THE FLASH Casts WWE’s Adam Copeland as Atom-Smasher for Season Two Premiere
In an episode of The Flash last season, you may remember that the name “Al Rothstein” was one of those who seemingly died during the particle accelerator explosion. Rothstein is the alter ego of Atom-Smasher, depicted as a hero in the comics. Now, the Atom-Smasher will be making his way onto The Flash next season, but he won’t exactly be an ally to Barry Allen (at least initially).

New Details on DC’s LEGENDS OF TOMORROW: Tone, Series Length, ARROW Tie-Ins and More
io9 recently spoke with the cast and crew of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, The CW’s latest DC Comics series that unites characters from The Flash and Arrow. When asked if the midseason show will be an “anthology” series or could consist of multiple seasons, producer Marc Guggenheim says, “First of all, how long the show runs is not up to me. It’s up to the fans. “Anthology” is probably the wrong word, only insofar that it implies that it’s like American Horror Story. That’s an anthology. The way we think of it is that each arc, each season, is its own separate movie. What we want to do in success…
