whitelanthawkeye Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I accidentally caught the start of the Flash\Arrow crossovers Monday night. For those that follow the Golden Age thread, you are probably familiar with my Flash Comics Journal blog (click image below). The Hawkman\Hawkgirl origins were exceptionally phenomenal. The -script was inspired by Flash Comics #1: Entry #8 “A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.” -- Joseph Campbell. The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Although Gardner Fox created the Hawkman ten years before Joseph Campbell’s book was released, the Hawkman represents Joseph Campbell’s hero. Flash Comics #1: I can’t help but think that the character of Carter Hall must have been self-reflective of the times. With war in Europe started in the autumn of 1939, he must have wrestled with a sense of helplessness in a world that is on a destructive course. A collector of exotic curios of the ancient world, frequent guest at socialite galas, he is ready to embark on a hero’s journey that will change his life forever. I particularly like how Gardner Fox handles the mythological aspects of the story of the Hawkman origin. Making an Egyptian god blonde is right. The blending of different gods and goddesses further creates an American folk hero. The ninth metal! Quarterstaff, wings, hood, crossbow; we are introduced to one of the Hawkman’s mythos, the use of weapons of war. Death Count = 1 Yeah, personally I'm super excited to see how all that plays out and if both of them last long or if one dies quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitelanthawkeye Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Earth 2's Caitlin Snow Revealed in THE FLASH Set Pics I'm just glad it appears to be Earth 2's Caitlin Snow that is evil and not the Earth One. They need to keep the key team as it is. I mean I'd be happy if they gave Cisco more to do as vibe, but I want the three of them to stay together.

Bosco685 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 The Flash's Keiynan Lonsdale Talks Wally West & (Possibly) Becoming Kid Flash JJJ: We already see some differences with Wally in the show vs in the comic book. But the potential to become Kid Flash has to be pretty exciting. Are you hoping they go that route? KL: Yeeeeeees! I’d be crazy if I said otherwise! I’m sure that’s where we’ll go with it, we have to. If it doesn’t happen soon, I will casually make my own suit and casually wear it on set to make everyone speed up the process. JJJ: How would you describe Wally in three words? KL: Quick. Layered. Fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta admit they're mining DEEP for 'other' speedsters that folks barely know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta admit they're mining DEEP for 'other' speedsters that folks barely know. I do agree. There are SO many great DC characters from over the years, this show could be using them to keep the spice going. Look at what a brief appearance of Martian Manhunter did for Supergirl. I love the show anyway. But I noticed the uptick from that episode versus the focus on Calista Flockhart as a negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Okay now. Which one of you is the hidden show producer from The Flash? That was too perfectly timed. EXCLUSIVE: Geomancer Coming To The Flash Actor Adam Stafford has been cast in the role of Adam Fells, also known as the DC Comics villain Geomancer, in the forthcoming thirteenth and fourteenth episodes of The Flash's second season, ComicBook.com has confirmed exclusively with the studio. In the comics, Geomancer is foe of the Justice Society's, co-created by DC Chief Creative Officer and The Flash executive producer Geoff Johns. Adam Fells was a big fish in a small pond until he joined up with the Injustice Society and bad things started to befall him, building to his death. A successor came along, taking up the name and costume, but didn't make many appearances before the New 52 reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 ‘The Flash’: a Return to Gorilla City? I also got the chance to ask if Gorilla City (Groddddddddd!) will make a reappearance this year, or if it was just a tease. Kreisberg said that it probably won’t be back this season, because they would like to do it as a multi-episode arc (and this year is all about Zoom). “I would liken the Gorilla City thing to Ra’s al Ghul. You know, you hear about “the man from nanda part” in [Arrow] Season 1, and “the man who showed Malcolm the way,” and then you met Nyssa, then in Season 3 you met Ra’s. So, it’s a long-term thing.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
