'The Flash' Extended Trailer

Get a five-minute look at the upcoming television show featuring Barry Allen as The Flash.

On last night's season finale of Arrow, a first look was shown for next season's The Flash. Now The CW has released a super-long five plus minute look at the show.

What did you think? The show is set to begin this Fall and is scheduled for Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m.

@madeinbangladesh:

Son of Batman was not mediocre it was pure garbage. War wasn't that bad though. Lets see how Throne of Atlantis and Arkham War turns out but if they suck like the last 2 then DC needs to step up in the one field they are actually really good at other then Arrow.

but how About Marvel? They don't have any good stuff going. There barely have any good animated movies in their history, and their cartoons has been trash after EMH got cancelled.

@thewalkingdeadpool18 i check most of the top ten lists every month, and both of them are pretty much even. DC destroys Marvel in animation, TV shows and games. Every movie has plot holes and most of the marvel movies are generic. I'm not an ignorant fanboy, you are.

Am I the only person here, who is absolutely not racist, who realizes that Wally, if he exists, is probably black?

If Iris is black does that not suggest her nephew will be? Instead of the funny, ginger haired guy?

Someone probably pointed this out now, but Wally is black now.

I do not see the appeal of a Flash series. Flash does not seem like the kind of character who can hold a TV series on his own. I would have much rather seen them try harder to make a Wonder Woman series or experiment with other DC characters who do not receive a lot of attention, but can lead a grounded series (cheap enough for TV).

Looks good. With this and Constantine, I'm pretty DC entertainment will be alright. Now if they can work on their animation

Unless your talking about the cartoons they are making from TV, DC's animation department is fine right now. If you are talking about their cartoons, then yes they really need to.

That's what I thought at first but then if you look at Iris, she looks white so maybe Wally is mixed? Cause he looked black in one panel, mixed in another kind of.

At any rate, I still don't think Wally currently will be nearly as popular as Barry is....

@comicace3 pfft currently yes Barry is, lol hell even Bart is faster then little twerp Wally currently...I don't like what they did to Wally looks like a punk now lol. Spray painting walls? really? lol

@flying_j87 said:

Sigh, Barry Allen, the blandest Flash that ever was. So "aw-shucks, golly-gee" that he makes silver age Superman seem deep and conflicted by comparison, no matter which era's Barry you pick. Brought back only because Morrison, Didio, and Johns can't stand to not have the incarnations of heroes they grew up with still around (also because they figured it would help sales). Seems to be the case here, only they're bringing in the Geoff Johns-special (retcon of parent dying a previously unheard of tragic death during the hero's childhood) to add pathos. Meh, this looks better than the Constantine preview (in that it's more focused and less dependent on bad CGI) but I'll keep my expectations low. Some bad cheesy moments still here. Kid Barry's "I wasn't fast enough," his mom's subsequent response, and Green Arrow giving him a pep talk being chief among them.

Well to be fair, Marvel has done that too with the Avenger movie preview Stark saying "If we can't save the Earth, we'll sure as hell avenge it" I mean lol you want cliche...or cheesy.

But I don't like a show or movie entirely on a few cliches(unless it's overdone like say Batman and Robin) lol

So it looks like there going to build up Eobard Thawne as the big bad baddie probably at the end of season 1. So stocked for this. I think its going to come after he tries to break the time barrier (flashpoint) to save his mom that the big reveal will happen.

@madeinbangladesh:

If you read the comments i talked about Marvel had bad animation

@captainmarvel4ever Honestly dude just shut up. You are not only one of the oddest people i've met you are the king of hypocrites. You go on these rants on how you love Marvel and DC then admit to never seeing their movies....and thinking their comics are too complicated even though you're the only on saying that....yet you love both? You also have a problem with live action what don't like real people? Want to live in cartoon land? You are literally scared crapless of the idea of a Captain Marvel movie. Non stop ranting on Arrow and Flash anything live action. Along with freaking out over a FREAKING NAME. You make such a big deal over Captain Marvels name like he was a big part of your childhood and his name means so much to you when you got into comics last year. He was Shazam as long as you knew him so you honestly have no right to freaking care about the damn name when it was his name as long as you knew him. How can you get attatched to a name he didn't have when you read him? You are just the most obnoxious hypocritical person i know.

BUT.

Anyone else getting a serious, "Here's the Batman/Superman relationship you're not going to get in the movie, deal with it." vibe from the Arrow/Barry relationship?

@thewalkingdeadpool18: I could address what you said, but really your only proving my point about being an obnoxious weirdo (plus I honestly didn't feel like reading another one of your pointless rants). In any case I don't know what your problem is, but if you keep bugging me I'm going to report you. If your willing to be nice and respectful, then that's great, and I hope we can get along.

Sorry, but this looks lame to me.

Extremely cheesy. Even for a trailer.

Some of the special effects were impressive, though.

I can already tell I'm going to have to add this to what was previously only two instances of liking Barry Allen. (For curious, it was New Frontier, where he's basically written as Wally West, and Young Justice, where his personality was spun as a great "straight man" for an ensemble.) Making him very, very young seems like the missing element, because it instantly washes away the "old white dude" stink of Silver Age. Seems obvious now, but who knew?

AHHH yess! Its been almost two decades now since the appearance of another Flash live action series. (Wishful thinking but hopefully one of the seasons will recreate Flashpoint since its established here that Thawne kills his mom.)

@the_stegman: either way. This show looks amazing. Contrasts with Arrow very well.

I hope they do it like they did for Buffy and Angel where they would air them on the same night back to back so we can watch the inevitable crossover episodes without having to wait.

It will be airing Tuesday nights at 8pm, so likely there won't be any immediate crossover episodes what with Arrow being WEDNESDAYS at 8pm. But It wouldn't be like waiting several days if they start a story in Flash and end it in Arrow (or at least continue it in Arrow)

but I have to work tuesday nights >_<

I loved Buffy and Angel airing like that..well, until they changed networks. But I have a feeling they will be crossing over at one point, at least I hope they do.

And you should get a DVR! It's what i do, I never watch shows when they air, I record them so I can fwd through commercials.

Or get HuluPlus. It, at the very least, has Arrow, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and probably will have Flash, Constantine, Gotham, and Agent Carter starting next year. And if you have access to a DVR, you probably have access to something like OnDemand which usually has all new episodes of shows the very next day.

1. That suit has to get an upgrade at some point. Looks very much like a "first costume," which is fine for now, but later it will not be.

2. Weather Wizard looks good, nice CGI, and NICE TO FINALLY SEE POWERS IN A COMIC SHOW

3. I wish Barry was older so they could introduce Wally/Barry as more of a father son type relationship. But oh well.

The scene in the trailer where Barry is talking to Green Arrow is from The Flash, not Arrow. When Barry appeared in Arrow, he didn't have his powers yet. The scene we see in the trailer where Barry get's struck by lightning was shown in Arrow though.
