So I know I'm probably going to be totally wrong but I'm beginning to think Flash's Harrison Wells might be actually Rip Hunter. He's the closest thing DC has to a Timecop (besides Booster Gold) and has been shown to do some morally grey things and he's literally named after the dude wrote the Time Machine on the show. I'm probably totally off here but it seems to make sense given the lack of clues.

Ok, this has been bugging me for a while. Why everyone is talking about Zoom when Thawne has always gone by the Reverse Flash persona?

Because everything we've seen in the first 2 episodes kinda reminds us more of Zoom than reverse Flash (with the whole "must survive, be stronger), where as Thawne in the show has the same level of malice as Flash Thompson from the Raimi Spider-Man movies. Nothing is stopping him from being it later but all we've seen so far doesn't even seem to hint at it yet.

I would rather have Rip Hunter myself.

You're in luck cuz that basically describes Rip rather than Booster.

Has Booster Gold been cast yet? And if not, why not?

Because they're using his mentor his son Rip Hunter instead.

Stop making me sad about things that will never happen.

I'm almost certain that Palmer and Hunter will be given a similar dynamic, unless they decide to wait and introduce Ted properly after using Kord Industries on every generic box in Arrow.

They've changed the entire premise. It's about making superhero collateral damage protection gadgets for Wayne Enterprises now, instead of insurance.

It also means that Bruce Wayne sells stuff to protect against him injuring you.

James Gunn had said that part of the negotiation was to get Ego back but nobody could figure out how Ego would be with Fox.

I thought it's cuz he was tied up with the Fantastic Four rights by way of Silver Surfer.

Boring, wake me up when a tv show does the requisite "God is probably real after all and science can't explain some things." thing but from a Muslim perspective.

As a Muslim, we believe in Jesus too. He comes back for the Day of Judgement, did miracles, and everything else. We just don't believe he was the son of God. So it's about as valid.

I guess,we kinda just gave him a reverse of Wonder Woman Zeus Retcon.

So was anyone surprised by the plot twist of the Flash last night?

Not entirely, I've been half following the show this season and I guessed it would've been the Flash that got erase from the timeline when Barry went full retard and created Flashpoint. So I was half right.

Christoph Watlz?


I know likely too old, but he'd be perfect to play a brilliant, grandiose super-villain tyrant.

He's in a mask all the time, and they can use their young Tony Stark magic for the inevitable setup flash back. I feel the F4 have gone thru enough origin movies that even if they were to do it right that well would be poisoned. They just need to be retconned in or handled like the Ed Norton film where the origin is alluded to in he credits.

Fox doesn't maintain Fox continuity, which I think is oddly appropriate.

Isn't the unofficial explanation is "the current movie takes place in a different (but extremely similar) timeline than the one before" so they can just have people show up and not explain jack?

Also Shen Xorn, the one who sacrificed himself to save the X-Men, showed up again (unexplained) and was the ruler of the mutant nation New Tian. Then, during Secret Empire it was revealed that he was being mind controlled by Emma Frost who was really making all the decisions.

I think he's actively avoiding to be one. I remember a few weeks ago he was more or less asking if it's morally okay to be playing a irredeemable racist in todays climate.

There's a lot of speculation that they cordoned off the Netflix stuff to keep Perlmutter out of the MCU.

Yeah that was my understanding as well. The Hulu stuff is probably not connected but I think the Disney+ stuff will stay. Easiest way to tell is finding out how involved Jeph Loeb is, if it's his its probably separate.

Kevin Conroy also hasn't really done the separate Bruce Wayne voice since New Adventures started airing. That show seemed to want Bruce Wayne to just look and sound like Batman in a poor civilian disguise, and that's kinda where he's been ever since, at least in the material I've seen.



I don't know if Conroy has any input on that at all, but I sure have opinions about it.

Hard same, I miss BTAS Bruce as it is legitimately my favorite interpretation of him. I’m not a fan of this whole Bruce is the mask bullshit

I still think Bruce is a mask in those there's just a 3rd person you have to watch for and it's Bruce alone with alfred. Like he gets a ton of cred for his party boy Bruce voice versus his crime fighting Batman voice but it goes even deeper.

I totally agree with this. Scenes such as Bruce with Leslie or when he was with Matthew Thorne asking about his parents felt more like the real Bruce. I just reject the whole idea of Bruce being Batman all the time of he could. Playboy Bruce, business Bruce, and Batman should all be different aspects of one person.
