Seasons one pays off in the end in a big way though, and unlike Agents of shield you're rewarded for watching from the start, they don't just retool it to tie into a movie.
[TV] The Flash

Flash taking out tornadoes that way is a time honored tradition. I'm stoked for this.[DOUBLEPOST=1400245064,1400244861][/DOUBLEPOST]
Franics Manapul and Brian Buccellato's New 52 run on the Flash is criminally underrated.
It is I'm pretty sure. Starting with the n52 a lot of them were meta humans when they showed up. Story wise, not originally, but Captain Cold had an evil mad scientist do it to them after they lost to the Flash one to many times.

Man, you just straight up hate that show, don't you?
There's been a pretty consistent talkback/review thread on /co/ about the pilot, but I've been avoiding it. Don't want to spoil anything and I should probably watch Arrow first.
Yeah. That's why I don't know what the spoiler in the link is yet.
Spoiler: He runs fast. Like, REALLY fast.

Well first we have to see if Solomon Grundy shows up on Arrow or not... if they're willing to do that then there might be a chance for everyone favourite Flash villain....
Actually, they did use Solomon Grundy on Arrow...just not as a zombie. Rather, they had Cyrus Gold as an acolyte of Brother Blood and dosed up with a drug that gave him super strength and invulnerability.
You're clearly not remembering what happened to Cyrus Gold... he got some nice green goo on him, right before being buried under a ton of rubble... hint, hint, nudge, nudge.
I had forgotten that. Whether they actually go through with that and make him a zombie, though, is something else. Honestly, I don't expect them to go all the way if they do bring him back. It feels like they'll be more open to doing stuff like that for the Flash TV series, in my opinion.
I didn't view that so much as a veiled reference. I viewed it as an origin story. I fully expect to see a gray Solomon Grundy in season 3 on Arrow. He won't be a magic-based zombie, but he'll have been presumed dead and been buried. Because of the additional chemical exposure, he'll be immune to the mirakuru cure.
Harrison Wells is totally Wally West's Hunter Zolomon is totally Zoom the man who kills Barry's mom (Wally's twins)
I may be a bit of a Flash nerd but here's my guess.
In the Geoff Johns run of Flash, Wally West fails to save Hunter Zolomon from an attack by Gorilla Grodd. Hunter is wheelchair bound and goes to Wally to go back in time and stop it from happening but Wally tells Hunter that you can't change the past and some things are meant to happen. Zolomon goes crazy and jumps on the cosmic treadmill, but it explodes in his face and he becomes a reverse speedster, basically existing outside of time and able to traverse time at will. He doesn't 'hate' Flash, but he thinks that he has to experience trauma in order to become a better hero so he goes back in time to kill Linda West (Wally's wife at the time) but only causes her to miscarry the twins she was carrying. A couple dozen comics later, Zoom tries again and Wally follows him at the time, stopping him just as he would have done it again and causes a time loop which basically snaps Zoom into a catatonic state and Linda instantly births twins in 'normal time'.
If this is the plotline they bastardize, they have a fan for life. The John's run of Flash I read annually because it's so brilliant at bringing back the Rogue's Gallery and actually making them credible threats.
Yes, that's what i was saying, that they set it up so they can bring in a" closer to the comics" version of Solomon Grundy...
He's not a zombie, he's a rotting mutant... and they're walkers in The Walking Dead... who cares what they call them, as long as they look right.
New to the cast: Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold. He'll be turning up in episode four.

I hope they keep the Rogues' humanity. The Flash was always my favorite comic book character because of all the humanity. The Rogues were so interesting because they had lives and emotions, and didn't always feel obsessively compelled to do the bad guy thing. That and the begrudged respect for the Flash.
New poster!
grodd lives! Kord industries!
He's just being flashy.
Hopefully, they're realizing they can try and succeed *budget limitations taken into consideration* where the WB movie division keeps farking up (the Nolanverse being it's own separate thing) in trying have some of the success financially and creatively that the DCAU has had.[DOUBLEPOST=1409091889,1409091846][/DOUBLEPOST]
No, because HE'LL SAVE EVERYONE OF US!
*awesome guitar riff*
But then he'd get there too fast...
I dig the two tone it looks good. A bit like Kid Flash's classic costume (Wally's new Kid Flash costume is silver and black which looks pretty slick, but that's another... thread. 
).[DOUBLEPOST=1412866433,1412866202][/DOUBLEPOST]Ok looking at it some more, is that Proffessor Ed (can't remember his real name), Thawne, or a stunt double in the costume, I can't identify the lower part of the face. Their secret identity is safe from me.
