Flash tv pilot

[sprytel]

Definitely.

Glad some posters here enjoyed it, but there are MUCH bigger things at stake for the whole DC property here.

I won't risk spoilers in this thread at this point, but I *will* say this:

It appears one of the greatest "potential for live-action success" factors that DC has a relatively clean slate on (and of which Marvel has succeeded in spades), "the image of a cohesive live-action universe" is being tampered with in a sloppy manner w/the Flash pilot.

So, yes, I am indeed concerned. And (as stated above), my hold out hope at the moment is that this show (as well as any connected ones) are as separate from the new "cinema" universe being created as Smallville was from the Nolanverse. But the advantage Smallville had was that there was no DC cinematic universe going on at the time... all there was the Bat-Nolan movies.

So, yeah, after watching The Flash pilot, I'm m sensing something notably rotten is amiss with the decision-makers at DC, WB or whoever is in charge of this.

I haven't seen the pilot, so I cannot comment on whether it is good or bad.

I will say that DC has never stated that their TV properties ("Arrow", "Flash", and "Gotham") reside in a cohesive universe with the movies. "Arrow" and "Flash" clearly reside together in the same universe... as Barry Allen was introduced on "Arrow". But I think that is as far as it goes.

Frankly, I think the potential for the whole cohesive universe thing was out the window before the "Flash" pilot. If Superman and Batman exist in the world of "Arrow", they really sat around and did nothing during the Undertaking, or Deathstroke's siege?
