I don't know, but it looks laughably bad...

Laughably bad? That's a term I'd use for Batman and Robin. I understand not everyone is gonna enjoy it. But really? Laughably bad?

 

[chamber-music]

That trailer is awesome. Was that Weather Wizard?

 

[Sterling Archer]

Some of the line deliveries seemed a little off and I didn't like Barry's VO, but this sort of stuff is the kind of thing that gets a lot better post-pilot.

 

[Broseph44]

It's also important to remember that all of this comes from the pilot episode and a lot of shows tend to get a lot better after the pilot.

^^ Exactly.

They'll probably read our feedback and adjust accordingly somewhat...hopefully...like they did with Arrow. Although this is already beginning much better than Arrow, IMO.

Plus most shows don't really hit their stride full on until about the 2nd season. Or the latter half of the first season, example would be AOS.

Man oh man I hope the special effects stay consistently as good as what we've just seen. The tornado showdown specifically looked great.

 

[Paradox1]

Awesome can't wait for this

 

[Intouch]

Spoiler

So John Wesley Shipp (the flash from the 90's) is barry's father?

& the reverse flash is the super vilain?

Yes professor zoom

We need some Gorilla Grodd in this show.

 

[Broseph44]

 

[Broseph44]

Oh mannnnnn can you imagine Grodd!

 

[MiffaLadd_]

I don't think there's a version of life in which I wasn't going to love the trailer, but it was v cool and I'm extremely happy that I am alive right now.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I was gone for a hour and they release a 5-minute trailer of pure awesome?!?! Wow, I don't know what to add that hasn't been said, it simply looks amazing. Love the "Lightning gave me abs" line.t:

It looks like they spent a bundle for the pilot going by the full trailer. Hopefully they can achieve the same quality for the regular series.

Agreed, I'm hoping for the same thing too.

 

[Sawyer]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That trailer might as well have been for a movie. It was glorious. I need it. I NEED IT NOW!!!

 

[Cybermaxis]

That trailer has me completely sold!

 

[Mikelus]

We need some Gorilla Grodd in this show.

No! They don't have the budget to do it right, even the CGI apes from the movies look fake sometimes... besides, is better to keep the show grounded like Arrow, talking gorillas could get silly quick.

That moment when you realize Weather Wizard is in the trailer:

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I must admit this looks pretty damn good. I'm impressed with Arrow as well, though I'm only 4 eps in.

Great FX too. Definitely a step above the usual CW fare.

 

[kguillou]

WOW! That was a great trailer. That is probably the best trailer I've seen for a TELEVISION SHOW! Wow, just excellent. As another poster said this seems very Raimi Spiderman-esque and that's a GOOD thing. Grant Gustin looks amazing, the action, the story, everything about this looks incredible. Bravo, DC and CW!

I'll probably watch it again later but was Wesley Shipp in the trailer? I don't think I saw him.

 

[Broseph44]

Movie apes look fake? Perhaps you should go watch Rise of the Planet of the Apes. and while you're at it watch the trailer for Dawn. Tell me those apes look fake haha.

I must admit this looks pretty damn good. I'm impressed with Arrow as well, though I'm only 4 eps in.

Great FX too. Definitely a step above the usual CW fare.

I'm excited for you to really get more into Arrow dude. Specifically the latter half of season 1 and all of season 2.

 

[Mr. Dent]

My only complaint about the trailer is that i feel like i watched the whole pilot in 5 minutes.

I've heard it's a slow burn at first but I've enjoyed it so far. Going to try and squeeze in a few more tonight.

I actually loved the first season. I didn't mind the slow burn/slower pace to start. But yeah once it picks up it just keeps on going.
