Flash TV News

TV Line and ComicBookMovie.com have some news and goodies for fans interested in the Flash TV series. Firstly, there’s further confirmation that we will indeed see the Pied Piper, who’s described thusly by TV Line:

“In addition to the likes of Captains Cold and Boomerang, at midseason we will also meet Hartley, a onetime mentee of Dr. Wells’ who lost his hearing in an accident and now is out to wreak havoc with an invention of his own. (Of course, you may know Hartley — who happens to be gay — as the Pied Piper.)”

Apparently there’s been no actor cast yet, and the episode he’ll debut in is still unknown. But it should be interesting to see him on television, particularly because he’s scarcely appeared in any media adaptations until now (just cameos in Justice League Unlimited and The Flashpoint Paradox). Tying him to Harrison Wells is a good way to introduce him to the series and its cast.

As a bonus, here are a few set photos of Barry and Oliver Queen from the crossover Flash–Arrow episode.

So what do you think? Are you excited to see the first adaptation of Piper as a major character?
