!!!

That sounds like a great idea since LOT season 4 has been meh so far.

We can't realistically expect them to create new costumes for every hero they wish to show as dead either; that's a lot of unnecessary work for the costume department. Costumes for Ollie, Kara and Thawne of Earth-X mirrored those of Earth-1/38, short of their insignias. It's more practical.

A lot of them could just have minor alterations to show the difference. Like making X-GA black costume, giving Kara pants instead of a skirt.

Probably because he looks most like what we're used to seeing in the comics and most media.

I haven't followed any of the CW shows in quite a long time, but I do really want to see John Wesley Shipp returning to his Flash suit in all its glory.

 

[Nicko-Ray]

They probably can't put their finger on it.

That’s what I’ve been wondering too!

It's ridiculous! I know they established that they can't put it back in the ring -- but still, why tease something so huge for the fans...something so iconic for S5 and drop it entirely? Here's hoping to a solution. Surprised Grant hasn't spoken out on it via social or something.

I think Elseworlds is gonna be pretty self contained so that people can just come in and watch it without been up to date.

Crisis on Infinite Earths goal was to merge the multiverse into one. Infinite Crisis was to recreate the multiverse.. Perhaps the goal of Elseworlds is to get the Arrowverse,Supergirlverse,Batwomanverse merged into one earth. they could still leave all the other infinite earths alone.. Just a thought-my apoligies if this has already been speculated

I think this would be too much for the CW shows. You can't suddenly throw aliens into Earth-1 to fight with Barry and Ollie, and you can't suddenly throw Kal & Kara into a world where they are the only aliens, at least not as far as the CW shows go, because the DEO exists to contain an alien threat (IIRC).

Supergirl, for better or worse, will always be from a different Earth. As much as Earth's may have been merged in the comics and what not, I highly doubt it'll ever happen within the CW DCU.

 

[gerrym51]

In the Crisis on Infinite Earths series -they were merged and most people just knew their earth was always like this. Only a few heroes remembered or noticed the change.Barry is usually the only one who notices times line changes The Flash changes the timeline several times now and to the people in it it just seems normal. By merging the earths of supergirl,arrow ,and Batwoman it makes it easier to do stories for all these DC shows that film in Vancouver.

They're all filmed in the same place anyway, or close enough (unless I am very much mistaken). Having them all on the same Earth would only serve a purpose for more crossover episodes, but even now, it's very rare that we'll see Barry on Arrow, or Ollie on Flash. It's kinda' a shame that Batwoman will be another Earth-1 character, because Supergirl is the only show on her own Earth at the minute. I kinda' hope, if/when it happens, that Black Lightening takes place on Earth-38. Least Supergirl wouldn't be so isolated then, though I guess they'd have to explain the lack of aliens roaming around the neighbourhood.

They suddenly threw in meta humans with no problem, aliens would be no different. Same with magic. Arrow ignores the outside world anyway.

Metas already exist within the Arrowverse (Earth-1), predominantly since the particle accelerator explosion. Magic is known only to a few. Aliens would be known worldwide and, short of the Dominators, haven't once been referenced.

You can't suddenly start showing aliens living in National and Star City.

Yeah I don’t see the issue. I think it would be fine if they’re all in the same universe

 

[gerrym51]

If the goal of this monitor-there have been different versions-is to find an earth powerful enough to fight an even greater threat-again the comics have had some different monitor storyline-it seems to me if flash/green arrow need Supergirl/superman and Batwomanbatman-then the ending of this 3 episode arc would be the actual merging of their universes into one earth that can fight this greater threat.the other earths can still be left intact for future shows

There were no meta humans in Arrow until Barry showed up. Same with magic. And when they did introduce both, Star City didn't have metas/magic every which way just like they wouldn't have aliens living there. Just because they exist in the world doesnt mean every city would be populated with them. National City would still be the place to be for Aliens.

 

[gerrym51]

another question-does anyone know what Lois Lane is holding in that new elseworlds poster.? It's sort of shaped like a hammer
