Who wrote tonight's ep? I'd be shocked if it wasn't Johns, considering how much he loves Flash/Barry Allen.

Story by: Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg
Teleplay by: Andrew Kreisberg & Geoff Johns

Even more impressive is that they made him cool without just turning him into Wally, which is the direction I expected them to go.

Absolutely. Was expecting snarky goofball Wally with a serious side, but they made him more like a very enthusiastic charming innocent looking nerd.

James Hibberd from EW says:

It's a great episode, Grant Gustin charms.

 

[Cornballer]

A couple takes on a recent conference call with Grant Gustin and the Arrow producers:

- IGN: Grant Gustin and the Producers on Bringing The Flash to Life and the Plans for the Spinoff
- Comic Book Resources: "Arrow" Team Calls Grant Gustin "The Perfect Flash"

 

[Joni]

My Blu-Ray box of the first season has arrived. Looking forward to rewatching it.

Once again, Nightwing is confirmed. I think?

Towards the end of the Q&A session, Kreisberg also field a question concerning "The Vampire Diaries" actor Steven McQueen's tweets last month hinting that he may be getting ready to play beloved DC hero Nightwing on "Arrow." The casting had been confirmed -- and remains so.

"He definitely picked the right guy to get me interested, because Nightwing's my favorite," Kreisberg said. "I don't know. Twitter's interesting."

Once again, Nightwing is confirmed. I think?

Well they didn't deny it.
And Blüdhaven was referenced umpteen times last season.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Screw Nightwing.

I want to see Dick Grayson Batman. Doooooooooooo it, CW, pleeeeeeeeeease, for me.

 

[Tabby]

Screw Nightwing.

I want to see Dick Grayson Batman. Doooooooooooo it, CW, pleeeeeeeeeease, for me.

Dick as Batman.
Damien as Robin.

I would flip.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Dick as Batman.
Damien as Robin.

I would flip.

Would love it if Damien and Oliver got on hilariously well, and Dick was left out, watching his murder buddies stomp crime in the dirt.

Well Damien is pretty damn moody, I'd love to see that.
Damien and Oliver out break necks and Dick is just running around trying to stop them.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Well Damien is pretty damn moody, I'd love to see that.
Damien and Oliver out break necks and Dick is just running around trying to stop them.

Damien: "Oliver! Oliver, watch this!"

Oliver: "Sure, little buddy."

*decapitates Brother Blood*

Oliver: "Hahahaha, oh my God, that was awesome."

Dick: "Oh my God, what the hell are you two doing!?"



It'd be like that scene with Quentin Lance losing his shit during Count's lawyer's interrogation, but so much funnier.

"He definitely picked the right guy to get me interested, because Nightwing's my favorite," Kreisberg said. "I don't know. Twitter's interesting."

I don't see how it's confirmed. Again. (does that site just not know what the word "confirmed" means?)

The producer says "He (McQueen) definitely picked the right guy (Nightwing) to get me interested," meaning Steve McQueen JrJr is fucking around on twitter saying he wants to be on the show as Nightwing. Then he follows it up with "I don't know. Twitter's interesting." Which makes it sound like McQueen's messing around even more.

So yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[Snake]

I still can't help but crack up when I think of Jeremy from The Vampire Diaries as Nightwing.

"Dick, your poor grades are starting to embarrass this family. My parents are dead too and you don't see me using that as an excuse."
"You were expelled on your first day back at school. Great job, Nightwing."
"So you opened the Joker's cell and let him escape, all because he said he'd let you see your girlfriend one last time? Jesus Christ, Dick, you've known her for three days!"
"We're telling everyone that you were the one who burned our house down, Dick. No one will doubt it."

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Tonight's the night!

Good Lord, there are some serious Grant Gustin shirtless Flash fan arts out there.

 

[Zero315]

"Does your mother know you are here?"
Fantastic.

Oh, and Felicity/Barry. Love it.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Oh, yeah. Felicity wants to jump Barry. Bad. And Ollie ain't feelin' it. LOL.

 

[ReiGun]

First ten minutes like daggers in the heart of Olicity shippers.

Barry ran up in there like "It's Mr. Steal Yo Girllllll!"

 

[Zero315]

I love the whimsical music that plays whenever Barry is around.

 

[Xevren]

I love the whimsical music that plays whenever Barry is around.

Me too, it's great.

 

[ReiGun]

Stay free, Ollie.

 

[Rokam]

A real man would have surfed on the car door.

Slade's gonna get the injection without a sedative, then go super Saiyan on Ivo's men. And it won't be pretty.

 

[Penguin]

They aren't hiding from his youthful appearance

"They will card him at the bar."

 

[Magwik]

Slade getting suped up.
