With D.C churning more and more great shows like Flash,
Arrow, Gotham and Constantine it’s kind of hard not to get caught up in their
new and innovative world. Although we can’t exactly praise them for not staying
true to the source material even the staunchest of critics can’t deny that the
re-writes aren’t that bad. The
writers, thankfully, love us comic
enthusiast to leave in bits and pieces of easter eggs and reference to the
original source material that gets us squeamish. So for those of you who missed
them here a few bits of trivia I picked up while watching the flash series.
1. Speed force
If you are a true fan of the flash I bet the number one
thing that annoys you the most is possibly when you hear some uncultured twat say that the Flash’s
power is super speed. Personally I
don’t blame you and watching the first few episodes I had thought that maybe
they were going to remove the flashes greatest feature until late into the
series that Dr. Wells/reverse flash mentions it and instantly every flash fan got a nerdgasm. Why? Well, basically
there is this thing called energy (kinetic, potential…E=MC2 you know what I mean). The flashes power
allows him to tap into the energy produced by the forward motion of time and
space allowing him to vibrate each molecule to the sub-atomic level(although
there isn’t a clear definition of what the speed force is in the new 52 some
argue its origin is likely the same as most superhuman abilities found in dc
universe, a byproduct of the mysterious Omni-energy known as The source)
2. Cisco Ramon
Or as more seasoned DC fans know him as Codename: Vibe. In the
D.C universe Cisco Ramon acquires the powers to emit sonic blasts( the power
that Hartley Rathaway “creates” in the flash series). What makes this even way
exiting is while The flash is part of the self-sponsored (pronounced Bruce
Wayne sponsored) justice league, Vibe is part of the government owned Justice
league of America and is recruited by Amanda Waller to specifically be on the
team as a counter for the flash. He is one of the few characters whose
character is almost a mirror image of his comic character even showing his immense
love for his brother, the same thing that makes him to turn into a hero.
3. Caitlyn Snow
Longtime fans of the fury of Firestorm: the nuclear man
have been on the edge of their seats since episode one when they heard this
name reason being this is the civilian identity of the character Killer Frost. After an attempt on her
life to stop her newest discovery, “an experimental technology that might have
derailed sizable investments in the energy industry” she turns to killer frost
able to wield organic ice she has to feed of the “life force” or body warmth in
simple to keep alive. And who do you think has the “hottest” body? Firestorm! Of course. Cue love interest
and the greatest Easter egg.
4. Ferris air field
The friendship between Barry Allen and Hal Jordan (green
lantern) is legendary in the new 52 and not giving him a shout-out would be a
sin. Too bad they can’t bring in the Green lantern but instead they give him a
subtle nod by making Barry to train at the Ferris airfield, the work place of
Hal Jordan.
5. S.T.A.R Labs
Or as I like calling it Blackhole labs: because it is an unescapable
disaster in the DCU. Star labs has been owned by almost everybody from The
government: that supported project like Cadmus(cloning of super heroes) Project
Batman Beyond(a successful project that lead to the birth of terry McGinnis)
A-mazo and B-mazo and eventually Cyborg(Vic Stone).Star labs is also the home
of the red room the world’s largest collection of weapons All the greatest
scientist in the D.C universe have ever worked here including T.O.Morrow, Professor
Ivo, Will Magnus and Silas stone
6. Batman
You should all know this was the original inspiration for
this list, I just wanted to see a batman easter egg and if they didn’t have one
I would have fabricated one. Because he’s
batman.
Note:the geek trinity does not fabricate points this is just
the writer being over dramatic
The first mention of batman is in the newspaper owned by
Dr.wells where there is mention of a merger between queen consolidated and
wayne enterprises in the year 2024 a subtle nod to them being friends. The
second one is easy to miss but it shows how much the writers are sticking to
the source material. Dr wells speaks about Batman and says how he is carrying
out a dark reckoning on his city “a brutal violent vision of justice”. First a
small break so that all the batman fans can clean the nerd jizz of themselves.
All done? Good. In the D.C universe Batman is not loved with minimal sightings
and propaganda he is more feared than anything else and flash is supposed to be
the polar opposite. He is a vision of hope “The people’s hero” if you may and
if they continue on this path of making the flash exactly what he is(not a
batman knock-off like arrow)
So this is me assuming everybody loved Prison break and if you didn't either (a) you're a lier or .... no there is no other reason. Moving on three of the original cast of prison break Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell and Robert Knepper. and although only two of them are onfiremd members of the rogues it wouldnt be too bad to see the old gang back together
It g ma.
