The past week has seen some exciting news for the DC Universe currently planned for television. Two major announcements have been made this past week, one about the CW’s spinoff of Arrow revolving around The Flash, and the other concerning the future production currently titled “Gotham.”

The Flash

On Friday, DC released the first image of the Flash’s costume for his upcoming TV show (starring Grant Gustin in the title role). Notably, the costume has a red color slightly muted from the comics, and the lightning bolts are flat to the helmet, rather than sticking out (a nice touch of realism– having them stick out makes it way too easy for supervillains to grab your helmet). Take a look:

Gotham

The new DC endeavor doesn’t have a lot of information beyond a concept at this point, but there has been some new casting news. Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle (later known as Batman and Catwoman, respectively), will be played by David Mazouz and Camren Bicondova. The actors will be playing childhood versions of their characters, as the show will be taking place around the time of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne’s death– long before Bruce Wayne dons the cape and cowl.
