Any thoughts on that weird body Could on saw? My first thought was it could be Coulson's body, implying he is a clone or LMD.

Meanwhile in Canada, some blurry on-set Flash-in-costume photos are coming in. Blur puns unintentional.

And one that's a bit more clear.

Heck, one more for the road. Doesn't look quite as spandexy and skintight as in the promo shot, but I'm digging it either way.


Aiight gently caress all those, here are some HQ ones

Well I'll grant that he looks more like the character than a whole lot of other comics-related casting recently, including those from shows I actually like!

But then again, looking like Constantine's the easy part. Now comes the hard part. :ohdear:

Here's the "Gotham" trailer.

Pretty much what you'd expect. Looks pretty, though.

update: Full two-minutes extended trailer.

From a technical standpoint, I can see them maintain a pretty good effects standard if they can really nail down the "make Flash go fast" process to a functional workflow.

Probably won't see tornadoes in every episode, more's the pity.

The one thing I am concerned about -- and this is seriously just the one thing because I liked everything else -- is the whole Iris relationship. It just seems ripe for a retread of the whole wangsty CWness that plagued Arrow's first season. Like, did they seriously put her with Barry's potential nemesis? Really? And the whole "promise you won't tell Iris your secret" thing with her dad? Holy poo poo, I know this is a comic book story and god bless it for that, but let's not go overboard with these overdone beats.

I think you're right, but what reason would Thawn/Zoom/Reverse Flash/whatever have for moving young Barry a couple blocks over and leaving him when his objective is (presumably) to kill him?
Post-Crisis Zoom (so the one that fought Wally, not Barry) would've done it so that surviving the tragedy makes Barry a better hero. That was his shtick, more or less.

Original flavor Reverse-Flash would've done it just to be a dick. Why kill the hero when you can make him hurt instead?

Constantine pilot was pretty decent. Certainly better than a lot of other stuff that tries to hop on this kind of bandwagon. But I still felt like some of the beats were a bit forced, like they're trying to get you to feel these great tragic moments deep in your soul without having really earned those moments.

I still think the lead actress is pretty dire...but on the other hand Matt Ryan is selling the hell out of this guy.

Oh I really liked the Constantine film, but this was before I had any notion or conception of the Hellblazer comic. Even today I kind of enjoy it as a sort of alternate reality Constantine. Certainly it was a better adaptation than some other comic book characters have gone through.

Geez. Well I did complain about that actress, but I sure didn't expect them to pull such a drastic move at this point.

They're gonna have to reshoot nearly the entire thing. The whole plot was about Liv.

Oh, I thought the point was to flat-out scrap the character and redo her role in the plot with the Zed character instead. Do we think they'll actually keep Liv's story as is, and then just move on without her into episode 2?

I don't even think it sounds particularly like Gambit other than the fact that you could make a pun on the "wild card" thing. Gambit isn't some masterful escape artist, nor is he all that big on the whole "personal gain" thing. He's more of a thrillseeker and daredevil (...heh) instead of a mercenary.

It would be a crime of Smallville-esque proportions if they don't have a musical episode of the Flash by, like, the end of the first season.

I don't know if Wells is impatient for killing Stagg. I got the impression that he knows for a fact that Stagg will do something really bad in the future and this is Wells simply taking preemptive measures against it. From a certain perspective, he may well have waited a long time for just the right moment to kill Stagg. (The public is aware that there were multiple hit men going after him, and Barry at least knows Stagg probably brought it on himself, so someone killing the guy doesn't raise any suspicions at this precise moment in time)

Reports are saying that Supergirl will be named Kara Danvers. I wonder if that's a hit at Marvel
Nah (or, possibly nah), the Silver Age Supergirl's secret identity was Linda Danvers. Nowadays the "Linda Danvers" moniker is still a little bit caught up in Peter David's (totally awesome) earth-born angel incarnation of Supergirl from the 90s, so it's not too strange that they just call her Kara Danvers for the show.

edit: oh yeah, to clarify, Supergirl's Kryptonian name is Kara Zor-El, which is what she mostly goes by in the comics nowadays. So Kara Danvers is a mix.

That was a while back though. I mean, it was...so bad, but it was a while back. :shobon:

Arrow this season really has been sitting on its laurels (:haw:). While a lot of individual moments are great, nothing has altogether coalesced into a good story. The most interesting ongoing plot is probably Laurel's slow build training with Ted Grant, but even that's been marred by a lot of choppy, by-the-numbers writing.

It truly is a wintery day in hell that I'm dissing Arrow while defending AoS, and yet here we are.

Considering Supergirl isn't even cast yet and Vixen already has artwork for the cartoon, probably Vixen. Casting a VA is going to be a billion times easier than casting Supergirl, especially if you considering Vixen was already in some cartoons (Young Justice? Something else?) and they can reuse one of those if they are feeling particularly lazy.
(They probably wouldn't do this, but) If they plan on having a live-action version of her appear on the live-action shows at some point, it may be cool if they just hired the VA based on who they eventually want to see in the shows.

(It may also be a terrible idea because good live-action actors are not guaranteed to be good VAs in any way shape or form, but hey)

It's one thing to not know news or trailers or random clickbait rumors, but to not be aware that they were doing a new film at all is bit much. The whole thing about a black Johnny Storm was pretty much everywhere when it first got announced.

Well, Smallville had a black Pete Ross and the hellscape abomination that was David E. Kelley's Wonder Woman TV pilot had a black Etta Candy. Switching the races of secondary side characters, the ones that play second fiddle to the big heroes, is not utterly groundbreaking at this point; what's more significant is to cast people of color as leading main characters.

That said, I do agree that this casting, and what they did with Iris on the Flash, are steps in the right direction since they're evidently supposed to be seen as the romantic leads.
