On the run from a police task force assigned to take him out, The Flash must face the CCPD’s newest deputies: The Rogues. As you can tell from the cover, it does not go particularly well.
There seems to be one or two new Flash posters every week. I’m posting this one instead of the one with apparent spoilers for an upcoming episode.
You can see the one-page comic preview for next week’s episode of The Flash at the CW’s official Flash blog.
TVLine has some details about the upcoming Flash/Arrow crossover episodes, such as who will and won’t be in it, and a few hints about what may happen.
And CBR reports that Grant Gustin has said there’ll be a trip to Earth-2 in store for some members of Team Flash. Additionally, Jesse L. Martin hints about Joe’s counterpart.
This week’s episode will feature the return of a popular villain! Who’s looking forward to it?
Flashfans.org has the still images from next week’s episode of The Flash, titled “Gorilla Warfare”. The episode features the return of a familiar suit.
The official synopses for the Flash/Arrow crossover episodes are hidden behind the jump. They naturally contain significant spoilers, so use your judgment if you want to read them.
Here’s the extended trailer for next week’s episode of The Flash, titled “Gorilla Warfare”. I think we can all guess who will be in it.
And here’s our first glimpse at the upcoming Flash/Arrow crossover episode; the Flash half will apparently air on December 1st (I’d assume the Arrow episode will then be December 2nd. Neither date has been officially confirmed, I believe). The episodes will introduce us to Hawkgirl and Hawkman!
Are you looking forward to seeing the Hawks and more Grodd? Let us know your thoughts!
What’s my motivation? It’s an old stereotyped question any method actor will supposedly ask when preparing for a scene. But, it applies here in a different way – put better as “Why am I doing this?” It fits when talking about why Barry is moving so quickly to fight Zoom. Linda Park may well ask that question at one particular point in this episode (don’t worry, we’ll get to that). And, the entire Flash team wants to know just why Wells is doing…whatever he’s doing as well. All this and more in “Enter Zoom”, Episode 6 of Season 2 of THE FLASH!
SOME SPOILERS AHEAD
Here’s the one-page comic preview for this week’s episode of The Flash, titled “Enter Zoom”. And just below you’ll find a clip from the episode, featuring a battle between Barry and Doctor Light. Based on the trailer, it seems like they may be trying to get Zoom’s attention.

Meanwhile, CBR reports that this season’s crossover of The Flash and Arrow will be a true two-parter, as opposed to the slightly-related standalone episodes we had last year. Which is a good and a bad thing, as I’d wanted a real crossover last season, but people who watch one show but not the other may be annoyed. On the other hand it may get people to start watching both series, which would be a plus for The CW.
Looking forward to this week’s episode, and the first meeting of Barry and Zoom? Let us know what you think!
