Give me a Deathstroke show. That's all I really care about.

I personally don't like either of the sisters, I find both actresses very annoying. Roy is another one I could live without.
There is no "better" when it comes to the Amells, but
my first exposure to him was Firestorm and watching him playing him a character with a dual personality was bad, he did seem more conformable later on. But then again Stephen is still playing two very characters and he sucked at it first,

Caity Lotz/Sara again?
Yeah, she was fucking awful on Arrow. I hope they dump her before this begins production.

My guess is that this turns into a mid-season mini series like Agent Carter so Flash and Arrow don't have to go on break for a month straight again without new episodes.

I'm wondering if all of these characters are supposed to be regulars, or just in the pilot? I could see Sarah appearing in some form of flashbacks to set things in motion, and perhaps Captain Cold as part of a version of the Legion of Doom.

It can go either way with Captain Cold. He is in the Justice League now.
Don't forget Gotham Monday and that's not even including all the Marvel shows!
Then we have Supergirl, Titans, Daredevil, Krypton. Oh man I can't handle this.
Possible Amell's contract isn't done or he might be weighing his options since the recent movie he was in might have done okay and maybe he's thinking he might be able to push more in that direction. Guest staring is different from being a series regular. Would certain take up more of his time.

With Lotz being cast in this, I have a feeling this whole thing is going to be a Brave and the Bold type of show. Each episode featuring a different hero/villain with the occasional team up. This could explain why Lotz is in it as they could have whole episodes of her time training with the League and dealing with Ra's and Nyssa. I mean, we have like 5 years of time where we haven't seen exactly what she was doing or who she was with.

Didn't you see the last episode, he fucked off to space. His planet needs him
But Iron Man is from earth though, isn't he?

He talked about shrinking stuff in an earlier episode. I imagine theyre saving it for his own series or a bit later

Agreed, and yet I find myself very curious about the whole situation.

I keep explaining to people that these shows are adaptations. Things will change.
It bothered me for a hot second and then I moved on. If it works, I won't care that he's basically Iron Man. I mean, Oliver is basically Batman.
Oh, I guess missed that line then. Good to know. Makes sense since flying is vastly easier than doing the shrinking FX on a TV budget.

The CW is returning every single show this season, even Beauty and the Beast for God's sake.
I just don't like the feel of this. I was hoping the next series would bring something different to this Universe. Flash brought a unique vibe and tone. Not to mention how far down in quality Arrow has gone this season. This is just your parents telling you to use your week's leftovers and fend for yourself for dinner....

Does that include animated? Cause if you count animated, that means no Booster Gold
If you include animated, that's like nobody. Like all of the major DC heroes were in Young Justice or Justice League Unlimited or both.
Figured this was coming when Wentworth Miller was front and stage at that Flash/Arrow panel thingy.
Chances are they realised that:
a) He's awesome as Captain Cold
and
b) They might lose him if they keep him as a guest star.
So they snap him up here as a 'regular' and can have him hop over to Flash when they see fit. And given Geoff Johns currently has him as a member of the Justice League, I'm guessing The Atom pulls a 'you're smart, Snart. Smart enough to save the world?' power play on him. I mean just look at how Ray's 50 Shades of Grey'd Felicity with lies about being a widow...
Dude is a master manipulator.

Sounds like a great idea to consolidate all the side-characters too big for bit parts in Arrow and Flash.
Victor Garber is wasted as one-off guest star, and Brandon Routh is simply more leading man material than either Amell has ever been. (I do think Robbie will join the show)
So Palmer and Dr. Stein can be sciency together and make fun of Ronnie, before Stein reluctantly has to fuse with Ronnie with his eyes still lingering on Palmer, mouthing "I wanted to be in you instead". Slash fiction or spoiler?
Bringing Sara over would also be a good idea. I like her a lot and Laurel can stay Canary, which the comics say has to happen. However, eventually they'll have to stop killing Sara off only to bring her back. I do hope she'll take on a new superhero identity though. Batwoman?
Anyway, if this is half decent and Arrow hasn't recovered by then, I will simply drop it.

She's dead and buried. If they do bring her back, it's going to be through the Lazarus pit and if they have the lazarus pit, it removes any kind of tension from both Arrow and Flash.
Even if those brought back are changed, it won't be a permanent thing, we all know this as an evil Canary isn't something they'll run with for more than a few episodes before the power of love saves her from the dark side.
Chest hair and LOL Laurel will bring her back from the brink.
No it doesn't. Just destroy it afterward.

I heard he's pretty decent in that, hilarious how he made it to a Hollywood film before his cousin
But I think stephen amell has improved since season 1. He's still not a great actor but he's convincingly the more commanding presence now
Oh come on, I've already used up my allowance for the J Jonah Jameson laughing gif today!
Brandon Routh has been great this season on Arrow, and Caity Lotz was a good Canary too. Amell's done his role as well as he needed to, Bronze Tiger was okay...
Huntress was a little weak, though, sure. I'm not sure why that didn't work as well as it should. There's a character with a lot of potential in there but for whatever reason it just never worked out. Maybe they'll have another crack at it in a later episode.

That would be awfully lazy story telling. Why would they destroy something that can bring people back to life? Even after they've spent months in the ground?
Even if it does bring them back different, there's still no no reason to destroy that would make sense unless it really fucks a person up and turns them into mutants or meta humans.
Transmet would be really hard to pull off, but if they had the right people it could be amazing.
