The Flash

Spoilers follow for The Flash. Write-up below the Zoom poster.

Tonight on The Flash saw the identity of Zoom revealed. You can watch the clip above.

My pick for Zoom happened to be Barry’s dad, played by original Flash, John Wesley Shipp; however, that isn’t the case.

Interestingly enough, if you go back and watch previous episodes, I believe you will notice the character in question wears black a lot of the times – Jay Garrick. However, it’s not the same Jay Garrick, as Zoom killed him last episode.

Yep. Earth-1 Jay Garrick – Hunter Zolomon – is Zoom.

The bad news? We have to wait a month until the next episode as The Flash goes on hiatus until March 22nd. Grant Gustin isn’t happy about it, either (watch the preview for the next episode here).

EP executive producer also told EW.com the following:

“Zoom’s identity has been revealed: He is Hunter Zolomon, a.k.a Jay Garrick,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg tells EW. “How all of that plays out and what’s actually happening, we’ll leave for after the break.”

“But we wanted to go out on this run of episodes with a big reveal, just the same way we did at the end of episode 9 in season 1, where we revealed that Harrison Wells was the man in the yellow suit. Zoom’s identity is finally revealed.”

 “It’s an even larger betrayal than last year in some ways, because they’re all going to feel like they should’ve been inoculated against it,” Kreisberg says. “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.”

Watch the super cool scene from last night’s The Flash featuring Barry, Cisco and Wells going through the portal to Earth-2.

Easter Eggs include a look at a version of Green Arrow (thought to either be the futue Stephen Amell Arrow or possibly his son, Connor Hawke); the John Wesley Shipp Flash from the ’90s Flash TV series, and the Melissa Benoist Supergirl (Grant Gustin is crossing over in an episode this March).

The second clip features Gorilla Grodd, Jonah Hex, and a Legion Flight Ring.

For a full list of Easter Eggs from the episode, head on over here.

Spoilers follow for tonight’s episode of The Flash, “Welcome To Earth-2.”

Update: Watch the portal Easter Egg scene in 4K Ultra HD.

 

Following last episode where Wells revealed he was helping Zoom steal Barry’s powers, Team Flash decides to help Wells by heading to Earth-2 to save his daughter.

Tonight’s episode is filled with a bunch of Easter Eggs and references to DC Comics characters.

Here are a few I spotted:

When Barry, Cisco and Wells go through the portal, three teasers are shown with what looks to be a Green Arrow (future version that is appearing in DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow? or Connor Hawke?); the CBS Supergirl series starring Melissa Benoist (note: The Flash is crossing over in an episode of Supergirl in March), and the 90s John Wesley Shipp Flash (plays Barry’s father in the series). Update: Better pics from the portal are included at the end of the article (and you can watch the scene here).

The Justice League mural in the CCPD is replaced by a Justice Society reference with “A Free & Just Society”:

Another cool Easter Egg is featured in the home of Iris and Bart Allen (yes, the Earth-2 “Barry” is actually named Bartholomew and they are married). The Earth-2 Barry’s mother never died, and the episode saw our Barry call his Earth-2 mother, with the phone having on speed dial: His Dad; his mom and dad (mother get remarried?); Eddie (Thawne?); Bruce (Wayne? – Batman); Hal (Jordan? – Green Lantern); Diana (Prince? – Wonder Woman). The phone conversation also saw a reference to Atlantis (home of Aquaman).

Other Earth-2 Easter Eggs and references:

Henry Hewitt (Demore Barnes) works for Wells/Star Labs (aka villain Tokomak).

The mayor of Earth-2 Central City is Mayor Leonard Snart (Captain Cold).

Detective West is Iris West.

Floyd Lawton is Iris’ partner (Suicide Squad’s Deadshot).

Joe West is a singer (and can sing in real life).

Caitlyn is Killer Frost.

Robbie Amell is Deathstorm.

Evil Cisco is known as Reverb and has more powers.

I think they closed the portal location that sent Grodd to Earth-2.

I didn’t spot them, but Jonah Hex and a Legion ring are also said to be referenced (update: see below).

Did I miss any?
