I don't know, Catwoman was intended to at least be somewhat cheesy. And look at it from inside the movie - if you were an observer, one is a chick with super fancy moves...the other is a BLIND MAN jumping around and dancing.

I would like a list of everything that has crossed over with each other to water down content enough for this to be a legitimate complaint, because other than Law and Order, NCIS and CSI spin offs, all I can come up with is the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It was mentioned a while ago, but every show out there pretty much is in a shared universe

I really want to like Gotham, because I love Donal Logue. The basic premise of the "one good cop amongst the corrupt" is a simple concept and could work really well...but yeah, they need to drop the Batman crap ASAP.

"Hi, I'm going to become Poison Ivy. In case you didn't get that from my red hair and name of Ivy, here's me stroking a plant. Because, as I said, I'm Poison Ivy and I like plants."

"I'm going to become Catwoman. See me standing like a cat? It's because I will eventually become a woman...who likes cats."

I do like tall Penguin though...he's got some potential.

In episode two of Flash the female STAR employee said that her boyfriend, Ronnie, was killed in the storm. I was wondering if that could be a hint towards Ronnie Raymond or not. Also Prof. Stein has been cast.

I'm not a DC person, but isn't the female STAR employee Caitlan Snow Killer Frost in the comics?

I'm trying to catch up on Gotham, because the midseason finale kinda killed the momentum, and I have to say, I find it amazing how, in a series with mob bosses jockeying for position, corrupt cops, serial killers and assorted lunatics, Barbara is the absolute worst, least likeable character in the entire show. I'm enjoying just about everything else well enough, but drat. I dunno, I'm only on the second part of the Gordon at Arkham bit (What the Little Bird Told Him?), so I guess maybe she gets better. But I seriously doubt it.

She gets better for quite a few episodes!

She's not in quite a few episodes

In a stroke of inspired casting, Rudy from Misfits is cast as Cassidy in AMC's Preacher. It's basically perfect.

Holy crap that makes me so happy. When he was introduced on Misfits I said "Oh man, if they make a Preacher movie he's totally gotta be Cassidy."

Now they just need to get Lance Henriksen as the Saint and I can collect my casting royalties.

I really liked Constantine in last night's episode but I thought the whole "been on the island with Oliver thing" felt forced. I would have preferred it if Oliver could have just known John for some unexplained reason instead of shoehorning him into the whole flashback sequence.
One thing that it did get me wishing, though it will never ever come true, was to have Constantine pop up in all the DC shows as a cameo just because. Have him show up in Gotham to help Gordon solve a bunch of ritual murders. Have him show up in Supergirl to help her when she finds out about her vulnerability to magic. Have him show up in iZombie because why the gently caress not. Have him show up in Flash to deal with some magic threat or whatever.

I agree completely about him being shoehorned into the island. I groaned when I saw the blonde hair. I was hoping he'd end up strolling into the city because he sensed Sarah's revival, and after the mandatory hero vs hero fight he'd help restore her soul. Instead we got Deus Ex Constantina. But I got another episode of Hellblazer so I'm happy.

I believe the logic is that if you see Green Arrow or Speedy (usually) arrow someone in the upper-body, it's a 'non-fatal shoulder wound', and Black Canary just clubs guys with her nightstick. No idea what the logic is for Dig, though.

Digg doesn't kill, just like Batman.

"Awful" is a big overstatement, IMO, but they'd certainly be less awkward if the creators were less oddly gun-shy about referencing the Avengers and their members by name.

I'm about halfway through the season so far but my complaints are the same as Daredevil. I wish there were more standalone episodes rather than a season long buildup (Like Kingpin in Daredevil), and the references to the MCU just seem so forced. Least favorite moment so far is the 1x5 (I think) wife and husband surprise "we hate superpower people", which I guess it's ironic that I didn't like being it's standalone

I enjoy iZombie because it does have a bit of the Veronica Mars feel to it but after a friend sent me "Oh my god are you serious she's a zombie and her name is 'Live More'" I get angry any time I think about that.
