The Flash

This was a good episode.

Black Wally? You mean Wallace West?…and is that the guy who played the Flash from the original TV series?

The very same, he's a perfect fit for jay, although Teddy Sears did a great job too.

Also they made Wally (the flash you likely remember if you watched the justice league cartoon) black, presumably because of the nu52, but I'm not sure.

Is he still Wally personality wise in nu52?

No, he's 'generic black teenager' who grew up on the street, although he likes cars and wants to go fast.

bump

So they killed off Barry and now it'll be about Wally West the Nigger.

Whelp, dropped.

The next episode's preview shows they are getting him back and the episode description for the episode after it mentions Barry being alive. Chill.

Why not just create a whole new Flash like Marvel did with Miles Morales. It would allow DC to move away from the Flash family and see how others would handle his powers. Instead, they took the easy way out and black-faced Wally.

Technically they black-faced Iris first, which caused a domino effect of black-facing the entire West family.

Because
1:DC wants to keep the trademark on "Wally West" active.
2: Nobody but ideologues wants to create an original character (or even work for all that long) for the big 2 because the pay and credit is shit.

Isn't one of the Earths the "Black-faced" Earth? Superman and everyone else is black. I wonder if John, Static, J'on and Black Manta are white there?


I think I read that DC has really lost its grasp over the comic audience, which Marvel now holds. Could this mean that Image or Darkhorse might take its place in the big two soon?

Wells just put up a massive list of metahumans from his Earth. He doesn't specify "Metahuman criminals", just "metahumans".

Aside from Flash, Firestorm, and Vibe are there any good metahumans in the CWverse?

There is no comic audience.

In a few episodes there'll be most of the flash family, I'm predicting Jesse will use Trajectory's suit initially and Wally will have some variation of Barry's flash suit as his Kid Flash costume, unless Vibe makes something else.

it's not like Barry spent twenty-five or so years dead in real life with occasional guest appearances

I miss the original Wally. This kid is a boring git

10/10 episode

why the fuck do they need 3 speedsters? They doing an Arrow thing now? Barry is OP enough as it is

It's always possible that one of them will go on a spin off show. Maybe they'll make something like Teen Titans.

With season 1 being breddy gud and season 2 being god tier, it seems so.

They'll defeat Zoom by having 3 (or 4. The producers have hinted there's a real non-evil Jay Garrick) speedsters take him on instead of telling Barry "you have to get faster"

Then come Season 3 they'll have Wally protecting Keystone, Jessie in Earth 2 and whatever they do with real Jay if they use him and go back to just Barry in Central City.

The absolute best, I think, would be for the real Jay to be in Earth-2, maybe with Jesse Quick.

Also, note the characters that have appeared in the arrowverse this season and the last.
Does that lineup sound familiar?

They said that as much as they wanted to use Green Lantern they can't because Hal Jordon is on the big screen.

Maybe they'll use Alan Scott (possibly with that goofy "Sentinel" alias) to get around this.
