I didn't realize he had that much power or was the third largest share holder, I guess that does play a huge part of it but the financial success of the movies has as well.
Probably not, unless they want to shoehorn it in.
No, it's not nonsense, Jonathan Kent died in 1997 as said on his tombstone and Clark is almost certainly no younger than 17 or 18 years old at the point Johnathan dies. Clark later states he's "been here" for 33 years and seeing how they handled space travel, that's most likely close to how old he is. Setting MoS further than 2013 makes Clark younger and younger in 1997 and other flashbacks and that just would not work. There is very little to no room to fit it in without contradicting the timeline that's been set in the TV series or the movie, period. If they decide to do it they can but the time lines will never properly line up and the lack of acknowledgement on the show would be a massive omission that cannot be ignored.
There's that word again, if I had this much salt a month ago I could've melted the ice in my drive way and on the half the roads in my county. MoS is a more entertaining movie than SR and Cavill is a better Superman than Routh, so I guess there's that...
After seeing plenty of their work over the years IMO Zack Snyder is a hack and David Goyer is at best a decent ideas/story man but an over all shit writer when on his own so yeah, excuse me if I have a lot of reservations for how it turns out after being disappointed in MoS and a lot of the casting news that's come out hasn't exact instilled confidence in me either and before it gets brought up, I was one of the few on board with the Ledger casting news for TDK from the beginning. I know they brought in the screen writer that worked with Ben Affleck on Argo to rewrite the script for BvS so maybe in that regard hope isn't entirely lost even with Snyder still being the director. The idea that Goyer is the "architect" of this new universe concerns me.
Man of Steel's many short comings isn't even the biggest issue I have with Arrow being absorbed into the movie universe canon, my primary concern is that in doing so it'll bring a whole lot more attention from the suits at WB and possibly battles between the TV and Film divisions and what that could do great harm to the show by interfering or being a slave to film continuity like AoS is instead of its (and Flash's) own it could also possibly lead to it ending prematurely. Yeah, it would be awesome if it brought in a lot more people to the show but it probably wouldn't seeing as any appearance of Amell as Ollie would be nothing more than a cameo, as cool as it would be for Amell to get recognition by being a part of a JL movie the time lines as already stated do not match up unless they would have to do a fair deal of fiddling with them to make it work, they could do it but people really need to think harder at what the cost and risk of doing it could be and if it's still actually worth it.
The best thing the show can do as Amell kind of said is make their version the definitive version of the characters and their universe which is about to expand with Flash. In the end, if it happens I won't lose sleep over it if it doesn't happen I won't either.
