It's kind of interesting to see how the costume is almost exactly the same but not quite.

It is the same costume, look at the boots, they are still a little red. Which means he stole one and simple spray painted it over, which is kind of perfect.

That poster is awesome as hell and I think it's actually a shopped Gustin in the Zoom get up, so don't try to figure out who's Zoom.

I'm pretty sure we know who it is anyway.

So you think it's the guy that's dating his crush or Cavanaugh (or that they are the same guy :wth: )

I know Thawn is Zoom in the comics but they could change it.

Could be a future relative? But I think making Thawn a time traveling rear end in a top hat who keeps loving with Barry is more interesting.

Unless they changed it from the leaked pilot a few months back Thawn definitely has some sort of way of communicating with the future

And I still think Ed being evil is so obvious that'll swerve the other way and he'll be, at worst, a misguided good guy who 'let' the explosion happen so Barry can stop the Crisis.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


That's exactly the kind of stupid thing that bugs me in WB style shows. It reminds me of the CG Spider-man MTV cartoon, where struggling photog Peter Parker lived in a ridiculously lavish penthouse.

Thinking about that bad show and the cues it takes from Smallville has suddenly made me realize that Smallville just turned young Lex Luthor into Harry Osborn. No wonder that dynamic was so compelling, despite the show's many flaws.

To be fair to the show, they make it clear early on it's her place, not his. And in the MTV Spidey show, wasn't he living with Harry Osborn, heir to the Osborn fortune. (I know that's what he did in the comics at least, I watched the MTV cartoon but don't remember a ton of details)

But seriously, it's just an amazing apartment. Loft with a wall of glass, that has to be north facing, then another wall that's a loving transparent clock face. Next time someone asks me what I'd do if I won the lottery, I have an answer.

Yup. She lives in a clocktower. Just like her niece/daughter who has the same name. What's really sad is that this is the most subtle reference in the show.

It's her daughter, and in some versions that's literally the case. She gets the clocktower from her parents.

First actual promo images from Daredevil will be shown at NYCC later tonight (and probably some footage) and Marvel have put out some concept art to hype it. I'd presume he'll get a proper costume too but taking from Man Without Fear is the best start since it is custom built for a film/tv adaptation.

Started out bad, but the last seconds kind of redeemed it. The lack of focus on actual superheroes (like, in a costume and everything) is really weird.

Gaz-L
Jan 28, 2009
That's also a really weird take on it. Like, I get that they maybe wanted something a bit more 'protagonist' for Walker, and Bendis and Oeming certainly added that to the comics later, but between that and Gotham, I think either TV is a bad fit for that kind of comic-book procedural, or producers misunderstand the charm.

Nice to see that the show looks just as boring as Bendis's pitch was during that Sony E3 conference.

Why does it feel like every 3rd word was Powers and every 4th was gently caress?

Helena, the mobsters daughter, that was meant to be Huntress correct?

Well, every 4th word in the Powers comic IS gently caress, so that's accurate.

And if you mean in Arrow, yes. I believe they even use the name in her next appearance.
