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.
As reported by Cartermatt.com, the CW has released a teaser synopsis for the first episode of The Flash‘s second season.
Following the defeat of Barry Allen’s arch-nemesis Eobard Thawne (aka Reverse Flash), Team Flash quickly turned their attention to the singularity swirling high above Central City, which fans last saw consuming everything in its path. Armed with the heart of a hero and the ability to move at super speeds, Barry charged into the eye of the singularity, but will he actually be able to save his city from impending doom?
The singularity will obviously play into the second season of the show in some way, and it’ll be interesting to find out how. We’ll have to wait until the season debuts on October 6th to find out what’s going to happen.
There are also a few new details about upcoming mid-season spin-off show Legends of Tomorrow. Entertainment Weekly suggests things might not go so smoothly for Captain Cold, Heat Wave, and their colleagues.
“They’re screwups,” Klemmer says. “Instead of tiptoeing through history, they’re plodding through it, leaving their footprints and fingerprints and constantly having to wonder whether they’re going to screw the future up rather than fix it… It’s going to be total madness.”
The link also has a look at some art for the series, which includes the Flash. Maybe he’ll be hanging around more often than we’d thought.
Are you looking forward to Season Two of The Flash? How about Legends of Tomorrow?
The CW has announced the fall premiere dates for their 2015 TV season. Flash, Arrow and iZombie will all keep the same time slots as last season, with Flash and iZombie premiering on Tuesday October 6, and Arrow premiering on Wednesday, October 7.
No word yet on a launch date for the Arrow/Flash spinoff Legends of Tomorrow, but as a mid-season show, that’s not terribly surprising.
Out of curiosity, who else here watched iZombie? I enjoyed it a lot, even though it’s really different from the comic, and I’m very happy to see it coming back next year.
So we all heard recently that there was a casting call for “Wendy” and “John Clark“. Cue the rumour mill, as amateur sleuths hunt for details about their identities. Possible spoilers behind the jump.
Season DVD/Blu-Ray sets for both The Flash and Arrow were announced today. As reported by CBR, both series’ sets will be released on September 22nd and contain all 23 episodes. Blu-Ray sets for both series will be priced at $60.10, while the DVD sets will cost $59.98.
The Flash Season One’s bonus content (on both DVD and Blu-Ray) includes:
* The Fastest Man Alive!
* Creating the Blur
* The Chemistry of Emily and Grant Screen Test
* Behind the Story: The Trickster Returns!
*DC Comics Night at Comic-Con 2014 Presenting Gotham, The Flash, Constantine and Arrow
*Audio Commentary
* Deleted Scenes
* Gag Reel
I’m looking forward to this, particularly the gag reel and the featurette about the Trickster. How about you guys?
TVLine has new information about some upcoming casting for The Flash show. Yesterday they reported about the casting call for ‘Wendy’, and today they announced a casting call for ‘John Clark’.
Arrow is seeking an Iris West type… No, just kidding. (Too soon?) The Flash, however – in addition to Wendy – is casting the season-long role of a classically handsome, square-jawed hero in his 30s to early 40s, a slightly cynical man “with an edge.” The casting call lists the character as “John Clark,” which is obviously fake/a nod to the DC Comics letterer. Though I must wonder if one of Clark’s works hints at the character being introduced…
Some people are already speculating that this may be Jay Garrick, and I think that’s distinctly possible. With the cameo of Jay’s helmet in the season finale, he’s an obvious inclusion for the series (he’s not a character I’d like to see appear “with an edge”, but there could be a good reason for it). Or maybe it’s someone else entirely, of course.
IGN spoke with Wentworth Miller (Captain Cold) and Dominic Purcell (Heat Wave) about their roles in the upcoming show Legends of Tomorrow. The thirteen-episode series will feature them alongside heroes like White Canary (Caity Lotz), the Atom (Brandon Routh) and others, and they’re obviously different from the more more conventional heroes. In this interview, the duo speak about their characters and potential role in the series.
Which character would you like ‘John Clark’ to be?
