The character chat made me curious and I started looking on them, is it possible than pretty Waller started with Smallville? Other thing than I found odd is Adam's Knight character since I can see the comics' Talon being influenced by him (magical serum than reanimates the dead, he lived at the Talon). Probably just  nonsense but I'll laugh my rear end off if Smallville elements actually wormed their way into the comics.

And she was at least 'TV' heavy (meaning she was a size 12) And there's always been speculation that Adam started as an attempt to slip Bruce Wayne into the show, and the later craziness came when they realised they couldn't do the reveal and were stuck with a character who no longer had a payoff.

The whiplash of the show's direction from when the original showrunners (who never really cared about Superman, they just got lucky to be able to slap the Superman license on what would've been a male Buffy show) to the other producers is really funny. Clark is suddenly written as 10X more proactive and investigative as soon as the previous guys were out the door.

He was barely ever in the DCAU to be fair. But even the DCAU fell victim to the Bat Embargo, didn't it? JLU basically had Batman and no one else from his books for a while, because apparently that would confuse people who watched Batman Begins. Aphrodite posted:Green Lantern, actually. Green Lantern was a special case, because there has pretty much not been one GL character since the Golden Age version. Additionally, the cartoon went with a lesser known GL and introduced a lot of people to the GL in general through him and kind of proved that you didn't need to be put older versions of the character on a pedestal to make it successful, so suddenly seeing Ryan Reynolds play the older, white version of the character was kind of a slap in the face to a lot of newer fans.

Its weird based on the style of costumes every else has, they couldn't have left her leather jacket? Its kind of strange looking how some of the outfits look really good, Dr Fate and Hawkman, but the rest are that terrible superhero costume design philosophy that you see now. Oh Zatanna.

Dr. Fate did not look so good in motion. And Hawkman's wings often felt way too small when they were on screen.

Seriously? I'm a huge Starman fan, and I would have watched Smallville if Jack Knight appeared. This list includes Star-Spangled Kid (Sylvester Pemberton), and it looks like he wore a leather jacket like Jack's over his costume and might have a cosmic rod similar to Jack's. Was that who you meant? http://www.listal.com/list/superheroes-of-smallville That list also left off Booster Gold and Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes), who appeared right before the series ended. I actually did watch that one, and they even included Ted Kord as a shady industrialist.

And as I recall, the Kid was mainly there to lead into Stargirl's appearance. I'll give you 3 guesses who wrote that episode.

There was definitely supposed to be a Starman series, perhaps produced by some of the Smallville people, but it went into development hell because Birds of Prey was such a failure. I remember all of James Robinson and Tony Harris' casting suggestions that would have been incredible, like Justin Theroux as Jack Knight and Jonathan Pryce as the Shade. I'm still looking forward to the rumored Booster Gold series, honestly. In this celebrity-obsessed age, a superhero obsessed with fame and fortune who still manages to do the right thing would be an interesting counterpoint to pretty much every other DC and Marvel hero.

No, JLU had a ton of Batman, just no supporting characters or villains of Batman. Also, as far as GL goes, even before John was the GL on JLU, Kyle Rayner was the first Lantern that got introduced on Superman:TAS. They were all about not using Hal Jordan in the DCAU. Y'know, aside from that one fantastic gag in the time travel episode.

No way, just have him be a regular teen with a blue plastic wristband that emits terrible-looking blue lens flares occasionally whenever he needs to use his "powers", and make sure he never says the word "beetle" ever no matter what. He can fight really poorly thought out metaphors for drug addiction and get sage advice from his physics teacher, Mr. Kord. And then it can be on the air or 10 loving years and never be any good even for a single moment dear God someone help me forget about Smallville's existence.

So at this point it would take an even bigger rear end-pull than usual for them to beat Jessica Jones to production/air. Bravo, DC.

Depends how the Netflix shows are going to be produced. If it's simultaneously, yes. But it's more likely to be one at a time over the course of 2015 and into 2016, and it seems pretty clear that Daredevil's up first, so they could conceivably get a Wonder Woman show on in the '15 fall season if the Flash series goes well.

So, if Deadline's sources are good, it looks like the Agent Carter series is actually happening. I'm honestly baffled by this, because judging from the One Shot, it'd literally just be a period version of Agents of SHIELD. Even with a stronger protagonist than Coulson, whatever happened to differentiating your shows?

You know, after SHIELD I should be cautious, but this actually sounds really cool. Since the MCU isn't using a much of Marvel's WWII stuff, maybe that means they are at greater liberty to actually use the already established lore instead of making up their, less interesting version. Give me Agent Carter, leading the Howling Commandos and the Invaders.
