Huntress is only acceptable if they recast the actress.

They should have fake murderer Huntress on the Suicide Squad then bring in a certain other Helena that actually acts like Huntress should.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Martian Manhunter. Set before current Arrowverse in the late 70s/early 80s. J'onn J'onzz is a detective that uses his incredible powers to solve crimes and save the world.
Oh, and he looks like this:

People like different things I've heard. I thought that ep was fun and look forward to her in the Squad.
It would
Because it wouldn't exist or be a completely piece of shit show
Do you really want to see CW drama in fucking Constantine?

I don't want them to turn Diggle into an alien.Martian Manhunter. Set before current Arrowverse in the late 70s/early 80s. J'onn J'onzz is a detective that uses his incredible powers to solve crimes and save the world.

I'm sure we can find something just as sexy and keep him (mostly) human.
Ralph's name's been mentioned, so that's not entirely implausible.

Budget might kill it, but Jaime has a Spidey-Tier supporting cast already, especially if they keep Booster Gold and Guy Gardner as recurring guests. Just stick to the original run and the Young Justice upgrade of Dawur into Black Beetle and don't try to make the scarab evil like the New 52 series did.

You;re kidding, right? Cupid was incredible. One of most fun villains ever had and the best standalone villain-of-the week episode of Arrow.

Those are on different networks though. WHile the creators might be in some cases the same, CW as a network will still want 3rd Arrowerse show and it would make sense for it to wait.
While they want a third Arrowverse show, they need to consider they'd be spreading Team Berlanti very thin. They need to launch Supergirl which is important for both owners of The CW and they need to work on Vixen, the animated spin-off they're developing. At the same time, you can have brand synergy with TNT for Titans by mixing it up in the Arrowverse but which would again put a bit more stress on Team Berlanti for next year. Combine that with a very busy line-up and I'd rather have them prepare their next spin-off next season instead of this one although The Atom spin-off would be welcome.
That is the question on everyone's mind when it concerns The CW's next year line-up thanks to their entire renewed line-up.

I kinda hope we don't get another show until Arrow is done. Having more than two on at the same time seems like overkill. So give Arrow two more seasons to make it a nice round five to finish off the flashback stuff, wrap up the show, then the next year do a new show.
Looks like the CW is considering an Atom spinoff series:

I don't know, it could maybe work but I think I would prefer something else personally.

I think at some point they will either need a new team or infuse Berlanti team with some other high quality showrunners.
And yeah, Atom is fine character, but as a lead in his own series? A bit meh. Would also seem to similiar to science-heavy focus of Flash.

Up and Atom?
Certainly, especially with the chance Booster Gold could also still happen on which Kreisberg has worked for SyFy. Too bad DeKnight was taken by DareDevil. They should have stolen him from Spartacus too.
Wiktor

Yeah. Also shame they let Craig Silverstein slip into AMC for TURN.

Kind of redundand with Supergirl

Why didn't they just leave routh as superman and have him be in a superman spinoff show. This is baloney that would be like when Samuel l Jackson shows up in agents of shield he plays as blade or something.
Wiktor
Member
You mean the same way how it was balooney that the guy who played Human Torch suddenly became Captain America?
Because Henry Cavill is Superman and Superman is a movie only character.

Yeah technically but she hasn't really been into the magic world as heavily as Dr. Fate or Zatanna though (atleast in the stories I read, she's been pretty grounded until she went inside her totem when it stopped working). It really depends on how grounded CW wants to go, personally I think it would be awesome to see different astral planes and things like the Tower of Fate. Then again the budget is probably limited for these sorts of things but I was satisfied enough with Flash's effects and
Firestorm
I haven't watched the show but I feel as if the quality of the show is what fails to catch on rather than the actual magic aspect of it. Reviews of the show seem to be mixed. NBC's audience could also be older and less inclined to watch super hero stuff.
I like ray on the show but I don't know if his character can carry his own show. Maybe they should wait and see how the world receives another shrinking man
.I like the idea of firestorm better though. I'm also up for the idea of Diggle becoming a lantern, though I don't know if the Arrow can take the loss of Diggle.

It'd definitely take a hit in the effects department and gore. No more impaling fallen angels with your hands and pulling out beating hearts! T_T

Suicide Squad would be perfect as a miniseries during an Arrow break.
Kinda like AoS and Carter.
No way, Powergirl has more meat on the bones. A talented electrical engineer and owns her own successful company? Yes please. They need more grownass superheroes.

Dear CW, give me a Zatanna series.
Doctor Fate and Zatanna are probably tied to Constantine rights considering the easter eggs

CW's boss has said the 2016 summer will be insane. I would be shocked if they didn't have some short DC series there. Suicide Squad propably is unfortunatelly out if the question because of close proximity to movie, but maybe they could make Secret Six instead?
or you know what? Just name the mini series Taskforce X to avoid confusion

Yes gimmie more
also CW just renames it the DC network already

Most of her fans were thinking with their libido.
She's more irrational than season 1-2.5 Laurel.

There's also upcoming iZombie
And in development:
Lucifer
Scalped
Teen Titans
DMZ

To be fair... at least to me... there's more variety in them than cop shows
With pure heroics like Flash/Arrow, cop-drama with Gotham (and lesser extent Constantine) and spy-adventure with Agent Carter.

Irrational Laurel = shit
Irrational Cupid = super hot.
Booster Gold might also still be in talks over at SyFy. So everybody is looking at superheroes in one way or another, even if the plans might fall through.
Suicide Squad, starring:
Deathstroke
Deadshot
Cupid
Huntress
Bronze Tiger
Captain Boomerang
Give Huntress and Cupid a Poison Ivy/Harley Quinn dynamic, Boomerang is pissed off all the time, and Deadshot is the team comedian. Deathstroke leads them, and Bronze Tiger is the most dangerous hand-to-hand combatant.
I am down with this.
I had to google that. It was far worse than I could have expected.
Oh there is worse shit in comics, much worse. 80s and 90s were a weird time

Berlanti admitted that was a mistake.
The relevant quote:
You'll note Cassidy was the only woman from either show. After the panel, Berlanti admitted to a small group of reporters that he had messed up on that. They were juggling which actors to bring, ultimately deciding to mainly bring people who played costumed heroes or villains, because the CW was going to put all the costumes on display in the hotel lobby. But even given that, he acknowledged they could have brought the actresses who played Huntress or Cupid, and that it was a mistake to not have more women there (particularly given how much interest there is in characters like Felicity and Caitlin).

Laurel is supposed to be the main heroine of the piece, while Cupid is supposed to be a nutjob who belongs in a mental hospital. Not exactly a like for like comparison.
