CW's Flash

Clock King as a Flash villain should be pretty interesting, especially if they borrow from the Temple Fugate version. A character who can plan a set-up so picture perfect right down to the second to such an extent that they can even out-predict The Flash would be an awesome way to have Flash fight an otherwise normal person.

I agree.

Interview with Candice Patton (Iris West). She talks about Iris's curiousity and secrets.

The Arrowverse version is that, but also with computer hacking skills.

What separates Tockman from Fugate in the DCU comics?

Tockman only abilities was the gadgets he used.

Fugate was in the DCAU and he had an intricate knowledge of schedules and routine. He was able to escape his first encounter with Batman by hopping on top of a train he knew would be passing below the roof he was on that very second.

I guess I know how Tockman survived if they go by the comics: While he was incarcerated, his sister died without him. In further misfortune, Tockman discovered that he really wasn't ill and was not going to die in the next six months: his doctor had accidentally switched his papers with those of another patient.

....wasn't that essentially the plot of The Killing Joke?

OK, not The Killing Joke, but there was a Batman story where the Joker thought he was dying so he went on a big ass evil spree, but it turned out he wasn't dying.

The Joker's Last Laugh

That was the doctor that broke the news didn't mistake his file with anyone, he just thought it would be funny.

And I'm sure the Joker thought that was hilarious and congratulated the doctor on putting one over on him.

Do I wanna know what Joker did to the poor bastard? Keep in mind, I haven't eaten yet today.

IIRC, the Joker had a good chuckle and then gassed him. Been awhile since I read it.

Addition: Reread the trope page, the doctor did it as a joke teach the Joker to feel remorse.

@Halberdier: Fugate is a Canon Immigrant... well it's more complicated than that. He appeared in Teen Titans, and he was referred to as "Tem", heavily implying it's him.

The comics Fugate is a bit different, though. IIRC he actually has superpowers.

CW_TheFlash tweeted this image Today of Grant Gustin in the Suit.◊

52 Days till the Premiere of The Flash.

I know the when, but WHY did DC become so obsessed with the number 52?

52 weeks in a year means 52 comic release days in a year.

Anyone think Atom will be a superhuman or a guy in a suit?

Also will we ever get a real Black Canary?

How is the Black Canary we have not real ?

No actual Canary Cry powers, the Black Canary being Dinah's sister, Dinah being a Faux Action Girl. Really, I see why someone would still be disappointed, but I don't think too much about it anymore.

The Black Canary has quite often not had any innate powers, and its not like every incarnation has always been Dinah Laurel Lance.

@Didact: Maybe if Ray Palmer (confirmed for Arrow and played by Brandon Routh) visits Central City, he might get his shrinking suit.

You know the original Black Canary didn't even have powers, right? And that she wasn't Dinah Lance? And that even with Dinah as the Canary, her being able to emit sonic screams was much less part of her identity than it was in the cartoons, sometimes going like a year between uses.

...Guys, it's called playing Devil's Advocate. I already said I didn't care.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but DC is going to release a series of digital comics (entitled "Flash: Season Zero") that takes place between episodes 1 & 2. Including a new character named "Mr. Bliss".

Also the link contains SPOILERS for Arrow. Be warned.

Greg Finley will be playing Girder.
