Entertainment Weekly tidbits about the DC/CW TV shows.
>Stephen Amell didn't like season 4 of ARROW and believes season 5 will be the show's last unless they can properly reinvent it.
>The midseason finale will reveal Prometheus' secret identity. He'll be a villain of Oliver's making, which will deeply affect Oliver.
>THE FLASH producers admit the payoff to the Zoom's storyline was disappointing and that they've misused time travel on the show. Flashpoint served to step back on it and and scale the narrative down.
>Grant Gustin was as confused by time travel shenanigan as everyone else.
>The midseason finale will introduce a "ticking time bomb", reveal Doctor Alchemy's secret identity and provide more backstory for Savitar, who'll first appear in episode 6 and episode 7.
>Even if Julian is Alchemy, there'll be a twist to it.
>The cast and crew of LEGENDS OF TOMORROW know that season 1 kinda' sucked and that Vandal Savage was a weak villain, and they're focusing on less serialized storytelling in season 2.
>Malcolm Merlyn and Captain Cold will join the Legion of Doom in the midseason finale. Reverse Flash is their leader and the main villain of season 2. It appears both Malcolm and Cold will be simply recruited from different points in the timeline, with Cold coming from before he joins the Legends and ultimately sacrifices himelf for them.
>The midseason finale of SUPERGIRL will introduce Cyborg-Superman, who will be a pivotal villain in season 2, and the subplot about the President being an alien in disguise will have serious ramifications. Also, it seems Kara might develop feelings for Mon-El.
>Victor Garber will be in the FLASH/SUPERGIRL musical crossover.
>The writers pay attention to fan criticism and always seek to improve on it.
Nathaniel Kelly
So Lance is definitely not Prometheus, then.
Charles White

This is awesome.
Brody Johnson
>>THE FLASH producers admit the payoff to the Zoom's storyline was disappointing
I mean, this is Hunter Zolomon we are talking about. He is arguably the most complex character Flash offers and you turn him into..that
Jaxson James
>Stephen Amell didn't like season 4 of ARROW and believes season 5 will be the show's last unless they can properly reinvent it.
Good,
Owen Lee
Why'd they even use the name Prometheus? It's not even close to the character. I'm fine with tweaking some details and changing stuff but this doesn't have any connection to him at all.
Gavin Harris
>Legion of Doom
With how LoT has tried to course correct...that's a nice fit
Ryan Campbell
>>The midseason finale of SUPERGIRL will introduce Cyborg-Superman, who will be a pivotal villain in season 2, and the subplot about the President being an alien in disguise will have serious ramifications. Also, it seems Kara might develop feelings for Mon-El. Non-trump to replace her ?
Chase Gray
>tfw no green lantern
Jaxon Stewart
the twist is that the alien is a Daemonite who looks like Trump and is possessing the real President
Dylan Sullivan
I don't understand how anyone looked at everything after "Enter Zoom" and thought it's a good idea. They wanted to make Zoom a sociopath, fine. In theory that's no worse than what most villains on these shows get, but was it necessary to make him a goddamn cartoon character?
Jeremiah Anderson
Zoom isn't that complex in the end.
Asher Harris
She'll probably get exposed, leading to even more anti-alien xenophobia. Given how "subtle" the show is, I fully expect Not!Hillary to get impeached and replaced by an evil bigoted Not!Trump.
Zachary Parker
"Yeah, okay, Jay can have his helmet, but now it's a totem for evil!"
What an inexplicable choice.
Benjamin Wood
"Let's waste time making Earth-2 all retro looking, but it turns out it was actually all just to trick the audience since it's actually Earth-3! But called Earth-2"
Anthony Robinson
>Even if Julian is Alchemy, there'll be a twist to it.
I don't know why I ever expected anything else. This is the Flash, and they hired Draco the Ape torturer for the role.
Jose Harris
I know senpai.
Benjamin Thompson
>Stephen Amell didn't like season 4 of ARROW
Stephen is doing some of his best work on Season 5 so the improvement is already showing.
>Prometheus' secret identity
It's Tommy I hope. The actor is great and I'd love to see him come back to kill Oliver over him getting Canary killed in his crusade.
> Zoom's storyline was disappointing
True especially with the time duplicates but I still wanna see Black Flash and have him maybe attack another hero like Supergirl.
>Legion of Doom
This has so much potential. They've got a group of the best villains from all the shows here.
>Cyborg-Superman
Cool but I still want Atomic Skull.
>The writers pay attention to fan criticism and always seek to improve on it.
It shows, the shows are much better this year.
Aiden Lopez
They shouldn't have used Jay's name for a dumb redherring. I have no idea why they tried with mystery of Zoom's identity.
It just shows they don't respect for Wally's Flash run at all. They didn't screw up this badly for Thawne
Not on the show, yes. In the comics he's the most compelling evil speedster and much better than Thawne's "because i'm a troll lol".
Ryan Diaz
We MIGHT get Alan Scott in the future, since Obsidian is already on Legends
Blake Watson
Earth-2 is Earth-2, don't be stupid.
Parker Sanchez
Yeah, it's Earth 3 in all but name
Joseph Kelly
Not really. Zoom in the comics is also a troll, just an angry one with a sob story to justify his asshole behavior.
Adam Reyes
It's not Tommy. It's Felicity's boyfriend.
Christian Hughes
No, it isn't.
Gavin Cooper
>best villains Merlyn and Darhk suck. Especially Darhk.
Jose Flores
Merlyn is fine he just suffered from the same lack of good writing everyone got season 3 and 4. Darhk needs the most work but this may be the best way to redeem him plus I like him better than CW Ra's or Savage. I'd prefer Deathstroke but he is off limits these days.
Jordan Lewis
I'd be shocked if they did, they seem to want to avoid everything but the most tangential references to anything GL related
If we do somehow get Alan I'm certain they'll call him Sentinel
Jaxon Wood
Having almost all the dupes be evil is Earth 3's thing though
Oliver Garcia
They initially planned on making Zoom Barry's doppelganger.
So they intended on Evil Flash on top of:
>Evil Vibe Reverb >Evil Caitlin Killer Frost >Evil Firestorm Deathstorm >Evil Black Canary Black Siren >Evil Atom Smasher >Evil Dante >Evil Linda Park Doctor Light >Good Harrison Wells Harry
It was pretty much opposite land
Mason Morris
>Draco the Ape torturer why did i laugh
Colton Phillips
>>Stephen Amell didn't like season 4 of ARROW and believes season 5 will be the show's last unless they can properly reinvent it. Poor bastard. I hope he gets a better deal
>>The midseason finale will reveal Prometheus' secret identity. He'll be a villain of Oliver's making, which will deeply affect Oliver. To be honest, I haven't had fun guessing who's the villain for a while now. My long shot of it being Walter is still there
>>THE FLASH producers admit the payoff to the Zoom's storyline was disappointing and that they've misused time travel on the show. >>Flashpoint served to step back on it and and scale the narrative down. >>Flashpoint
>>Grant Gustin was as confused by time travel shenanigan as everyone else. kek
>>The midseason finale will introduce a "ticking time bomb", reveal Doctor Alchemy's secret identity and provide more backstory for Savitar, who'll first appear in episode 6 and episode 7. I liked Clariss and his cocksure personality. I'm in
>>Even if Julian is Alchemy, there'll be a twist to it. Come the fuck on
>>The cast and crew of LEGENDS OF TOMORROW know that season 1 kinda' sucked and that Vandal Savage was a weak villain, and they're focusing on less serialized storytelling in season 2. I hope they just stick with the anthology shenanigan style.
>>Kara might develop feelings for Mon-El. Wew, my boy Mon-El getting that kryptonian pussy
>>Victor Garber will be in the FLASH/SUPERGIRL musical crossover. Nice, but just tell us it's Musical Meister already.
>>The writers pay attention to fan criticism and always seek to improve on it. lol that's what got you morons in trouble in the first place
Thomas Bell
The real Harrison Wells was a nice guy on Earth-1 too.
Hudson Foster
who was Walter?
Jace Adams
Oliver's ex-stepfather
Nathan Walker
>Even if Julian is Alchemy, there'll be a twist to it. Let me guess - time travel?
Bentley Martinez
Split personalities.
Thomas Perry
That's even more retarded
Jordan Ross
That's how it i in the comics.
James Hernandez
That's Alchemy in the comics.
Connor Jones
>>Even if Julian is Alchemy, there'll be a twist to it.
I mean they could just give him a split personality like in the comics. That seems like a fine and not totally unrealistic idea.
Jeremiah Adams
They've already confirmed Obsidian is Scott's son in this reality too. And Scott's lantern was on the waverider set last season. But Guggenheim also made some comments a few months back that we won't ever be seeing a GL on any of these shows and that before confirming Todd's lineage.
so who the fuck knows but it sure doesn't seem likely
James Morris
Fuck comics.
Xavier Bailey
Wasnt the split personality due to Thawne mind controlling him?
Evan Sanchez
...
Wyatt Long
Saying this shit on Sup Forums lol.
Ethan Harris
robert queen is.. we are going to learn that ollie survived and seemingly sacrificed his dad to do it.
Carson Miller
That sounds stupid.
Alexander Gonzalez
No, he was just schizophrenic.
William Scott
>malcolm merlyn, captain cold and reverse flash in the same scene together I need it
Sebastian Cox
Flashpoint was a single episode, and Jay introduced a reasonable explanation not to use time travel as a solution to everything.
All they need is a single episode explaining WHAT the speedforce is, since they all use the term with varying meaning.
Jaxson Stewart
Not really. It's pretty consistently an extradimensional field of energy that connects the Multiverse and that speedsters harness to do whatever the hell they want. Also, it's sentient.
Isaiah Jenkins
Earth-1 Harrison Wells was a man who was very in love and very happy with his life despite not yet having achieved success before he got Thawned.
While Earth-2 Harry is a bit further on in years, he is also without a wife, helped create Zoom and the evil metas and he tries to cover that up, and his success doesn't seem to bring him any joy because of the things he has to deal with. The only light in his life is his daughter.
Kevin Carter
Fine, but Harry is still a nice guy overall.
He's not a dark mirror of E1 Wells.
Tyler Smith
Darhk is great on Legends
Tyler Reed
Do we know which cyborg-superman is it?
Noah Howard
>>Stephen Amell didn't like season 4 of ARROW and believes season 5 will be the show's last unless they can properly reinvent it
I dropped Arrow sometime in season 3, but this still makes me a little sad. Amell seems like a genuine dude with decent acting skills
Juan Carter
All evidence points to Jeremiah Danvers.
Matthew Ross
I love how the show keeps coming up with ways to keep Tom Cavanagh there. >thawne pretending to be Wells 1 >Wells 1 >everyman pretending to be thawne pretending to be wells 1 >Wells 2 >Wells 2 pretending to be thawne >cowboy wells >steampunk wells >some third variety I can't remember >Wells from 19?
Aaron Ross
>Dean Cain is on Supergirl >john wesley shipp AND mark hamil on Flash This is some real shit
Charles Sanchez
How could you forget Mime Wells?
Wyatt Diaz
>robert queen You mean Tommy Merlyn
Joshua Carter
Probably because he was speaking, and was thus not a mime.
Anthony Hughes
>Also, it seems Kara might develop feelings for Mon-El. So, the Jimmy-Kara experiment didn't bode well huh
Isaiah Ramirez
He was a mime, just a really shitty one.
Jace Martin
>>yfw your favourite villian will never get a good adaptation
Kayden Hernandez
Harry really isn't a "nice" guy. He's an asshole albeit unintentionally most of the time. He just has a strong sense of loyalty to his friends and family and does the right thing in the end.
Benjamin Adams
At least we still have earth 1 hunter?
Carter Price
is there already a name for "fanfic speculations"?
Because this is what that post is.
Tyler Lopez
this is literally from a magazine
Xavier Evans
if that's true, that's even worse because they're just lying to us.
Anthony Phillips
Then you will be happy to know we are getting an entire episode in the Legion of Doom's perspective... Yes its been confirmed we are getting a villains episode!
Kevin Flores
Which show
Cause fuck watching the last two seasons of Arrow to catch up just for this
James Barnes
Legends of Tomorrow.
Easton Wilson
Aw man that's even worse
Why can't we ever have nice things
Leo Johnson
Season 2, ignore season 1. Also put that Ritalin down kid and eat a snickers, you turn into a little whiny bitch when you are hungry...
Alexander Lewis
How are they lying?
Julian Miller
s2 has been genuinely good though, already miles better than any episode s1 put out.
Ian Jenkins
Woah, what the fuck even happened to that guy?
Benjamin Bell
Possibly controlled by the Philosopher's Stone.
Benjamin Jones
His issues have changed over the years. Originally he was just a guy struggling with his own evil impulses, and then Thawne tried to strengthen those impulses. Later he was being made evil by a star in space (that lasted for all of one issue). Eventually it was established that his evil impulses were put into an alternate personality given physical form by the Stone.
Aiden Wilson
>The midseason finale will reveal Prometheus' secret identity. He'll be a villain of Oliver's making, which will deeply affect Oliver.

Oh shit, i see it
Eli Flores
>feelings for Mon, not feelings for each other Who will be the interfering tramp this time? Winn?
Jackson Peterson
One of five women that found him attractive walking down the street that morning, and then the other four when he gets off work.
Jace Mitchell
>THE FLASH producers admit the payoff to the Zoom's storyline was disappointing and that they've misused time travel on the show. Flashpoint served to step back on it and and scale the narrative down.
By making it more complicated?
Christian Rivera
The problem is that the Speed Force can't be narrowed down like that. Its whole purpose is being a deus ex machine that lets Speedsters do whatever the plot needs them to do.
Noah Collins
How short is your attention span.
David Ward
>Amell seems like a genuine dude with decent acting skills
I watched the recent TMNT film, and I have to rebuff that comment.
Caleb Thompson
Don't get so angry.
Jonathan Morris
Maybe it's not complicated, but the Flashpoint did seem pretty dumb
Ethan Nguyen
I was guessing it would be be Barry's double too. Hell, if they even had his name change to hunter zolomon because he got adopted young or something i'd be fine with it
Landon Harris
So Supergirl is gonna get DAXAM'd? Isn't that heresy to Kryptonians?
