    Have to say Arrow is beginning to lose me - the writing on it is pretty bad now, there's too many characters, and the flashback mechanism is played out. It was great the first season, tolerable the second - but not everything ties back to five years ago.

    Definitely missed that. What about the case Gordon was handling?

    Yeah, I saw the last scene, but how did Gordon figure it out? That's what I missed. Guess I'll have to watch it again, but sometimes finding 20 minutes of viewing time is tough in my household.

    Think we're starting to see why Bruce/Selina is even more unlikely than Gordon/Penguin.

    Thinking back to episode 10 of The Flash, anyone else betting on there being an old Earth 2 Flash comic in Barry's knapsack that Iris found in her closet while packing for the move to Eddie's apartment? I'm hoping for Tim Thomerson to show up next season as Jay Garrick in a "Flash of Two Worlds" storyline.

    The full title of the Arrow/Flash spinoff will be "Legends Of Tomorrow".

    Live-action "Teen Titans", will now be called "Blackbirds".

    Weird....

    OK, so how exactly does the Omega bio-weapon square with Ras' promise that no harm shall come to Oliver's loved ones? And I'm pretty sure that even Maseo will balk at using that stuff. And under the current reveal, just how PO'd do you think Iris is right now?

    still was hoping it would migrate to SyFy or something. It was not a home run but I loved the lead actor so much.

    also, confirmed for the fall, Legends of Tomorrow

    At least one rumor had Lotz as a "White Canary" character but not sure how that would work. In fact, I haven't come up with any satisfying work-around for her yet.

    Also, no surprise...

    The producer took to Twitter, and said they're not giving up yet.

    Supergirl trailer.



    ...geez, it practically gives away the whole pilot episode.

    Episode? That's a season! :wtf:

    Don't like the bland character types at work, do like that she gets to do everything right away, did like the cousin jokes so far but fear they might get old quick, and understand why but am a bit disappointed that they removed the idea of Kara arriving much later and lacking Clark's human socialisation.

    CBS is putting it up against Gotham's time slot. Not sure if that's a good idea or not.

    Overall, I like it. Some unclear points -

    No secret identity?
    How old was she when she arrived? Clearly she didn't leave as a child.
    Will they account for how someone besides Supes survived? In the old comics it's explained.
    Similarly, Kal left as a baby and is an adult, she left as a pre-teen and is 24 or so - so there has to be an explanation.

    That said, I'm not worried too much because they seem to be doing some clever things with "why wear a cape" and "why is the grown woman called a girl" and so forth - good signs.

    The production team seems to have the touch when it comes to finding the "sweet spot" for transplanting DC characters to screen - maybe THEY should be in charge of the films?

    This has the potential to beat Gotham, I expect, but I think it's silly to waste the potential audience on a split.

    I thought the trailer looked pretty awesome, myself. But putting it against Gotham? There's no split. These shows will draw two different audiences, for the most part.

    And besides, I have a DVR and Hulu. :diacanu:

    Looks very good. Doesn't at all matter that it's up against Gotham. Who watches any of these things on the broadcast schedule?

    The networks still put more weight into shows being watched live, than they do ones that are watched later.

    Yeah, well, none of us have Neilson boxes, so our habits are moot.

    Don't need Neilson boxes if you're watching via Hulu or DVR. The networks can pull numbers from them. If they want.
