DC Comics has released a preview of Earth 2 #19, including the Scribblenauts variant cover…one which should look very familiar to Flash fans:
It’s an homage to the classic Flash #123 cover, featuring Barry Allen and Jay Garrick…but this time it’s their New 52 versions as seen through the Scribblenauts style.
Superhero Movie News has what purports to be a detailed-spoiler-filled review of the leaked Flash movie script by Michael Green & Marc Guggenheim, based on a story by Guggenheim, Green and Greg Berlanti. It’s interesting, particularly where reviewer Michael J. Petty compares it to the Green Lantern movie script by the same team…and to elements that have already worked their way into Arrow.
Speaking of the Arrowverse, a video surfaced briefly, claiming to be an audition tape for the role of Iris West in the Flash TV show pilot before it was taken down.
MTV analyses the video and the script review in extensive detail. (TBH, I’ve only skimmed it myself so far.) You’ll want to read the whole article at MTV, but beware…there are SPOILERS galore (for a movie that may or may not ever be made in that form).
Two things to consider:
As hinted at in our review of the issue, Teen Titans #26 reveals at last the New 52 origin of Kid Flash, a.k.a. Bart Allen.
Stop reading now if you don’t want to find out.

We are finally getting to the story that has eluded us for over two years – the real story behind the New 52 Kid Flash. We’ll try to not be too spoilerish here, but this is a significant issue in every sense of the word. We can finally see what has been driving Bart all this time, and what has been hidden till now…even from himself!
LIGHT SPOILERS ONLY
Christos Gage has noted in interviews that he is a long-time Flash fan, having grown up with Barry Allen. His one-shot issue shows how well he knows Barry, both old and new (52), and gives us a wonderful story to take into the new year.

Comics are out a day early this week to avoid New Year’s Day, including The Flash #26, a done-in-one story by Christos Gage and Neil Googe. You can read a preview of the issue at DC Comics’ blog.
Barry Allen is hot on the tail of Spitfire after investigating the death of his mentor, Dr. Carlson. But to catch the villain responsible, The Flash must figure out how to use his powers in the one place where they do him little good: the sky! Spitfire is sure to escape unless The Flash can go airborne! A special standalone issue, THE FLASH #26, written by Christos N. Gage and illustrated by Neil Googe, will be available in stores on December 31.
Update: I forgot to include Teen Titans #26, featuring the continuing exploration of the New 52 Kid Flash’s origin.
Digital re-releases continue for Impulse on ComiXology. Impulse #85 was already up, having been released as part of the “World Without Young Justice” crossover. Bedlam, the genie from World Without Grownups, has been forcing Bart’s “time scouts” to alter history. But his spells are all aimed at blocking Impulse…not at Kid Flash!
Today, DC releases Impulse #86. Bart Allen has gained the powers of a genie, and sets about creating the perfect world! But do we really want a reality designed by someone with the attention span of a fruit fly? Todd Dezago and Carlo Barberi.
