After last episode’s brutal fight with Zoom, Barry is wounded and powerless, at least for the most part. His exceptionally rapid healing seems to still be ticking along fine, as he’s gone from not being able to feel his legs to hobbling around on a cane. But with Central City’s speedster out of action, and Firestorm out of town for the foreseeable future, this isn’t a good time for a new crisis. Of course, with a title like “Gorilla Warfare,” you know what’s coming.
The last few episodes of Flash and Arrow have seen quite a lot happening for our heroes and villains, alike. With both shows taking a break this week, its time to take a look at everything that has occurred, and what we might expect to see going forward. (Obviously, massive spoilers for both shows follow…
This seems like a good time to take stock in the various hero shows out there. Agent Carter finished her initial season with no real word on if the show will be back, ditto for Constantine. Flash is on another of those odd few week breaks with no explanation as is Arrow. Gotham is still driving ahead, and there are rumors of new projects all over.
Barry deals with a couple of love sick metahumans, whilst Ollie returns to a city in turmoil, and Laurel finally finds her place. (As per usual, spoilers for “Crazy For You,” “The Nuclear Man,” “Uprising,” and “Canaries” follow within.)
The Pied Piper plays Barry, and Brick takes on the city, while Ollie continues to recover in this week’s Flash and Arrow. (Be warned, many spoilers for “The Sound and the Fury” and “Midnight City” follow within.)
Following Ollie’s battle with Ra’s al Ghul, and Barry’s first real encounter with Zoom, Arrow and Flash return from their mid-season breaks to find their worlds turned upside down. (Be warned, many spoilers for “Revenge of the Rogues” and “Left Behind” follow within.)
In the coming weeks, I will be leading discussion articles following Arrow and The Flash that will pass thoughts and ideas about them from one long-standing DC fan to all of you in hopes of bringing us all a place to cogently discuss what we may expect, want, and even fear from these shows with each passing episode. But before we get to that as they return next week, let us instead begin our discussions here with a topic that I’m sure many have talked about at length, but with an edge that will perhaps bring some new thoughts to the discussion.
