David Cassidy was Mirror Master
looking through the old cast list...In terms of bigger actor names...I recognize Angela Bassett (Linda Lake) and Adam West (Hippy Guy...LOL)
EDIT oh I see Bryan Cranston in there too...I don't know the character though (Philip Mark Moses)...a nobody I assume? I don't know the Flash universe characters all that well.

Woah. That is fantastic! Hype!
That costume has not aged well.

Mark Hamill now huh? When is this show going to start disappointing me?! It can't stay amazing forever....
I DON'T WANNA THINK ABOUT IT.

Not sure why I haven't posted in here before, since I have been watching and enjoying the show.
*shrug*
Anyway, I agree with the compliments the show has earned for being, for the most part, bright and breezy and fun. Barry isn't brooding over his powers at all, which is really nice to see. And they're also doing a fantastic job of channeling all of the dark-light ambiguity in the show into Dr. Wells' character
I know everyone is speculating that he's the villain, and that's definitely something they're hinting at, but its almost too on the nose and I'd honestly be disappointed if they just went down that route. Because there does appear to be some actual moral complexity in Wells' character. I'm constantly going back and forth on weather he's being manipulative or genuine, and that's a good thing. Case in point: the Blackout episode. He was straight up willing to risk his own life to try and get the timeline he cares so much about back on track. Now granted he was gambling on that pressure getting Barry his powers back, but that doesn't change the fact that he could have died there. Whatever Wells is working towards, its probably not selfish. He does believe in some bigger plan, and I'm curious what that is

That is awesome news. The Hamillsance Begins!
Anarchist terrorist con man, that is a great description.
I wonder what his characterization will be. Based on that description, he could easily go into insane Joker territory, he could be a friendly enemy, he could be any number of things.
Oh shit.
Holy fuck. Nice

This...would actually be the best thing
Me from a while back. I am ecstatic about this news and I'm so glad Mark Hamill is making the time to guest on a CW show the same year as Star Wars. Such nerd respect, he does this out of love for the comics.
This is the greatest goddamn thing.
Hamill's Trickster was one of the cooler enemies on the first Flash show. That is super cool that they're bringing him back to do some version of the character. Do you think he'll use the same voice? Because that voice was pretty much a prototype of his Joker voice. If we get some insane Jokeresque cackling, I will be over the moon.

How's Mark Hamill looking nowadays? I heard he lost a ton of weight in the last year.

That would be SO DAMN COOL, in a mindscrew-y sort of way, but how on earth would they make that clear to the regular viewers?

Got me again Flash
I love that episode. The giant boomerang was so ridiculously funny.

I bet what happens is that
The Counterfeit Trickster is all part of the real Trickster's plan to escape prison and he wins.

Another candidate I've seen suggested for the true identity of Harrison Wells:

I really hope he's not Rip Hunter. I know that comics aren't going to be the same as the show, but Rip Hunter isn't cold-blooded.

Now I'll be disappointed if that doesn't happen.
That was pretty damn sweet
That would be fucking nuts if they a) Went that way and b) Actually pulled it off.
HAMILL HYPE!!!

I wonder how Joker-esque the Trickster will be.
Seeing as Hamill's Trickster spawned his Joker, I'd say quite a bit.
They should go on America's Got Talent if this whole acting gig doesn't work for them.

I'm pretty crap at math but guys, this might equal to amazing.
If you're wondering why Heath Ledger's Joker is there, it's cause

Hamill Joker is still the best Joker. The great balance of silly clown and murderous psychopath.
One of my favorite Hamill Joker moments. It is all giggles until Lex insults Batman.

Hamill and Clancy.
God I loved how on point the VA choices were for those series.

That is still the gold standard for crossovers. I loved how much Bruce was trolling Clark when Bruce was dating Lois. He was always sure to remind Clark that he had his chance and missed it.
Shave Clancy's head and he would make a badass live action Luthor today.
But yes, the voice casting was damn awesome on those shows.

So, are we taking bets on seeing how much swag REVERSE FLASH will have?
The scale starts out with Tommy (1) and ends with Barrowman (10). Slade is a solid 9.5.

Captain Boomerang set the bar high. Well, Captain Cold did as well. I am still torn on who had better swag out the gate.
You messed up. It is, and forever shall be, The Barrowman. He must always have "The" before the name. He is that powerful.

Red Hood will be a solid 9.
Gotta be Captain Cold. He fucking won. Sure, Boomerang struck a deadly blow on Lyla, and it took both Flash and Arrow to stop him, but he still got caught and sent to Lian Yu. Cold got away in the most baller fashion.
