Flash TV Tidbits

As we prepare for the season finale this Tuesday, there are a few bits of Flash news here and there. Firstly, some promotional material from the finale, in the form of the official one-page comic and some official episode stills.

And the CW has released a general promo video for their various DC superhero shows (Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl), which isn’t particularly spoilery.

Finally, ComicBook.com spoke to Grant Gustin about Season 3 of The Flash, in which Gustin says Barry won’t lose his optimism despite all the tribulations he’s recently endured. Please be advised that the article contains major spoilers for last week’s episode of the series.

Looking forward to the finale this week? Or are you already thinking ahead to Season 3? What do you hope to see in both?

Four-Way CW Crossover Coming in December

The CW has announced a mega-crossover between The Flash, Arrow, Legends Of Tomorrow, and Supergirl in December. There are no details about the story or schedule yet (it’s obviously a long way away), but it should be fun and will expand the CW’s DC universe. It’d be nice if they could bring back John Constantine again too, although that might be a little trickier given its cancellation and rights belonging to a different network.

Newsarama reports that the CW will be airing Supergirl in the Monday 8-9 PM timeslot, so fortunately nothing changes schedule-wise for that show.

Are you intrigued by the crossover? What would you like to see in it?

HOLY CRAP! That’s not how I usually start a review, but if you aren’t saying something similar after THIS episode of THE FLASH, I don’t know what show you are watching. This is the penultimate episode of Season 2, and I cannot think of a better way to absolutely guarantee you will be there for the finale than what happens this week. There are so many things to say…after the jump!

SPOILERS AHEAD…YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
