Imagine Zoom vs Flash on a movie budget, a fight that spans the entire planet.
I dunno if we should spoiler this discussion but....
I'm assuming that they'll kill off Clyde (as they do in the comics) and have Mark show up later for revenge with Weather powers and his stupid rod.

You cannot be serious. "Is that a video game?"
:lol
Video games won't look like that till 2025 at the earliest.

So I'm guessing the guy in the wheelchair ends up becoming the Flash's version of Professor Zoom.

Extended trailer is great. Safe to assume the red and yellow in the intro are Zoom and Flash fighting it out?
Still not sold completely sold on the speed effect, but it does look better here compared to the teaser trailer from this morning.

It's the pilot. It probably won't look as good/expensive for the rest of the series.

Pilots can sometimes have bigger budgets because they're made as a one off episode. That trailer looks like it's comprised entirely of scenes from the pilot episode, so things could potentially look cheaper once the actual season starts since they'll then have a single budget for everything over the course of the whole season.

Flash Episode 2: The mystery of the one-room drama
Central, yes, but being not compelling? You're arguing the show was trying to be bad at first? I was in the AoS thread when the show was taking the most heat in the beginning, and every time someone said "I wish there more crossovers" someone was ready to counter saying the show's real problems were the writing and the characters. So which is it? Was the bad because it was in a shared universe that prevented crossover, or was it just actually a poorly written and acted show? I'm inclined to believe it was the latter, which has little to do with it being in a shared universe.
But that's an assumption based on assuming WB would have done things exactly as Marvel Studios. Which is the same fallacy we always make in these discussions: assuming the way Marvel did it is the only way anyone can do it.
And I meant the differences from a story standpoint. A show about the organization that put the Avengers together and is central to many of the events in the MCU is very different from shows that follow the exploits of two heroes in a world full of them.
Not necessarily. For example, what if Barry can't be in Central City during a criminal break out or some other disaster because he's in the events of JLA? When I say that the shows and movies don't have to interfere with each other, I mean mainly in the sense of character usage, which is what the conversation normally focuses on.
It's a complicated process to be sure, but the assumption that it's automatically going to ruin the shows because the writers won't be able to tell stories anymore is a tad too much for my taste.
I think him being Clyde is just the standard "we're waiting to give him his name." Since Flash likely won't be offing characters left and right, I'm sure we'll see him again.

Have to admit, super impressed with the full trailer. The CW has been doing a great job with Arrow, so I'm definitely down to give Flash a chance.

I love Pokken!
Ya, I'm guessing Episode 2 will be all about Barry taking Iris on a date.
50/50 on it based off that extended trailer.
For everything that made it look good, there was something that made it look godawful. They aren't holding back on the cringe I see, I'm ok with cheese, but goddamn lol. Some of that dialogue is just imposing.
Anwyay, I might check it out if I can get into Arrow.

That extended trailer was fucking awesome. The close-up shots of him running look stupid as fuck but all the other action scenes, running scenes and special effects (when he stops the tornado) look surprisingly brilliant.
Can't fucking wait now.
Oh and even in a cameo Oliver still destroys the scenes with swag. Green Arrow is god tier.

Clearly this is the only way to go.
OH WOW FANTASTIC!!!
Arrow showrunners are not fucking around, they know that comic book geeks will be the driving force that will promote this show. They aim to satisfy comic book fans first, and then to add CW/TV elements in the show to make it appealing to the rest.
One thing I do like is that his speed FX is really similar to Injustice. I liked the FX for his movement in that game.

Sorry I didn't feel the need to clarify that I meant a videogame cut scene. It's entirely CGI anyway so it's not like it couldn't be.

Wow, looks great. Definitely a lighter tone than Arrow, but that's perfect for the character.
I only wish it was coming out this summer so it could hold me over till Arrow Season 3.

YES!
They got Geoff Johns himself working on the show and the Flash is his favorite hero. If any character's gonna get treated right, it's this one.

The Extended Trailer gave me all the hype I need. The special effects are great for a CW budget show and the storytelling looks more like a comic book brought to life than even Arrow. Can't wait for this show.
There is one thing that bugs me though. In the trailer there is a quick new flash that mentions Keystone. However in Arrow it was mentioned that Barry worked in Central City. I know that in the comics (SPOILER!)
. What does this mean then?

Keystone and Central City are two different cities in separate dimensions where both the original and main Flash were superheroes in
Because we should be dissuading the CW tumblr horseshit that's rendered the Arrow OT unreadable.

Ya know if Ollie ever shows up on a Justice League movie his niche is going to get completely overshadowed by Batman.

Bitches love smiley faces
Hot damn. I'm all in.
Get Harkness in the show ASAP... so he can get shanghaied into Task Force X.

That's been a thread running through the JLA for years. Olly's differentiates himself by being a man of the people on the streets rather than an aloof hero like Batman. Many times throughout JLA history Olly has specifically gotten into altercations with Bruce because he doesn't feel Bruce does enough for the people of Gotham and instead focuses all his energy on a few nemesi.
