I still can't see any "Batmanification" that people apparently see in Man of Steel.

It's mostly a combination of the Deconstruction elements and the use of plot devices like the Codex. There's also the tendency for other characters to start waxing philosophically about Superman's destiny to the detriment of whatever character they previously had, most infamously in the case of Pa Kent.

In the case of Arrow, I was more lenient with the Nolanfication of GA if only because there was a fairly lengthy and well received period in the comics where he moved into Darker and Edgier territory.

Firestorm (Ronnie Raymond) confirmed. He's being played by Stephen Amell's cousin, Robbie.

On Arrow? I thought the plan was "save the crazy powers for the Flash show". And Firestorm is the textbook definition of crazy powers.

Doesn't Arrow have to give up his girl Friday to be Firestorm's mom.

[up][up]No, he's coming to Flash. Thus, the post is in the Flash thread.

I thought that article pretty clearly stated that it was The Flash that was getting Firestorm.

In any case it's awesome news, since Smallville totally missed out on giving Firestorm his/their live action debut. Hopefully Flash won't waste any chances with other DC heroes who desperately need it, like the Doom Patrol members, certain New Teen Titans members, and... I need some more time to think about this.

I'm still not giving up hope about Hal Jordan here or Arrow, especially with that leaked information about DC references.

This is what happens when you open 3-4 threads on your watchlist and you don't pay attention to which one you're posting in.

So The Tomorrow People (2013) didn't work out, so Robbie Amell's gonna be on The Flash (2014) now? Nice.

The only Firestorm I know about is from the Brave and the Bold so this should be interesting.

Episode 2 gets an official title.

Episode 2 is titled "Fastest Man Alive" and it is written by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg and the teleplay comes from Andrew Kreisberg & Geoff Johns. David Nutter is also directing it.

Hint at the villain for Episode 2

Now, if I can interest you in some Episode 2 scoop, I am hearing that the second metahuman The Flash will face off against might make us all feel a bit… well, Mist-y.

[up]I don't know with the Arrow universe they use both pre and post New 52 for the characters.

Weather Wizard was basically the post New 52 version in terms of having powers.

Captain Cold could still be pre-New 52.

He seems a bit too sexy to be pre-Flashpoint Cold.
