Here’s the teaser which was shown at the DC TV panel tonight at San Diego Comic Con. Most of it shows highlights from the first season of The Flash. But at the end are voiceovers and some text which hint to things we’ll be seeing in Season Two.
What do you think? Who’s ready for Season Two?
The DC TV panel was on Saturday night at San Diego Comic Con, and there are some juicy tidbits and detail confirmations. Spoilers behind the jump.
Announced at SDCC on Friday: Geoff Johns is writing a set of one-shots tying into Darkseid War, “Justice League: Gods and Men” with a cover or promo image by past Flash writer/artist Francis Manapul. In Justice League: Gods and Men: The Flash, “The Flash takes on the role of death’s harbinger, the Black Racer. And the beneficiary of his first visit is Aquaman!” Update: It turns out Geoff Johns isn’t actually writing these after all. Update: The series is now called Justice League: Darkseid War, and the issue will be out November 5.
Wait…Geoff Johns is turning Barry Allen into the super-speed avatar of death for an issue of a special series? Didn’t I read this a few years back? Continue reading
Sometimes Comic-Con is a time for major announcements about a comic, and sometimes it’s a time for the writers to remind us of what’s in the plug for the next issue and answer fan questions. That seems to be the case for the Flash comic book this year, as the Venditti/Jensen/Booth/Rapmund team is solidly in the middle of their run, having just started a new story featuring the Reverse Flash.
They did give us a few hints at the “Justice for All” panel, as reported by CBR, but it’s all stuff we already knew or could guess:
“The Flash” is returning to the mystery at the heart of Barry Allen — the death of his mother — with the incoming issue #42. “As Barry deals with the truth of what happened to his mother and tries to get his father out of prison…we’re also seeing Professor Zoom who really doesn’t like the Flash and has some awful, awful plans for him that will play out over the next several issues,” Jensen said. And as this battle rages, the Barry’s father escapes prison with a team of supervillains including Girder.
Incoming is “The Flash Annual” #4 which will tell the secret origin of Zoom and reveal something new about Barry’s powers which has never been seen before.
CW has released a new video for “Legends of Tomorrow” showing the throughline from the comic book sources to the TV versions, especially “Arrow” and “Flash.” I don’t think I caught any new live action footage, but it was interesting to see them draw the connections.
San Diego Comic Con is in full swing, and Friday featured a DC television panel which confirmed that a major comics character will be appearing in season two of The Flash. Spoilers behind the jump.
