CW's Flash

It knows who's boss.

Grit.

comic book magic.

(got through 23 episodes of young justice. did a liveblog of "Failsafe" on tumblr. finishing up the season tomorrow, I think.)

The question, will he complete the Hermes look by having the winged boots◊ too?

Much as I like seeing that in the comics, I hope not. It just feels like it'll end up looking tacky as heck on a live action costume.

I have to agree. helmet I can go for, but I dunno if they can pull off the boots in any way not meant to be comedic and tacky.

they could have them at first and have Cisco be like "Yeah no that's not gonna work, let me help you with that."

As long as he doesn't have that weird helmet he wears in the New 52◊ (which is ironic, considering on that Earth he got his powers literally from Mercury), I'm good.

Cisco wouldn't stand for it. He'd be like " yeah, nope, let me fix this disaster of a costume."

Then Jay's Cisco-equivalent tells Cisco to back off and not to mess with his retro sci-fi costume aesthetic.

Yes please. I'd watch an entire episode of that.

I really want an episode where Barry's out of commission —over exerted himself or wasn't eating enough or whatever, so iris and caitlin and cisco have to save the day. Not just get barry able to fight,but honestly save the day.

Not likely but I can dream.

Well, they did that in Arrow Season 3, but by then about half the main cast were superheroes/villains in their own right.

Well, Cisco and Caitlin are destined to be supers themselves.

Wait, so a situation where Barry's busy in Starling, and Team Flash fights without Flash?

CISCO DRESSED AS THE FLASH: Yes, it is me. The Flash. Uh, you can surrender now, thank you.

BAD GUY: Hey, if youse the Flash, why aren't you going at superspeed?

CISCO DRESSED AS THE FLASH: Well, look, I had a big lunch, so I don't really want to run fast now...but I can if you force me. So just, uh, surrender? Please?

Yes, every bad guy should talk like a 1940s gangster.

It would be better if he said: "why ain't you going at superspeed?" instead of "why aren't you going at superspeed?"

Depending on the bad guy his sudden change of ethnicity would be pretty noticeable too.

Also Cisco's like 6 inches shorter than Barry, give or take. ( I can find every other actor's height listed but not Carlos's, so I'm guessing)

Barry could be busy in Starling, or captured, or anything, I'm not picky. I just want the others to save the day.

(for all it seems like it'd be hard to catch and contain Barry, it wouldn't be that hard. all any villain would need is two hostages in different locations (or even just one in an unknown location) a walk in freezer, and some razor wire.)

ooh, everyone could get captured and Caitlin, Iris, and Cisco save the day by being underestimated—after all, they're just sidekicks and scientists. Caitlin has a blood collection kit in her purse, what else do they all have? betting some pretty useful stuff.

CISCO: HAHA THE FLASH IS HERE!

Captain Cold: Cisco.... take that damn thing off.

yeah, Cold would know in a heartbeat and just be like " really? really?"

Meanwhile, Lisa/Golden Slider shows up and just laughs at Cisco-in-Barry's-costume.

Either that or hitting on him in the suit.

Especially if she pretends she thinks it's Barry just to mess with Cisco.

I hope Clock King shows up again.

They really missed their opportunity to do a plot with a villain whose timing is so perfect and whose plans are so well put together that not even the fastest person in the world can keep up.

Though I guess they could do that if the Turtle shows up.

Does anyone know what Grodd's role in Season 1 was, I forgot.

He was in Wells' lab, he evolved somehow, Wells freed him, he captured Joe, Barry stopped him, and then he was just leaping around the city for awhile and disappeared.

Imagine if Caitlin somehow managed to pull off pretending to be the Flash better than Cisco.

(Caitlin uses the power of knowing biology and what the average human body can and cannot handle to save the day. Cisco uses PHYSICS)

Yeah, what did happen to Grodd? He was just sort of...Eobard's safety net for when he got found out, for distraction purposes, mostly. Hope we see more of him in season 2.

Cisco should invent and then wear bobby pins that break apart into lockpicks. and maybe invest in those saw edged one on side small hair clips. if he's wearing his hair down and needs to keep it out of his face, having escape tools readily accessible would be a good plan. at the very least, they'd make good christmas gifts for Caitlin and Iris. Cisco's the most genre savvy of the bunch, he's gotta know its been far too long since the last time one of them got taken hostage, it's bound to happen again soon.
