I'm kind of bummed Ollie seemed to have lost his fighting skills he picked up from training with Slade and Shado. He was kind of a hard rear end at the end of season 2 and here he gets beaten up by some gang mooks.

Supergirl is going to be on CBS and the CW has been very vocal that they want a third DC series. Will it be the Atom? Will it be Firestorm? We had hopes for a Suicide Squad series but with the film I doubt we'll get that now.

Oh god if they gave Routh his actual own tv show that'd be amazing.  Also, I just can't imagine anything coming out of CBS to be good, superhero-wise. They'd market test it into destruction. bobkatt013 posted:and Flash could take care of Malcolm in a second. No he loving couldn't. Barry's getting punched by some highschool dropout. he's a loving combat gimp. A ninja would wipe his rear end with Barry. It's annoying his powers are JUST as loosely defined on teh show as they are in the comics.

I think he was planning on getting beat up so they might drag him wherever they were holding his hong kong handler. Then the wifey just cut in and... CUT in.

bobkatt013 posted:Cause using known properties is better than just making it up. Unless you completely ignore what that character does.  We need another property to put into Arrow. Well we have The Atom! That would be cool! Sounds great, but make him like Tony Stark instead of a shrinking guy! And keep his name! Will do!

Yeah I just think it's weird how they are handling him. It's like making Wonder Woman some kind of magazine magnate that everyone knows who her secret identity is, but she escapes the throngs of people around the world who knows her by putting on less expensive clothing and living in a cheap apartment.

They replaced the Atom and no one cared, then put him back and no one cared. OMAC owned but people didn't remember him, they brought him back and no one cared. Combining the Atom and OMAC into DC's Iron Man is hardly a terrible idea. If it works yay, if it doesn't work they can forget about it and no one will care.

Edit: I'm not upset that the CW is besmirching the name of the Atom or anything, I just find it baffling that they bring in a character and then supposedly aren't going to use that character's actual power. It's just bizarre to me.

There was that shot of him seeing all those OMAC drone plans, maybe the suit will be able to co-ordinate drones and satellites and stuff, and someone can say very meaningfully, "the suit is the nucleus of the whole system"

We had hopes for a Suicide Squad series but with the film I doubt we'll get that now. Alan Scott Green Lantern. The gay version. I unironically think it'd be pretty drat awesome if nerdy gay kids got someone to look up to as well. Obviously for many more reasons other than just that but I think his sexuality would be enough of a hook to make the concept stand apart from Arrow & The Flash.

But nope, they ended up making it Smallville levels of bad in that one episode. Made me so mad.

just finished season 1. Holy poo poo Oliver is a mass murderer. He'll just straight up murder dozens of people whose only crime is being a bodyguard for the "bad guys." and noone says anything about this. It's a real disconnect when he then has moral dilemmas over killing 1 single person.

The best is that he killed all those bodyguards (simple working class folk) while letting the kingpins live if they said sorry and promised to be good
