The Flash - Season 1

It was an 80s comic, the Micronauts issue during assistant editors month possibly, where they explained that Jarvis rings up the Marvel bullpen once a week and explains the ongoings of the Avengers.

Oh, in Fantastic Four 250, Franklin calls Spider-Man "Spidey-Man" so Pete facepalms, instantly regretting in a thought bubble ever handing over his rights to The Electric Company.
 
A new Flash/Arrow crossover trailer is up:

On another note, has anyone checked to see if the Braille on the walls of Wells' future-room actually means anything, or is it just placed there more or less at random?
 
That Spidey let his likeness be used in an educational comic in-universe was established in the 1978-ish issue in which his name was cleared of the charges that had him on the wrong side of the law for several years. (Electric Company tie-in title Spidey Super-Stories was in publication at the time.)

The Assistant Editors Month Fantastic Four issue had writer/artist John Byrne being taken by The Watcher to witness the trial of Reed Richards. On the opening page Byrne is lamenting that if he doesn't find out what the FF are up to he might have to just make something up to hit the deadline for the latest issue.
 
Joe does not like all the holes Ollie is making in the criminals of Central City.

How is Joe going to react that Barry knows who the Arrow is and that he is going to keep Oliver's secret?
 
Never got into Lois & Clark or Smallville simply because I had a job where I worked on the nights they were on. This year, however, I've been able to catch two programs from the actual beginning. I've really been impressed, in a positive fashion, with Gotham on the FOX network and even more so with The Flash on the CW. Marvel may be champ at the box-office, but DC seems to rule the small screen (a pretty nifty division of things, I think).

Anyway, another nice touch on The Flash lay in the casting of the 80's Barry Allen (John Wesley Shipp) as his dad. Cool stuff. One minor complaint with both is that they seem to be burning through or at least trying to introduce too many rogues in too short of time (both are only 10 episodes or so in). The episodes are solid but pace things for a marathon run instead of a high intensity sprint.

Arrow (also on the CW) is good but, for me, not quite as compelling, and SHIELD (ABC) just hasn't been my cup of tea.
 
So I was thinking: if Wells isn't Reverse Flash and they go ahead and cast Zoom, then howabout Rosenbaum? He's in his 40s now, but he'd still be younger than Cavanagh.
 
You know the more I look at Cavanaugh and particularly his facial structure...he really does look like Metron.

Not saying the resemblance is dispositive but it is a cool theory
 
Probably nobody is more surprised that Guy came up with such an intriguing theory than Guy himself.... :p ;)
 
As soon as Sisco said that there were three uniforms, I immediately wondered if one of them had the colours inverted?

You have to imagine that a "functioning" flash Suit has to be difficult to make, and not just anyone can do it.

Either the Reverse Flash has access to Wells/Sisko, he altered one of Barry's uniforms, or he's the tool, albeit ever so temporarily, of a different billionaire who is trying to reverse engineer the Flash for some nefarious reason.

Why would the colour of the suit alter the colour of the lightning trail when Barry's lightning trail is consistent no matter what he is wearing?

Yes that ring could be what it obviously looks like, or it could be a Legion Flight Ring?

Or if we want to be really out there, a Sinestro Corps Power Ring can move people at light speed, while maintaining a forcefield that allows them to survive impelling at almost light speed through real space. (There's probably an FTL in there as well, but superluminal speed can't happen in real space, and opens a new can of worms.)

So if that is a Flash costume storage ring, that means that the Reverse Flash is also(?) from the Future, or he's been to the future where Barry is using one of those rings, or it's Professor Zoom's own device that Barry appropriates and takes as his own like a smug patent stealing thief.

Oh.

I remember preCrisis there's some crap in the comics about the suit being made of a super thin material and then "folding" it up into a parcel the size of a pea...But if this is even a minor application of miniaturization technology, that should spike Ray Palmer's attention since he thinks that he is on the forefront of founding that field of science, but after seeing this baby in action he's going to have some serious doubts about if he is the founding father of anything.

But current day Ray Palmer doesn't know that.

Is Ray a businessman enough to think that the world will be a better place if he sells miniaturization technology on the open market?

Sure this tech can probably do a lot of good, but now suddenly there would be random crazies out there only X number of dollars away from turning the Eastern seaboard into a collection of bottle cities.
