Its a huge reset for both shows, and now that both are well established and secured in place, its easier to write a cohesive universe with less plot holes.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. WB owns TNT, so the suits wouldn't have any incentive to get in the way. More an issue of how to manage stuff like Deathstroke.

I guess this means Jason Rusch is stepping up.
Or Victor Garber is going to be the den mother for this new team.

haha, wow, enormous arrow/flash spoilers just from the casting. I would be legit surprised if they went
this early on, though, like some are speculating.

I wish they'd get rid of Captain Cold, he's been the worst part of Flash.
lolwut dude's hilarious.
That would be extremely lame.

I think you mean the best. Wentworth Miller was born to play that role. He's hilariously hammy, and Dominic Purcell is great as Heat Wave, too.
I dunno if this is too much of CW blowing its wad, though. I'd rather see Captain Cold/Firestorm be regularly recurring on the Flash show. However, if this is just a plan to nail them down as regulars on one show so they don't have to worry about their recurring stars being scooped up by another show, and therefore still have Firestorm, Captain Cold, etc. show up in Flash I'll be cool with that. I wonder what city they'll put all these people in.
I think Robbie isn't going to be on the show because he's gonna end up being a regular on the Flash, though. He's gotta stay connected to Caitlin.

He's not even the good kind of cheesy. Just plain dumb.
I think you mean Iris. If they're indeed going to
reset, I hope they make her character dead or less shitty.

if I'm fighting Canary with that outfit I will be distracted and end up getting hit in the face.

Sadly she has plot armor but in both Arrow and Flash best dads can be axed off any time which angers me.

I bet you do.
Who, exactly? Knox? That's all I can really think of. Oh, and I guess Luke/The Judge. Those are all minor save for Knox, though. Don't see why they'd bother you. Anyone else is extraordinarily minor characters.

Bet they use the other Firestorm; Jason Rusch and he'll be bounded to Stein. Plus it would add some diversity to the group as he's a black guy.
They barely established Jason Rusch and the actor wasn't exactly dynamic. An older, wiser character as a den mother does make a lot of sense though. He'd probably bounce off Ray well.
You have awful taste. Just atrocious.
I thought Suicide Squad with Manu was suppposed to happen? Slade, Merlyn and Boomerang would make a good show.

Caty is Packing, GodDamn son
I love boobs just as much as the next gaffer, but there is a point where it is just ridiculous. Cleavage is fine, but it's like they have the world's biggest push up bra stuffed in there. She's popping out every single scene!
It's just overboard for me unless that's intentional and from the comics or something
Where do they get these insane push up bras is what I wanna know.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
It's a corset. They have to cut her out of it when they're done filming. No joke.
Even with how ridiculously pushed up everything is, it's still a relatively safe version of the costume. While there have been a few different versions, most look like this:
So, yeah, better or worse depending on where you stand I guess.

Suicide Squad headed by Manu would be such a baller summer show and an excellent counterpart to this show.

As someone who doesn't have cable and can only keep up with Arrow on Netflix, I'm kinda peeved I just got spoiled about Sarah

CW isn't a cable network, their site has the episodes for free too.

It's on the CW, an over-the-air broadcaster. It's also put up on the CW website the day after.
Not saying it doesn't suck to be spoiled, but it happens early in Season 3 and with roughly a year or so wait time until it'd come to Netlfix, the onus is on you to avoid potentially spoiler filled threads.
Sounds even more uncomfortable than the cosplay bra trick, damn.
CBS wont even put their current shit on Hulu. No way they play ball with another network

Jason Rusch is one of the most boring characters in comics. Please stay away.

Ronnie does nothing for me. I tolerate him because people won't let him stay dead.

I agree. I hope it's great, but I'm pretty skeptical right now.
To me it sounds like an "Atom and friends" kind of deal. Maybe Atom will be the main character? And I really hate Captain Cold in Flash but am happy to see the Canary is joining the show.
And I wish this show didn't happen, and that they would get their asses together and FIX Arrow instead.
This so much!

I mean I guess if it's intentional to the point that she has to be cut out of it, I can deal. I personally would prefer the look from the comics with the cleavage, something about the massive push up effect bothers me

The theme behind him is nuclear fusion.
I wouldn't draw too much conclusions about the Amell thing, it seems mostly speculation just like the fact Garber is listed as Firestorm. ATOM is probably the only one that we can be sure off. Miller could be just as well Citizen Cold if this is some alternate reality thing or some superhero re-imagination and they can't confirm who Caity Lotz plays. So why think they're certainly right about their Amell doom and gloom? At the moment we don't know on which show Luc Roderique ends up. If he is meant to be on this show too, than we know Garber remains Firestorm. If he stays on The Flash, Amell is probably there for Firestorm.
On the other hand, Ronnie dead = Caitlin + Barry!

Way more interesting than pretty much anything.
Exactly.
I do not want this show.
I don't .
It seems weird and unnecessary.
Still don't even know what the fuck it is.
CBS owns The CW. What's stopping them seems to be the CBS president not being that interested in cross overs.

While I want this to happen
Flashpoint, would make for an amazing season of Flash and what better way to follow up this season of Flash than Flashpoint for season 2?
