Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Maybe Thea will abscond with her biological father, learn the art of the bow, realize that her real family is actually back in Starling, and return to become Speedy.

I'm not too much of a DC guy, but I'm loving this incarnation. I wonder what actual DC fans think of TV Deathstroke.

I really wish they'd let Diggle do something. I wanted him to kick the shit out of lame-ass Roy when he got all mardy, not get taken down. Outside of the Suicide Squad episode, the poor guy just seems to exist to get his ass kicked.
They should have killed Roy off in his first appearance, and given Diggle the mirakuru plotline.

He honestly was kind of a throwaway villain early on in Teen Titans. The new 52, they've moved him into a better role, and still are keeping some of his "anti-hero" vibe. He's feared among the DC elite at least now.
But this might be the best origin for him. I was hesistant with the Mirakuru at first, but I understand going this route, instead of basically making him a villain Captain America, which is what was done to him in the comics (experimental drugs on an Army guy).
As I said, he's one of the only two incarnations of the character I actually like. Deathstroke is pretty lame otherwise, tbh.

All I could think of in those scenes. It's a bit absurd how few sexy photoshoots this girl has done. Like one maybe?

As far as Deathstroke goes I've only ever heard praise regarding him in relation to two usages. Arrow and the Teen Titans cartoon. In the Teen Titans show while he's appears because he's a iconic villain for the group he's more of a foe for Robin who tries to turn him and sees in him a potential successor if I'm remembering correctly. I don't know how he's in the comics but in both the cartoon and Arrow he does a number on the characters and is truly menacing. He's actually terrifying in the cartoon and the only thing that stops it from going to far is because it's a kids show. The live action, more adult version of him is what we're seeing in Arrow I think.
I've mainly heard about what he did in the comics during the Teen Titans arc and really nothing else. That was more about his actions and not him as a character.

Never cared for him until the Teen Titans cartoon,
That made him one of my favorites.
Don't like that they stole him from better characters but considering Green Arrow doesn't have any good A or even B list villains they had to do it.
And in the end this interpretation is in my top probably 5 comic villains.
The costume is pretty cool expect that the mask looks like it's made out of flimsy plastic.

Yeah, they got so much about Slade right, this tiny little nit picky thing is kinda driving me crazy.

Just found out Manu Bennett and Katrina Law are going to be at Hartford Comic Con at the end of May. Tickets to con are cheap ($25 a day), but VIP tickets for an autograph and photo with them is over $200 and it includes a two day pass.
Tempted for the cheap tickets just to go and see them. $200+ to potentially shake the man's hand and absorb his manliness through osmosis is tempting.

and John Barrowman will be at MotorCity ComicCon.

It kinda does but I can get over it because we know what they were going for at least.
also looks a billion times better than the island mask.
Starts off kinda iffy, but the change in creative team at issue 17 has made it amazing. Pick up from there and don't stop.

Problem is they want the Army of Two style ballistic mask(which is the best thing for Deathstroke) which is real and many actually have the mouth slits.
But because its a custom design with only one eye and a full helmet they had to make their own.
Since its a pretty cheap show and other factors(weight, etc) they could run a bunch in plastic versus one very expensive, very heavy metal helmet.
Who actually has deathstroke as their main villain in the comics? I was always under the impression that he was a Batman villain first and foremost but that's probably wrong.
Also what other villains does Green Arrow apart from the Dark Archer? I would love to see some more direct villains to GA as opposed to relying on Deathstroke and Ra's.

Teen Titans
Created for Teen Titans and is their most well known villain, he shows up a few rare times in Batman.
Was probably the best thing about the Teen Titans cartoon, though they weren't allowed to call him Deathstroke, only Slade.
Deathstroke is the arch-enemy of the Teen Titans. He first appeared in New Teen Titans #2, and pretty much spent the 80's fighting (and failing to defeat) a bunch of teenagers before being promoted to general purpose villain status for the DCU.
GA's other main nemesis besides Merlin is Count Vertigo...and seeing as how he's dead...yeah, they'll probably be borrowing from around the universe for a while.

his whole beginning was almost destroying the Teen Titans by having one of their own turn on them. before the New 52 he was sprinkled throughout the DC universe because he is of course a mercenary.
Thanks guys, didn't know he was created for Teen Titans. That's a shame that GA's only other main nemesis was Count Vertigo. Shame they killed him off, they could have at least used him as reccuring villain if not for a season long big bad.

They'll introduce Count Werner Vertigo in a later season, coming to Starling to reclaim his title from the pretender.

Do you think any of those counter measures would have stopped Slade?

Dude, this show, just keeps taking care of business.
Obviously not but it's just hilarious how careless she is considering how many times her apartment has been broken into and whatnot. Actually it's been wrecked quite a few times, poor girl must be in huge debt always having to redecorate her apartment.
Hopefully she's got good insurance.

In Starling City? You know there's a clause where they don't pay for "acts of villains or vigilante's" by now.

I saw Caity Lotz in the movie "The Machine" where she plays a human programmer and a robot. It's honestly refreshing to see her smiling and showing a larger variety of emotions, but her patented "worried concern" look is definitely there.
However her performance as the robot was bloody weird, but I guess that was the point.

Come on Matt, you know you want to be the next Doctor Who actor who's on Arrow.
Exactly, and he needs to portray Sarah and Laurel's mom new boyfriend.
Yeah that would be perfect.
That would be absolutely hilarious and have a nice dinner scene or something with all them together and Matt Smith having the same personality that he did on Doctor Who. That would be great!
