The Flash: Escape The Midnight Circus

157
TV & Film #201

Barry Allen is at the height of his powers and fame, firmly ensconced as Central City’s favorite hero – but when being The Flash forces him to let Iris down one time too many, she decides to call it quits.  Undeterred, Barry figures he can use the speed force to go back in time and set things right.  But something goes wrong, Barry tumbles into a new dimension, finding himself in a small bedroom with Captain Cold, his powers gone.  Cold tells Barry that he’s an unwitting participant in a televised tournament, THE MIDNIGHT CIRCUS, which pits humans, superheroes and rogues against one another in life-or-death games of chance.  Survive the competition and Barry earns his freedom, recreate the conditions of his original transformation, and return to his own timeline.  But to do so, he’ll have to rely solely on his wits.  And if that wasn’t hard enough, he soon finds himself facing his toughest opponent yet: Iris West.

    Didn’t expect this to be a comedy
    I like the other DC podcasts in this universe (at least I think this one shares a universe with the Batman podcasts) so I listened to this one. I didn’t expect it to be a comedy, but most of the jokes are actually funny and there is still good character stuff so it worked out in the end.

    That is not Iris!!
    Iris West is the love of Barry’s life and vise-versa, not a fan of how this is starting out… Tha Batman show was amazing and so funny and everything worked. I LOVE THE FLASH! Iris Allen-West is not a spoiled, self-centred, and a total B! She understands and supports Barry, they both are each others biggest weakness. OG Iris is my kinda girl- a good woman! This Iris is a C U Next Tuesday! Disappointed I really had high hopes since I l love flash.. guess not oh well!!

    A pleasant surprise
    I don’t know how the first episode got into my feed and I was not too excited when it started to play. But I was driving and it was a hassle to make it stop so I kept listening after a few minutes. I was laughing out loud.

    More Seasons please
    Okay um this is so weird. I do love it and it’s just so weird and cute. I love how this isn’t just them talking. They act it out which is so cute. The voices don’t really match tho. STILL WE NEED MORE SEASONS. Also I might be the worlds biggest fan Flash fan. Still the SEASONS PLEASE. Like can you do 9?
  • JanusTwins
    Pretty Good
    Interesting Concept. Gives off the vibes of an old Nickelodeon or Disney XD show, in a good way.
  • Jackaloper88
    Great start

  • Super Flash Fan
    Best podcast ever!!!!
    I am the worlds biggest flash fan and when I saw a podcast about it I was thrilled. The podcast is so well scripted that I thought I was there in the room/ pit with Barry Allen.

    Flash: the Midnight Circus is my favorite adaption of Flash
    Max Greenfield should be cast as Flash in the new movies. He is so much better than Ezra Miller and Grant Gustin. All the voice actors are great. The story is unique and great. DC is finally good again. My Adventures with Superman and this prove it. This is great! I need a Season 2!
  • Thewiffle
    SO GOOD
    Funny, exciting, and I fantastic voice acting & production. I’m not even a superhero fan!

    Flash Midnight Circus
    Love Greenfield as Flash, he’s kinda like Schmidt but not as cocky. The story was fun, I was worried about another time-travel story but outside of the setup it doesn’t bog the series down. I wish there was more & hopefully more seasons will come, definitely the best CBP I’ve heard
  • Fate wing
    Need more seasons
    Best podcast yet. Need many more seasons
  • Issm86
    Please DC
    Please keep doing Podcasts like this one. This one is phenomenal. The Batman one is alright. I didn’t really like how the episode were narrated, but the Flash one is awesome. The length of the episodes, the voice cast, the story line, all of it.

    The flash the midnight circus
    part 4 doesn’t work even though I have tried multiple times so I hope it doesn’t happen to someone else
  • nicewarlock
    Run Barry Run!
    This is great! Voice acting and story is awesome. And it's really funny too. I love all the appearances of the different flash villains
  • MrKyGuy
    Episode 4 before Episode 3?
    So far the story is interesting, but structure is ALL OVER THE PLACE. the second episode was like 10 minutes Vs the first that was 15? I wish they were a little more even in length across the board. Also, I don’t think we got episode 3? It went from ep 2 to ep 4, and I feel like a lot of plot was missing.
  • RaissaD
    Missing Episode?
    Enjoyed episodes 1 and 2, but where’s episode 3? I only see 4. Thanks.
  • Bat-Fan Mark
    A must listen for any Flash fan!
    I was iffy at first about a podcast story for The Flash, but it has been fantastic! The story is very relatable and it’s exciting and intriguing as the episodes go on. I love it as a comics fan and even my wife and kids have been hooked to it because it’s just a great overall story. Max Greenfield gives a believable performance as Barry and the rest of the voice cast is great as well. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an entertaining story to pass the time whether you know who the Flash is or not.
  • Just want a cool color
    Flash Fact: This Podcast is Amazing
    Love it so far sounds great and love to hear my favorite superhero get more media content. Anyone know what happened to Ep.3! Continue the great work! Also kinda wish these episodes were longer similar to the “Batman the audio adventures” also amazing and if people like this should check it out.
  • Erinln74
    Love it!
    The first 2 episodes are great, but I wish they were longer.
  • Audionerd33
    So good!
    Max Greenfield is the Barry Allen I didn't know I needed but now can’t live without.
  • mattsmith0622
    Great show so far. Max Greenfield is hilarious!
    That dude could read the phonebook and make it hilarious. My only complaint is I wish the episodes were longer.
  • bookmoviepod
    Give me more!!!
    I am on the edge of my seat throughout every episode of The Flash: Escape the Midnight Circus. The story twists and turns like a thrilling maze.
  • MCU nerd
    Episodes need to be longer
    I think the episodes need to be a little longer. I did find some Batman Easter eggs example the midnight circus is sponsored by Janice cosmetic center from Batman
  • john7689045

  • Bishhoopp

  • pw122456
    Fantastic

  • Fred the Goatherder
    Schmidt as Flash? Gimme more!!!
    I have been loving all the DC/Warner Bros audio dramas and it’s exciting to see them expand to other characters with Flash! So far this one is really fun, I love how fast paced and humorous it is, with amazing sound design… Can’t wait to learn what the midnight circus is all about and if Barry will be able to make it out alive
