They've done so many amalgamation and splitting tactics with the TV versions of Comic Book characters.. I honestly don't know if they ever plan on Wally showing up.

The casting of Iris and Joe were influenced by New 52 Wally so it's certainly possible.

I highly doubt Wally is going to happen unless there is some time travel shit involved

That isn't a problem for Wally, that's more applicable to Bart and Iris 2. His origin story will probably be changed to that of a cousin instead of Iris' nephew but that's about it. And maybe call him Impulse instead of Kid Flash depending on what age he is.

Also, time travel isn't really an issue either.

Wally doesn't seem to fit into S1 particularly as it stands. It's likely he'll show up in S2 onwards, once Barry's got through his own origin.
 
But the rest of my post was clearly speculation and untagged. I don't know why they spoiler tagged speculation but I'm not going to, just regular old spoilers.

I spoiler tagged the speculation because of the potential change for characters to mirror the comics.
 
So, I never watched Glee and now that you've been talking about it I've hit youtube to check on Gustin singing a few things like 'smooth criminal' or 'glad you came'. The guy CAN sing, I'm more curious about the chapter now.
 
I wonder if we actually should have a separate thread like for Game of Thrones?


One for people that are Flash virgins, and one for people that have read the comics? We seem to be running into the same issues that spurred that divide.

I don't think the show is popular enough to warrant that divide. At the same time, The Flash is not a straight adaptation.

Holy shit you're right. If he doesn't sing in Flash I'm going to be disappointed.
 
Have the writers confirmed if Grodd is going to be in S1 at all? I know there's been little hints, but it'd be interesting to see Flash go up against Grodd. Or maybe he'll be the big bad for S2 (which hasn't been confirmed yet right?).

Oh, and is there going to be another crossover episode with Arrow this season? Those two episodes were really fun.

Yep. They treat each season as if it's the last season, they went all out. We are getting Grodd.

Didn't all the CW shows get their renewal announced at the same time?

Nobody really bothers with that, these shows deviate enough from the comics that it isn't an issue. This is nowhere near as faithful as something like Game of Thrones. Look at characters like Lyla, Jean Loring or even Felicity.

Season 2 is confirmed.
And Grodd is confirmed for later this year but only one episode AFAIK, hopefully he's back in the big bad slot next season. The crossover is just one way with Felicity and Ray visiting Flash again.
 
There's going to be an episode where Iris is talking on the phone with cousin Wally some day and this thread is going to explode.
 
Uh...shouldn't Welles at this point know about Wally?

It's been established at this point Wells doesn't know everything.

I would be very surprised if the timeline doesn't get massively altered (again?) at some point, if not the finale. We're only a year into a show that's pretty much guaranteed to run another 5 years there's a lot of time and twists to come.
 
Assuming Wally gets introduced, really hoping he maintains the whole relatable people person Flash thing. Specifically starting with Piper. There's too much baggage when it comes to him and the team, but Wally would have none of those problems.
 
So...was Wells in the suit, then? He can't control his speed, which is why he grabbed the tachyon device: to stabilize himself. But he attached it to his suit, and then directly to him.

I'm rather confused on that front.

Jesus seeing 5 years years being typed out on the open really blows your mind.

Time travel, buddy. It's always time travel.

Future Wells came back with his full powers to get the Tachyon device to give to Past Wells.
 
Tennant is attached to Jessica Jones and is still doing Broadchurch in the UK I believe.. so even as a dream possibility the filming schedules would have to not clash.
 
I'm a bit unsure about it because Wells seems to be causing events to happen according to his whims. Could Wells manipulate things to happen a certain way due to foreknowledge? Sure. But I don't think things are absolutely destined to happen.

Clearly not if Wells can check papers from the future and see that Flash doesn't exist then freak out when Barry got his powers leeched etc.

He's angling for a specific result but he's dancing on the edge of a knife to do it.

That's my point. There is no absolute predetermined outcome. He knows what certain people could be capable of in certain situations based of information from an alternate timeline but there is no guarantee that everything is going to pan out exactly as he wants.
 
Is Wells supposed to be fast enough to whip his own ass without being detected or is there a third speedster?
 
Wells is going to beat the everlasting shit out of Barry in the season finale isn't he?

If it follows a similar trajectory to Arrow, Reverse Flash will kick Barry's ass in the 22nd episode and in the 23rd there'll be a huge fight and some time traveling, mother killing action with Barry finally winning.
 
I hope it's just like the Arrow S1 finale, but with The Flash super-speed kicking Wells in the dick a billion times while Cisco rocks a fat beat on the boombox and Caitlin freaks out about the quantum mechanics.

I really want Wells to be a long form villain. He's way too good to just relegate to just this season. I do expect something along the lines of your post though.

Thanks to time travel and the Arrowverse's hesitance to kill off major villains I don't think you should worry about it too much.

Presumably there's Zoom still to come as well.
 
It's funny how flash and supergirl are from Glee. Glee is the farm factory for future CW superheros

That makes Prison Break and Spartacus the farm factory for future CW supervillans.

Glee - Heroes
Sparcatus - Arrow Villains
Prison Break - Flash villains.

That doesn't really hold up now, seeing how Liam McIntyre will be on Flash and it's only a matter of time before Captain Boomerang joins the Rouges.
