Ach, i'll give it a whirl..... The trailer is basically the whole pilot episode though, so not many surprises to come, right?

Love the Green Lantern tie-in... where Barry's speed is being tested on a runway owned by Ferris Air...

Did you see the framed photo near the beginning? I think John Wesley Shipp might be Barry's dad
Definitely JWS. There's the photo, and if you pause the video at just the right moment, he's behind Barry when his mom is killed.

I'll definitely be giving this a watch. I like the tone and the effects look pretty good, but that costume still looks terrible, even with the added effects I just can't see that as the Flash's costume.I hope they change it before too long, its just not something a runner would wear.
the costume is a bit grimace worthy, but from the videos, the speedforce sfx is completely spot on. barry and wally are 2 of my favorite DC characters so I really have to give this a chance. i just hope the whole "woah, he outran a whole arrow!" aspect is blown away. thats crazy slow for the flash. this is a guy who is able to run around the entire earth to punch you from the opposite side during a fist fight

The radar gun showed him exceeding 700 mph, I'm fairly sure outrunning the arrow isn't indicative of his potential. It's just a gimmick since Flash is a spin-off of Arrow, same as having Ollie show up in the pilot.
Not digging the suit, the speed force effect is fine though. Not sure how I feel about so many people knowing his identity, especially since a couple of them are villains in the comics. Glad to see they're having Zoom seeded right from the get go though.

Yes Zoom is great. And yea pushing 700 (basically sound barrier) when he's obviously new and figuring out his limits is good. I just hate seeing people post how superspeed is a lame power when they dont know the degree the Flash is capable of. Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern all call a single city the main one they protect. Flash literally patrols every street of 3 cities across the county simultaneously. It's pretty epic

Well, this Flash show is a spinoff from Arrow since Barry Allen appeared in 2 episodes of Arrow. So I would like to see Arrow & certain cast members to appear in Flash & vice-versa to acknowledge they belong in the same DC universe. Just like members of Stargate SG-1 appeared in Stargate Atlantis.

I'm not up on my Flash story history, but I believe the yellow Flash is Professor Zoom, Flash's arch nemesis, someone can correct me on that if I'm wrong?

There's more than one Reverse Flash, with Professor Zoom being arguably the most famous. He's the one that killed Barry's mother.
It could also be Zoom, who's another Reverse Flash that showed up after Professor Zoom died and had an almost-identical costume.

The CW shows aren't connected to Man of Steel (at least, not yet), Constantine won't be connected to anything, and neither will Gotham.
Which is a big waste if you ask me, but hey.
