BIB - depends which Kid Flash
they retconned that as well so Wally stopped being faster than light and dropped him back down to being faster than sound during the Crisis on Infinite Earths series. They gave him a mystery illness they never explained then later on said it was because he was a child when he got the chemical/struck by lightning combo to give him his powers.Then they retconned it again and had it be a mental block that he was deliberately not being as fast as Barry used to be when he took over as The Flash and had Eobard Thawne go up against him which forced him past the blockage and he became faster. He couldn't ever vibrate though but had other different powers than Barry. I wonder if Jessie will be a Speedster too (though at this point, it probably depends on which Wally West we're meeting, and from which timeline he is from.Quote:
Artemis is on Arrow, the teenage girl they had a few episodes ago, Evelyn Sharp, who faked being Black Canary for a while.

There's another (evil looking) speedster that's been spotted. Scroll down to #7.

I really hope the bad guy for the entire season isn't going to be another speedster. Two for two is enough for now.

Well it's been confirmed that it's Todd Lasance playing this new black speedster which many fans are speculating could be the Black Racer!

I suppose they can tweak the character to fit in with the show, but as stated above, I wish they'd have gone back to Eobard. He's still got to be in the mix somehow. |

Fan speculation is great and all, but the Black Racer isn't a Speedster, is he? I read up a bit on him the other night, and he's all connected to Darkseid, which they obviously wont do for the small screen.

Damien Darhk had a mystery box early last season that was linked to Darkseid in the comics. it was seen once and then forgotten about.

Katie Cassidy is the latest to get that 'Arrowverse' deal. Darhk is sticking around on legends. (Neal McDonough deserves much better)
Arrow season 5 trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxG7JR4-nCM It looks.....meh. (At least he has his sleeves back.) The Flash - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LGQRbPERaU Looks good, aside from the Cisco stuff. Don't care enough to watch, but here's the Legends trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUrbrdZj-I4 Can't find one for Supergirl . |

That Arrow trailer doesn't excite me, I feel this show is going downhill every season. But hopefully the new season is better than it looks.
The Flash looks good, although I find Cisco a bit annoying and it looks like he will be even more annoying in this season. Legends of Tomorrow I thought looks good too. |

As for Darhk... here I was hoping we'd seen the last of that terrible excuse for a big bad.

Why is everyone just mentioning Darhk in LOT when he will just be one part of Legion Of Doom along with Malcolm,Eobard Thorne and Captain Cold as it seems that it's adding a lot of new characters to that show.Although the trailer didn't show much of the new characters to the team!
I was glad to see a new team in the Arrow trailer but then let down with shots of Thea and Diggle as they will be back which is a major disappointment not getting rid of these characters but will Flashpoint affect Arrow? Flash trailer was great and easily the best but I don't get the previous posters hatred of Cisco? |

So Katie Cassidy who plays Black Canary has signed a multi show deal for Arrow,Flash,Legends Of Tomorrow although I'm not sure if it includes Supergirl!
This seems to be a new trend in the DC-TVU after Captain Cold signed the same deal previously as well I'm guessing we will get a lot of characters bouncing around shows in the future! |

Oh so it's just in that trailer as you usually like the character?
I just got from your previous post that you didn't like Cisco as a character in general I didn't find it cringeworthy as it was good to see the actor trying something different with the role like he did last season with Vibe and now with the Flashpoint version of Cisco |

I did read that which has got me worried that Diggle is heading back to Star City permantly as Flashpoint may result in the conclusion of the last season being ignored with both Thea and Diggle being kept around!
Arrow needs fresh blood which I thought this new team would bring but Thea and Diggle are lurking in the shadows to replace them! |

I have little opinion on Thea; her character bores me now. I think it (may) be a good thing if Diggle ends up on Flash, cause (alike Thea) his character on Arrow has somewhat become stale. Him being on Flash might be a welcome change, although it's going to be annoying for fans of Arrow that don't follow Flash (and thus don't know about the changed timeline).
It'll be interesting to see what else has changed too, cause presumably Barry & Ollie will have met (if they even have?) under different circumstances. It does seem that Barry will still have his speed too, although one thing that does confuse me (time paradox stuff) Thawne says (to Barry) in one of the trailers that time will sort out the paradox that Barry has created, but then surely time should have sorted out the paradox that Thawne created when he went back and killed Barry's mother in the first place? ![]() ...but yeah, Flash will be about sorting out the timeline, and Arrow will be about (seemingly) training up a younger generation of vigilantes. Legends... haven't watched the trailer, but that'll just be confusing (cause it's Legends and even more complex time travel than Flash). Haven't seen anything on Supergirl yet. Edit: I also figure (re Flashpoint) is the reason we're going to be seeing Laurel all over the place. |

I would say that Legends is more confusing because of the amount of new characters as well as time travel as they have taken the role that the time masters held which will introduce cameos as I'm sure I read Jonah Hex is back in that show!
I do think it will become more and more of a problem in the future if you only watch one show like Arrow or Flash rather than all of them as you will get crossover episodes which will confuse you! Also in December when they crossover between all four shows will confuse most people who don't watch all the shows and these events will become more regular in the future! |

Flash trailer looks brilliant, Arrow's Russian Bravta bit is the only bit that's interesting me there atm and LoT is LoT, it will be at times brilliant and at other times utterly insane but always fun. Plus it's got Patrick J. Adams as Hourman.

Does Supergirl start a lot later than Arrow and Flash then?
