And TVLine talked to some of the show’s cast about Barry’s developing relationship with Patty Spivot, as well as Patty’s interactions with the other characters. It sounds like she’ll be thoroughly integrated into the series.

Are you looking forward to seeing how Earth-2 Wells interacts with the crew at STAR Labs? What do you hope to see?

Flashes in the Top 7

Flash selfieEvery few years, Comics Should Be Good polls its readers for their favorite DC and Marvel characters and ranks the top 50 from each of the two publishers. This year, two Flashes came in the top 10:

Barry Allen at #7
Wally West at #6

This is the third time CSBG has run this poll, and it’s interesting to see how the various Flashes have fared. Jay Garrick and Bart Allen have both been pushed out of the running since 2011, but Barry Allen and Wally West are still both in the top 10. And while Wally is still ahead of Barry in the poll, they’re a lot closer than they were last time.

Character 2007 2011 2015
Jay Garrick (Flash) #41 #45
Bart Allen (Impulse/Kid Flash) #42 #36
Barry Allen (Flash) #29 #9 #7
Wally West (Flash/Kid Flash) #3 #6 #6

2007 was kind of an odd year: Barry Allen had been dead for 20 years, and Wally West had been the main Flash for most of that time until he was shuffled offstage in Infinite Crisis. That was 2006, and DC replaced Wally with a prematurely-aged Bart Allen. Then in 2007, they killed Bart and brought Wally back. The poll hit in the middle of all this. Feelings among Wally’s fans at the time were…intense, pushing him up to the #3 spot, right behind Superman and Batman. Barry, meanwhile, lacked visibility, explaining his much lower ranking that year.

Flashfans.org has official still images from the episode.

 

Just to warn people, there are major spoilers swirling around online about this episode due to the Australian teaser clip. You might want to be careful about what you look at if you’re keen to avoid them. (I specifically decided to avoid the teaser when I heard it revealed something major, but somebody on the net spoiled it for me anyway.)

The Collider has a surprisingly candid interview with showrunner Andrew Kreisberg and Danielle Panabaker, and it actually contains a few major spoilers. Perhaps most of note to readers here is what they say about Wally West, but there’s also discussion of the most recent episode and things which will appear in episodes to come.

Are you looking forward to the debut of Wally? Let us know in the comments!
