Maybe we should tell the writers to watch the first season of iZombie and pay attention.

I've honestly never been a huge fan of Iris in the comics either, so I'm all for Patty showing up.
Yes she's the girl that played Sin in Arrow.

Let's hope this new romance plotline doesn't go the way of Ollicity.

Let's be real here, Mark Sheppard should just be in All The Things.

The main reason why I got tired of them is that they boiled down to Marvel vs. DC shows. The more threads that occurred, the faster each thread devolved into that. I'd love to discuss Arrow, and making comparisons is a part of that, but there's a point where blatant dislike and smack talk occurs. That detracts from any meaningful discussion there is/was to be had.
I support this. I really like that show. Specifically from relationship and action angles.
I like it, I like it. Having her sass villains. I don't want them to make her too Lois Lane, but if that's what they have to do to give her a good arc, then I'll be damned if I don't accept it.
I'd like to believe this is sarcasm, because all comics fans want are good stories.
Casting call for Jay Garrick

Yussss
How cool would it be if Barry gets stuck on Earth 2 (or whatever it ends up getting called), and Garrick in the regular world?
But Jay Garrick is already in the show, Berlanti. Just do it, make The Flash the other-verse.
That's exactly what I expect to happen
30s-40s makes sense in the TV universe. He's old enough to be seasoned (and put the fear of Grodd into Reverse Flash), but young enough to still be active and fully powered.
Seems like a leap to assume Jay Garrick since the whole DC pantheon is open for plunder... as far as a leap as it was to expect that we'd ever have The Flash on TV again as a Green Arrow spin-off (just take a few seconds to let that sink in), if you had told me that Firestorm and The Atom were going to supporting characters, I'd say that's nowhere in the comics and you're crazy.
Remember, we're going so deep into League lore that Detroit-Era Vibe and Vixen are on the table... this casting call could be for anyone!
Could be Max Mercury, as well. The cynical note reads more Max than Jay to me.
I just prefer 1940s legacy Jay to Earth-2 Jay, it's not a big deal.
Well I think the reason people are taking that leap is because we know Jay is coming.

Honestly, he could be actually older than that, assuming they incorporate the whole "Speed Force slows aging" part of the lore into the show.
Wouldn't surprise me, either.

Could be a Jay / Max composite character.

Jay Mercury?
I'm thinking maybe taking the Speed Force expert mentor figure role and the bit about making forward time jumps by trying to enter the Speed Force from Max and add them to a WWII-era Jay.
Consider how hard it is to write around one speedster much less two.
We already know the general game plan for Season 2... it's alternate time lines and it's Barry learning to run without Wells.
That's more than enough cosmic crazy to keep Barry occupied without worrying about the Speed Force. There's not going to be a speedster mentor, that's at least another season away when time travel gives way to dimensional travel.
You guys need to be thinking along the lines of B'wana Beast or Elongated Man, not safe and predictable Flash mythology.

That might happen at most for few episodes. It will very quickly retract to S1;s timeline. We already know there will be another crossover episode before winter break and that both Flash and Arrow will together gather the Legends team. Restoration of S1's timeline has to happen before this.

Okay -so what we know of this role is:
“the season-long role of a classically handsome, square-jawed hero in his 30s to early 40s, a slightly cynical man with an edge.”
What if Iris has a new co-worker at the news office- Charles Victor Szasz, aka Vic Sage, aka:
Although Vic is a bit beyond "slightly cynical"

They are not going to write an entire season around retreading the first season.
The two universes are completely separate, and Ezra Miller has already been cast as the movie Flash for Justice League. Sorry!

Nope.

There is a chance Matt Ryan could be used in Justice League Dark. Del Toro was open to an idea. Still a very very long shot, but at least it's not "no way in hell" the way it's with other shows
Any chance DC will use it's TV Characters and actors in Justice League? I'm too connected to Stephen Amell as The Arrow to have that all thrown away with some random or big name Hollywood actor I won't feel that with. Same with Grant Gustin.
edit -
Don't worry, Green Arrow won't be in JL anyway.

They did that through seasons 1 and 2, ending when Laurel was about to get De-BAR'd

Could be Hawkman as well, since Hawkgirl is around.
But Tom Cavanagh is still a regular for Season 2? So it's (probably?) not Eobard Wells, but Wells will still be there.

Hawkman would be cool. One of the most mistreated characters in comics.
Trying to think of cynical heroes or villains. Classically Handsome makes me think of 1940's casting so I'm going with someone in the JSA. I think Johns will run with Garrick and the JSA if he can because he loves those characters so much. I'm thinking Alan Scott based off those descriptors. Could be our introduction to Green Lantern that segues into Hal in season 3 .

It's not hard to give Iris anything to do. Her profession as a reporter and Barry's as a CSI could lead to some really good investigative plot lines. Hopefully the writers can catch on to that and make something of it, because aside from some metahuman-case exposition from Barry, and Iris going "The Flash is real!," there wasn't much going on. Mason did most of the investigating on the reporter side, and Barry just did superhero stuff whilst Joe and Eddie did cop stuff. Severely underutilized potential.
"So we thought we'd tease Green Lantern... here you go guys!"
They've actually been laying it on quite thick with Hal Jordan. Would be crazy if we got Hal, I would have excepted someone like Alan Scott or Kyle Rayner if they were giving us a lantern. Wonder if the movie universe is going with John Stewart instead?
e: wow community RIP DCTV until next season

Not Alan Scott. He's the only one I wouldn't want, only because his powers function completely different from the standard GL."So we thought we'd tease Green Lantern... here you go guys!"

All I've heard on that is just fans wanting Diggle to in fact be John Stewart. Beyond that, has there been any actual rumor "sources'? Like, is the speculation rooted in something else.

George Miller's cancelled Justice League: Mortal movie had Common cast as Green Lantern. Probably a mix of memories of that and wishful thinking from Elba fans. Stewart would be the best choice, but current DC leadership favors Hal Jordan.
