Let's not put Ollie in that situation. Captain Mog posted:Yeah I definitely see a lot of "TDK" in Arrow, whereas The Flash gives me more of a "TASM"-vibe. It would be a bit jarring if every super-powered bad guy conveniently misses Starling City, however. I guess I can see TASM; I still get a serious Raimi Spider-Man feeling. There's so much hammy enthusiasm for the premise, and the entire aesthetic style is this colorful, staged, composed thing. (This is in no way an insult. The Raimi movies looked great; the things that sucked about the third one had very little to do with the style.)

Bad Moon posted:Ollie's arrow was wireless. You have failed to password protect your WiFi. It also just happened to remain stuck in the wall while blinking and going completely unnoticed overnight with the guy sitting right there. I'd say that's quite a bit more farfetched than Hawkeye's hacker arrow.

This is just an extension of the classic comic book problem. Every problem is a Superman/Flash problem. Keep all the Rogues in Central City? Why don't you put the whole world in a bottle, Barry?

Ray Palmer is going to be a recurring on Arrow and he loving shrinks and poo poo. We can probably expect to start seeing powers on Arrow more and more. They have a universe to build.

I, for one, would actually like to see a gradual introduction of super-powered enemies in Arrow. If Ollie is gonna eventually join the Justice League, he's got to be able to take down foes beyond normal human limits, and not just super-soldier serum knock-offs. Batman had Clayface to smack down on the regular. Fighting ninjas and Ra's is pretty swell, but I want just one straight up monster fight or super-powered rear end in a top hat that Ollie has to take down using smarts and strategy rather than brute force and intimidation. Doctor Light would be perfect, he's sci-fi enough and we've already had references to him in the show. Not supernatural, but I can't hope for magical characters to show up in Arrow, so wacky science ones would work, and it'd be sweet to have a scene where Ollie reflects a laser beam with an arrowhead and blows up something.

Why does he have to join the Justice League though? Why should the writers of the show feel indebted to the comics and why should the show end up where the comics end up? If anything, as a non-comic reader, I feel like it'd detract from the story line of the show if the writers decided to go out of their way to make the hardcore comic fans happy. Let them tell their own story. They're doing a great job of it so far. I'm so pumped about Ra's al Ghul though. He's a character (at least in Batman which I'm more familiar with) that's always skirted the lines between the natural and supernatural. The Lazarus Well thing. I wonder how they'll treat/address that. He's got to be one bad motherfucker to scare Malcolm Merlyn. Captain Mog fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Aug 7, 2014 |

Arrow basically exists in a world without Batman and Superman - for now we can assume that. And without Bruce and Clark, the Justice League looks VERY different. They've done an amazing job of giving enough fealty to the source material to give us what we need, but not everything we want. And I think there's a way to gradually introduce superpowers into arrow without it falling into camp. They did a great job with superstrength this year, so I have faith in them. The show can easily support superspeed, flying, laser beams from hands etc. - anything that feels vaguely "comic book science"ey. Where they might run into trouble is if they delve into the more magic-centric stuff. I hope they stay far away from the more mystical parts of the DC universe.

Yeah, his traditional story is as the first recruit of the Justice League, not one of its founding members. And I always assumed DC heroes rose up at the same-ish time. Maybe they'll just keep Gotham and Metropolis over on the east coast where no news ever filters over to the west coast (Starling) and plains (Central) cities.

Clancy Brown once played the flash, for half an episode of justice league where Lex Luthor(Brown) and Flash(Michael Rosenbaum) swapped bodies. The highlight was him acting like Flash trying to act like Luthor. He was coming out of the bathroom and one of the legion of doom asks him "Are you going to wash your hands?" To which he replies: "No... Cause I'm evil"

The best part of that episode was Lex-as-Flash in the Watchtower bathroom. "Well, I might as well take the opportunity to learn Flash's secret identity." *removes mask, looks in mirror* "I have no idea who this is."

If they shave his head, he would also make for an awesome live-action Lex Luthor.
