***BEWARE OF ANY POTENTIAL SPOILERS FROM ARROW!!!***

So in case some of you may or may not be aware...The Flash is looking to get back onto the small screen!

Played by Grant Gustin. The show is set to start production on its Pilot next week!! And we already have our first look at the character in costume!!!

There's a bigger version here if you wish to view in more detail!

Hopefully, the Pilot will impress people and the show will get a full series order sometime between May and July (look out for some comic-con footage hopefully!!). Which means it should kick off around about Sept/Oct 2014!!!

I could not be more excited about this!!!

I'm not an expert on super heroes but I was told that in Arrow, the lad who was in a building when lightning struck turns into The Flash !

Why do you think this show is being made?

It's the same dude!

Smallville started off very slow for like 3 seasons maybe more but got better, some episodes were epic like Young Justice among others but there was a lot of guff as well.

I must admit I hold a small hope that one day they will make a grown up version, maybe called Metropolis, bit like Louis and Clark but not so camp and more Superman!...

Going back to this though, could be good.

It's spelled LOIS!! What is wrong with people??

Also, they have and are doing a grown up version. It's called Man Of Steel with the sequel set to be released in 2016.

Seriously tho, with Smallville. It had the opportunity to become Metropolis (there was even a poster revealed at Comic-Con in 2008 I believe). But they kept stalling and stalling in making him become Superman that by the time season 7 was done, it all went downhill (apart from season 9 which I found to be awesome!).

But I don't think we will see a TV version for at least another 10yrs. Or maybe longer.

Oops, that's was a typo CK not a misspelling!

Don't get me wrong CK I was a fan of Smallville and was very sad to see it go.

Ah no worries

Yeah Smallville will be missed. But to be honest, Arrow along with The Flash, Gotham and Constantine will all be front and centre now!

Speaking of...Gotham will be on Mondays on FOX. The Flash will be on Tuesdays on The CW. Arrow on Wednesdays on The CW. Potentially iZombie will be on Thursdays on The CW and Constantine will be on Fridays on NBC. Potential 5 nights of DC Comics shows!!

Didn't they say no super powers in Arrow's world?

Guess you didn't get the memo after season 1 ended.

CK61938 · 25 Jun 2014 at 20:23

About to watch the Pilot myself. Didn't think it would get leaked. But glad it has!

Oh I will be reviewing The Flash (will wait til Oct tho to review the pilot) along with Arrow, Gotham and Constantine. Being the massive DC Comics fan that I am.

And yeah even more pleased with the air dates as well.

Really enjoyed watching that pilot just now! And yeah it has the hallmarkings of Smallville. But let's hope it doesn't suck after season 3.

Ah yeah nice Constantine looks cool, looking forward to the zombie show too, forgot the name though.

I quite enjoyed smallville a lot more after season 6/7. I really enjoyed when there were a bunch of superheroes rather than just one. And it got a whole lot better with lana left. Though I never really got into comics too much.

iZombie. That's due to start probably around January 2015, I believe. Will be checking that one out too.

Really enjoyed it and looking forward to seeing how the ending unfolds.

Zoom anyone?

Eddie Thawne. The blond police officer is based off Eobard Thawne aka Professor Zoom/Reverse Flash. So there's that.

They've cast Robbie Amell (Arrow's real life cousin) from The Tomorrow people in at least one episode as Firestorm http://www.tvrage.com/news/10358/firestorm-to-appear-on-the-flash

This fills me with epic glee!! I cannot wait to see the crossover with his cousin, Stephen. That will be awesome!!

CK61938 · 21 Jul 2014 at 15:01

And by "two-hour" they mean that you will see one side on The Flash on Tuesday night and the other side on Arrow the night after.

CK61938 · 22 Aug 2014 at 14:58

UK fans will be pleased to know that The Flash will be airing in the UK on Sky 1 HD. No actual air date as yet. But if it follows the same path of Arrow. Then it will likely start 2-3 weeks after the US.

no one given this a watch then

How do you mean? Some of us have seen the Pilot already. The show doesn't officially start til Oct 7th in the US. So that's kinda what we're waiting for.

CK61938 · 7 Oct 2014 at 14:59

TONIGHT's THE NIGHT!!! Who else is watching the Pilot? It will be a bit different to the one that was leaked and there's an extra 3mins of footage added!! Much excite!!

CK61938 · 8 Oct 2014 at 08:19

For those who saw this for the firs time last night/this morning. What did we all think?

CK61938 · 8 Oct 2014 at 12:04

No notable changes. I was hoping there would be. But it's the same. The only extra they added was the preview for next week's episode. Which looks slick!!

CK61938 · 8 Oct 2014 at 12:04

Also to add The Flash will be airing on Sky 1 from Tuesday Oct 28th at 8pm!

Episode 8 of both The Flash and Arrow is a 2 hour crossover so pretty soon. They're planning on eventually doing their own Justice league thing with the shows so i imagine there will be plenty.

The same guy behind this and Arrow has just started on a Supergirl series too, dunno if it'll get crossovers though as CBS got that one.

CBS is owned by Warners, who also own The CW. So there is a chance of a crossover of all 3.

CK61938 · 15 Oct 2014 at 14:29

Last night's episode is based on The Flash New 52 comic book issues 3, 4 and 5. Which I thought was really cool!

The episode was damn good! I love the effects! Better than I expected them to be.
