Flashpoint Movie Update: New Script, Now With Added Wonder Woman

CBR reports that Joby Harold’s Flashpoint movie script is done. They’re still looking for a new director, after Rick Famuyiwa’s exit last November.

One interesting thing I don’t recall noticing before: According to CBR, both Cyborg and Wonder Woman will appear in the film. Cyborg had been previously attached, but Wonder Woman’s a more recent addition, reported last month in Forbes, which also indicates that Flashpoint is scheduled for 2020.

The original Flashpoint comic book featured the entire Earth-based DCU, with a Themiscyra/Atlantis war threatening to engulf the world. No word yet on Aquaman, but it seems likely at this point that he’ll be involved. And the core story was a team-up between Flash/Barry Allen and Batman/Thomas Wayne…

First Look At This Season’s CW Crossover

First off, a note that much of what’s in this post is very spoilery, particularly for The Flash and Arrow.

The CW has released an official teaser image for the upcoming season’s mega crossover, and it’s a doozy. It seemingly features a wedding between Barry and Iris, a conflict with another Earth we’ve never seen before, the introduction of The Ray, the return of Captain Cold (wearing his comicsverse visor, no less), and of course a massive team-up between a lot of different shows. We’ll be seeing the heroes’ evil doppelgangers of Earth-X, and this image also tells us a few of the people who survived the explosion in the season finale of Arrow.

The image is apparently by well-known comics artist Phil Jimenez. He brings an appropriately comic book aesthetic to the piece, which is fitting and nice to see.

The Ray will be starring in his own CW Seed series, but I didn’t expect him to be crossing over in live action too. He’ll be played in live action and voiced in the animated series by Russell Tovey.

So this is a lot to take in, and seems pretty epic! Who’s looking forward to the crossover, and what do you find most (or least) intriguing about it? Share your thoughts here.

A Glimpse of Barry’s Lab in the Justice League Film

Warner Brothers has given us a peek at Barry’s lab in the Justice League film, and it perhaps tells us a bit about him. He obviously has a scientific and technical background, as he’s presumably able to understand what he’s looking at on those screens, and can split his attention or take in a lot information so he isn’t overwhelmed by all the data around him. And he’s obviously studying his powers and/or is working to build a better suit for himself, as was hinted in an earlier teaser when Bruce Wayne speaks to him about it.

Plus he admires Nikola Tesla and watches Rick and Morty while he works, which makes him something of a typical nerd of this era.

We’ve seen the lab before in some of the teasers and trailers, but I believe this is the first high-quality still image we’ve had a chance to look at. So it’s interesting and possibly illuminating for his character in the DC movieverse.

What do people think of his lab, and do you think it seems fitting for Barry Allen? Share your thoughts!

The fourth season of The Flash TV series begins a month from now (October 10th), and the CW has just released a new thirty-second teaser for the first episode or two. The promo is titled “Hero Reborn”, and is about Barry’s return to reality after spending an unknown amount of time in the Speed Force.

What do you think of the clip? Are you looking forward to the upcoming season and a non-speedster Big Bad? Share your thoughts of what you’d like to see!
