8 Villains Who Could Menace The Flash

As someone who has recently been reading some of the 90s Starman, The Shade showing up in any of the current DC TV shows would be pretty great. I'd kind of like 'Gotham' to use him as their 'ominous bad guy who won't show up for aaaaaages but who we'll keep mentioning anyway and is old enough to be able to appear in any version of the timeline', since 'Arrow' already took Ra's. (In saying that, Dollmaker is already in both shows so who cares? Certainly not DC.)
My big hope for The Flash TV show is that they do make the rogues have they do have that kind of an organization/semi-team spirit. I always felt that the Flash comic was at its best when it half focused on the drama of the villains. Of course, I've been re-reading "The Secret of Barry Allen" and "Rogue War" again, so that definitely colors my opinion.
No Captian Cold or Captian Boomerang? I know that those two hooked up with Mirror Master and The Trickster in the Flash-centered episode of JL: Unlimited back in the DCAU.
I'm really just want a remake of that conversation in the villains bar.Diablo1099 said:
"You're off your meds again, aren't you?"
"I don't need them!"
"You're wearing the suit!"
"So I am..."
"After you finish your drink, turn yourself in!"
"Got me again, Flash!"
Since he's magic, The Shade could be a good fit on Constantine.Frontastic said:
If I could read the look on Batman's face, he must be thinking "If only my enemies were this harmless and agreeable. I'm lucky if even one of them stays at Arkham for as long as they're supposed to." Can't say what Orion was thinking.Ken_J said:
Like Bob said in the beginning, Cold and Boomerang are already confirmed to show up in the first season. This is a list of villians he'd like to see as well. That being said, I want Mirror Master and Trickster in for the same reason.Diablo1099 said:
Yeah. I really didn't think much of Flash until I saw that episode.undeadsuitor said:
Although I wonder if this is how Barry Allen would handle it, since the DCAU Flash is Wally West. The only Barry Allen stuff I've seen is Young Justice (where he seldom shows up) and The Flashpoint Paradox.
Since when is the Shade's "character, alignment and power-set ... among the most frequently-altered of "name" DC figures, changing drastically as the result of varying successive crossover events"?
Before Starman he was a no name villain with little personality. Since Starman he has had a single solid characterisation. That is one instance of a change.
His personality changed over the course of Starman, but this was just character growth naturally occurring in a single series - no reality warping crossover or whatever.

That was my first thought actually but I'm not entirely sure how DC-y they're going to actually make Constantine. I'd almost prefer if it stayed fairly isolated. Some Swamp Thing would be nice.Darth_Payn said:
