I mean it'd be extra awesome if he does mo-cap for Grodd, and plays Deathstroke, because someday maybe we'd be able to get this slice of awesome in a Flash/Arrow episode.
And that's what I love about Flash and Arrow - this sort of scene seems plausible now. Slowly and surely they're building a top-level line of recurring villains in their DC universe.
The pilot wasn't without faults (that Ollie cameo felt a bit out of place), but it was an extremely solid premiere with pretty much the perfect tone. Grant Gustin is so damn likeable, too.
I'm in for the ride.
Edit: Oh god, that credit at the OT :lol TBH, I don't remember if I were the first person to propose "gotta go fast".
Fox still has stuff that does better numbers though so their expectations would still be higher, I was including the likely drop off that the Flash will experience as most shows do after the premiere.
The six-time Emmy nominee has been cast as one half of the DC Comics entity Firestorm. Victor Garber will recur on CWs superhero series The Flash as Dr. Martin Stein,
a brilliant but arrogant nuclear physicist who has scarified everything, including a marriage, for his work in transmutation. After he discovers the particle accelerator has fused him with the younger, more impulsive Ronnie Raymond (Robbie Amell), he races to find a way to separate the two before its too late.
Garbers recent credits include Web Therapy, Power, Deception and Damages, and he earned three of his Emmy noms for playing Jack Bristow on Alias. He also has appeared in such features as Milk, The First Wives Club, Legally Blonde and Titanic. Garber, who also has four Tony nominations, is repped by UTA and Industry Entertainment.
My bets are on just "Zoom." Professor Zoom just doesn't send very good unless he's actually a professor and it's explicitly said in the show (which I doubt)... and reverse flash sounds even worse, reverse batman, reverse superman? wut? "Stop it reverse flash, what are you doing?!" Just sounds laughably bad.

The cowl blends better with the bodysuit, Barry needs those "shoulder pads" as well really fills out the suit and is a better transition into the cloth.

Hopefully Barry gets a better red next season because seeing him next to Zoom really makes the costume look kinda bland.
Only thing Zoom needs imo is for the ear bolts to be bigger(Barry as well).
WOW. The show just got even better. An actor I greatly enjoy and one of the DC characters I actually gave a shit about that wasn't Batman growing up too.
Smash alum and Chasing Life actor Andy Mientus has boarded The CW's Arrow spinoff as
the openly gay DC villain in a multi-episode arc, The Hollywood Reporter confirms. He will appear in the 11th and 12th episodes.
Hartley Rathaway, who later becomes Pied Piper and a member of the Rogues, is a genius who used to work at STAR Labs until he had a falling out with the mysterious Dr. Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh), the brains and money behind the particle accelerator. Following the explosion that created the metahumans, Hartley lost his hearing but started creating sonic weapons that he uses to destroy Harrison's latest creation: The Flash (Grant Gustin).
Mientus is the latest addition to a guest cast that includes Victor Garber as Dr. Martin Stein, original heroine Amanda Pays as Dr. Tina McGee, Dominic Purcell as Heatwave and Clancy Brown as General Wade Eiling.

We got Piper, Cold, Heatwave, Boomerang, and Weather Wizard. Just need Trickster and Golden Glider and we're good. I suppose Abra Kadabra is likely to of they're doing time travel.

havent checked the previous pages. but did anyone mention how Reverse Flase is wearing a ring? Wonder if it has anything to do with the ring Barry wears in the comics.
Enjoyed the premiere, and look forward to see where it goes.
My main reservation is the setting construct being essentially Smallville. Replace Kryptonite meteor shower with particle accelerator energy ribbon and you have the same situation. Not that I don't want super powered villains, but it runs the same risk as Smallville - monster-of-the-week used as filler or as a replacement for plotting and character development.
Hopefully the writers are up to the task and don't take the easy way out.

I know exactly what you mean, but hopefully they can move on from it. Arrow had basically the same thing with his list, but they pretty much ditched that completely before Season 1 was even over. It was a good jumping off point to display the character, but I do remember being super worried that the next 3 seasons of Arrow would be him crossing people off that list. Hopefully Flash just uses it for part of this season until they can establish their own threats for Barry.
