New Trailer For “Rogue Air”

The CW has now released a full-minute trailer for next week’s episode of The Flash, and it’s chock full of new scenes and spoilers (so you’ll have to decide if you want to watch it). It’ll be the second-last episode of the season.

What do you think? I’m looking forward to it!

“Legends of Tomorrow” Officially Picked Up

The new CW series which spins out of The Flash and Arrow will apparently be titled “Legends of Tomorrow” and has been officially ordered by the network despite not yet having a pilot episode. It will have the same showrunners as its parent shows, and will include Flash characters Captain Cold and Heat Wave (and Martin Stein) amongst the characters. The Hollywood Reporter has more details.

The series’ formal logline:

“When heroes alone are not enough … the world needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat — one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known?”

I’m cautiously optimistic about this, and definitely want to see more Cold and Heat Wave. So I’m looking forward to it right now. How about everyone else?

This Week in Flash Comics: Convergence Speed Force, Digital Flash Annuals of the 1980s, Season Zero

A new chapter in Flash Season Zero featuring King Shark and the Suicide Squad came out on Monday.

Tuesday of course saw “Grodd Lives” on the TV show.

Today, the conclusion of the two-part Convergence: Speed Force is out. Pre-Rebirth Wally West and the twins — plus the Zoo Crew’s Fastback — face off against Flashpoint’s Wonder Woman. Gamma Squad has a preview of the issue.

DC has finally gotten back to adding Flash comics to the digital backlist. This week they’ve added the 1987 and 1988 Flash Annual #1 and Annual #2 from Wally West’s series. The first places Wally in a Kung Fu style adventure where he must learn to control the “death touch.” The second has him dealing with his father, recently outed as a Manhunter agent, as he takes on a shady job as a private detective. (Plus: Wally wears a Devo T-shirt, if that’s the sort of thing you find interesting.)

Convergence: Speed Force #2

“Rogue Air” Promo

Here’s the thirty-second trailer for next week’s episode of The Flash, titled “Rogue Air”. As you may expect, the promo’s quite spoilery. It’ll be the second-last episode of the season, so I imagine a lot will be happening.

And just for fun, here’s a poor-quality copy of the Canadian (CTV) promo. It’s fairly different. CTV trailers are always available on their site, but apparently people outside Canada can’t view them.

Flashfans.org has a deleted scene from this week’s episode, which finally answers the question of how the prisoners are fed on the Pipeline.
