I find Bobbi more interesting than May. They could have both been the same boring robotic character, but Bobbi was at least allowed a human personality. I get that they tried to explain why May is the way she is, but she's BOOORING. Ward was boring too but he became the best character on the show when they gave him a personality.

Sounds like there aren't any long term plans for Captain Cold and Heat Wave on TV as Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell have signed on for a Prison Break revival.

Seems that after Legends of Tomorrow they will be just guesting if they appear at all on Flash/Arrow. People star in one show and guest in another all the time. Its also a limited series, so it could be filmed during the Summer.

It's been a while since I have seen Cap Cold's first episode, but does he actually kill multiple people at some point? That has been my only hang up with the character, since it goes against every portrayal I have seen of him so far. I've always thought of him as a villain with a strict code of honor. It would be better if I was remembering it wrong, but I feel like he definitely killed at least one cop.

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


Villains that don't kill simply aren't a thing in modern superhero media, I'm afraid. I honestly can't think of any non-joke ones that don't kill. There was that British Joker guy, but guess what happened to him.

He does kill, it's just he tries not to

Also are people serious that since guest characters are on other shows that means that they will not be on others?

They'll probably be around just as much as the first two seasons, this just means they won't be getting an expanded part.

He kills one of his minions in his debut, then he kills Laser Eyes, and then he just killed his dad earlier this season.

Yeah. But if we discount Batman on the technicality that he's not a superhero, it's actually Season 2 of Iron Man.

Please do not sass the voice acting of the 90s Marvel shows, aka the only genuinely great thing about them. Even Kevin Conroy's Batman isn't nearly as iconic as Cathal J. Dodd's Wolverine or Christopher Daniel Barnes' Spider-man.

I bet they're also contracted for the initial 13 episodes of LoT and an optioned back 9 if it's a huge hit. They won't be free to do PB for a while yet anyways.

I think Legends is meant to be a 13-episode mid-season series, kind of like Agent Carter, how that show is only meant to be a mid-season replacement for Agents of SHIELD, except Legends is a spinoff rather than a replacement. I don't believe there's any plan for a back nine for it, although it might get a second season (with Constantine, I hope) if it does well.

Just make season 2 justice League dark. Have Constantine, Zatanna, Phantom Stranger going round solving poo poo and doing magic. Hell make it a crossover with supernatural, have Constantine punch Castel for stealing his style.

His main thing is that he avoids unnecessary killing in the show. He iced one guy when finding out how fast Flash was (answer: not quite fast enough), I think the closest he got to mass-murder was the train scene, but he was pretty sure Flash could save them all while giving him cover to escape.

They maybe need to consider dropping the "two per year" strategy with Marvel shows at this point, or we will never see new seasons of successful shows.

Finally catching up at the very end of Daredevil and blowing through Jessica Jones. I'm really really happy I took a chance on Jessica Jones. It's turning out to be even better then DareDevil was. I had initially given it a low priority due to not knowing the characters, but taking a chance is worth it sometimes.

Not really a rumor if the likes of Deadline and THR are reporting it. Finally, a Marvel show I don't have to bother watching at all!

Reminder that Bernthal thinks it's great rather than horrifying that a judge/jury/executioner vigilante character is a role model to much of the military and law enforcement.

Iron Fist has never had a date more specific than "TBA." Probably early 2017 at this point.
