CW The Flash Season 7 trailer!

That's good to know.

 

Hopefully that means we'll actually get to see him in use the ring in full GL costume at some point.

 

It still seems to me that if they had permission to do that, they wouldn't have skirted around it the way they did this season. I hope I'm wrong, though.

 

^ But since they went through the trouble of teasing this across multiple shows, they've got to deliver a GL, otherwise they end up with a whole lot of cheesed off viewers.

 

That's a statement about what's preferable. That's not the same subject as what's practically attainable. This is the reality of television -- it's about what you can manage, which is always less than what you ideally want. It wouldn't be the first time a production had to settle for teasing and hinting about things that it didn't have permission to mention outright.

 

I don't think we'll be seeing GL Diggle. DC is fully back to banning multiple uses of characters (right as they're making a multiverse movie, ironically). Neither Legends of Tomorrow or even Netflix's Sandman can use John Constantine anymore, presumably because of the JJ Abrams HBO Max Constantine series that is in development. With the GL show supposedly being made, I don't see them allowing any GL on an Arrowverse show.

The only exceptions seem to be in title characters and characters established on the show's main cast for awhile, presumably because of CW's contracts with WB/DC (i.e. WB can't make them cancel Flash even if they only want one Flash, etc).

 

Maybe they can call him DIG-GL to circumvent it.

 

A couple years back I dubbed it DigGLe.

 

The Emerald Torch

 

Regardless of what rules DC/Warner is currently impose on the TV/movie creators, Netflix's Sandman was always going to replace John with Joanna.

 

Well that's stupid (like everything about the upcoming Sandman adaptation), but he does seem to also imply they probably couldn't have used Constantine anyway. DC probably wouldn't have given Netflix a higher priority then one of the CW shows when it comes to what characters they could use.

 

Don't ever change.

 

AH! Thanks for the correction. I was really tired.

 

No fear of them ever embracing change.

 

So I saw a video on Twitter, which I now can't seem to relocate to post here. But it looks like Barry is finally getting the comic book accurate golden boots this season. 'Bout time.

 

There is a lot more location photos than just the golden boots on Twitter. Showing up over the last month during filming the Armageddon episodes. Spoilers if anyone looks those up. No surprise guest stars. All related to those announced already. One costume confirms fan speculation.

 

New poster for season 8

 

I am really digging the gold boots.

 

Are the golden boots just a fashion change or is there some other purpose for them?

 

Is the rest of the suit the same? I thought there was some gold pipping before.
