I kind of love it, especially if they go into the legacy factor AND the addiction factor. Show flashbacks of Golden Age Rex Tyler getting addicted not only to Miraclo, but also the adrenaline rush, the physical power, and even the fame and fortune, contrasted against Rick Tyler trying desperately to live up to his father's legend while at the same time hoping to escape his shadow.

Seriously? I'm a huge Starman fan, and I would have watched Smallville if Jack Knight appeared. This list includes Star-Spangled Kid (Sylvester Pemberton), and it looks like he wore a leather jacket like Jack's over his costume and might have a cosmic rod similar to Jack's. Was that who you meant? http://www.listal.com/list/superheroes-of-smallville That list also left off Booster Gold and Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes), who appeared right before the series ended. I actually did watch that one, and they even included Ted Kord as a shady industrialist.

There was definitely supposed to be a Starman series, perhaps produced by some of the Smallville people, but it went into development hell because Birds of Prey was such a failure. I remember all of James Robinson and Tony Harris' casting suggestions that would have been incredible, like Justin Theroux as Jack Knight and Jonathan Pryce as the Shade. I'm still looking forward to the rumored Booster Gold series, honestly. In this celebrity-obsessed age, a superhero obsessed with fame and fortune who still manages to do the right thing would be an interesting counterpoint to pretty much every other DC and Marvel hero.

Holy crap, I spent the last week binge-watching Season 1 of Arrow, and it was actually really drat good. I was skeptical, thinking it would be another cheesy Smallville with plenty of beefcake for the CW-watching ladies and too much wealthy family melodrama, but it turned out to be a far more enjoyable show than Agents of SHIELD, which I struggled to watch all season. Now to find Season 2, and I have heard my all-time favorite superhero may become a cast member in Season 3.

I'll get over it, but I'm really bummed about the new character being Ray Palmer and not Ted Kord, my all-time favorite superhero. I first read the Ted Kord rumor three weeks ago, and that was the final impetus I needed to binge-watch the first two seasons of Arrow over the last three weeks. I loved it. I was skeptical as all hell for all the obvious reasons (CW show, too much emphasis on the abs, attractive but generic cast, Smallville 2.0), but it was incredible -- a real labor of love, by fans, for fans. I thought Ted was coming due to the repeated mentions of Kord Industries, and I could have sworn they mentioned "a fundraiser for Ted Kord" at one point as well. Plus, with the rumor that the new character would be a love interest for Felicity, that made sense too. Felicity was always like Ollie's Oracle, and in Chuck Dixon's Birds of Prey comics, there was a great, long-standing flirtation between Oracle and Ted. And finally, even though this was a long shot, I was hoping for Donald Glover to get cast as Ted, for multiple reasons. I thought it would be cool to get another actor of color to increase the diversity of the cast, especially a character who was a genius, who ran his own company, and who was a good, hilarious, likeable dude. Plus there was a minor movement a few years ago where fans wanted Glover to play Spider-Man, and Blue Beetle was created by one of Spider-Man's creators four years later, and he's another wisecracking, scientific genius, acrobatic, arthropod-themed hero. But now we have Ray Palmer instead. I'm sure the Arrow showrunners know what they're doing, but I'll be interested to see if we learn from the SDCC Arrow panel if Ted really was in the running and DC vetoed him somehow.

The only really bad sign is that he was responsible for two bad Batman movies and that's his only superhero experience. I guess we'll just have to hope for the best. Fringe was very comic-booky at times (in the best way), and sometimes straight-out superheroey, minus the costumes and code names.

I just reread David Mack's "Echo: Vision Quest" story from Daredevil (a fill-in arc during Bendis and Maleev's run), and now I can't help but wonder if Rosario Dawson was cast as Echo in the Daredevil series, rather than Elektra. Mack painted Echo to look so much like Rosario Dawson that he had to have used her as a photo reference.

twistedmentat posted:They could always use Power Girl in Arrow/Flash universe. I wish the new show was Power Girl instead of Supergirl. That way there wouldn't be any implied or expected connection to Superman, she could fulfill the Superman AND Wonder Woman roles in the Arrow/Flash universe, and the Johns/Conner/Winick run set her up with a very TV-ready premise: she's a fun-loving single girl AND a brilliant corporate executive AND an rear end-kicking superhero. It would be like the Wonder Woman show David E. Kelley wanted to make, only that concept fits Power Girl perfectly, and Wonder Woman not at all. I've also never been a Supergirl fan, but Power Girl is awesome.

I think it would be awesome if the season finale shows Barry somehow having traveled back in time, fights Reverse Flash in the Allens' house, beats him, and saves his mother's life. Then, in the last few minutes of the episode, cut back to the present, only the world is different, and we see newspaper headlines praising the great hero "Citizen Cold." We might also see glimpses of Caitlin as sexy, icy villainess Killer Frost and Cisco as Vibe... and end the season right there, leaving the audience knowing things have gone terribly, terribly awry.

Madkal posted:One thing that I think would really work well, especially in Flash, is introducing some more "golden age" heroes like Starman and Dr. Midnight. I would love this too, and I'd also like to see The Shade. He could start off as a villain of the week, robbing banks or killing people (who deserve it) with his shadow powers and tangling with Flash, but he could start dropping hints to Barry about larger conspiracies, the secret history of Central City, tales of metahumans who operated decades in the past ("I once knew this man who called himself Max Mercury, who was almost as fast as you," etc.) -- very much like his mentor role to Jack Knight in Starman. Before James Robinson wrote The Shade as a roguish antihero in Starman (making him one of my all-time favorite characters), he fought both Flashes regularly: Jay Garrick AND Barry Allen.

MrFlibble posted:Daredevil was fantastic, im probably going to watch it again at a slower pace in a month or two. After those three Bendis Ultimate Collections, get the two Ed Brubaker Ultimate Collections, since they follow directly from the Bendis run. Brubaker's first story arc is his best by far, and some of it digs too deep into misery and despair after that, but it's still fantastic. I didn't dislike Andy Diggle's Daredevil run as much as everyone else did, but it would have been difficult for anyone to follow the legendary runs by Bendis and then Brubaker. You can safely skip Diggle's stuff and skip from Brubaker directly to Mark Waid's more optimistic and fun run. Of course, you desperately need to get Miller's Born Again (from the mid-'80s), and then probably his Man Without Fear (a modernization of DD's origin from the early '90s, where the black costume from the show came from). If you're still craving more, backtrack to Miller's original late '70s/early '80s run that pretty much made DD what he is today. But Born Again is required reading.

Matt Ryan was one of the best-cast actors ever in a comic book adaptation. I'd rank him up there with Downey, Stewart, McKellan, Jackman, Ledger, and J.K. Simmons. After Keanu Reeves stunk up the otherwise-not-horrible movie, Ryan just nailed the character perfectly. Plus, I loved the little touches of the greater DCU that were starting to show up toward the end of the season.

Constantine was uneven, but Matt Ryan was amazing in it. And as much as I enjoyed binge-watching Arrow Seasons 1 and 2 last summer, Season 3 was a huge letdown by comparison.
