SDCC '14: THE FLASH Pilot Screening Declared A Hit; iZOMBIE A No-Show

The CW was expected to debut the pilots of two upcoming TV series, The Flash and iZombie, and while the former was extremely well-received, the Vertigo comic adaption didn't even screen.

One of the most anticipated aspects of San Diego Comic-Con this year was the screenings of pilot episodes for new DC Comics-based TV shows, with episode one of The Flash and iZombie set to premiere. Well, Bleeding Cool has a source who reported The Flash was a big crowd-pleaser, but strangely, the latter pilot was a no-show. "A jam-packed Ballroom 20 played host to WB's Flash pilot and the huge audience loved it," they write. "It would appear the network has another hit, another Arrow in its quiver so to speak. I could feel the audience's enthusiasm and excitement. Another thing I noticed is a sizable chunk of the audience being female. The iZombie pilot that was promised wasn't delivered, with a Warner rep saying 'cast changes' are responsible and only a clip would be screened." Well, that certainly sounds troubling for the Vertigo property, but it's very pleasing to hear the Scarlett Speedster take off. The Flash debuts on the CW on October 7th, with iZombie roughly kicking off later in the year.

Personally out of Constantine and Flash. I preferred Constantine. Don't get me wrong I'll be watching Flash I just prefer more of the supernatural side of DC. That being said the first episode of Flash was great. I look forward to see what they'll bring into that show. It is interesting that iZombie wasn't shown. The reason why more people are skeptical of that show. So you would think WB would want people to get a taste of that show.

I think iZombie will be good, if they're changing things it's like with Constantine only to make it better

Flash pilot was surprisingly good!

Aww it's a shame they didn't screen iZombie, it actually looks like a pretty good guilty-pleasure kinda show.

@AztecaAguilar04 - T.I, isn't a hack. He is one of the few lasting good hip hop artists. Flo Rida tho, cant argue with that one.

I am cautiously optimistic as to how Firestorm will be presented in live action... Especiall on the CW. I'm cool with all the costumes thus far. Huntress is kinda meh... But Firestorm is a whole different kettle of fish... with the flaming hair and all.
