Warnings: Lots of violence.
A/N: This is loosely set around the time of final crisis, with pieces taken from the Justice League animated series, although I have taken the new 52 version of the Golden Glider. Go ahead and consider this an AU if that kind of thing bothers you.
Summary: The Justice League has vanished, and with no sign of the heroes the villains have started to make their moves. When the status quo is shattered, how will the Rogues — the lowest villains on the totem pole — fare?

THE FLASH #23.3: THE ROGUES
Written by BRIAN BUCCELLATO
Art by PATRICK ZIRCHER
3-D motion cover by FRANCIS MANAPUL
On sale SEPTEMBER 18 • 32 pg, FC, $3.99 US • RATED TThe Rogues have their rules and their ways of doing business—so what do they think of the Secret Society’s claims that the Justice League is dead, and that the world’s villains need to unite? It’s a culture clash that won’t end quietly!
Won’t end quietly? That’s for sure! In October, the Rogues move into their own five-issue miniseries by the same creative team, Forever Evil: Rogues.
Newsarama interviews Brian Buccellato about the event. We don’t learn a lot more, but he does talk briefly about the choices of villains.
Francis and I were fortunate that Villain’s Month organically plays right into our plans for the current story arc with Reverse-Flash. During this event, we will focus on Reverse-Flash’s origin… who he is and how he came to be. Story wise, the timing couldn’t be better!
I wouldn’t be surprised if this turns out to be “Reversed” Part 5, actually.
As far as Grodd and the Rogues, they were chosen higher up and offered to him. “I jumped at the chance.”
I do feel a sense of propriety with those guys (and ape), because Francis and I have had the honor of shepherding them into the New 52. Ultimately, they don’t belong to us… but I am happy to chaperone them for as long as the folks upstairs will let me.
Finally, he talks about what makes Grodd a great villain. “He’s not just an oversized gorilla with super strength and speed…” well, read on to see what he says.
The post Rogues #1 & Reverse-Flash #1 Join Villains Month appeared first on Speed Force.
Help my heart won’t be able to handle this.
DC Comics is preparing for an epic rise of its greatest supervillains this fall with the seven-issue series ‘Forever Evil’ debuts in September as part of a ‘villains month.’IN OCTOBER, THE ROGUES WILL BE GETTING A FIVE-ISSUE SERIES OF THEIR OWN
THIS WAS THE TITLE BRIAN BUCCELLATO WAS HINTING AT
YES OKAY THE MAIN BOOK IS GOING TO BE WRITTEN BY GEOFF JOHNS BUT I THINK I CAN LIVE WITH THAT BECAUSE ROGUES MINI-SERIES
*SCREAMING*
5 issues focused on the Rogues! PLEASE BE GOOD.
Now I’m just hoping we get some more rogues revealed in the mini series. Maybe some old faces returning. ;P I’m probably wrong but I can dream.

THE FLASH #13

omg… Is this gonna be a big fight? Grodd vs. Flash vs. Rogues? Is this going to be like Crossfire? I think this is the one where Hart puts the cape back on guys. I’m expecting a huge show down oh please oh PLEASE.
Please oh please just let the Rogues fight Grodd. Its their city not his…
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…
