'The Flash' Extended Trailer

@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.

Bring on Gorilla Grodd!

Seems like they basically revealed the entire episode, and his acting seems a bit cheesey but other than that it looks good.

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?

SO much nerdgasm!!

I'll check it out but I'm still a bit skeptic

OH MY F$#%& GOD!!!! That looks Awesome!! OK need a minute to process, we'll be seeing this every week..... Makes me a lil nostalgic about Smallville and so far im loving the tone.

Basically my level of excitement.

Wow. I wasn't crazy about the costume and it led me to worry about other things but holy mother does this look good. I wonder if Iris is the black girl. Did anyone catch a name of the guy in the wheel chair? I think it'd be pretty sweet if his name was Max.

Because black people cannot be funny

The show looks great. The costume could be a little more red and less brown but other than that I'm with this so far.

Wow, those effects are fantastic!!! Easily some of the best on TV right now. But god, that acting and writing… it's so bad… gaahhh. So much teen drama and angst, it hurts. I want to love this but… "The lightning bolt chose you."? I mean really, the writing in Arrow is better than this, and that's no Emmy nomination-worthy writing. And the deliver of the lines is cringe worthy… "Run, Barry, run!" I wanted to die right there.

The West family is supposed to be black. Yea, Iris is the black girl. She's pretty.

I'm very excited for this show.

So freaking amazing.

I was hoping they wouldn't go the New 52 route. Oh well. Still looks fantastic and my DVR will be ready.

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)

I wish the suit was more red & not so brown. Almost rather they made it blue & white & based it on MaxMercury's costume.

Why does the bolt have a second zag to it?

Now just introduce Starfire & Raven.

So freakin good.

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.

@the_stegman: I do. I always watch them like that as well.

But I can't come and talk about it on comicvine until the morning lol

I didn't expect much from this TV Show because it is by the creator of Arrow and that ain't a show that I am a fan of. I mean I expected this to be the same CW superhero bs we have been seeing so far in Arrow as well but this looks like a big improvement. I am actually pretty excited for this and can 't wait to see the first episode.

As far as pilot trailers go this isn't too bad looks like it's built off of 2 episodes instead of one. Love that you can see it's an asethtic cousin to Arrow but a bit brighter and more sci-fi from the get go.

Calling it right now the guy in the wheel chair is Reverse Flash though they did already cast a character with the last name Thawne.

his character is named Harrison Wells.

We now have arrow and flash on the same network I don't see how they can avoid throwing gl in there somewhere even if its a cameo. Who's flash buddy? Gl, who's arrows buddy? Gl I'd watch a gl spinoff. Js.

@fallschirmjager: for a second I read that as HArrison Wheels....that'd be an awesome bad name.

I can't see how they'd ever do it to be honest. There's zero way they have a budget to do a proper green lantern live-action tv show. Not to mention they're even taking a very grounded approach to Flash with heavy on the science part. Its not going to be easy to do that with GL.

It looks pretty neat. Nothind mind blowing. The scenes where he is running EXTRAORDINARILY fast, yet his arms are moving EXTRAORDINARILY regular look pretty bad though.

@longbowhunter said:

I love this costume. Its a brilliant blend of Artie the Strongest Man in the World and Mark Mothersbaugh.

For even making a Pete & Pete reference, you win the Internet, sir!

Damn. That's actually pretty good.

After the great season finale for the Arrow, I was excited to see this show. I didn't even need this amazing trailer to convince me but the hype is on.

The speed effects looks the same as Smallville. I hope we get to see better speed effects in this though. It also took a hint from Smallville when creating metahuman villains. Smallville-Meteor Shower Flash-Particle Excelarator Lighting Storm

They gave away episode one, which is kind off annoying and the bit about lightning giving him abs was silly but other than that I'm looking forward to it.

Looks great!

I think I just had a Nerdgasam.... Can someone pass me a paper towel?

Awesome ! i Can't wait to see this.

This was incredible. I had chills for most of it. That was one hell of a trailer.

John Wesley Shipp role revealed: Barry's father

Liking this a lot. The look, the tone, and the effects are actually impressive. I have to catch up on Arrow, and then bring it on!

@marcosvergara14: Thanks man! Nice catch, I didn't see that at all. I think that is a pretty good role for him

My body is ready

If the guy controlling the weather is suppose to be Weather WIzard, his name should be Marco Mardon.

@nightwing_beyond: As Artie would say, "Pipe"!

How is it sillier than lightning giving him superpowers?

Its not impossible, maybe the affects won't be very good but we mostly care about the team up and character interaction, maybe we could see GL in the 2nd or 3rd season.

Either you're a DC fanboy or there's something with you. Or both.

This looks great. I'm excited.

Nah, it's just that I like tv more than film, tuning in week after week to see something great makes me all happy. Plus, these are new ideas and characters I really like (Flash is tied with Spider-Man as my favorite hero) plus, Constantine has so much potential and Gotham, while it's the one that excites me the least, could show us characters that haven't been seen in Batman live action work yet (or portrayed well, that horrible Poison Ivy from Batman & Robin). Marvel's cinematic universe, while groundbreaking, is getting a bit old fo rme now. I liked Avengers, I LOVED Iron man and Winter Soldier..but everything else has been meh. I'm exicted for Avengers 2, but all other projects, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant Man, etc, eh, I don't really care about them.

I'll take a bunch of new tv ideas over a bunch of Marvel sequels anyday, hell, Daredevil's Netflix series has me more excited than Guardians of the Galaxy.

Ok. I've seen the short trailer of Green Arrow and Flash. It looked good. But when I saw this, I don't know if this show can flash forward. We know that Professor Zoom a.k.a. Reverse Flash killed his mother. That just spoils the mystery. They shouldn't have shown Reverse Flash killing his mother.

The scene shouldn't have been like this.

Barry hears a thundering sound, wakes up, goes downstairs to find that his mother lied on the floor, dead. His father bent down towards her, crying, with his hands covered in blood. The police gets called in and arrest his dad. But dad says he didn't kill her.

Any takers?

Or neither.
