Yeah, but there's probably going to be a few crossovers between the shows (Actually the preview shows one, and the original idea was to have an episode of Arrow operate as a backdoor pilot).

Also, Tomorrow People kinda sucked.

Are they gonna re-shoot scenes from the pilot? I remember when the Bionic Woman pilot leaked and she had a deaf sister, and then when the show premiered she had a different actress playing her sister and the character was no longer deaf.

I'm another one who likes the Director's Cut of Daredevil. A big problem with the theatrical version is that Fox decided on a Feb release date, so they wanted it to be a Valentine's date movie. So you get stuff like Matt blowing off someone crying for help to canoodle with Elektra, whereas the DC shows him leaving her instead, and has Daredevil basically being the reason their relationship starts to founder.

Plus it has the awesomely silly scene of Matt interrogating a witness the Kingpin paid off AS HIMSELF. Instead of threatening to beat him up as Daredevil, Matt locks the dude in a car with him and starts driving around a parking lot at full speed. And I like Favreau as Foggy and Joey Pants as Urich.

I forgot Favreau played Foggy, that makes 2 movies where he plays a sidekick to a hero with (let's call it) self-esteem issues.

The one thing that Kingpin's original appearances that really clashes with his more modern depiction is that he's much more of a cartoony villain. He is so massive and Spider-Man, someone with super strength, often struggles in hand to hand combat. He has a walking cane that shoots lasers. But in more recent comic appearances, Kingpin tries to attack Spider-Man and Spider-Man just loving crushes him without even really trying and Daredevil has a good chance against him as well.

So I really don't mind if a TV or movie adaptation of Kingpin doesn't have him be ridiculously huge. He should be tall and intimidating, but he doesn't need to be huge.

To be fair, Spider-Man also struggled fighting the loving Enforcers around that time, his Super Strength has always been a little wonky.

Yeah. They either have to completely tie their hands and not use characters that are already on other shows, which is A LOT, while also preventing other shows from using characters that they want, which is dumb, or they will just have multiple versions of the same character.

You can't give general audiences too much credit. Do you understand how many people have honestly asked why Spider-Man is not in Avengers, or hoping that he will be in the series soon? They don't care to understand basic ownership and copyrights, so they are probably going to have a lot of dumb questions about why Batman never shows up in Titans or why there are no Batman villains in Titans or why the villains that do show up are so different from Gotham or how Gotham and Titans seem to take place at the same time, etc, etc and that is made worse when they find out that unlike Marvel, those everything is weird because WB simply doesn't care enough to not make it weird and not because of actual rights issues.

Of course they will figure it out eventually, it isn't that hard, but will they be taken out of the show by that point? When you have Sam Jackson and other guest stars on SHIELD, from the actual movies, and these scattered DC shows can't even share amongst themselves, general audiences are going eventually shrug their shoulders and say "this is dumb why can't they ____ like SHIELD or Arrow/Flash" and stop watching, even if the show is actually pretty good. TV audiences are ridiculously difficult to please or keep pleased.

I don't think people will stop watching a show they like because it doesn't have the right guest appearances. They might talk around the water-cooler (or lunch-table, whatever channel it ends up on I expect the target demographic for a Teen Titans show to be similar to Arrow and Flash) about how cool it'd be if Christian Bale or Ben Affleck had a cameo on Teen Titans, but if they like the show enough to care about that kind of thing, they aren't going to stop watching because it doesn't happen.

Eh, other than the whole "Holy poo poo, they're making a show about the devil" there really isn't too much in Lucifer that wouldn't fly on TV.

Yeah, there isnt much sex or cursing, and the violence from what I remember is less than your average prime time police procedural. They need to get the sfx people from Hannibal in if they plan on showing Mazakeen with her mask.

The only real problem is that they'll either completely drop tons of good stuff or change it dramatically because for a comic series called Lucifer, he doesn't show up as much as you'd expect.

Okay, what episode does Agents... become watchable. Because the first four episodes were godawful, but the way you fuckers talk about it make me want to give it a second chance.

Also, the comedian was terrible, but I thought the laughter was just Fish-Mooney wanting to sleep with him.

I think I'm the only person who actually liked the show best when he was just straight up murdering slumlords and corrupt CEOs. I got sorta pissed at that Royal Flush gang episode where Diggle was all "if you really want to help people, you should fight bank robbers." My inner socialist was screaming "No, keep killing the rich fucks who put the bank robbers in the economic situation where they felt the need to rob banks."

I still like the show, I Just liked it better when he was Marxist Punisher. And I don't like the season openers focus on organized crime, even with last season we had Blood as a politician and Slade presenting himself as a businessman when he finally reveals himself.

The problem was he wasn't doing that. He was killing their middle class bodyguards and then giving the slumlords a stern talking to to be nice.

I'm pretty sure he killed the guy who set his lovely apartment complex on fire for the insurance money, and as for the others I thought he dropped a couple when the stern talking to didn't work.

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.

Okay, I knew I've seen people mention Huntress was on the show, and girl in purple with a crossbow, not really many fit that discripion.

John Barrowman is just so evil, but still so charming, and baby faced. I swear, his son looks old than he does. Though I kinda wish I haddn't watched the few episodes at the end of the second season to know characters we thought were dead would come back.

I know its not really a complex costume, but I am impressed they managed to do a near perfect Deathstroke costume.

In her second appearance on Arrow, Huntress goes undercover as a stripper in an outfit based on the comic costume, that's less revealing then her actual comic costume

Anyways, the post was correct, Huntress's stripper outfit was a more modest comics one. Lacked the ab window.

And yea, that DD outfit looks like an early version of the outfit, the kind that the hero puts together out of stuff they have in their closet, before making a perfectly made and tailored costume on.

I think her stripper disguise isn't as low cut either.

He meant in the commission of a robbery. The amount of attention you get from stealing a couple hundred thousand dollars versus the amount of attention you get from stealing the same amount of money and killing someone is entirely different. He's basically Richard Stark's Parker with a freeze gun.

I would kind of dig it if DC's TV universe ended up with Supergirl "as" Superman, if you get what I mean. She'd be the last survivor of Krypton instead of Kal-El and she'd become Earth's number-one hero. That would be pretty cool. Kind of like how Oliver Queen is basically their Batman.

It'll probably not happen, though.

I suspect Supergirl won't be taking place in the same universe as Arrow or Flash, like how Gotham and Constantine are completely separate.

It has everything to do with network fiat, I'm not sure aside from winking Richard Belzer type joke cameos and the legacy Buffyverse cameos that any two networks have ever allowed a cross over like that and I really doubt CBS has.

Also not really sure how it's a conscious choice to be different than Marvel when Arrow and Flash already have done a crossover, Marvel has yet to do a crossover on it's TV shows (largely because there's only one on the air at the moment) and we don't know if the Netflix shows will be allowed to directly interact with the ABC ones (though that would be a lot easier pill for ABC to swallow).

Ally McBeal (FOX) and The Practice (ABC) had a 2 part crossover, and Angel was on a different network from Buffy towards the end of those shows and they still had a couple crossovers after, including one character jumping from Buffy to Angel after Buffy ended.

The Flash was designed as a spin-off from Arrow from it's original conception, the other shows not so much. It's entirely possible that if the concept came up of a Supergirl/Arrow crossover one of the networks would nix it, but I don't think it was ever a large part of their original idea for the series.
