First Pics Of Wentworth Miller As Captain Cold In The Flash Released

October 11, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

wentworth-miller-flash-pic1A couple of months ago it was announced that out actor Wentworth Miller would be turning villainous as Captain Cold in TV’s new hit series The Flash. Now the first images of the actor in the show has been released.

Miller is playing Leonard Snart, who invents a powerful ray gun that freezes his enemies. Captain Cold will be a recurring character, which raises the possibility that as in the comics he will put together a group of bad guys known as The Rogues. That’s particularly likely as the title of the first episode Miller appears in is called ‘Going Rogue’ (it’s the fourth episode in case you were wondering).

There’s also going to be a bit of a Prison Break reunion, as the 10th episode features both Captain Cold and his villainous colleague, Heat Wave, who will be played by Dominic Purcell.

Take a look at the pics above and below, along with a Flash trailer featuring Wentworth. [Read more…]

Is The Flash Going To Get A Gay Super-villain?

September 28, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pied-piper-comicsThe TV series Arrow may be fun (and very shirtless), but its actual LGBT content has been pretty mild, limited to a bisexual female character who for 90% of the time they’ve been only shown being interested in guys. It’s been a particular surprise as the show’s creator and driving force, Greg Berlanti, is gay (and incidentally dating LA Galaxy soccer player Robbie Rogers).

However new sister-show Flash may well feature more gay content. Back in July it was revealed that gay DC Comics character David Singh (played by Patrick Sabongui) would be a recurring character. At the same time Berlanti said another gay character would also appear in the first half of the season, but wouldn’t be drawn on whom.

Now we may know, as TVLine reports that The Pied Piper will be the villain in at least one of Flash’s episodes. The Piper, real name Hartley Rathaway, was one of the earliest openly gay characters in mainstream comics (although he came out long after his first appearance in 1959, when he revealed his sexuality in 1991 it was still incredibly rare).

Rathaway has had a couple of different back-stories, which means in his Flash appearance he may or may not be deaf. Whichever it is he’ll be obsessed with sound and famously in the comics invented a flute that hypnotises people, as well as having various other sonic devices that allow his to manipulate those around him.

He eventually stopped being a bad guy, turned good and at one point also dated David Singh, which gives plenty of possibilities as to how the character can be used in Flash.

At the moment it doesn’t appear the character has been cast.

Two Gay Characters Coming To The Flash As We Get Our First Look At Colton Haynes In Leather As Arsenal In Arrow

July 23, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

arrow-colton-haynes-arsenalEver since its started, Arrow has seemed more interested in luring in gay men and women than the young men traditionally associated with superheroes. However while the general shirtlessness has been close to gay-baiting, there’s been a severe lack of actual LGBT characters, other than the blink-and-you’ll miss it inclusion of Nyssa Al Ghul (Katrina Law) as Sara Lance’s (Caity Lotz) former lover. While Sara technically remains bisexual, we’ve only actually seen her in heterosexual situations since then.

That is perhaps surprising considering exec producer Greg Berlanti is gay himself. He’s now expanding the comic-book universe with The Flash, and he’s promised that the gay quotient will be much higher in that show.

Talking to HuffPo, Berlanti and fellow executive producer Andrew Kreisberg have said that gay DC Comics character David Singh will be a recurring character in The Flash TV universe, with Patrick Sabongui already cast in the role.They’re also promised that ‘another gay character will be introduced in the first half of Season 1 of “The Flash” — a man who already exists in the DC universe (I tried to get them to name the character, but they didn’t take the bait).’

A little bit more gay interest has been added by the casting of Wentworth Miller as Leonard Snart, aka Captain Cold.

There are big plans for Arrow too, including major crossovers with The Flash in the upcoming season. And as teased ever since Colton Haynes was introduced as Roy Harper towards the end of Season 1, he will emerge under his superhero identity, Arsenal, in Season 3. EW has debuted the first image of him looking very cool in red leather, which you can see above.

The Flash TV Series Gets A Poster Featuring Grant Gustin

May 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

flash-poster1It was more or less a formality that after introducing the character in Arrow and a year of planning, The Flash would get a series order by The CW in the US.

That’s now happened and in its wake comes the first poster, featuring Grant Gustin in costume.

Gustin popped up as Barry Allen in a couple of early episodes of the current season of Arrow, but he won’t don the famed red costume in the pilot of The Flash, which is due to start airing this Autumn. He may have already had the accident that gave him powers in Arrow, but he apparently won’t get superheroic until he has his own series.

Before now Gustin was best known as Glee’s Sebastian, who tried to steal Blane from Kurt.
