I honestly don't mind as long as it isn't supernatural in origin. In a world with machines that create earthquakes I could see it happening.

Yep, they've been free with all kinds of changes to powers/backstory so far. The only actual requirement for "The Flash" is that he's a dude who moves really fast. No need for speed force, or lightspeed/time travel stuff.

As long as he's not literally making pants out of GOES FAST, then I think it will be less silly than something like a handcuff arrow or a zipline arrow. :irony:

I think the best route for them to go (seeing as how they do mess with comics when they choose) is for Laurel to become Canary and Sara to become some other, cooler, hero ala Robin becoming Nightwing in the comics.

Hell, they could completely gently caress with us, have Wade be a red herring, and have Sara become a gender-swapped Deathstroke.

Edit: Arrow season 1 was entertaining, but it was honestly pretty bad until things ramped up in the back end, and the last 2-3 eps loving owned everything.

Alright, that could work.
That's certainly the impression I've been getting from the critics here.

Not to say there isn't plenty of valid criticism, but people seem to be expecting waaaaay too much from the show.

In Arrow news: I'm excited for the next episode, how about y'all?

Aside from casting ridiculously good looking people in shows, the CW also seems to have a knack for finding people who are hilarious, gigantic dorks that are amazing to their fans.

Say what you will about Supernatural, but Misha Collins is an awesome dude, and I think Stephen Amell is just continuing that fine tradition.

He also didn't have godlike lightspeed in that show, in fact he had to work to get up to the sound barrier. They intentionally kept his powers on the lower end and had him growing into them as it went on, like in earlier episodes he had to grab a piece of sheet metal to deflect bullets and then later in the season he managed to work out catching them.

This, or something like this is hopefully the way they go.

There is one thing I know about Mirakuru that the producers said during an interview: the key to surviving the injection is anger. The angrier you are, and the deeper your anger runs, the more likely you are to pull through. It's why Brother Blood made everyone get psyche evals before he marked them as potential candidates. Maybe Brother Blood's 'control' has something to do with manipulating that?

So Brother Blood went to the Darth Vader school of ally conversion? makes as much sense as anything I suppose.

I want more of everything awesome. More Slade, more Felicity loving Smoak, more Diggle, more Sara, more Barrowman, more Officer Harry Dresden, more Moire descending into awesome villainy. Everything owns.

Laurel is the only weak end and that's because they aren't giving her anything to do. Now that she's not Single Female Lawyer fighting injustice, she just is sort of there. A way to fix that is as Slade wants to corrupt people Ollie loves, who better than the girl in the picture Ollie stared at all the time. Laurel could be that person to ruin Oliver's world. A Ravager if you will :unsmigghh:

As lean as this show is, I think you just trimmed the last bit of fat off of it.

Also, would ONE Batman appearance be so bad? Ollie in his darkest hour, convinced he hasn't only reached his peak, but man's peak, and he still isn't strong/skilled enough to beat the enemy. Then as he goes into what he thinks is a suicide mission Batman busts in and FUCKS poo poo UP. The two don't get to interact so it can be cast with any actor, and Ollie realizes he can be better.

Oh man, if they did anything like this, I could only hope they just go for it and like, cast Jensen Ackles as batman or something. He jumps in, kicks rear end, says like 1 line max (I think Ackles can pull off a bat growl) and then boom, bat lines out of the shot.

It would be, I think, the right amount of silly, and I think this show could pull it off.
