The season premiere is less than a month away, and details about the upcoming season of The Flash are now trickling out regularly. Here are some links with recent news about the show and its characters, and you can also see our first look at the costumes for Hawkgirl and Hawkman. She’ll be a regular character in the upcoming series Legends of Tomorrow (which began filming this week, with Captain Cold and Heat Wave), and both will appear first in The Flash. See more behind the jump, including potential spoilers.
Two more Flash issues from the 1970s are available digitally this week.
Flash #200: “A foreign spy named Dr. Lu brainwashes Flash into believing hes taking hairspray to his wife when what hes really doing is attempting to assassinate the president.”
Flash #201: “The Flash feels guilty when he believes he’s responsible for paralyzing a young basketball star’s legs.” Also a Jay Garrick story, “Finale for a Fiddler!”

There’s only so far you can take a reset button without removing tension or basically creating a new show.
But as the summer has gone on, the storytelling logic feels less important, and I’ve looked at the characters’ actions from an in-universe perspective (spoilers ahead):
The CW has released a new teaser trailer for the first few episodes of The Flash‘s second season. It gives us our first good look at Jay Garrick (Teddy Sears) and Atom Smasher (Adam Copeland), as well as hints about alternate earths. One wonders how many we’ll be seeing over the course of the series.
