Arrow. Green Arrow tv show.

@Halberdier:

I think the best approach is to make it so that Gotham takes place in the past of Arrow and Flash, since Bruce isn't Batman yet. They already (by sheer coincidence) put the Queen Co. logo on a building in Gotham. I think the best way to achieve this is to have Robert Queen show up and try to make things better in Gotham, then later giving up because Gotham is unbearably stubborn.

Titans and Supergirl should cross over as they are with the other two shows.

Finally finished season 2, and that's it for my ability to watch episodes I haven't seen, unless the Arrow site has Season 3 all the way back to the start.

It's funny - in Season 1 Ollie was The Phantasm. In Season 2 Ollie is Batman. At this rate, by Season 4 he should be Superman.

Hmm... I wonder at which season he'll be Green Arrow. Season twelve, maybe?

Meanwhile, Barry is already being called "the Flash" a couple episodes in.

Interview with Marc Guggenheim

He talks about Black Canary, The Atom, and Ras al Ghul.

He's still pretty much Batman in Season 3, just with extra Wangst

To be fair, Green Arrow apparently started out as Batman with Arrows anyway, so it's not so crazy.

Wait... Captain Boomerang is Ashur?

Jesus christ isn't this like the 4th or 5th actor from Spartacus Blood And Sand this show has used?

I didn't even notice.

That's kinda funny.

Wait, I know Crixus actor Manu Bennet(sp) is here as Slade, but who else besides Ashur's actor is on this show.

IIRC, both Walter Steel and Amanda Waller's respective actors used to be on Spartacus.

Katrina law (Nyssa al Ghul) was also on Spartacus.

Oh.

Who were they?

I'm surprised I didn't recognize them.

Nyssa was Mira the Slave Girl turned rebel. The guy who played Walter wasn't but Im pretty sure at least one other Spartacus Alum has shown up.

Arrow's getting the Spartacus actors, Flash is getting Prison Break.

Arrow had two Prison Break actors Robert Knepper (Clock King) and Peter Stormare (Vertigo)

One of whom, (Knepper) guest starred on Flash

I can't wait for Deathstroke to escape the island again only to spend the rest of his life getting owned by a bunch of kids.

Actually (jumping to this thought from the thought of the Teen Titans, which made me think of Beast Boy), I've been thinking this universe would be a great one for a Doom Patrol show - especially with the nods we've gotten so far - though admittedly I can't think of how they would do Niles Caulder without thinking of basically what they're doing with Wells in Flash. Still, despite it's objective being the strange and bizarre, tone-wise depending on the writer the Patrol could get dark and serious enough to match Arrow's tone, or light and idealistic enough to match Flash's (the premise could be kind of similar to Flash, in that it's a small group dedicated to helping lost and confused "freaks" - which would mostly include, but is not limited to, metahumans - find a family).

Oh man, now I keep imagining a scene where someone tries to explain to Ollie the existence of Danny the Street, only for him to of course never believe it.

*Googles Danny the Street*

What. The. Actual. F***?

Your reaction is appropriate.

Apparently, Danny's summonable in Scribblenauts Unmasked, too. ...I have no idea how that works.

He's a sentient transvestite street. What's the big deal?

.....

I forgot about the Transvestite part.

I mean, just being a sentient street would be enough, but I guess they wanted to make him really unique.

Wikipedia says he was based on this person, so that might have something to do with it.

My favorite part of Danny's history is the bit where he got almost totally destroyed except for one piece, leaving him as Danny The Brick for a while. It's just so random for superheroes to be carrying around a sentient brick.

I wish I could say Danny is the weirdest part of Morrison's Doom Patrol run. I wish I could say he was close to the weirdest. But nope. Not by a long shot.

Danny will be a Flash enemy.

Well, in the Nu52 Danny is specifically as a teenage metahuman, he's a member of the Teen Titans for a while, and there is a storyline where he teams up with Kid Flash...

Personally, I think it might be even more WTF for Flash or Arrow to fight Flex Mentallo.

Though even Morrison's Doom Patrol has enemies that would likely fit a bit more comfortably in the less... certifiable environment of Flash or Arrow. If it weren't for the fact that I would definitely want them saved for a Doom Patrol show, for instance, it wouldn't be too out of place for Flash to fight the original Brotherhood of Dada (which was composed of a guy who could turn into a person-eating fog, a guy with whirlwind powers, a woman who gained superstrength while sleepwalking, and the leader who could drain the sanity from people around him, all of which aren't too unorthodox power wise. The only member who gets overly weird in powerset is The Quiz - my personal favorite - a woman who explicitly has every power you haven't thought of). The second Brotherhood of Dada... not so much.

Of course, even a Doom Patrol focused show should keep its most insane elements for when the audience isn't expecting him. I'd expect the general episodes to get strange and hint at eldtrich elements, but to not fall into utter confusion except at select moments and to mostly feel normal until we get surprised at how much its not.
