muscles like this? posted:I could see him guest starring in a couple of episodes. Also going to have kind of a downer of an ending because you know no matter what they fail to stop Hydra infiltration of SHIELD. It will also be a downer because the entire cast will die of old age, but I guess they'll win WWII, so that will be cool.

TNT has a Titans pilot in the works with Nightwing as the lead.quote:Warner Bros. TV is rapidly expanding its live-action DC Comics TV universe. This season, it is going from one to four primetime series, returning Arrow and freshmen The Flash, Gotham and Constantine, and already is prepping another major broadcast franchise with Supergirl. Now the studio is expanding the DC brand to cable drama with Titans, a project that is nearing a pilot order at TNT. Titans is one of three TNT drama pilots stuck on the runaway, awaiting a formal green light as the network is undergoing a regime change. The other two are Lumen from Amblin TV and the Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay-produced Cocaine Cowboys. http://deadline.com/2014/09/titans-show-dc-comics-tnt-pilot-order-833189/

gently caress that, I want DC to do a comic adaptation of COCAINE COWBOYS. (I know the actual premise won't be anywhere near as awesome as that sounds.)

Akiva Goldsman's writing career has featured both good and bad stuff so looking at his resume it's kind of a wash. The only really bad sign is that he was responsible for two bad Batman movies and that's his only superhero experience. I guess we'll just have to hope for the best.

Fringe was very comic-booky at times (in the best way), and sometimes straight-out superheroey, minus the costumes and code names.

Anna Torv is still my dream Carol. She was pretty wooden in early episodes, but by season 2 she really improved her acting, and when there are two Olivia's running around, but both are very different people it's pretty amazing.

Welp, there goes my hopes of having Nightwing show on Arrow is gonna be interesting to see their take on the Titans, assuming it pans out that is, I mean that thing about Hourman seems to have vanished from the face of earth. Isn't DC kind of bloating the TV though?

But true to form, they are doing it in the dumbest way possible, by having a bunch of shows with characters that are related via location or backstory, on shows that are not actually related or even on the same network.

I'm not sure if the 'problem' was her acting or the directing in the first season, but yeah once she settled into the role and got to do rad things like act against herself she really stepped it up a notch.

But so far every show has been self contained outside of Arrow and Flash. And I doubt they could have ties with Constantine or Gotham, the rumored Supergirl series I don't see it working within the Arrow universe and they could just pick a roster without Arsenal for this Titans show (they could use the cartoon roster for example).

Continuity is overrated. The only thing a massive shared TV universe would accomplish is add a bunch of unnecessary restrictions on what they can and can not show.

Which is exactly what is going to happen with 4 concurrent shows and a movie series anyway? Also WB has a history of doing exactly this despite never having a single shared universe for its non-comic stuff.

There are plenty of comics that can exist as their own franchises and never crossover while still having shows that do crossover. Arrow/Flash and any other CW stuff they decide will be the only things to crossover.

No people make that excuse because they liked where she ended up as an actress so it's easy to say that they wrote the character bland on purpose or in order to hide her acting ability for later (some people actually say this) or that they just wrote the character bland because they were bad writers. Olivia was bland because Anna Torv was not a very good actress when the show started. She had stuff to do acting wise that just wasn't impressive at all. She grew much much better as it went along though and it showed. To the point by when the show ended she gave a lot of the most impressive performances on it.

Waterhaul posted:There are plenty of comics that can exist as their own franchises and never crossover while still having shows that do crossover. Arrow/Flash and any other CW stuff they decide will be the only things to crossover. Of course, but that doesn't change the fact that Arrow/Flash and Teen Titans are kind of historically related to pretty heavy degrees due to characters crossing over, and that the confirmed leader is going to be the protege of another character whose history is being explored in another show and who will be one of the main characters in a new movie universe. Keeping everything separate is actually going to lead to more cases of character embargoes if anything. I'm looking at this from a very basic perspective of how much confusion and brand dilution this might cause for Warner Bros. Are there going to be 3 different Flashes potentially? Three Gothams? All at the same time? Will average audiences have no problem with this? Those are the questions I am raising and I am looking at it with respect to what has already been done on TV and in movies, especially with regards to comic book properties and Warner Bros. in general.

In any case if this project materializes on outside the CW, using the cartoon roster is how they could have the Titans without Kid Flash, Speedy or alluding to Batman.

You can have the Titans who aren't related to bigger characters ie Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Starfire. Thing is they want to have Nightwing too. That might be a problem.

Oh I agree that TT could be done without a lot of those cross over characters if they tried, but they are already talking about Nightwing being the leader. Key characters will likely end up having to be cut, and also, no Deathstroke? Slade is already a key villain on Arrow.

e X posted:Is there any indication that the show will share a continuity with the other two shows? At the moment no. It would probably be in the best interest of the show if it did though, since they would have access to more characters, unless WB legit doesn't care about having multiple actors playing different versions of the same character in projects they are spending millions to make.
