(TV Show) The Flash

I have seen the full pilot. It was pretty good but I don't think I'll watch the show.

 

I'm in. Haven't started Arrow yet but nice to see they are tying in. How long before a Justice league TV series?

 

Looks decent. I've loved Arrow. Not sure how this show will do with super powers.

 

Holy Crap! That actually looks really good. The special effects are way better than in Arrow!

I think WB would be silly not to incorporate both these guys into their Justice League series. They'd have two established and popular characters involved with the establish Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman from the next MoS movie.

 

I always wonder how they will humanize their hyperpowered people.
Flash is ridiculously powerful . . . .. so it will be interesting to see
if they have to bring more and more powerful people in
him against any normal human will be rather boring

It's got potential; they pulled off Arrow reasonably well. Not a huge fan that they milked the personal tragedy backstory again. I don't think having a parent die is in the usual Flash backstory.

With the introduction of super-powered people it looks like its a cross between Smallville and Arrow. Makes more sense in the smallville universe.

 

The mother's death usually is a part of Barry Allen's origins. It's actually really interesting, I'm super stoked they're using the "ball of lightning" murder angle, that only means one thing for the future of this series: time travel!!

 

I'll watch.

 

They should do a show like this for Superman.

 

*chuckle*
they did. . . it was called Smallville

Spoiler

In the end he runs really fast, just the other way.

 

I dunno about this being in the Arrow universe, thats really the only problem I have.

Aside from the Mirakuru injected, all of the characters on Arrow are just well trained, no superpowers. It works, one of the reasons Superman is consistently so lame is because of his powers, you have to come up with ridiculous plot devices as to why he can't just solve every problem immediately.

Flash is very much superpowered, hope they don't have that problem, but I expect they will. I'll certainly watch though.

 

Interesting............

 

Nice green lantern reference in that trailer.

 

I hate CW shows, too melodramatic ... I swear every show is the same.

 

Good show for its demographic...

 

I think they address this in the trailer the OP provided. The same thing that happened to Flash, happened to a lot of people, giving them powers. (like the weather dude).

Which leads me to...

This trailer looks exactly like early Smallville seasons - CK trying to discover who is really is, while fighting the villain-of-the-week.

They better get creative with what the Flash can do, though. Supes had heat vision, x-ray vision, gusty breath, super strength - all that in addition to being able to run really fast.

If the OP's trailer showcased one of the more creative things to do with the Flash (running opposite a tornado?), then I fear for this show. It may not be able to hold its audience week in, week out.

 

Eh, it's from the creators of Arrow, so that problem shouldn't exist. They use the villain-of-the-week model every now and then but always have the wheels rotating towards the super-villain of the season, setting up awesome events on the way.

 

It looks worthwhile, and I think Warner is finally doing something smart and not depending on feature films (mixed track record) when they have something going with TV after Smallville and now Arrow.
