If each episode opens with Garber eating pizza in a baggy t-shirt and sweatpants, before going into a Doc Brown rant about the Atom, or Captain Cold, that'd be great.

Will he be complaining about his crazy wife's invisible child?

Some people are speculating it's going to be an anthology show, kind of BatB for TV. I dunno how else that announcement makes sense.

So, basically Heroes with DC characters?

Earth 3; it makes sense that the Crime Syndicate would live somewhere dour and drab-looking. :v:

No, since Heroes was incredibly serialized and nothing like an anthology style show.

The Firestorm episodes of Flash already felt like a backdoor pilot so this isn't too out there news. It also makes sense that they'd move the Atom stuff away from Arrow since the suit feels kind of like overkill when dealing with the kind of villains Ollie has.

What if, in this Arrow/Flash spinoff, Sarah Lance is still dead but the character shows up thanks to The Atom controlling her dead body by jumping around on her brain like in that comic with Batman that one time?

Right, I misunderstood what was meant by anthology. I took it to mean "ensemble", which is just plain wrong, really.

Yeah it's really odd they decided to use the Atom for this character when from what I know of the character they have nothing in common other than being scientists.

I know this was planned to be Ted Kord, but was there no better fit than the Atom? Maybe they'll do the shrinking powers later on to make it now suitable.

The only other options from DC are Steel and Cyborg. The former's likely off limits as part of the Superman franchise, and the latter is a hair too sci-fi for Arrow so far.

Ah the nu52 stratagem brilliant!

Ted's gone and won't be back because that would been seen as making GBS threads on Jamie which would be a PR snafu, ironic since ~~they already poo poo all over everything interesting and good about him then shelved him.~~ there was never a Nu52 Blue Beetle series with Jamie, shut up.

This can only mean a few things and none of them make sense, but given that DC Entertainment might be giving the world one of its first cases of a collective stroke, perhaps it isn't without reason.

1. They wanted to use him in a movie, which makes no sense since there will be two different Flashes already.
2. They wanted to use him for another TV project, which makes no sense since they are now possibly going to spin Atom off anyway.
3. This is really a spin off of number 2, but perhaps they want to use Jamie Blue Beetle somewhere on TV instead, and can't have a young Kord just starting out on another show, which is still dumb if Supergirl is going to take place on a different Earth than the Arrowverse. You could just have two beetles.

What is Jamie's origin then in the new 52? How is he the Blue Beetle if Ted is alive? Also, I think Ted showed up in JL right? He wasn't even in charge of the company yet, his dad was. So I assume he isn't or at least wasn't Blue Beetle. So what the hell is going on there?

Entirely different characters in different universes is completely different from 2 versions of the same character.

It's complicated in comic book ways but it's set in the year 3000 where the pre-nu 52 versions of the characters are "brought back to life". This Keith Giffen interview explains it
