Hope and Despair – Review of Earth 2 #19
With Earth 2’s Superman under the control of Darkseid, is there any hope for Earth 2? Destruction is all around and the Wonders appear thoroughly defeated. But, the fight isn’t over yet – in fact, it may be just beginning in this issue of Earth 2.

This Week: Earth 2 Scribble, Digital Flash Honeymoon
I’m not sure how much Jay Garrick is involved these days, but the variant cover for Earth 2 #19 is quite Flashy.
In “The Dark Age”, Earth 2 is further torn apart as the Parademons of Apokolips arrive to usher in the next wave of terror. Earth 2 will soon be ready for Darkseid, unless Earth 2’s Dark Knight can find a way to stop evil Superman from turning Earth 2 into the New Apokolips! Has Terry Sloan left something behind that can be used against the invasion? What did Jimmy Olson see when he hacked Sloan’s personal files? EARTH 2 #19, written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Nicola Scott and Robson Rocha and Trevor Scott and Oclair Albert,
Additionally, DC Comics is releasing another digital backissue of the 1987 Flash series through ComiXology.
Flash #160 by Brian Augustyn and Scott Kolins features the long-delayed honeymoon of Wally and Linda West. The only problem is: everywhere they go, no matter how secret the plans, supervillains attack. What’s a newlywed super-couple to do?
Scribblenauts/Flash of Two Worlds Cover for Earth 2 #19

Flash TV/Movie Rumor Update: Script Review, Audition Tape
Superhero Movie News has what purports to be a detailed-spoiler-filled review of the leaked Flash movie script by Michael Green & Marc Guggenheim, based on a story by Guggenheim, Green and Greg Berlanti. It’s interesting, particularly where reviewer Michael J. Petty compares it to the Green Lantern movie script by the same team…and to elements that have already worked their way into Arrow.
Speaking of the Arrowverse, a video surfaced briefly, claiming to be an audition tape for the role of Iris West in the Flash TV show pilot before it was taken down.
MTV analyses the video and the script review in extensive detail. (TBH, I’ve only skimmed it myself so far.) You’ll want to read the whole article at MTV, but beware…there are SPOILERS galore (for a movie that may or may not ever be made in that form).
Two things to consider:
- Movie scripts go through many revisions before being produced, and the Flash film has been scrapped and restarted a number of times since it was announced nine years ago.
- Auditions sometimes use early drafts and sometimes use scripts that are specific to the audition, and not intended to be filmed for the final product.
