The Flash The Flash General Discussion and Speculation Thread

Dude...that trailer was awesome. I was legitimately impressed by the quality of the effects.

I thought it said the trailer revealed who John Wesley Shipp was playing. Did I just miss him in the trailer?

Same yo

He's Barry's dad

 

[Brian Braddock]

Yup, definitely looks better quality than 99.9% of other TV stuff. Looks quite cinematic at times. Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to this than most actual movies?

 

[Rorschach2012]

The trailer was legitimately amazing. Not amazing for tv. Just amazing in general.

Barry's father. You see him in a framed photo with young Barry and his mom and later when his mom is being attacked by Zoom.

Which I wish they had just come out and said in the first damn place, instead of making me think he'd be Jay Garrick.

 

[Iceman]

Excellent trailer. This Flash looks too good for a TV show!

 

[Lord Valumart]

It'd be so damn cool for him to be Jay, but it's nice that he's Barry's dad.

 

[Karelia]

Still, it's pretty awesome they brought JWS into the series. It shows some respect, in a way, as well.

I can't wait for this fall, man. The trailer is fantastic, although it does feel like I saw a lot of the episode already. The effects are just mind-blowing for a TV series.

Seeing Arrow/Flash talking/team up is going to be too cool, yo.

He's Barry's dad

From playing Barry to portraying his dad, and this time a doctor, not a cop
It's even more fun knowing he voiced Professor Zoom in the Brave & the Bold
And they kept a similar story with a lab, like father like son

 

[Nathan]

Does anyone else think that there might have been someone else there on the night his mother got killed? I just wonder why Zoom would make such a fuzz, run around the house, or transport Barry several blocks away. There was actually a lot of red in the room. Not just simply red sparks, like Barry's yellow lightning sparks when runs.

I think it'd be a nice surprise to find out that either a Future Wally or a Future Barry were there, making sure Zoom wouldn't kill kid Barry, but he couldn't prevent his mother's murder.

 

[webhead9707]

If Flash does well, and it seems that it will, do you guys think they'll start another show? Build an entire Superhero lineup? That would be pretty awesome.

 

[Nathan]

I actually hope they'll get Young Justice off the ground. But when it comes to other Leaguers, I don't how which one would work. The one I'd want to see, would be Green Lantern. But he simply wouldn't work on a TV budget.

[blackout]If Barry was there, it could mean they'd make Flashpoint in this show, something I don't want to see happen
The red is probably the red in Zoom's costume, he can't kill Barry, because if not for Barry becoming the Flash he wouldn't have motivation to try and become a Flash himself[/blackout]

 

[Onslaught-]

If this show does Flashpoint and infinite crisis, what will the movies?

I'm hoping for Young Justice, provided they don't drag it down too much with relationship drama, I find it bad enough in Arrow, and no doubt it will be in The Flash with Iris.

But yeah, Young Justice/Titans with Dick, Wally, Donna, Garth and Roy. Then introduce, Starfire, Beast Boy and Raven.

Any of the other dozens of stories they've produced every year for the last 75 years?

 

[Crimz]

I'm excited! I feel like a Japanese schoolgirl.

 

[Lighthouse]

The only thing I didn't like about that trailer is that Flash's two STAR labs sidekicks look genuinely awful. They were awful in Arrow, and they look awful here.

 

[Nathan]

They are definitely no Diggle and Felicity. Those two I instantly liked.

 

[Lighthouse]

And they aren't even half of Dr. Tina McGee.

That would be cool. Batman would probably work on a TV budget, but obviously I doubt they would want to do that. Green Lantern probably wouldn't work, but at the same time, special effects aren't as expensive as they used to be. Look at what FreddieW is accomplishing on Youtube. If they get smart about it, Green Lantern could be a possibility. Other more realistic options would be a Nightwing TV show, (Which would be fantastic, and he's rumored to appear on the show next season) maybe even Jonah Hex? He's not Justice League but it would fit the supernatural aspect that CW seems to love.

I'm hoping for Young Justice, provided they don't drag it down too much with relationship drama, I find it bad enough in Arrow, and no doubt it will be in The Flash with Iris.

I would love a live action Teen Titans, that would be awesome. AND SLADE COULD APPEAR ON IT HOLY CRAP.

Yeah agreed.

Danielle Panabaker is actually a good actress, but the guy playing Vibe is iffy. we need to see more of him but he wasn't good on Arrow.

 

[Crimz]

I think Iris will be good, not liking the guy who plays vibe so far.
