Idk if we'll get a longer trailer like Arrow. Maybe in a couple weeks.



grantgust: “This badass actor, father, friend, dude.. I love him. On this day in the past, he escorted me. Or something. @cavanaghtom #TheFlashSeason2”

Grant posted this, not sure what his caption means lol. At first I thought it meant it was an old pic, but I think it's new. Can't remember Barry wearing this.

^ I think it's a pic from last season, since GG says "On this day in the past..." in the description.

did that just confirm that Wally and Iris have the same mother?

so i guess he will be her brother after all. the question now is whether or not Joe is his father. i assume he'd have to be if his name is West, unless the mom had an affair with his brother or something. maybe that's what happened and why they split up.

by the way, AK was talking to EW about how Wally will be a teenager and how they're going to do him basically the way they did Roy on Arrow.

i really don't know how they can do that when Wally and Barry look the same age. sorry, but they do, and in real life they're only two years apart. at least Colton Haynes and SA were 8 years apart.

That's what I thought, but Barry hasn't worn that outfit before from what I remember.

Extended Australian teaser, nothing really new. x

Info about new characters. x

And Wally looks like he could be a teenager to me, he's also shorter than Grant. I hope they keep that height difference.

Wow, so Iris and Wally are bother and sister. Didn't expect that, I thought they would be cousins or something. Guess they don't share the same father then... we shall see.

it also doesn't sound like he's from Earth-2, but like his backstory will just be drama with the West family involving the mom. hmm.

doesn't sound like Joe's his dad, so i'm guessing she had an affair with his brother? or just someone else but decided to keep his name West anyway.

^I doubt it. Their audience isn't here for soapy family drama. The West story that's supposed to be prominent will have to have sci fi elements to work on the show. Like the Allen fam in s1.

Do you have the source/full quote? AK isn't the most reliable so idk what to make of that. But teenager could mean 18/19 and most late teens look like people in their twenties.

Other than that I pray AK is full of crap like usually, because that doesn't make any sense. Why replicate a failure? Both Arrow's failure, and N52's failure... um.

Wally:

Destined to become the speedster known as Kid Flash, Wally is just an ordinary teenager when he’s introduced in the winter. “I would liken Wally coming in to the way we brought on Colton Haynes on to Arrow,” Kreisberg says. “Just like with Colton Haynes, who eventually one day put on the Arsenal costume, I wouldn’t be surprised if one day Wally West becomes Kid Flash.”

“Part of the season is watching Barry mature and grow up not just as The Flash, but as Barry Allen,” Kreisberg continues. “Suddenly introducing him to a bit of a wayward kid who has some attitude problems and some authority issues and is quick with a sassy remark — all of which is very Wally West — and then watching Wally integrate into S.T.A.R. Labs universe, but also just the world of these characters, is going to be a lot of the fun of the back half of the year.”

Jay:

Known as the first DC Comics character to take on the mantle of The Flash, Jay will act as a mentor to Barry — though their dynamic is akin to the Han Solo/Luke Skywalker one. “There’s a little condescension from Jay,” Kreisberg says. “Jay is a little bit more world-weary and he’s seen a lot. He’s been The Flash for a while, so he’s a little further along in his career. He’s seen a lot of darkness, and it’s jaded him a little bit. He thinks Barry can be a bit naïve about the way the world works.”

In turn, Barry will bring out a new side in Jay. “One of Barry’s greatest gifts — and truly it’s one of Grant’s greatest gifts, too — is he’s got such an infectious energy and such a purity of heart that he makes you want to be a better person,” Kreisberg says. “As much as Barry learns from Jay about being The Flash, Jay learns just as much about being a good person from Barry.”

Zoom:

Even faster than the Reverse Flash (Tom Cavanagh), this season’s big bad isn’t a repeat of last year. “We wanted another speedster as a villain, but we wanted to do something slightly different,” Kreisberg says. “Reverse Flash felt like a warrior, and what we wanted this time was something more akin to a monster. When you finally see Zoom, he looks like a demon, and it’s really scary. It’s more horrific. You should feel like when one of H.R. Giger’s aliens comes in the room. The mask is really amazing.”

Staying coy on who will actually play Zoom — Tony Todd will lend his voice to the character — Kreisberg explains, “Like with Wells last year, he has a very specific agenda and a very specific and very clean reason for doing what he’s doing. When we open the season, he’s a villain of Earth-Two, and now he has access to Earth-One. Yet again, our team has created their own nemeses for the season. Watching how Zoom enacts his plan is the plot of the first nine episodes.”

Patty:

A police officer and potential love interest for Barry, Patty is eager to join Joe’s (Jesse L. Martin) anti-metahuman task force. “She’s got a very specific reason for wanting to fight metahumans, which we’ll learn about during the course of the season,” Kreisberg says. “She’s a science nerd, too. She really loves the science aspect of it, and she and Barry really bond on that level, but she also loves the action.”

“She earns her metahuman fighting stripes in the second episode,” Kreisberg continues. “One of the cool things about Patty is it’s one thing to take on bank robbers, it’s another to take on someone who can turn into poison gas, or another guy who can control the weather. At a key moment early on, Patty is the only cop who stands her ground, and that proves to Joe that she’s got what it takes.”

So... it sounds like Mama West could have been pregnant when she left Joe and Iris, and Joe probably didn't know about it.

well, replicating stuff from Arrow doesn't surprise me at all. they've done that from the beginning with the team setup and Eddie as the sacrificial lamb character (ala Tommy). so doing Roy again isn't too shocking.

but what's funny is he actually said that he likens it to when Colton Haynes came to Arrow, so it really is following that formula.

I would prefer that, then another sibling swapping thing like they did on Arrow.

Sounds like Wally's gonna start out by sassing Barry, which is what most of us thought anyway. AK's comparison is probably a long stretch, like 90% of what he says.

Yeah, that was my theory. And I'm still thinking she left to protect Wally from Zoom.

That theory makes a lot of sense, but how would Joe fit into that? Did Zoom show up, tell Mama West he was going to kill her future son, and so she left to protect Wally without telling Joe about the pregnancy or the threat? (it's possible).

We also heard spoilers that they shot a scene where Zoom drops Linda from the roof of a building, so that could also tie into Zoom trying to destroy Wally's future.
