As The Flash/Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) once again faces off against his greatest enemy, Eobard Thawne/The Reverse Flash (Tom Cavanagh), we get an episode filled with flashbacks, swashbuckling adventure, and. . . superhero fitbits? It all works, even though it feels like, despite all the fireworks, the show is a little bit running in place. […]
Grant Gustin has joined the new film Operation Blue Eyes, a film bout the kidnapping of Frank Sinatra Jr.'s son in 1963. Gustin will play Barry Keenan, who orchestrated the entire kidnapping. Actor Joe Mantega will direct the film from a script by Bradley Barth and Joseph Nasser. The plot takes place in December of […]
Never expect The Flash to rest on their laurels. Only a few weeks out after "Crisis" and Barry Allen [Grant Gustin] is facing another existential threat, this time to the very Speed Force itself. A return from Wally West/Kid Flash [Keiynan Lonsdale] coincides with Cisco's [Carlos Valdes] return from his fact-finding mission, replete with knowledge […]
In The Flash this week, it's Ralph Dibney's (Hartley Sawyer) elongated world, and we're just a part of it. In a noir-inspired main storyline, Ralph tracks down the elusive Sue Dearborn (Natalie Dreyfuss), whom he has been investigating for months. She's looking for a way to get back at her ex, arms dealer John Loring, […]
The CW's The Flash is back post-"Crisis" and dealing with their new world in an episode focused on Iris (Candice Owens) and her journalistic exploits. Meanwhile, Barry (Grant Gustin) and guest star Diggle (David Ramsey) investigate a final clue left by Oliver. First, I need to salute the real heroes: the folks at The CW […]
Now that the dust has settled from "Crisis on Infinite Earths" – and The CW's Arrowverse is a bit more "cozier" because of it – the changes are starting to be felt across all of our shows. Arrow ended its run in grand fashion after eight seasons – only to become Green Arrow and the […]
"Crisis on Infinite Earths" has been ruddy with cameos. But none of them were quite as satisfying or momentous as that of scribe Marv Wolfman, who penned the original Crisis on Infinite Earths comics as well as dozens of other foundational comics to the DC universe. In the same way, Wolfman's cameo was instrumental in […]
After three nights of Crisis, I have never felt so happy with three hours of television, so upset at how it ended, so angry I have to wait an entire month on a cliffhanger to find out how it ends. The third episode takes us to The Flash, and a ton happens to Team Flash […]
We've officially reached December, folks – which means The CW's "Arrowverse" shows are in full swing at this point. Arrow is shuffling off the network's programming coil after an abbreviated 10-episode eighth season (making The Flash the "elder states-show" of the "Arrowverse"), Ruby Rose-starrer Batwoman joined the family alongside Supergirl and expanded the Batman mythos […]
What if The Flash did The Walking Dead? As Bloodwork (Sendhil Ramamurthy) unleashes his blood zombies on Central City, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) goes Dark Flash in our final pre-"Crisis" episode. It plays with a lot of the tropes of the zombie genre while wrapping up its loose ends just in time for the skies […]
With only two "days" left until "Crisis" hits The CW's Arrowverse, on The Flash we're getting down to the wire on how much Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) can prep his family and team to live without him. And building off of last week's cliffhanger of Dr. Ramsey Rosso (Sendhil Ramamurthy) attacking Ralph (Hartley Sawyer), we jump […]
Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) continues his long goodbye on this week's episode of The Flash. In "License to Elongate," we get a silly, James-Bond-inspired caper that very perfectly matches the tone and skillset of Dibney, Ralph Dibney (Hartley Sawyer) aka The Elongated Man. All of this wraps into Barry's continued attempts to make sure that […]
This week's episode of The CW's The Flash provides a lot of conflict and a lot of tears as Team Flash deals with the impending loss of Barry (Grant Gustin) in the coming Crisis. While Barry looks for a way to save Dr. Ramsey Rosso (Sendil Rammamurthy), Cisco (Carlos Valdes) is trying to find a […]
It's a very Halloween episode on this week's The Flash – and to make it even more spooooky, we highlight the full villain turn of Ramsey Rosso (Sendhil Ramamurthy) as he embraces his inner Bloodwork after last week's reveal. Here's a look at how The CW is rolling out this week's outing: "The Flash" season 6, […]
The Flash/Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) grapples with his own mortality and tries to prepare Team Flash for life without him in this week's "Dead Man Running," but the real gem of the episode is the B-storyline where Ralph (Hartley Sawyer) reunites with his mother… and wackiness ensues as they go through Central City's seedy underbelly. […]
We've officially made it to one of the greatest months of the year: October – which means The CW's "Arrowverse" shows have started sticking some sweet superhero three-point landings with the returns fans have seen so far. Arrow is shuffling off the network's programming coil after an abbreviated 10-episode eighth season (making The Flash the […]

The CW's The Flash is back in its sixth season premiere, and while the story was very on-brand for the show, it got off to an uncharacteristically… ahhem… slow start. While Barry (Grant Gustin) and Iris (Candice Patten) deal with the loss of their daughter Nora, the team has to solve the mystery of miniature […]
We're T-minus two weeks from the start of the new seasons in The CW's Arrowverse, and as we get closer and closer to the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover mayhem this December, it's time to break out ye olde prognostication stick and "divine" for you exactly what will happen. To be clear, these aren't spoilers. […]
With the September days upon us, now's as good a time as any to update ourselves on pre-season news before The CW's "Arrowverse" shows return. With Arrow shuffling off the network's programming coil after an abbreviated eighth season (making The Flash the "elder states-show" of the "Arrowverse" as it speeds into its sixth season), Ruby […]
