Robbie Amell Cast as Firestorm in 'The Flash' TV Series

Great! TV seems to be DC's niche.

So will he be the physical half of Firestorm or the "voice in head" half this time?

Nice!

why does she have to wear something skimpy?

Guess that square jaw and high cheekbones run in the family :P

Hopefully Captain Cold and Mirror Master are going to be casted.

Pretty cool. I wonder if he and Felicity will interact at all.

Yeah, I'm hoping it's the Raymond/Stein Firestorm too. I love the classic Fury of Firestorm, & it's so fondly remembered. All the other Firestorm incarnations have been failures, because they didn't have the great "odd couple" dynamic of the Raymond/Stein merger. It's what made Firestorm so unique, interesting & fun in the first place.

I like the actor but I always pictured Raymond scruffier.

When will Aquaman get live-action justice?

I think they should stop cramming these shows with too many characters. Let the Flash develop on his own.

Ugh, this guys sucks! Unlike Stephen, he has no redeeming qualities in acting or presence. And, speaking of Stephen, what are they going to do when Arrow and Firestorm meet?? The actors are cousins in real life and they look just alike lol

as long as they dont do the whole shirtless promo pics then Im okay with it.

At this rate by the time DCCU become fully established the CW-DCU would out grew them.

@johnny_spam:

I was think about the same, maybe Felicity starts dating a much older man , who turns out to be his father.

I wish Stephen Amell shot a scene like this!

where's the other African American guy

@allstarsuperman: hey if there both in costume it will be harder to see the resemblance. I mean how often do you expect crossovers ?

Awesome,finally firestrom and flash are getting their proepr due ,just like constantine as well!!,october 7th hurry up,maybe they'll even bring in jason rusch and maybe a mention of the quantum field even

@justthatkid: Did you even read the article or just the title? The black one is Jason Rusch. This article particularly says he will be playing Ronnie Raymond.

It'd be pretty cool if they also cast Rusch and Stein. They all ready have Vibe and now Firestorm! This new Vibe, who first appeared in the New 52 Justice League of America series was recruited into that team by Amanda Waller to take down Flash. So I guess that's why he's a character in this Flash show. But apparently Paco, is also short for Francisco.

Firestorm use to be awesome, all versions until they started having all three in their comics

hope this starts a revival of one Firestorm don't care which, just no Killer Frost as his main villain, way too obvious.

Niceeeeeeeeeee

@farkam: I like the Momoa casting. Momoa is a badass mofo and that is something Aquaman needs to erase his stigma.

Plus, given he is Hawaiian, I think it would feel more natural to audiences to see him play Aquaman rather than a blonde haired white dude lol.

@kasino: All three of what?

True.

Yes. Cousin.

This is gonna be just like...mancrush hour on CW... #notcomplaining

@cobramorph: nice

Still blows my mind that this happened, this is the reason I'm watching the Flash.
