Am I the only person who’d actually feel bad if Jay said he was disappointed in me?
You really aren’t.
It’s like Santa Claus walking up to you and telling you you’re getting coal for Christmas :(
This is my worst nightmare… 8’C

mercury: i am a dying god, and the task ahead needs living heroes.
jay: back in the war, we had superman, wonder woman, and batman too, our “trinity of wonders.” Now… oh, we have the world army sure, but the age of wonders is over.
mercury: then let a new age begin. no longer within the void where i was held, i can see again with a god’s eyes. i can see the good and evil in men. the greedy, the foolish, and the brave. and so i say that hero stands before me.
jay: me? i’m nobody. i’ve just started to see that… to realize that i’ve got got no future… that i’m nothing.
mercury: listen, boy, as soon as you ran to me… as i first saw you, i thanked the fates that they’d sent one such as you to be by my side in these, my final moments.
jay: no, mercury, you’re making a mistake! come on, let’s get you to a hospital. they can save you— and you can tell the right men everything you know.
mercury: but i’ve already told the right man, jay garrick. i believe in you. you claim to lack a future? let me give you one. my spirit wanes. so too would my powers fade to naught if i let them.. but while i yet live i can pass them to another, my final act, my final gift…the speed of a god! now truly a wonder you are. use it well. use my power and your own gallant heart to honor me… and save the world!
So Impulse showing up in Young Justice got me talking about a Flash Family animated series, and after several back and forth posts (and several people telling me they wanted to see it) , I started formulating ideas, so here’s what I had in mind. Follow the “#Flash Family: The Animated Series” tag to keep up with this (if you don’t already follow me), cause I have no idea how long it’s going to take me to do each Season.
If you enjoy this (or even if you don’t), I would be super thrilled if you passed this around, and I’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions. Regardless, I had a ton of run putting this together.
So let’s see:
While in tone the show will be close to the DCAU (particularly Justice League Unlimited) and Young Justice, in format it will be closer to “Batman: The Brave and the Bold”: a revolving door of characters and scenarios (and time periods) based solely around the anchor of a “Flash.” Although I try to put a complete story in each episode, there are several ongoing plot threads building in the background across the series.
The show will be four seasons, each season revolving around one of the four main Flashes (but still featuring the whole family, although, with this being season one, I’m taking my time introducing them).
Season One (Barry Allen):
EPISODE 1: “WELCOME TO CENTRAL CITY”
EPISODE 2: “GLORY”
EPISODE 3: “GORILLAS IN OUR MIDST”
EPISODE 4: “FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES”
EPISODE 5: “ROGUE PROFILE: CAPTAIN COLD”
EPISODES 6-7: “ROGUE WAR, pts. 1 and 2”
EPISODE 8: “MY NAME IS WALLY WEST”
EPISODE 9: “CSI: CENTRAL CITY”
EPISODES 10-12: “THE FLASH THAT TIME FORGOT, pts. 1-3”
EPISODE 13: “THE TWIN CITIES”
EPISODE 14: “ROGUE PROFILE: HEAT WAVE”
EPISODE 15: “VALENTINE’S DAY”
EPISODE 16: “NO RESPECT, KID”
EPISODE 17: “THE OLD GUARD”
EPISODE 18: “THE BRAVE, THE BOLD, AND THE NETWORK”
EPISODE 19: “THE TITANS OF TOMORROW”
EPISODE 20: “FATHER’S DAY”
EPISODE 21: “ROGUE PROFILE: ABRA KADABRA”
EPISODE 22: “THE SINGLE SYNAPSE THEORY”
EPISODE 23: “MY FATHER THE TOP”
EPISODE 24: “LEGACY VS. LEGACY”
Episode summaries and character bios under the cut:
This is as close to a perfect summery of a Flash Animated series as I have ever seen…
I want it…
