I don’t normally write about this kind of news, since it’s pretty much just rumors and guess work at this point, but this has been an incredibly slow week for comic book and geek news! It also happens to be my first vacation of the year from my day job, so I’m just sitting around playing Skyrim anyway. So I figured you peeps might like to chew on the news that the Flash might get his own TV show!

No speed puns felt appropriate

According to Deadline, the production team behind the successful Arrow show are going to start working on a live action Flash TV show – not unlike the live action Flash TV show that aired back in the 90s, and featured Mark Hamill as the Trickster. Never heard of that show before? It was a treat!

According to the report, the Flash will guest star in a Season Two episode of Arrow, then spin-off into his own pilot. Not quite sure how they expect to explain super-powers in the Arrow universe, but I’m sure they’ll come up with something.

I would be totally down for a live action Flash TV show, especially one set in the Arrow universe. I like Arrow as much as the next guy, so expanding it to a whole live action DC Universe sounds fantastic. There’s also a Flash movie planned for 2016 or something, right? I hope they don’t butt heads. I know DC and Warner Bros. have always had trouble when it comes to giving their superheroes conflicting TV shows, movies or cartoons. It never makes much sense to me, but I am completely in favor of seeing them expand from Arrow‘s success.

Maybe now someone will buy my pilot script for ‘Boy Wonder’.
