Not the Suicide Squad.. actually not sure what this is

DC Comics superheroes are uniting in a potential new drama series at the CW, a garbercaity lotzspinoff from hits Arrow and The Flash that will feature several fan-favorite recurring actors/characters from both shows. I have learned that the network has teamed with Arrow creators Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim for a project eyed for next season toplined by Brandon Routh, Victor Garber, Wentworth

Additionally, in a tidbit that should get fans fired up, I have learned the new project will include three major DC Comics characters who have never appeared in a TV series.

 

[The Outsider]

So... The Atom and friends?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

ATOM/FIRESTORM SPIN-OFF!?

I'm down with that. Let's do this shit.

But why the fuck would Wentworth be on this. Shut the hell up, liberal news media.

It'll be Garber, Amell, and Routh, teaming up and fighting the US government.

 

[strafer]

DC in full effect

 

[BronsonLee]

The Rogues?!

Besides The Atom, that sounds like The Rogues

 

[Perspicacity]

Just do a live action Batman: Brave and the Bold

 

[BUNTING1243]

Brandon Routh? It'd be really funny if CW DC-verse used Superman Return's Superman.

 

[Schweinehund]

Damn, just saw this. JSA for DCTV?

I can see Vixen being one of the three due to her tv series. Wonder what the other two will be. Thinking more B stringers.

Man this superhero craze is like a virus, slowing spreading its tentacles over every inch of free media space. Is Amazon doing superhero shows yet? I'm surprised HBO hasn't done a big tentpole superhero show for mature audiences.

 

[Slayven]

So Brave and The Bold the show?

Man this superhero craze is like a virus, slowing spreading its tentacles over every inch of free media space. Is Amazon doing superhero shows yet? I'm surprised HBO hasn't done a big tentpole superhero show for mature audiences.

Well to be fair CW is clinching for dear life for anything that can get them ratings.

Amir0x I swear m8 I'll knife fight you if it means I get a Captain Cold series

 

[anaron]

thank god atom/firestorm arent getting a spinoff just to themselves, this seems like the best and frankly, cooler outcome

SARA

GIVE US VIXEN AND BLACKBAT THX

 

[munchie64]

Awesome. Actual Arrowverse stuff instead of crushing disappointment. I hope it introduces some second stringers.

 

[Sandfox]

The CW finally found a way to get more people watching their channel.

 

[Amir0x]

Is it really so bad for CW? Got any links to articles about their current troubles?

HBO should've done Wonder Woman.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

So if the quality of Arrow suffered after The Flash launched does that mean that the flash will become complete garbage after this gets the go ahead?

 

[anaron]

Is it really so bad for CW? Got any links to articles about their current troubles?

they've practically rebounded with the flash and Arrow (the former is an enormous success in general) and are in a very good place compared to five years ago

 

[Clevinger]

Caity Lotz/Sara again?

Fuck that noise. Bring in Vixen or Zatanna.

 

[Amir0x]

HBO should've done Wonder Woman.

What would a RATED M Wonder Woman show be like?

they've practically rebounded with the flash and Arrow (the former is an enormous success in general) and are in a very good place compared to five years ago

Ah, OK. I just like Jane the Virgin haha

Caity Lotz/Sara again?

Fuck that noise. Bring in Vixen or Zatanna.

They're making an animated Vixen CW show connected to the Arrowverse already

 

[infi]

Sounds interesting. I like what little I've seen of both Firestorm and ATOM so far so I'm all for this.

 

[anaron]

Caity Lotz/Sara again?

Fuck that noise. Bring in Vixen or Zatanna.

oh I think they will

I'll gladly trade Sara for those two queens

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Just wrap Arrow up, then do The Atom.

 

[Amir0x]

I would like some channel to adapt Transmetropolitan. Now THAT'S something HBO could do.

Preacher sadly is currently being destroyed by AMC.

 

[Hours Left]

So this confirms something that was already pretty obvious to me.

Spoiler

Sara is coming back to life.

But Garber without Robbie Amell? Or maybe they're still negotiating with him. Or maybe he's joining The Flash as a regular and they'll use the two characters on the different shows to link things even more.

Spoiler

Just like with Laurel and Sara presumably.

Either way, this is crazy and awesome.

Jane also earned the network its first golden globe nomination and win ever so it's going stick around for a whiiiiile.

 

[Malvingt2]

That Arrowverse!!!

 

[Slayven]

There are no new articles, but last time I checked they were ranked after Universion in amount of viewers. But to their critic they got a formula that works for them and they keep trucking with it. \

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

SARA

GIVE US VIXEN AND BLACKBAT THX

God yes,

 

[TheCowboyPoet]

Caity Lotz! Yes!!
Sara > Laurel SORRY BUT IT'S THE TRUTH

No Wentworth Miller please, his character is cheeeeezy.

flash does better demos than certain shows on the big 4

 

[Delta Assault]

Caity Lotz! Yes!!
Sara > Laurel SORRY BUT IT'S THE TRUTH

No Wentworth Miller please, his character is cheeeeezy.

Didn't her character get killed off or something?

 

[Maddocks]

More shows the better. have a giant 3 night event with everyone crossing over.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Caity Lotz! Yes!!
Sara > Laurel SORRY BUT IT'S THE TRUTH

No Wentworth Miller please, his character is cheeeeezy.

What how can you not like Captain Cold. He is just the right amount of cheezy.

 

[anaron]

I'm not here for slandering of wentworth's amazing captain cold

 

[BlackBuzzard]

So speaking of CW when do we get IZombie!

 

[Malvingt2]

Caity Lotz! Yes!!
Sara > Laurel SORRY BUT IT'S THE TRUTH

No Wentworth Miller please, his character is cheeeeezy.

[Razgriz-Specter]

[anaron]

soooooon

(March 17th)

 

[krypt0nian]

OH HELLLLLLLZ YESSSS

 

[TheCowboyPoet]

What how can you not like Captain Cold. He is just the right amount of cheezy.

His character's real name is literally a combination of sneeze and fart.

 

[Father_Brain]

This sounds like a Justice League show, albeit with a fairly odd lineup.

 

[Error]

The Rogues?!

Besides The Atom, that sounds like The Rogues

A show centered around the Rogues could be quite amazing, a nice change of pace from Flash/Arrow.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

March 17th I think.

soooooon

(March 17th)

Hope its good.

 

[Penguin]

Oh and an important part should add to OP

Additionally, in a tidbit that should get fans fired up, I have learned the new project will include three major DC Comics characters who have never appeared in a TV series.

Bring it to me nowwww

Oh and an important part should add to OP

3 versions of Decapre?!

 

[Malvingt2]

Oh and an important part should add to OP

Arrowverse all the way!!

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Oh and an important part should add to OP

Does that include animated? Cause if you count animated, that means no Booster Gold

 

[Siegcram]

You shut your mouth before someone reads this.

 

[Buddha Beam]

What would a RATED M Wonder Woman show be like?

Lots of Themysciraian lesbian sex and lots of violet sword play against mythological creatures and people who still dress like the Greek empire is still rockin' it.
