Justice League Hot Wheels Cars
I think this is the full set of Justice League Hot Wheels cars, unless there’s a sixth I can’t remember. It’s pretty easy to tell which one represents Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, and Green Lantern.
The set was among my son’s Christmas haul this year, and for once I found them all in one spot and decided to arrange them. I like the way the fins are used to suggest the Flash’s earpieces and Superman’s cape, and the transparency on Wonder Woman’s car calling back to her invisible jet. It’s also interesting to compare the approaches taken here to the “We Can Be Heroes” Kia cars.

New Allies – Review of EARTH 2 #20
Not all hope is lost yet…there are new friends, new allies…and some welcome sights. Still, how do you fight a Superman who has gone so completely over to Darkseid? That’s where we pick up in this latest issue of EARTH 2!
LIGHT SPOILERS ONLY
This Week: Rogues Revolution TPB, Justice League: War, Impulse Conclusion
There are several Flash releases this week, including:
Flash vol.2: Rogues Revolution TP
Written by FRANCIS MANAPUL and BRIAN BUCCELLATO
Art by FRANCIS MANAPUL, SCOTT KOLINS, MARCUS TO, MARCIO TAKARA and others
Cover by FRANCIS MANAPUL
The Rogues Gallery is united for the first time in The New 52 in this title collecting issues #0, 9-12 and THE FLASH ANNUAL #1! Who is behind their sudden organization, and why are they after their Captain Cold?
The hardcover was released last summer.
In digital re-releases, we have:
Impulse #89
Written by Todd Dezago
Art by Carlo Barberi and Terry Austin
Bart Allen and his friend Carol return from the future, and the hyperactive speedster learns the truth about what happened to Max Mercury. It’s Impulse and Jay Garrick vs. Rival in a final showdown.
That’s the last issue of Impulse, which means you can now read the entire series digitally at ComiXology or on DC’s portal. There are still a few related issues left: Two annuals, a short-form OGN (“Impulse: Bart Saves the Universe”), and two team-up one-shots. But the primary series is all online now.
And finally, Flash is one of the stars in the new animated movie, Justice League: War, adapted from the first arc in the New 52 Justice League series, “Origin,” by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee. The feature launches a new shared DC Animated Universe with a planned three titles each year, alternating between Batman and the Justice League.
An alien attack threatening cataclysmic worldwide devastation brings together the world’s greatest super heroes – for the first time – in Justice League: War.
When the powerful Darkseid and his massive, relentless forces invade Earth, a group of previously unaligned super heroes – misunderstood and, in some cases, hunted by the authorities – discover the only way to fend off the attack will be to work together as a cohesive unit. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Shazam! and, in his origin story, Cyborg combine their respective talents in an all-out battle to save the planet.
Christopher Gorham voices Barry Allen, the Flash.
More FLASH TV Casting: VIBE (Updated) – Also: Piper Confirmed
Yes, you read that correctly. Hot on the heels of the news that Candice Patton will play Iris West in the upcoming Flash TV pilot, Deadline announces that Carlos Valdes will play Cisco Ramon, “a mechanical engineering genius and the youngest member of the team of scientists at STAR Labs” (maybe working with Caitlin Snow?) — or, as New 52 comic book readers know him, Vibe. TVLine notes that he is currently performing in the Broadway play, Once.
This brings the known cast up to six: Valdes and Patton join Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, Jesse L. Martin as Detective West, Rick Cosnet as Detective Eddie Thawne (probably the Reverse Flash in disguise), and Danielle Panabaker as scientist Caitlin Snow (probably the future Killer Frost).
Update: THR has more info on the character:
Valdes will play the series regular role of Cisco Ramon, a mechanical engineering genius and the youngest member of the team of scientists at STAR Labs. Born into a lower-income family, Cisco’s brains and talent helped him reach his potential. He is loyal and eager and provides the comic relief in contrast to his stiff co-workers. Best part: He is as much of a comic book fanboy as Barry.
THR also confirms that Hartley Rathaway, aka the Pied Piper, will appear as a regular character on the show. He and Harrison Wells (not a character from the comics as far as I can recall, but STAR Labs’ CEO) are the last two “regular roles” remaining to be cast.
Candice Patton cast as IRIS WEST in Flash TV Pilot
Deadline reports that Candice Patton has been cast in the key role of Iris West in the Flash TV show pilot. In the comics, reporter Iris West was Barry Allen’s girlfriend, then wife throughout the Silver Age of comics. She’ll begin the TV show as Barry’s “fast-talking, quick-witted best friend.”
Patton joins Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, Jesse L. Martin as her father Detective West, Rick Cosnet as Detective Eddie Thawne (probably the Reverse Flash in disguise), and Danielle Panabaker as scientist Caitlin Snow (probably the future Killer Frost).
