Scyantific posted:Yeah, Amell said that flashbacks would all be seasons 1-5, with the very last episode of Season 5 ending with the very first scene from the pilot, him lighting the signal fire that led to his rescue. What comes after that is open to the producers I guess, depending on how well the show maintains its popularity (which shouldn't be too hard, especially if they're doing annual Flash/Arrow crossovers). There are also a few more Arrow Family members from the DCU to reference/introduce before then.

Kibayasu posted:I wonder how much writers have to worry about what references they can use to wink at the audience without compromising any potential future use for them. Chances are, if they're using a name as a throwaway reference, they're probably not going to be used as an actual character anytime soon unless a writer and editor forget. So Mia may be out, but the Arrowette name is still available

Proposition Joe posted:There is the possibility that the show only lasts for 5 seasons. And if you think that is a bad thing then look at what happened to Supernatural when they decided to truck on past their plotted 5 seasons. Arrow for 5 seasons and then a segway into a new series with some of the previously appearing heroes and Arrow now acting on a more global scale. The Outsiders.

Ask if Arrow or the Flash will ever get a Musical episode

jscolon2.0 posted:Cass doesn't exist in nu52 so yes, Shiva. There are still a handfull of DCU martial artists that have yet to appear that could be fitted to work in Arrow like Lady Shiva or Richard Dragon or Judomaster. Alternatively, the can repurpose other characters like Young Justice did with Sportsmaster. I do think a more subtle major villain is due after all of these gigantic sieges and assaults on Starling. Bring in Everyman or Maxwell Lord or even Anarky or the Calculator if a nemesis is warranted for Felicity

Hell, add Copperhead, Cheshire, Sportsmaster, Electrocutioner, Shrike, Los Gemelos, anybody. Just use these guys up before the Gotham writers realize they exist. Basically any of Batman's second or third string rogues like Cluemaster or Crazy Quilt or Catman (especially him since that's one more step to a Secret Six episode)

AGirlWonder posted:The problem is Manu Bennett. He's so drat charismatic, why would you kill his character off? However, Slade is immortal? in the comic books, and even though they've moved away from his being super-powered, they could still have squirreled a way there. But not in the middle of a season. In the comic books, he has a low powered healing factor which was part of the Mirakuru.

AGirlWonder posted:I mean, he drops dead of a heart attack (on TV!) and gets killed a few more times in Deathstroke. That was the 90s, though. I don't know if they've killed him since like 2000. I haven't followed Deathstroke recently but he doesn't have much of a defined character beyond "Possibly the best Mercenary in the world" and intensely disliked by many other heroes and villains. Prior to Flashpoint, he had never even been captured until Geoforce went on a vendetta and finally captured him by pinning himself to Deathstroke using his own swords through the chest.

ashez2ashes posted:Well, the General said "anywhere in the world". I think Oliver is going to choose to go to Russia and train. Is there a Russian DC character he could learn from? Or it will be just general mob business I guess. KGBeast and Rocket Red are the two most prominent Russian characters in the DCU. The Russian guy Ollie meets on the Amazo has the same alias as the KGBeast so it mightbesafe to say that Ollie might be trained by him. There's also the NKVDemon and Vostok (of Aquaman and the Others).

I feel like Ray is going to go for a live combat field test (go beat up criminals) and cock it up royally the first time. Alternatively, he kills someone unintentionally and can't seem to deal.

boom boom boom posted:We've been over that they weren't allowed to use Ted Kord a million times, I just don't understand why they went with Ray Palmer instead. If you're completely chaging his powers to fit the backstory you already have, why not take someone who's closer to having the right powers, and change their backstory? There's not that many male scientists in the DCU that are also Superheroes. The closest I can think of off the top of my head is Will Magnus (not really a superhero) and Niles Caulder (not really all that heroic) Edit: There are two black ones, but they probably couldn't be used without recasting.

DC might still be hoping to launch a Blue Beetle series (which would be great), but that question will linger as to why Palmer instead of Kord until BB appears.
