Don't tease me. I just got into the Swamp Thing collection by Scott Snyder and the new 2016 #1 Swamp Thing.
And I just got this:

I doubt we'll see a full blown live action version anytime soon.
Smallville had a lite version ... writen by our old friend Geoff Johns

Anthology means you can do a season 2, with little or no relation to the first season. But this won't be a traditional anthology if it is even one. It will still line-up to a bigger story.
I have hope that since Constantine is already in the mix, I would figure Swamp Thing isn't very far behind. He's my number one DC character I'd like to see again in a live-action series.
Season 2 is mystical baby. We have Vixen and Constantine ready and waiting. More Nyssa is always good. Mr. Terrific can be the scientific sceptic every supernatural squad needs. Bring in a few newcomers like Swamp Thing, Zatanna, Spectre or Fate. Have a few returning, mix it altogether and baby you got a stew going.
Can always tie it in with the first season. Can always set up some mystical stuff in the past.

I'm still hoping for a proper Constantine show, maybe with a shorter run, but independent from LoT.

They can find a way. They could possibly bring him back to modern times with a single tiger-man, or set it completely in an developed area with no modern landmarks.
Plenty of heroes in the DCU involve time-travel so they'll have to work this stuff out to keep the fans happy.
Wait, the Batman guy Scott Snyder wrote for Swamp Thing?
Alan Moore's run of the Swamp Thing is one of the greatest things in comics so I'm always down for some Swamp Thing.
I'd love Justice League Dark to get some Arrowverse action.

Guess I missed something, is Constantine coming back for LoT?
No, it's just a beautiful dream.

It at least looks like there are less constraints now in him coming back. At least I remember Guggenheim saying something like that recently, but can't find it. I only see articles implying Arrow will get cancelled after season 5 because the ratings keep dropping and dropping, despite being on their highest ever.
That was a ridiculous rumor that had Amell moving over to Supernatural after season five or some garbage. It was shot down. Flash and Arrow are totally safe. They're talking about future seasons of the show like a foregone conclusion.

Don't listen to the unbeliever. Keep the flames of hopes of alive in your heart. It will happen. You just have to believe.
And if it doesn't, we'll sacrifice Zero to the Gods.
You act like more seasons are a reality, where as I'm fearing stuff like Arrow, Big Bang Theory, Grey's Anatomy and The Simpsons are coming back for another year because they have bad ratings.
I think I actually lost a couple of brain cells because those rumors are so stupid.
Generally butthurt fans who don't know a thing
Or read a headline like Arrow is at a season-low or whatever (When some episode has to be a season low) even though it is a solid performer for the CW and easily the number 2 show behind our boy, The Flash.
I am curious to see where Legends falls

It's pretty solid. I still need to get the rest of the Animal Man run that goes along with this. The whole Rotworld arc is pretty awesome. Unfortunately I think that's probably way too CGI heavy (as well as scary for most people). Probably only Del Toro could do something with it properly (if it ever got made).
The new Swamp Thing 2016 #1 starts off pretty good too.
Love him just beating up some giant alligator named Albert in the first couple pages.
I like how the ship is called the Waverider

LoT, time to bring back the Swamp Thing suit?
Imagine what they could do now with 26 years of advancements.

A reboot with the same actors reprising their roles is weird as fuck.
Unless it picks up where the old show left off, but wouldn't that mean Michael is dead?

They're basically undoing the movie, and that is it.

That's actually not that bad, considering.

Felt like a lame and unearned twist, but that might have been influenced by the crappy release strategy where they only aired the ending on DVD instead of with the rest of the show.
It wouldn't surprise me if they had single season contracts. I think eventually they'd return to The Flash.
9 episodes filmed in the off season could be worked around too.
Yeah, at roughly one episode a week, maybe a bit more; they can fit both shows in a year.

Bitches love smiley faces
Berlanti needs to head them off at the pass and lock down Captain Cold, Heatwave, Clock King, Count Vertigo into a show about them breaking out of Iron Heights.

How was the Constantine show? I passed it on account of critic reviews, but am wondering what DCGaf thinks.
Wonderful leading actor, but the rest of the show wasn't anything too special.
It was ok, I think it was hindered more by being on network television. I would love to see a Justice League Dark show on Starz.
Just skip it. It is kind of boring and the acting is bad, especially from his sidekick woman. John Constantine himself was the only good thing about the show. I actually still have 4 episodes to go but it got too boring unfortunately.
I really hope to see him return for Legends of Tomorrow though. Together with Vixen. Man imagine this line up: Atom, White Canary, Firestorm, Constantine, Jonah Hex, Vixen and Zatanna. Ship out the Hawks, Heatwave and Captain Cold. And we got a brilliant line up for next season.

That and Tilda Swinton's amazing Gabriel.
Some... er... reviews coming out
I say that with some... well EW's not really a review.
It's two paragraphs and one of them is literally just recapping the cast

This is hearsay
Interesting,
The Flash
maybe Stein or Cold as a huge stretch
It is not heresy. Ryan is a better Constantine, but Keanu also played the role well. Angela over Zed, Gabriel over Manny and Djimon Hounsou Papa Midnite over Michael James Shaw. Add in Pruitt Taylor Vince and Peter Stormare and you get quite the excellent cast. The Chas interpretations are quie different.
Agreed. That formula worked for Justice League: Unlimited.
