Arrow is Going to Prove That Having a Live Action TV Show Full of Superheroes is Going to Be Amazing!
I’m loving Arrow season 2, and I am fairly certain the rest of you are too. But apparently, they are going to turn everything up to 11. EVERYTHING!
Holy Moley! I think I loved that trailer more than any movie trailer I’ve seen in a year. It had action, it had characters, it had twists and more awesomeness than I could have possibly expected. Glued to my seat with this season, everybody. Glued to my seat! Also, just personally, they need to put Roy in a mask and suit already. That hoodie’s just not doing it for me…or, well, not doing enough.
Thank Jeebus, Arrow is Gonna Get a Real Mask
Though there’s still a little makeup around the eyes
I complained about this a long time ago, but man, Stephen Amell looked stupid with the green makeup brushed around his eyes on the TV show Arrow. Plus, in season 2, he’s not longer hiding in the shadows. He has face-to-face conversations with a lot of people who personally know Oliver Queen. The makeup just wasn’t cutting it anymore. And it never looked anything other than stupid. So good call, fine folks at Arrow. It’s nice to know you’re using your heads.
Also, how great has season 2 been, amiright?
6 Things I Want to See in a Flash TV Show
Following the success of the Green Arrow TV show – and really, who could have seen that coming? – Warner Bros. and The CW have announced hopes to make a spin-off about the Flash, the fastest man alive. They cast actor Grant Gustin as the Scarlet Speedster only a few weeks ago, and he’s already filming a few episodes of Arrow Season 2 to build up his character and get him ready for his own pilot.
I’ve said it before: we are living in a Golden Age of superhero entertainment.
Faster than a speeding…no wait, that’s Superman
I consider myself a fan of the Flash, even though I’ve rarely ever read his comic. I love the idea of the character, I love the costume, I love the powers; the Flash can be a really cool guy. I think he’d make for a fantastic big screen movie, but who am I to argue with Warner Bros. decision to make a TV show instead? I really liked the first season of Arrow, so I have high hopes for the Flash – I also have some suggestions (or demands, depending on how you look at it).
Join me after the jump for 6 things I want in a Flash TV show.
Flash TV Show? Say Whaaat?
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’.
So Many Comic-Con Trailers!
This has been one heck of a Comic-Con. I wish I was there and could give you guys and gals the news directly, but for now, I’m sitting here reading about it online like the rest of you. I’m always watching some awesome trailers – at least the ones that are being released to the public. But I am not a picky guy. I’ll watch whatever they give me. And I’ll also share it with you fine people.
Arrow, Season 2:
That looks cool. Ollie going through some personal crisis. Felicity creating a new Arrow Cave. A possible name change (good!). Roy Harper doing more to become a hero. And I’m pretty sure that was Black Canary at the end! Arrow Season 2 looks like it’s going to be a blast.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
I loved the first film, and it looks like I’m going to love the second film. I’ve never read the books, so I don’t know what to expect, so this is the first time I’ve heard that Katniss has to compete in a second Hunger Games. I had no idea that’s what happened. I thought the sequel was just going to be about the political stuff, which I really enjoy. One of my favorite scenes in the first film was when District 11 tried to revolt. So I’m excited for this sequel.
The Walking Dead Season 4
Also good. All of these trailers are awesome. Walking Dead’s going to deal with a larger group now, with more deaths, and some internal drama. I like the sound of all of that.
