So CW’s Flash, the
best live action superhero show on the air right now and possibly of all time,
started its second season this past week.
The first season started slow and rocky but picked up incredible speed
to turn in an incredibly excellent and jam packed extravaganza of comic
weirdness and well written characters.
There was compelling human drama amid all the time travel and psychic
apes to say nothing of all the DC Universe shout outs and cameos. I’ve written about the possibilities of
season 2 previously but I wanted to take one more look now that CW has
officially revealed Jay Garrick’s costume.
Jay Garrick in the comics was the original Flash, created by
Gardner Fox in 1940s during the so-called Golden Age of comics. He was later reintegrated into the
mainstream living in a parallel reality called Earth-2, which was populated
with other heroes from the Golden Age DC was no longer publishing. So far his role has been pretty unclear
on the show but this costume speaks volumes about what will be happening with
him and even though I know this is old news keep reading because ‘Would You
Like To Know More’ isn’t just a column about reporting news, it’s a column
about wild speculation and in-depth nerdy explanations.
