The Flash comes to Gotham for Zero Year

Over the last two days, DC Comics have been releasing details of the books that will be tying into Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's "Batman: Zero Year" story.  So far, I've posted about them here and here. Now, DC have added to the list of series with a new tie-in, in the form of "The Flash"

The issue takes place in Gotham City, and features Barry Allen before he becomes the Scarlet Speedster that he is today, and it apparently solidifies his decision to become a forensic scientist for the police force.

The Flash #25 will be written by Brian Buccellato and Francis Manapul with art by Chris Sprouse and Karl Story, it'll be released sometime this November.

I also think this cover might give some clues to what the key moment in Zero Year that links all of the tie-ins together is, possibly a breakout in Arkham Asylum, or more likely, Blackgate prison?

There's still one more Zero Year tie-in to be revealed sometime soon, but I think this is the last non- Batman related series in the event.

The Flash coming to The CW?

It's being reported today that an apparent Flash TV Series is being... there's no other way to say this: Fast-Tracked in it's production.

This comes after the success of The CW's DC Comics TV series, Arrow, featuring Stephen Amell as the vigilante millionaire, Oliver Queen. The series was created by Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, who are said to be involved with the possible upcoming series, as well as David Nutter ( Director ) and Writer and Chief Creative officer for DC Comics, Geoff Johns.

There are already rumours of a Flash movie set for release in 2016 and supposedly leading to a big-screen appearance of the Justice League.

I have to admit, I would much rather see Barry Allen in a film, but beggars can't be choosers, and I did enjoy the first season of Arrow. I think the best thing that could happen would be this leading into a movie version of the Scarlet Speedster ( or possibly following it up ), but I don't think that's likely.

This is obviously still a rumour, though.

Season 2 of CW's DC Comics show, Arrow, begins on October 9th later this year.
