HUMANS, METAHUMANS, AND...ALIENS?

Although it hasn't been confirmed, nor has much been revealed about it, there is that small chance that the upcoming Supergirl television series could be tied into the "Arrow" and "The Flash" universe. Having the same producer (Greg Berlanti) makes a cross-over possible. Some will scoff at the idea, others will embrace it. Regardless, there are many possibilities as to how this could play out if it happens.

One possibility could be to have each show cover different type of characters. With "Arrow" we have a more human based set of characters, both vigilantes and villains. They don't have powers, but come armed with very high skill sets, capabilities, or weapons. Even when it appears that some have super-powers, it is usually injected into them and in some cases the effects can be reversed. With "The Flash" we now have metahumans. Starting with The Flash and will be quickly exploring characters with superhuman abilities due to the explosion at S.T.A.R. labs. We've seen Weather Wizard in the pilot, and we already know that Reverse Flash aka Professor Zoom and Killer Frost will be appearing in the series. So we have humans and humans turned into super humans. This leaves the door open for Supergirl and the off-world characters aka the aliens. Although we don't know very much about the series yet, it is almost safe to assume that there will be other visitors appearing both as friend and foe for Kara. Superman, Martian Manhunter, Brainiac, and Darkseid are just some of the many possibilities here. This series also raises the chances of seeing Green Lanterns making a television appearance. Sure it could all be far fetched, and never happen, but it may not be. Television series are a lot bigger than they were before when sitcoms were more the norm, with the quality of shows seemingly increasing with each passing season. "Arrow" leading man, Stephen Amell, has said that they are planning to create their own Justice League for television. So, I am sure he would be open to adding Supergirl and her world to the mix. Although I would "spin her off" from "The Flash".

If all of this were to happen, we could see a three show cross-over. Not even sure if that has ever happened before, so it could be historic. Which would be a pretty good achievement for the Nerd culture. Personally, I would have the cross-overs, but then would take things up another notch and have a multi-part television movie. That would be amazing, if done right.

!MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZ

As we saw in the pilot episode of The CW's "The Flash", Professor Zoom aka Reverse Flash is in this universe, and responsible for the murder of Barry Allen's mother. And as is always the case with the internet and social media, there's pictures! Photos of the filming show Reverse Flash in full costume, and getting the upper hand on the Scarlet Speedster. Rick Cosnett (from other CW franchises), is the man in the garb. How well he performs remains to be seen, but on a visual level, looks better than The Flash himself costume wise. Along side the casting of Professor Zoom/Reverse Flash, was the addition of Killer Frost. Who will be played by Danielle Panabaker (another CW regular). No stills of her yet, but if the pilot and the photos above leaves me not only worry free, but quite intrigued.

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT! THE FLASH SPEEDS ONTO TELEVISION

Although I am not an avid read of the Scarlet Speedster, I am a fan and have been looking forward to this since before even "Arrow" came to be. In a sense. I was a huge fan of the short lived series as a kid, and still am a bit confused as to why "The Flash" didn't survive in the 90's. Regardless, here we are about to debut a new series tonight, and things looked good before they even started. The episodes last season in "Arrow" were pretty good, and that was without there being The Flash yet appearing, just Grant Gustin playing Barry Allen. Add in all the photo stills and trailers that have been appearing since production began, things are looking better than good, they looking to be possibly epic. Of course, we will have to see if the story and acting are up to par, but then again I am sure there were the same reservations when "Arrow" began.

Like I said, not an avid reader of The Flash, but I am hoping to see certain characters appear from his rogues gallery. Captain Cold for starters, and I may catch heat for this, but I hoping he is more like the New 52 comic book version. At least style wise, as I like the updated look of Leonard Snart. It's*ahem* cool. I also hope to see Captain Boomerang, Mirror Master, and Professor Zoom (that episode should be really good visually). However, I am curious if we will ever see Gorilla Grodd make an appearance. If this was a movie, then there would be no doubt about it. Look at how well things look in the current Planet Of The Apes series on the big screen. It could be possible for the television series, it isn't as though they are forbidden from using CGI, it is just the budget doesn't usually have the room for it. And with all the zooming around, perhaps there isn't the room, but then again, perhaps there is.

Getting ahead of myself talking about CGI usage and such, when at this moment, it is all on the direction and quality of both the writing and the acting abilities of the cast. I would like to think that they will be able to do as well as "Arrow" has done, but it isn't a guarantee. It is hard not to talk about how awesome the cross-overs could be, but I guess we will find out if The Flash can live up to the hype tonight. Here's hoping it is not only better than the original series in the 1990's, but that it also survives those dreaded ratings.
