Unlike CW's Arrow, which has kept its vigilante hero Oliver Queen street-bound as he should be, The Flash has opened up a world of possibilities. The show's second season will introduce the alternate worlds of the Multiverse and explore the Speed Force, and it's also made transitioning to time-jumping spinoff series DC's Legends of Tomorrow much easier. Many of the characters from that show will debut on The Flash and Arrow first, such as Hawkman and Hawkgirl, who we're finally getting a look at.
The CW has released the first image of Ciara Renee as Hawkgirl and Falk Hentschel as Hawkman, who are destined to be reincarnated through time due to their powers derived from Egyptian god, Horus. They'll be part of a rag tag bunch of heroes and villains assembled by Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) to battle the immortal villain Vandal Savage (Casper Crump). DC's Legends of Tomorrow debuts next year.
There's still the matter of the next seasons of The Flash and Arrow, which begin in less than a month. New trailers for both shows have been released, giving a look at the new directions they'll take. The Flash's trailer for season two, appropriately titled "Other Worlds", picks up after the singularity event caused by Barry Allen's (Grant Gustin) actions in the finale. New heroes and villains are emerging from every corner, including Atom Smasher (Adam "Edge" Copeland), Patty Spivot (Shantel VanSanten), Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale), Jay Garrick (Teddy Sears), and of course, Professor Zoom (now voiced by Tony Todd) is still around.
As for Arrow, much of the footage here has been seen before, but one thing we didn't know was just how far Ollie (Stephn Amell) was willing to take his relationship with Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards). Look closely and you'll see.
The Flash returns to The CW on October 6th, followed by Arrow on October 7th.
