The seal has been broken and Earth-Prime may not be dead after all.
Late tonight, Deadline Weekly revealed that Warner Bros. Television and writers associated with The Flash have landed a deal for Virtue, a series focused on the Cecile character from The Flash as played by Danielle Nicolet. Nicolet is expected to reprise her role in the series, which will take place several years after the events of the Flash finale.
Jesse L. Martin is not expected to be a part of the series as he has prior commitments to The Irrational on NBC. Intel from the studio reveals that some characters fans have been itching to see again — such as Chester, Allegra, Khione, Chillblaine, and Arrow’s Raisa the Maid — might show up in some capacity. In keeping with the current CW lineup, the new show will pair Cecile Horton with a cop to solve crimes — but, of course, that cop will sadly not be Joe.
The official logline for Virtue suggests that Cecile will be a single mother who balances her superpowers and law background with solving crimes and being a mom. She will also reconnect with her daughter Joanie from whom she has been estranged for several years, and it’s expected that the Joanie character may be recast. Many thought The CW was out of the superhero business, but the producers’ pitch showed that her mental-based powers could make the show easier and more affordable to produce on a TV budget. It is expected that some of Cecile’s “level up” powers from Season 9 of The Flash will be toned down, and it is said that another reason Virtue has an advantage is that it doesn’t conflict with James Gunn’s ideas for the upcoming DC Studios movie universe.
No specific writers have been named for Virtue so far, aside from the notion that they worked on The Flash. Additionally, the Deadline Weekly article confirms that neither Grant Gustin nor Candice Patton are expected to show up on the series.
We will keep people updated on Virtue here at FlashTVNews under a special “Virtue TV News” icon; though if you’d like to visit our dedicated Twitter feed for the project, you can find it here.

The network was hoodwinking. She will totally be in the closing minutes of the finale. The only other possibility is that she’ll be in the Arrow finale. The spin-off is not even close to the start of production, so shes definitely not filming it. They could also be filming something for the upfronts.

FYI, Renee has since swiftly deleted this image and tweet. Network hoodwinkers have struck once again. Could not be more excited for this!

The recent promo reel shows RF falling from a large height and trashing a car upon impact. So, maybe a Hawkgirl in mid-flight picked up RF and dropped him.

I’m assuming that was The Atom…. since, if Hawkgirl even was filming, she would have just started.

That would be another reasonable assumption IF Atom was slated to appear, however there hasn’t been anything said to such effect. From the promo, we’ve seen Flash, Arrow and Firestorm ready to battle it out in (presumably) the finale with RF.
I’m guessing that the few frames of the promo that showed Oliver standing above an on the floor RF come AFTER the car drop shot.
