Will confirm tomorrow.

However, TheSpinoff(tm) was targeted towards midseason anyway, so that's a common order.



Yeah, but they have Jane the Virgin which is like, really fucking good.

and iZombie!

 

[Oregano]

Now they need to confirm Titans is in the same universe

Spoiler

and have Roy appear in it.

 

[jon bones]

13 episodes is brilliant, you can tell how badly 22 eps hurts in S3 of Arrow

 

[NastyBook]

Supergir?

I gotta go, pig. I'll see you later.

 

[infi]

Surprised Shipp is the one in the know about the spin off, I wouldn't think he'd have been involved.

The 13 episode order and that fact it features Ray gives me hope that this will turn out OK but it's still early days yet.

 

[Effect]

And they've got Mark Hamill back as Trickster few weeks ago. Now we need only Pike.

To add to this they've brought back a number of people from the 90s Flash show. Central City's mayor on the show used to be a cop with the same name in the 90s show I believe. The woman that is head of Mercury Labs on the show, who has appeared a few times is playing the same character (Tina McGee) from the 90s show but of older. Flash has been good about the call backs to previous show. With the Trickster they even used images and footage from the 90s show.

Supergirl is continuing that since Dean Cain (Superman in Lois and Clark) and Helen Slater (Supergirl in the Supergirl film and Lara in Smallville) are both casted for the Supergirl show.

 

[krypt0nian]

Hell yeah! DC does super TV right.

The last part has been cast- and it's either an OC or they're still using production code names:

However little we grasp about Arrow or The Flash’s Atom-centric teamup spinoff, the major additions of its core team shed a great deal of light on the CW super-series. Now, the third and final DC hero has been added to the ranks, casting Edge of Tomorrow star Franz Drameh as … okay, well, he’s not Static, and he … maybe sounds like Cyborg?
According to reports, Drameh will play the role of Jay Jackson, a former high school football star who lost out on a chance to go pro after an injury. Now an auto mechanic, Jay finds a surprising affiliation to the S.T.A.R. Labs crew. The original casting report described the character as “a regular, street smart guy who unexpectedly gains powers, and then, as part of the team, regularly quips about the insanity of the situations.”

[Jigorath]

13 episodes is much better than dragging things out with 20+ episodes.

 

[Joni]

Supergirl crossing over is the best news here, my interest in that show went up exponentially.

Indeed. It needs to happen.

Surprised Shipp is the one in the know about the spin off, I wouldn't think he'd have been involved.

The Arrow and Flash sets are right next to each other. And they'll without a doubt film this thing in Vancouver too. He can theoretically easily get information from everyone involved if he is interested.

 

[dead souls]

and iZombie!

iZombie, iZombie, iZombie.

It's so damn good.

 

[Penguin]

Well show has been picked up, but was known
title is also correct

DC's Legends of Tomorrow, here's the tagline

"When heroes alone are not enough ... the world needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat — one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known?"

Sounds good to me. Really like the name too and like that it's heroes and villains teaming up against a huge threat. Can't wait for this.

PR:

DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW When heroes alone are not enough… the world needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat – one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known? The cast includes Victor Garber (The Flash); Brandon Routh (Arrow); Arthur Darvill (Doctor Who); Caity Lotz (Arrow); Dominic Purcell (The Flash) and Wentworth Miller (The Flash). Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg and Sarah Schechter are EPs.

Edit: foiled by Batman.

 

[Messypandas]

So it is Caity Lotz. Eh wut?

 

[massoluk]

This sounds very Crisis of Inifinite Earthy/ Zero Houry.

 

[broncobuster]

Immortal threat is Vandal Savage?

 

[wamberz1]

Immortal threat is Vandal Savage?

That's who I immediately thought of.

 

[Joni]

It is going to be interesting to see where they put it.

 

[Messypandas]

Only one man can play Savage

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Caity Lotz makes zero sense unless there are some serious bullshit shenanigans afoot in Arrow.

Immortal villain could be interesting I guess, but he can't be too OP with how underpowered the team of heroes and villainsis.

 

[DieH@rd]

Very interesting premise. Rory needs to save the space-time continuum for the 10th time.

Immortal threat is Vandal Savage?

I wanted him in Arrowverse for so long!

Caity Lotz makes zero sense unless there are some serious bullshit shenanigans afoot in Arrow.

They mentioned in last episode that that after wedding, the new Ra's can offer a wish of mercy. I am 99.9% convinced that

Spoiler

Oliver will ask for Sara to be revived as a peace offering to Nyssa. If they do that, they can revive her in a good and meningfull way [at least for me]. If not that, RIP Hunter can bring her from some other timeline because he thinks she is important in his quest to save the world. But I would rather Oliver do it with Lazarus Pit.

 

[fallengorn]

From the blurb I don't see how they can sustain a multi-season series out of it.

I guess we can also figure out how Caity Lotz is coming back.

Spoiler

And I was joking that season 6 of Arrow is going to be time-travel flashbacks.

 

[Penguin]

Time-traveler.

Can yank her out of a time before her death

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Immortal threat is Vandal Savage?

Huh, that could be very interesting. It's about time Savage got some love.

 

[Xemnas89]

Time-traveler.

Yep this is true enough. If his task is to put together a team he probably is pulling people from different moments in time.

It becomes Justice Society after the first season.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Oh god, that's far too predictable and clinched, but it's better than the alternative.

How would that impact the universe though? If he saves her before she's killed, doesn't that drastically change events?

 

[Palette Swap]

Rip Hunter. Awesome.

 

[DeathyBoy]

Huh, that could be very interesting. It's about time Savage got some love.

Felicity does need a new dance partner...

VANDAL: I am very old, but you are... captivating.

 

[Malvingt2]

So switch her body?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I'd drop the show immediately.

Immediately.

Immediately.

 

[Sojgat]

This sounds so awesome. Really does seem like an Avengers Forever type of setup (as predicted).

13 episodes seems a good length. Flash has been doing fine, but Arrow has really dragged.

Also, why did NotTheGuyYouKill get banned?

 

[Blader]

Oh god, that's far too predictable and clinched, but it's better than the alternative.

Just means they'll have to put her back where they found her.

Felicity does need a new dance partner...

lmao

 

[Penguin]

So switch her body?

Well I mean something like... grabbing her between season 2 and 3 of Arrow... she would still die, but picked her up in a time before her death and could return her.. and allow her to still die

 

[Slayven]

NotTheGuyYouKill got got?

 

[DieH@rd]

Also, why did NotTheGuyYouKill get banned?

I want to know this also. Will he be back?

 

[Xemnas89]

NotTheGuyYouKill got got?

I guess he is the guy you kill after all.

Well I mean something like... grabbing her between season 2 and 3 of Arrow... she would still die, but picked her up in a time before her death and could return her.. and allow her to still die

Yep that would work perfectly. Obviously the show can use her for as long as it needs then just drop her back in the proper place so she can die.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

You're killing for show before it's even begun filming.

Just means they'll have to put her back where they found her.

Yeah, that's a fair point I guess.

I hate time travel sometimes, makes things happening so irrelevant. Why care if someone dies when you know someone can just go back and save their ass?

why get delivery if you can just drive to the restaurant? ain't nobody got time to time travel all day, even if you have all the time in the world

Hehe,

That's actually a fair point.

He bumped an old topic for a stupid reason, but his avatar is still visible. I buy in to the theory that no avatar means permanent ban, even if the mods deny that.

 

[ZeroX03]

DC's Legends of Tomorrow, here's the tagline

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/dcs-legends-tomorrow-cordon-crazy-794151

Looks like although Berlanti and Kreisberg developed the show, the day to day will be handled by Ali Adler. People really shouldn't be worried that everyone will be jumping ship.

That's not perma worthy, he'll be back and posting extra to make up for all the time he's missed.

 

[Magwik]

Na man
Bearded Lassie is all we need

 

[GulAtiCa]

Well I mean something like... grabbing her between season 2 and 3 of Arrow... she would still die, but picked her up in a time before her death and could return her.. and allow her to still die

Logically, that would tie up lose ends. But I rather it be post death or something, like if she was back for good, but something was wrong with her. Her as a new White Canary would be kinda awesome. Love to see her face off against Laurel in an episode.

 

[Dysun]

Did they mention if it was 13 episodes as rumored in the new PR release?

 

[Schweinehund]

From the blurb I don't see how they can sustain a multi-season series out of it.

Like this?

Spoiler

But with Felicity instead of Extant, and Caity instead of Terri .

On an offnote Atom Smasher would be awesome on this series.

 

[MHWilliams]

Adler is doing Supergirl, not Legends of Tomorrow.

 

[Skux]

Here's the formal logline: "When heroes alone are not enough ... the world needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat — one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known?"

This actually sounds like a great way to make the show make sense. Very Avengers-esque.
