Guy Goodbody posted:I want him to show up in Supergirl. A weird, kinda dark, street-level hero for her to team up with. Basically her Batman I'd argue for Batwoman instead. An ex-military, distant cousin to Batman who moonlights as a punk partier and is assisted by her father in her operations. There's also the lesbian thing, but it's not super big outside of her backstory

Maybe she'll get the spinny after her powers evolve, like Caitlyn and frostbite. Unfortunately, that power set is really dumb, but only marginally so on a different spectrum of dumbness compared to this one. She could be Countess Vertigo instead

Mr Beens posted:They really need to tone down on the "plinky plonky" music when new Wells (or other character) is doing something whacky. In fact can we just get that thing expunged from all TV? - we know when characters are doing something silly or amusing, as the actors are acting it out in front of us, we don't need some poo poo trope music spelling it out. Same, but scenes that are heroic, sad or intended to strongly evoke a particular emotion.

lotus circle posted:Oh, my bad. They have the same abbreviations and "JLD" is usually used for the Dark one. Surprisingly, the only members of that team that haven't shown up are Aquaman, Zatanna, Elongated Man and Gypsy. MM is in Supergirl, Vixen is on LoT and Vibe is on Flash. The Steel on the original team is Hank Heywood III, cousin to Nate. I'd expect if Gypsy made it in, she'd be the New 52 version in some aspect as an individual from an alternate universe running away from a pursuing threat. Elongated Man was referenced in his alter ego in the Flash. Not impossible as most of the elements are actually available. The problem is putting them together. At the very, least they're less of a strain on the effects budget compared to the JLDark. The Shadowpact would probably be more viable as it'd require less on the effects in exchange for a slight increase in makeup due to Blue Devil and Nightshade (not by much in her regard) as well as figuring out how to do Detective Chimp. I'd prefer a JLI fwiw, but that'll probably never happen for a decade at least unless WB gets it's head out of it's rear end with the grimderp tone of its Justice League movies and goes straight ensemble shenanigans with it ala Guardians of the Galaxy

There's a reason every Captain America movie creates a reason for him to pull off that stupid mask as soon as the plot justifies. Also because the studio is paying top dollar for that actor anyways so they're not going to waste potential face time by having them hidden behind a mask.

Echoing sentiments, but I feel like Amell were to get included, he should be left as the only one not singing and trying to figure out how to stop everyone else ala Batman in BatB. They also should've gone more explicit in Music Meister's nature since it's obvious he's a Fifth Dimensional being, but never clearly say or imply it.

It's a real shame and it feels like it may be the case of them scrounging a script together at the last minute before filming and stuff out of pressure by fans to make a musical episode. Having to make the Music Meister some universe hopping imp seems lazy. Give him his BatB powers or some variation and then also the ability to create dimensional portals via singing a note that resonates at a particular frequency and boom! Solved the crossover problem without having to resort to dreams, hallucinations or pocket dimensions. Getting everyone else to sing? gently caress it. It's a musical. Alternatively, he just projects a psychic field that makes everyone start singing.

nine-gear crow posted:It certainly is. The pilot's already in production and could probably land in Legends' old Thursday timeslot. Apparently the pitch for the pilot is that Jefferson Pierce (man that's gonna get confusing if he ever meets Jax) comes out to retirement and becomes Black Lightning again after his daughters start stirring poo poo up and getting in trouble with the law by experimenting with their powers -- one's trying to become a vigilante like her father was, while the other is being courted to join a local criminal gang. Hopefully they have him in the costume and goggles without the beard. Black Lightning is an interesting character, but outside of his daughters, I'd have to see his supporting cast and villains to get an idea of how good it might be. I know he was recently paired up with Blue Devil for a miniseries for some random reason Also this makes me continue to mourn the death of Dwayne McDuffy and that we're not getting a series based on Milestone properties (like Static).

One of the best Flash issues I've ever read was 100% about Thawne and his origin story (pre Flashpoint). If he ever comes back, they just need to do that issue since it was hauntingly hosed up but made him seem a little pitiable.

I'm willing to gleefully shout SPEEDFORCE to handle all the ridiculous comic book bullshit, but there's no real excuse for making everyone bone stupid in this episode. Next season's big villain is rumored to be The Thinker. Also you forgot the best villain: The Trickster (Hamil) who's largely unavailable due to another commitment where one co-star got killed off and another died IRL.

muscles like this! posted:Black Lightning would probably be kind of hard to fold into the CW-verse as the premise is that he used to be a hero and has teenage daughters who also have powers and that's why he's picking it back up. It'd be easy enough to fold him into Earth 38. Outside of Superman and Batman, there hasn't been much talk of superheroes in that universe so it's pretty open as to what's allowed there. It makes crossovers harder, but outside of a Crisis event, any reason to pull people over from one universe to another would've been moderately contrived anyways.

nine-gear crow posted:I seem to recall there were a couple of one-off Metas in season 1 who were explicitly stated to have been normal-ish people gone bonkers as a result of their powers, but I might be misremembering. The middle stretch of season 1 was a bit of a blur to me. In the case of some of them, it's more like they suddenly had access to powers and now could leverage them to get revenge or otherwise use it for their own, illegal or homicidal, benefit. In season 1, at least a good portion of them were already criminals. Caitlyn is pretty much the odd one out at this point because of the alternate personality.

Medullah posted:Since it has all of current Barry's memories, it's a time remnant created sometime after tonight's episode. And since they showed the flashback of Emo Flash saying "You'll even create time remnants, and he'll kill them all", they'll most certainly stop Savitar by Barry having a crucial moment where he needs to create a time remanant, and doesn't. Likely some situation involving fire. Show hasn't really done many curveballs and is pretty good about making sure everyone remembers applicable things. I assume it's because Savitar is still a speedster, but the suit gives him an extra edge Edit: GreenNight posted:Because as we all know, Barry is a moron. Same but also for the recent Supergirl episode.

Here's the problem with saying what's going on in the Flash is a timeloop Barry creates Time Remnants to fight Savitar -> Savitar is defeated and a Time Remnant remains -> Time Remnant becomes Savitar and gets trapped in the Speed Force -> Events of S3, Iris Dies -> repeat.

There's this weird reversal of competence that's like the inverse ninja law or the storm trooper effect that all of the CW shows except maybe Supergirl has where, in order to balance the fact there's almost a half dozen people on the heroes side, they have to be dumbed down or the villains made hyper competent to even the odds.

Phenotype posted:You'd think so, but they did a whole stupid fake science thing about it a couple episodes ago where they drew some circles and showed that Savitar exists outside their choices. Except that would mean the memory-scrambler they shot Barry with last episode shouldn't have affected Savitar either, but it did. Time travel is hard. The more rules you apply to it, the harder it is to be consistent

Phylodox posted:Is Black Lightning in continuity with the other DC shows? I'd assume so, but they might keep it separate for at least half the season just in case it does poorly. IMO, I don't think there's enough in Black Lightning to go beyond a season that hasn't been tread either by Flash or Arrow unless he starts becoming the old salt amongst the DCCW heroes and that part is played up. Since the villains are set up to be The 100, Tobias Whale (not to be confused with the other gang leader from Arrow, Tobias Chruch, who is an original character) is probably the big season villain.

STAC Goat posted:I'm a little disappointed Black Lightning isn't overtly part of the Arrow-verse but realistically that doesn't really mean a lot. As people said, Supergirl wasn't originally either. Either they keep it vague enough that they can reveal down the line its Earth 1 (or Supergirl's, I guess) or they can make it another Earth. I just kind of liked the idea of Black Lightning being an East Coast hero so being separated from Arrow by an entire country and maybe drawing Vixen in. But ah well. Better its left to find its own footing, I guess. Black Lightning's original stomping grounds was the Southside of metropolis a.k.a. Suicide Slum (based off of the Lower East Side). It could totally take place in the Supergirl universe with Pierce being extra angry at Superman.

Definitely no "I need to make the Flash a better hero" or whatever, my ideal season 4 Flash villain wouldn't really be obsessed with the Flash, maybe he just sees him as an obstacle that you need to plan around. It'll all just be an escalating series of Xanatos gambits culminating in a city/reality wide Rube Goldberg machine meant to kill the Flash or make DeVoe master of the universe or something finale worthy

Drifter posted:So who is Godspeed, and what is his villainous motivation? http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/August_Heart_(Prime_Earth) quote:August Heart is the detective partner of Barry Allen. August was the only witness to Barry's accident, that turned him into the Flash. While going after a criminal organization called the Black Hole, August was struck by lightning during a Speed Force storm in Central City. He became the Flash's "partner", but in secret, August became the ruthless vigilante known as "Godspeed", and got his revenge on who he suspected to be his brother's killer. Edit: The only ostensibly good thing to come out of this is that during the Speed Force storm that created a bunch of new speedsters (and then killed a bunch of them), one went onto the New Superman comic as a Chinese Flash to fight alongside a Chinese Superman, a Chinese Batman and a Chinese Wonder Woman.
