Is that The Flash? Why yes it is!

Here it is, our first look at Grant Gustin's head inside the Flash costume.  After his take on Barry Allen on Arrow, I am super stoked to see him in all his Flash glory when this series arrives.  

Hopefully, we'll get to see the full suit soon enough but for now this little glimpse will have to do.

I never thought i'd be excited for a CW show but there it is.

#Flash TV Series in the Running!

 

Flash: TFMA #12 (2007)

What started out as rumors this week turned into official news when CW announced a spin-off series from Arrow that will feature the fastest man alive, the Scarlet Speedster, FLASH!

“We plan to introduce the recurring character of Barry Allen who is the Flash,” [CW president Mark] Pedowitz told reporters. “We’re planning an origin story and we’ll see how it goes. We do want to expand on [the] DC Universe, and we felt this is a very organic way to get there.” - SpeedForce.org

For those of you that know the DC Universe well enough, Flash is one of those titular characters that hasn't really been treated the best in other mediums.  In the comic books, he's bad ass as hell, with a history that spans 70+ years.  But once you start talking about movies and TV shows, the Flash is the fastest in getting cancelled...  Take the 1990 series starring John Wesley Snipes (actually, it's Shipp); not even nostalgia can save that pile of death sharts!  But of course Smallville gets 10 SEASONS cause durpah durpah Superman!

I've been reading up on this story all week, and many are contemplating if the DCTVU will be in the DCCU (DC Cinema Universe).  Will films like Man of Steel and Man of 2teel be in the same continuity as Arrow and Flash?  Perhaps, though that's a huge task.  This forces ALL the writers to be on the same page, which may limit creativity and story elements...  They did it with Star Trek in the 80s though!

For more information on the Flash and his awesome Rogues gallery, travel over to Flash: Those Who Ride the Lightning.  And let us know in the comments section what your perfect DC movie/TV continuity would look like.

DC Comics Movie updates

Warner Bros. and DC Comics are finally going to be kicking their comic property movies into gear with an expected four films released over the next 3 years, including the next Batman movie. They've also announced a new Superman movie that will reboot the franchise much like the recent Incredible Hulk. I wonder how Bryan Singer feels about that.

Most notably is the apparent Axing of the Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League films. Warners has decided to go the Marvel route and release films with several characters and then release a Justice League film down the road. Projects are already in development for The Flash, Green Lantern (If they were smart they'd let Geoff Johns write this), Wonder Woman, and Green Arrow! Ask me, a Green Arrow/Black Canary movie would be awesome.

I'm curious as to what they do with Superman and who they put behind the camera.

More information is expected in the next month or so.
